Best movie for revolvers?

Broken Trail... Lot of different revolvers, best revolver fight.

Second best... Electra-glide in blue. Good movie that showcased Colt's.
 
Cheapshooter Nailed it on the head. DIRTY HARRY CALLAHAN "GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY" Definitely#1
 
I sort of liked The Mummy. LOTS of double action revolvers in that, including a pair that likely had never seen movie time before -- Mle 1873 11mm French Ordnance revolvers.

L.A. Confidential isn't bad. Lots of Colts and Smith & Wessons.

I had one more, and I'll be darned if I can now remember it.
 
When I said "best portrayal" I was thinking more in terms accurate usage. Like using the sights and two handed grips at least.
 
Since the one in the Hellboy movie is not an actual gun in production ... Looked pretty cool . I would also vote Dirty Harry !
 
What's wrong with the Batman movie where Jack Nicholson as the villain
pulls out a piece with a ridiculously long barrel length ?

Or Indiana Jones where Harrison Ford draws down on the bullwhip wielding, turban wrapped, huge bad guy ?

Let's think out of the box here !;)
 
I liked Magnum Force with the Model 29 and the Python both prominent.

The "go ahead make my day" from Sudden Impact had memorable moments but remember, thats also the one where he had the 44 automag.
 
The Quick and the Dead,,,

The one with Sharon Stone.

The movie itself was fairly silly,,,
But with all of the match duels in the street,,,
They did manage to showcase several unique revolvers.

It's the only movie I've ever seen with someone using a LeMat.

OOPS! I just noticed the OP said double-action revolvers.

The Quick and the Dead

Great cast, not so great a movie but plenty of revolvers, SA mostly IIRC.
 
Murtaugh never switches to an automatic does he?


Nor the fat bald cop in Beverly Hills Cop

I remember a tv show I worshipped as a kid but can't remember the name, it was about a private detective, with a ponytail and he had a snubnose revolver with pearl handle, it looked like Hawaii or Miami or similar, ring a bell?
 
"Like using the sights and two handed grips at least."

Uhm... I do a lot of my revolver shooting one handed.

You can't always count on being able to come to a two-handed grip.
 
Godfather, scene when Michael kills the Turk and McClusky:

Tessio: "Did you do the job on him?"

Michael: "I saw his brains."

(Hmm, that may have been from the book).

EDIT: yes it was--here's the full outtake:
“Did you do the job on Sollozzo?” Tessio asked.
For that moment Michael was struck by the idiom Tessio had used. It was always used in a sexual sense, to do the job on a woman meant seducing her. It was curious that Tessio used it now. “Both of them,” Michael said.
“Sure?” Tessio asked.
“I saw their brains,” Michael said.

Oh hell, I just remembered the movie I was thinking of...

Untouchables!

Great scenes with Winchester 1897s and Thompsons, as well.
