    Default Movies about hitmen

    Number one with a bullet will always be the Professional
    I love Lucky Number Slevin, Grosse Pointe Blank and the Jackal

    John Wick was good but a little over hyped.

    And I have a soft spot for Blame it On The Bellboy.

    But I just recently rewatched Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (for the first time since seeing it in theaters) It's an okay movie. But I really want to know of it is true or just a figment of Barris's over active imagination.

    Any way what are your favorotw hitman movies


    Oh and the big hit. Saw that in college. That girl was scrumptious.

    Strictly speaking, the Rurouni Kenshin films are about a retired hitman.

    Depends on how you want to look at it.

    I'd say Miller's Crossing works, and it's one of my favorite films.

    I'd also say The Hard Way and Exiled.

    Also seems like Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead and A Prayer For The Dying work. Both are great films.

    Recently saw Mr. Right with Sam Rockwell. Fun hitman movie.
    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    The Killer. It's a John Woo movie from Hong Kong starring Chow Yun Fat. It's really really really good.

    I'd say for me "Léon: The Professional" is the most memorable one. Mostly because he was sort of a reluctant hero and the fantastic bloodbath scene at the end. Plus he liked plants. And I like plants

    A good runner up is "Pulp Fiction". Some nice scenes of blood and gore in that one too. Plus Vincent Vega liked to dance. And I like to dance.

    And then there are the government-employed hit-men.
    Basically any Jamess Bond movie, but particularily the less silly ones.

    And La Femme Nikita. Besson likes hit-people.

    Speaking of Chow Yun Fat, The Replacement Killers is pretty good.

    And Pierce Bronson did a very quirky hitman movie called The Matador.
