Greatest movie snipers

Post by Softball »

I have just about all of these movies on DVD. A pretty good collection of sniper action scenes. My favorite is the Saving Private Ryan sniper vs sniper shot.

My vote for #1 movie sniper goes to Barry Pepper. He just ruled.

The Sniper
a k a The Deadly Tower
1975-USA-Docudrama


PLOT DESCRIPTION
Made for television, Sniper originally aired under the title The Deadly Tower. In vivid, sweat-inducing detail, the film recreates the horror of August 4, 1966, when outwardly normal student Charles Whitman climbed to the tower of the University of Texas and began firing his rifle on the passersby below. 13 people were killed and 34 wounded before Whitman himself was killed by courageous police office Ramiro Martinez. Filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this docudrama stars Kurt Russell as Whitman, Richard Yniguez as Ramirez, and Ned Beatty as Alan Crum, a reluctant bystander who became an equally reluctant hero when pressed into service by Ramirez. The Deadly Tower first aired October 18, 1975.


I saw this when I was a kid and it was and it was shocking. The movie got me More interested in military snipers and why someone would do something like that.
