I am sitting in my angry chair!
We Were Soldiers with Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley and his 1911.
Here's a nice list of movies with the 1911... http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/1911

"Where you recognize evil, speak out against it, and give no truces to your enemies." - 'Havamal'.
So many choices. I would have to go with The Hunt For Red October.
Doobie Doobie Doo..
Since my choices are taken, I'll add The Untouchables...
The Guns Network | Often Imitated - Never Duplicated!

Red Heat. There are several members of a black gang all armed with identical 1911A1s.
Besides the obvious war movies like We Were Soldiers and Saving Private Ryan, I would like to add Ronin. Can't remember exactly if it's seen in the movie, but DeNiro has best line about it near the beginning...I'll try to find and post.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them. ... Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever."--Thomas Jefferson
Just remembered "Gladys" in Sin City.

Oh I'd pick two.
Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis carries two of them.
Heat - Al Pacino carries an officers Model 1991.
"Zombieland" Woody Harrelson shooting the mass of zombies from the amusement park booth. Freakin' hilarious!
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number,
its number is Six hundred and sixty six."

BEING THE MODERATOR OF THE ROADHOUSE IS LIKE BEING THE JANITOR OF A PEEP SHOW.
Well, not a movie but from a series: The "Vegas" episode of Stargate Atlantis where Shepard pulls an ultimate stainless 1911 from his glove box.
US Constitution: Article 1 Section 8 Paragraph 4
The Congress shall have Power To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization
The Way of the Gun
Both main characters use 9x19 Government Series 70 pistols. I particualry like the big shoot out scene where Rhan Phillippe carrys a bag full of mags with him. Lots of reloading which is much more realistic than the usual movie gun that never runs dry.
Face/Off
Gotta love Nicholas Cage's twin, gold plated Springfield Armory V-10 pistols, especially with that twin, SOB rig he carries them in. Vented barrel, 10+1 capacity pimped to the max!

Fun as hell Swamp... I couldn't agree more.
