Sniper Movie Recommendations? - Blu-ray Forum

srinivas1015 · 01-04-2013, 10:43 AM

Any recommendations for movies based on Snipers or featuring lots of sniping sequences? I'm think of buying The Hurt Locker after watching the sniper sequence clip on YouTube.

Shooter
Enemy at the Gates
Saving Private Ryan (not a lot but Jackson is a bad mofo)
Sniper

Zero_Cool · 01-04-2013, 11:01 AM

Shooter

All I need to say.

Well, maybe full metal jacket.

crazyBLUE · 01-04-2013, 11:03 AM

Definitely ~ Shooter

Jack Reacher had some sniper scenes. Great movie.

toddly6666 · 01-04-2013, 01:40 PM

Edward Scissorhands had tons of great snipping scenes.

Enemy at the Gates and to a much lesser extent Saving Private Ryan and Black Hawk Down.

Riddler The Slag · 01-04-2013, 01:51 PM

Enemy At The Gates.

Fantastic film!

Taipan · 01-04-2013, 02:31 PM

D.C. Sniper: 23 days of fear.
Enemy at the Gates
Shooter
Sniper
Full Metal Jacket
Assassins (Sly)
The Deadly Tower
2 minute warning

Here is a rediculous list with Snipers:

I'll also agree with the others on here that have mentioned Enemy at the Gates and Saving Private Ryan. They're both very good movies. Barry Pepper as Jackson is definetily my favorite character in Saving Private Ryan. And I have to throw out Phone Booth. I really enjoyed that movie as well.

Al_The_Strange · 01-04-2013, 10:22 PM

Shooter was the first thing that came to mind. I see I'm not the only one.

I second Enemy at the Gates, SPR, and Full Metal Jacket.

I'll just add The Hurt Locker, and if I remember right, Jarhead.

Enemy at the Gates would be a must. Hurt Locker also had a great sniping scene. And of course Sniper!

vegeta88 · 01-05-2013, 12:01 AM

I throw a +1 on Shooter and Saving Private Ryan. SPR has my favorite sniping sequences.

Can't for the life of me understand the love for Enemy at the gates.Just corny to me.IMO ofcourse

To contribute:Would recommend Hurt locker.Even if you won't like the movie as a whole,you'll appreciate the sniperscene (in HD).

JCP_San_Diego · 01-05-2013, 12:17 AM

Shooter was the first thing I thought of also. I definitely agree with Saving Private Ryan & Full Metal Jacket.
