The Red Dragon HQ battle never grabbed me nearly as much as Ballad did, my second favorite from CB is probably Pierrot le Fot(sp?).

It's not exactly a shoot-'em-up scene, but people do get shot...

Mine is the ending sequence of "The Godfather Part II," starting from where the fishing boat is lowered into the water and ending when Michael Corleone sits contemplatively with one hand up to his forehead (before the flashback to the dining room scene). So beautifully done...

Honorable mention, 3000 Miles to Graceland, the scene at the end where Ice-T is spinning upside down, hosing cops with two uzis.

Also, all of the gunfights from Boondock Saints.

Oh hell yes, that was the grittiest, bloodiest, most excellent gunfight ever. For those who haven't seen it, it involves a gatling gun, and everyone dies, including the main characters. :D

The final shoot out between Leon and SWAT in Leon (AKA. The Professional) has always been one of my favourites. Don't know if this really counts, but the beginning scene of Saving Private Ryan is sweet as well.

Choosing my absolute favourite is impossible, but the gunfights in The Killer, Hard Boiled, Matrix, Leon, Winter War, Road to Perdition and Terminator 2 are all excellent.

Today I'm going to watch Pacino's "Scarface" and I hope it lives up to its reputation.

Gunfight at the end of True Romance was good.

Hell, that whole movie was good. :D

EDIT: its probably closer to 30 minutes
Hard boilled is deffinitly one of the best action movies i have ever seen. Its old, but good... and strangely nestalgic of grand thieft auto vice city.... hrmmmm, or perhaps the other way around. From the polyesther suits, to the thugs on dirt bikes with uzis ... that movie one nonstop gun fest that you dont really think is going to end. ( and really you forget the point of it half way through) Equillibrium was also a pretty decent movie. Although the guy from American Psycho being the main character was freaking me out, hes just creepy. The gun scenes in " the phantom " ( i think thats what it was called ) was pretty cool. The matrix end scene obviously. The replacement killers had some cool shooters in it. Black masks Hospital scene was pretty cool as well.
