range 900 yards when you want a job done
right you call in the experts welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we're counting
down our picks for the top 10 snipers in
movies for this list we're taking a look
at movie snipers who excel at their
crack through their confirmed kills
skill shots or just plain badassery
these are the movie guns you don't want
to go up against not even in your fancy
video games number 10
gunnery sergeant Bob Lee swagger shooter
he's an internally tormented ex-military
sharpshooter who gets set up by rogue
government agents Oh
and his name is swagger aside from the
heightened machismo and almost
superhuman combat and survival abilities
he's not too shabby with a sniper rifle
clearly someone thought he was talented
enough to be framed for an assassination
attempt on the president we gotta take
him ten seconds when Max is set up take
him take him now number nine the jackal
the day of the jackal how much do one
half a million what in cash half in
advance and half on completion he's a
hired gun on the run and he can't be
stopped if you can't manage it then
unless said he's the sniper criminals go
to when they need advanced killing
skills and they'll beg borrow and steal
to obtain his services his expert
marksmanship makes him an excellent
sniper which is fortunate for the
guerrilla group he's working for but not
so good for the President of France

number eight Cherise waters smokin aces
she's beautiful she's badass and she
knows her way around an m-80 - not your
everyday sniper she's part of an
assassin tag team that's after a
lucrative mark and her role as the
sniper is vital to the job when she
wails on the FBI they are no match for
her firepower or her hot-blooded
dedication to her partner in crime
number seven Chris Chehalis heat
everyone needs a good sniper on their
team especially if you're a career
criminal specializing in high stakes
robberies
he's the main criminals right-hand man
he's a skilled killer but his finest
skill is with his sniper rifle his cool
calm demeanor is only influenced by the
apparent affection he has for his family
hey nobody said snipers had to be
cold-blooded
let's play number six make Taylor Wolf
Creek what you do they hate Judah not
clearing diamond
he's a deranged killer with a sniper's
eye for accuracy probably not the best
combo for stranded motorists an
unfortunate trio of backpackers is
targeted by this crafty serial killer
slash marksman who makes easy work of
his victims when they try to escape
moving vehicles and distraught coeds are
no match for a vicious sniper with a
lust for blood and impeccable aim number
five the caller phone booth if you hang
up I will kill them it's not every day
you come across snipers with really
intense moral convictions I have no use
for you soon none I would just like you
to tell Kelly the truth about yourself
and if they're anything like the sniper
in this movie you're gonna want to
ensure you're living your life as
righteously as possible to avoid
incurring their wrath let's see
the sniper effortlessly picks off both a
toy robot and a pimp with the same
amount of regard which probably isn't
easy when you're on the phone at the
same time number four Lance Corporal
private Anthony Swofford jarhead I'm 20
years old and I was dumb enough to sign
a contract when life hands you lemons
you join the military and become a scout
sniper in Operation Desert Shield I can
hear their bombs it scared ya he spent
time training for it he honed his skill
and he's desperate for some action in
the field we fire at nothing although
his talent as a military sniper is only
a part of his experience in the Persian
Gulf officers in control tower over it
is what helps shape his future in the
service and in the rest of his life and
afterwards he comes home and he sees
that whatever else he might do with his
life he will always remain a jarhead
number three private Daniel Jackson
Saving Private Ryan used to put me in
this year's sniper rifle anywhere up to
and including one mile Adolph Hitler
with a clear line of sight sir pack your
bags fellas wars over he was a
sharpshooter who was essential to the
mission vital even his skill with a
sniper rifle not only afforded his squad
the necessary cover to advance in their
mission
it also aided in the fight against the
Germans this bible-quoting marksmen may
have had divine intervention on his side
but it was definitely 100 percent talent
behind that trigger number two major
gunnery sergeant Thomas Beckett sniper
when it clears his pavilion he's mine
the title of the movie basically
explains the premise of the film the
movie's protagonist is an experienced
sniper so experienced in fact he's
entrusted with taking out a rebel
general down in the wilds of Colombia
it seems simple at first at least
according to sniper standards but when
you account for inexperience Tagalongs
and a web of drug cartel informants well
it seems like an old sniper can't catch
a break before we take aim at our top
pick here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
[Applause]
number one Vassili Zaitsev enemy at the
gates in a sniper versus sniper showdown
only the best will survive and that's
saying a lot considering it's the height
of World War two and anyone can be
killed at any moment especially with
guys like German major Irvin Cunha
ground but its site serves quick
thinking and supreme skill with a sniper
rifle that helped secure his survival
plus it never hurts to have a pretty
face peering down a scope towards a
target
