"Nikita" made me want to buy a Desert Eagle.
That won't ever happened
"Lord of War" (Nicholas Cage) made me want to buy an AK of some sort. That hasn't happened yet.
"Predator" made me want to buy a mini-gun.
Surprinsingly, that hasn't happened yet either. Who'd have guessed...?

Harley Davidson and the Marlbro man. Ruger super blackhawk 454 converted 4 inch barrel. Gotta make mine with birdshead grips though.

Sniper/DM scenes are always a favorite for me...So, it was no surprise when I was younger and fell in love with the m14/m1a, thanks in part to Black Hawk Dawn.
And of course, an '03 from Saving Private Ryan.
And lastly, Enemy at The Gates. Though I don't have a PU, I do have an m44. Not really hard to attain nor the main reason I own one it it was still a decent movie.
Personally, I feel like the shooting/historical accuracy in these movies was about as realistic as possible in these movies compared to many others.

Photo (or maybe even the movie 'still' it was taken from) was flopped before it was posted. The forum just shows an image that's hosted someplace else; it only shows what it's directed to show.
The '03 that actor Barry Pepper is shooting in the photo below that one shows a left-handed character shooting a right-handed rifle lefty, interestingly enough. The '03 he's firing is interesting too. His character used at least two different '03 sniper rifles in the film. The one pictured is a prop-master's concoction, I believe. Looks good though

"The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" makes me want a 1851 navy conversion so bad I can taste it. Though the movie "The Punisher" was just ok, the two colt 1911s were really neat and I would love to have a pair. "No Country For Old Men" makes me want a shotgun with a silencer.

According to the 'You might be a mall ninja' thread, anyone who wants a gun they saw in a movie is a mall ninja... Just sayin
That being said, every time I watch Black Hawk Down, I want an 11.5 in AR with suppressor.... I guess I am a mall ninja. ....sighhhhh...

Absolutely. I grew up watching Clint Eastwood Westerns on Saturday mornings so Single Actions and Lever Actions are what I wanted, and comprise most of what I own today. My first new gun was a Winchester 9422M for my 9th or 10th Bday?
Last Man Standing made me buy a bunch of extra Mags for the Colt 45.

I purchased two, both henries. My AR-7 and my Mares leg are 100% as a result of movies and television. 5 year old BitterTait swore he would own one of those, and Adult BitterTait fulfilled that promise. Now all I need is a Rocket Car and and a pet Dinosaur and I'll have everything I wanted in kindergarden.
