I always liked the gunfights in Heat (referenced in the Michael Mann tribute above).
One of the technical directors for Heat is a member here. Mike Grasso, he was td for the cops.

Oh, that's funny. I thought it stood for Quit F'ing Teasing!
Man, I am getting old!
QFT! He is genuinely a bad*** on the range. He is a student of Taran Butler, and is obviously a good student who pays attention.
Because Freeman's Law dictates that every INGO thread devolve into a faculty lounge discussion, the miners in PA and WV were drawn toward communist groups and unions out of necessity. My grandfather's family is from those parts and going into the mines back then was a death sentence, not to mention living in company towns, buying from company stores and living a subsistence life while the owners got rich.
The private security groups hired by the companies and deputized by the establishment were willing to fight, so the miners didn't have much choice, either. They were willing to die because they were barely living. Now, the Molly Maguires weren't exactly saints, either, but it was a different time.

Wiki does a good job on this one.I have relatives from my wife's side that grew up in So. PA and West Virginia. One "uncle" used to call one of his nieces "Molly Maguire". Her name was Molly so I assumed he just picked Maguire. What's the story behind Molly Maguire?

Probably had a better lawyer.
.Maybe not a gunfight per se, but the beach landing scene in Saving Private Ryan. If you watch that and watch the actual footage, you will see that the producers/directors spent a lot of time studying that footage.
It is said by some that Keanu Reaves is currently the best trained Hollywood actor when it comes to firearms handling. Supposedly he really put his all into the training for John Wick 2.
