Best Assassin Flick

[syxxpac]

I choose of course: T2

[bowieee]

T2

[The Claw]

Dirty Harry or The Terminator. Both quite good.

I havent seen T2 since I was like 8.

[A.J. Hakari]

Other; THE PROFESSIONAL is my favorite assassin picture (THE MECHANIC is a good flick, too).

[The Professional]

and of course, Leon.

[QUENTIN]

Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samourai. Runner up is the film that goes far beyond the simple assassination, Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist.

Other greats:

The Day of The Jackal
La Femme Nikita
The Professional
Ghost Dog: The Way of The Samurai

[VicVega]

I gotta say Léon....one of my all-time favorite films.

[Buck Turgidson]

Day Of The Jackal for me. Fox is always cool, in everything he does. Learned a lot of techniques from that movie, too.

I'd also mention Ghost Dog (great call by Q) and The Mechanic (great call by Adam). That whole first sequence where Bronson sets up the hit, meticulously planning everything until he puts the wheels in motion, is fascinating.


Branded To Kill is just...amazing. "If you don't have any rice, go to a store and buy some!!"

[Hannibal21]

Terminator II: Judgment Day followed closely by The Professional.

[syxxpac]

LOL! Yeah, I was going to put Leon on there. I had him lined up but seem to have forgotten to add him. Stupid me :p

[MikeyB]

Leon

[The Professional]

I couldn't think of a suitable "other", so I went with Dirty Harry. You gotta respect Clint.

Leon

[pat00139]

The Killer, no contest.

Leon next
Then... probably Le Samourai
Then, say, Fallen Angels (although that's kind of iffy, but judging from some of the movies in the list, this should be acceptable.)

The listh has very good movies, but those are the best, in my opinion.

(Fulltime Killer's a lot of fun, also.)

Most Definitely

[quoth_the_raven]

i am also going to say leon :)

hey, i liked it :)

[Grim H.]

Leon The Professional.
I saw this on HBO. Kick ass movie.

[El Bracamonti]

out of all the movies that i've seen from that list, t2 would have to be my fav.

[RogueSpear]

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

[Cyclonus]

It's a tie between Terminator 1 & 2, though I ended up voting for T2.

[Puck Bond]

I went with The Day of the Jackal...a fav of mine.

I also want to add the best comedy about hitmen/assassins...the smart and funny Grosse Pointe Blank.

Excellent. Thought I was going to be all by myself.

I think of this movie every time I see one of those almost round, deep green watermelons. :D

[freakandgeek]

the terminator was my choice!!!!


woo hoo!!!!!!

[Mikey2Dope]

My vote went to T2.

[[Durden]]

Enemy at the Gates

[The Sandman]

Assasins is my fav on the list... it's not the best movie but for me it was intense when I see this on big screen at 12 years old.

[mrdeeds]

T-2 would be my pick of the list.... though assassin film?

The T1000 is sent back through time to assassinate John Connor.

Hence the reason it's on there.

[MickeyKnox]

Also i have to note

The Killer-10/10
The Day of the Jackal-9/10

[James Logan]

I voted Other, as Luc Besson's LEON is for me the best assassin movie there is -- and it's a crime it's not on that list, Syxx', shame on you... ;)

[Donnie_Darko]

I'll stick to the list...

The Killer 10/10... for sure.

I also loved Last Man Standing 9/10.... one of my favorite Bruce Willis flicks.

There are others, but no need to go overboard and list every movie I've seen... :cool:

is that an assassin movie though? its more like a gunfighter sort of movie. its still great though :D

[radikill]

I voted for The Killer. For a movie that violent to have characters and a story deep enough to bring a tear to my eye at the end... that's a certain kind of special.

[KillerKlown]

Other: Leon The Professional.

Yeah, I know, I know.

I'll think of a suitable punishment for my dumb ass sometime this week. Don't worry. This type of thing will never happen again.

:p
