Re: Best Military Sniper Movie.
A sniper movie that I've been trying to pin down,something about a sniper team in Bosnian involved a little girl brought in a live generade ,blowing up one of the sniper,as they were doing some R and R. Shooter,Enemy at the Gate ,Shot through the heart,are some of my favorites,only a real sniper could made a good sniper movie,all the little items is would counts,even some of these movies have parts that are a little weird!Germino Apache movie is good.

Re: Best Military Sniper Movie.
Savior with Stellan Skarsgård is the one merc that is blown up by the little girl in Bosnia.
Sabotage , is the film about an Seal sniper team in Bosnia, and one of the coolest 50 rifles put in film later in the film .

They need to make a movie called "Whitefeather" and make it 3 hours long, purely based off of Carlos Hathcock from childhood to death. That would be an awesome movie!

Specific sniper movies:
1. Enemy at the Gates
2. Shot Through the Heart
And there were many others that included sniper action, as has been pointed out, examples of which are "Savior", "Saving Pvt Ryan", "UH60 Down", "B.O.B", "The Day of the Jackal" (not the Bruce Willis one, although that one was OK), and others.

Re: Best Military Sniper Movie.
Savior is one of the best and disturbing films i have ever seen. As a frined of me that served in Kosovo with NATO he said that the Film was the best portraiying of the war down there and reality was even worse. Its a grim reality and a wake up film for war romantics.
In Bosnia there was a lady commanding a paramillitary outfit and she was nick named dSniper Queen or Sniper Wolf, it was one of them. She was brutal and merciless, shots lots people, i wonder what made her become a sniper and that would be a film worth making.
Another friend of me was in a town as part of UN when they came in and they had been a ragged tagged outfit, she was filthy and dirty and her mind wasn`t with her, the war had brutalised her. She apperaed to be a stunning girl under that war torn outer , and it was only after they gave her some norwegian magazines , lady magazines gossip and celebrity ones that they saw a hint of feminity and the young girl that was her .

I'd like that too, but it shouldn't be just THAT event. Making a movie for that one event doesn't do the man any justice in my opinion.

I'd like to see someone do a mini series off the book Unintended Consequences. That'd be a movie!!

Re: Best Military Sniper Movie.
Didn't see <span style="font-style: italic">Savior</span>, but I did see most of the others, including <span style="font-style: italic">Shot Through The Heart</span>, which I take as reasonably true to the situation it tries to depict. I like <span style="font-style: italic">Shooter</span> for a generic representation of the shooting aspects.
I think the title <span style="font-style: italic">Sharpshooter</span> was applied as sucker bait. Under a different title, it wouldn't be so incongruous, and isn't such a terrible flic if all you're looking for is another action movie.
I like Snipes and Segal movies, dang me, for really nothing more than the action. Since it's Hollyweird anyway, it's not such a difficult task to suspend one's sense of disbelief and just enjoy the action.
If I were holding back waiting for complete authenticity, I wouldn't be watching very many movies; not even documentaries, would I?

As for enemy at the gates, I really didnt like it. The sex scene, was it me or did it look like he was raping her? I'll have to go back and watch it again, but it sure did.
Also in shooter, Donnys wife, was hotter than hot. That scene when she answered the door. You could almost see the ta ta's

I too liked Shooter, but can not forgive them for leaving out the 10 Black Kings. Sorry Mod 70 fan. That, and I preferred Bob as a VN Vet. Since reading the book, I thought Clint Eastwood would have made a great “Bob the Nailer”. Maybe not for Point of Impact, but for A Time to Hunt.

Re: Best Military Sniper Movie.
Quigley Down Under, Shooter, Enemy at the gates(my favorite), Black hawk Down, Full metal jacket, Heartbrake ridge. Edit- And the first sniper movie. (if you have netflix you go online to Watch instantly* and watch it right on your computer)
Some are just war though. But those are my favorites.
