HItman: The Contest

[Perk]

Ok here is the scenario.  ONce again i am bored and also I am about to leave town so I decided to have a little contest.  I'm asking that the members of the board (or visitors that come across this post) list your top three Hitman movies.  Meaning movies where Hitmen are main focal characters.  If you want you can also give reasons or name a particular Hitman.  When I return I'll do a quick tally and see which movie gets the most votes.  I know there is no real reason for this but it gives me something to look forward to when I come home :>

Oh and my three are
Crying Freeman
Pulp Fiction
The Big Hit

[Anon E. Mouse]

Fallen Angels
La Femme Nikita
Panic

[Dolph Lundgren]

Cool topic, Perk.  Hope you have a good time out of town.  Here are mine:

1.  (The) Killer, directed by John Woo.  This is a no-brainer for me.  One of Woo's best, and that's saying something.

2.  Crying Freeman.  Good call on this one, Perk.  Dacascos is his usual badass self, the lady he's with in the movie is hot (and his wife in real life), and Gans did a great job directing as well.

3.  Boondock Saints.  I don't know if this truly qualifies, but Il Duce is a hitman, and the guys believe that they're hitmen on a mission from God.  So I guess I'll go ahead and list this as my third choice, but if there's any objection, let me know.  A tremendous movie nonetheless.

I totally agree on the John Woo vein - he does come very cool hitman movies. I recall reading somewhere that the killer set a record for the most bullets fired in a motion picture film ever..

I'd have to go with The Replacement Killers, The Professional and Assassins.

Point of No Return
Pulp Fiction
Desporado/El Mariachi

Ok I know it's a movie I've never seen, but what about Grosse Pointe Blank?

[Paul Hotbranch]

Pulp Fiction
Ballistic:Ecks VS sever

"Grosse Pointe Blank" rules! My votes are for this one and "The professional".

Crying Freeman all the way

Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag. Joe Pesci manages to be both dangerous and likable at the same time.
