Open Range, a great if underseen western has a great scene with Robert Duvall and a shotgun towards the end of a really well done gunfight.
For a slightly offbeat scene, check out Wild at Heart, for a pretty funny scene with Willem Dafoe and a shotgun in a bank robbery gone awry.
The Getaway (original) with Steve McQueen...

All three "Terminator" movies feature shotguns very prominently, most famously Arnie's one-handed use of a Winchester 1887 (lever action) in T2 (riding a motorcycle, etc.).
The "Mummy" movies have some good old-school shotgunning, including the 1887.
"No Country for Old Men" has some good scenes. Many people say the suppressed shotgun is not realistic though.
"L.A. Confidential" has a pretty intense shotgun scene.
"Aliens" reminds us why shotguns can come in handy when investigating in strange locals.
"Army of Darkness" is one of the all time classics.
Tim Sizemore in "Heat", a good guy to back you up.
The "Mad Max" movies, "Dawn of the Dead" remake, the "Miami Vice" movie, there are tons. Are you looking for a particular model of shotgun in a film Terry?

Thanks again.
How the hell did you dig out this type of web sites!
It seems that there is a database for everything these days. If you are wondering about something (what kind of gun did that guy use in the movie?), thousands of other people are wondering the same thing - spread out as they may be. With the internet, it is easy to put together these things.
There was a great episode of "Tour of Duty" where Zeke returned to the A-Shau Valley (the Aw-$h!t valley in the parlance of the time); he had an Ithaca M-37 and the episode concluded with an incredible sequence set to the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower"...
Awesome! That is a wicked site. I'll spend many a night looking at that before bed.
Yah that sight is pretty nuts. You can search by movie, actor, gun, tv show, anime, video game. It's tough to not spend too much time there.
The Canadiangunnutz should put their collective firearms knowledge to use building up that sight.
