I always debate (with myself) over which was better: Unforgiven or Open Range. Unforgiven is wonderful for its brutality and sort of...well, it's simple. It's straightforward and there's no flashy tricks going on. Open Range really makes you feel the intensity of the moment and proves to have some really exciting camerawork/choreography. I definitely think both movies should be higher on the list.

How about the climactic last stand in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Edit: Had some more thoughts.

First off Scarface is a goofy film. It doesn't belong on any list except for "most overrated."

An underrated movie with some realistic gunplay is Way of the Gun. One of the things I always notice si how loud the guns are. They don't sound like canned effects, if you watch this on a good set up you'll feel like someone actually is firing at you.
