I know the classic Dirty Harry movies are great one for S&W fans but wonder what others might feature S&W's?
Don't really want a 44 mag but enjoy the DH movies.

Last night I watched Clarice Starling shoot Buffalo Bill with what I think was a heavy barrel Model 10. But my eyesight is terrible.

Fort Apache, the Bronx starring Paul Newman
This contains a scene where the old cop (Newman) makes a statement like "If you can't do it with six, you can't do it."
The Big Sleep starring Humphrey Bogart
If you understand the plot of this one the first time you see it, you are a unique individual. Cops, private eyes, gangsters, all armed with revolvers. I do think Joe Brody and Carmen Sternwood had semi-autos, but they were in the minority.
Of course, any gangster movie of the thirties (Little Caesar, The Public Enemy) is going to have revolvers, in addition to being great movies, if a little dated.

"Point Blank" starring a grumpy, vengeful Lee Marvin and a 4" S&W .44 Magnum.
In his huge hands, it looks like a Model 19.

Paul Kersey used a revolver the first time around.
Pharoahsoon, Clarice used a 3" Model 13 to put Buffalo Bill down. Great reload too!

Hey if you get it the second time you are still pretty quick.
You also get the bonus: "Coolest car 'holster' rig". (It flips down from under the dash.)
MOVIE GUNS
Since were talking movie guns, I just saw "The Taking of Pelham 123". In one scene the street cop hands the "negotiator' a Walther PPK and in the next scene it magically morphs into a Kahr K-9. I know i'm off subject, but that really irked me.

Hey, all you 627 fans out there...anyone see "Blood Work"? 
A great movie directed by the brilliant John Boorman and I had forgotten. Thanks for reminding me!

I think this is the same sort of rig seen later on TV in a private eye's car. I believe that Phillip Carey was the actor and the show was about Phillip Marlowe.
I think he had a Detective Special and a Police Positive Special under his dash. I was 10 or 12 then, but knew most Colt models.

That's a great picture, JHVaughan2! Another good Bogie flick where a revolver comes in handy is To Have and Have Not.
A more modern gangster movie featuring revolvers is True Romance. The plot is preposterous, but hey, it's hollywood.

Talking of Lee Marvin reminded me of the one where he is a Mounty up in the Yukon and is chasing Charles Bronson. Keeps a revolver on a lanyard but can't remember if it's a S&W or Colt.
