Sorry, breaking the rules for 'one' movie. Consider it a working list:
-Kudos to Will Brink for 'Bladerunner - The Director's Cut.'
-Cinderella Man
-The Lord of the Rings
-The Lost Battalion (with Ricky Schroeder)
-James Bond - Skyfall
-13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
-The Count of Monte Christo (with James Caviezel)
-Last of the Mohicans
-Warhorse
-Gladiator
Where violence is the local language, be fluent.
The only thing missing from this movie was a P7.
I promise you a day of reckoning that you won't live long enough to never forget.
I just did two lines of powdered wig powder, cranked up some Lee Greenwood, and recited the BoR. - Outlander Systems

I had to watch Way of the Gun a couple of times to really appreciate it.
My addition: End of Watch. Mostly for the character interaction between Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena as patrol partner. They got the interaction, banter, and partnership pretty damn close to perfect. The gangsters also match well based on my experiences with West Coast bangers.
Runner-Up: Dr. Stangelove. I feel it expertly captured the early Cold War tensions between the US and Soviet Union, then translated it into a dark comedy. Peter Sellers playing three roles, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, a young James Earl Jones.
Honorable mentions: Blazing Saddles (couldn't be done today), 13 Hours, Bullitt, to name a few.
Reads a lot, posts little.
Sadly the movie itself was a giant dog turd full of characters I either didn't care about or didn't like and a story that I just didn't give a shit about. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. I think I'd rather watch a good movie with terrible gun handling, like Predator.
Heat was the pinnacle for brilliant film with excellent gun handling, number two would probably be Thief but I personally don't think the film itself was that powerful.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
