I am not looking for your favorite movie knives that thread is already posted i am merely looking for the movies that really captivate a knife enthusiast
 
Seraphim falls. It's a newer western where Pierce Brosnan is handy with a bowie.
 
The Hunted - Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro - some of the best (albeit over-the-top) knife scenes in a movie. I enjoyed this movie, purely for the knives.
The Hunted - Christopher Lambert, John Lone, & Joan Chen (hubba hubba) - Ninja flick, one of the better ones out there.
Young Guns - Emilio Estevez, Lou Diamond Phillips, Kiefer Sutherland - Lou Diamond does a bit of knife play throughout the movie.
Under Siege - Steven Segal, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey. - Segal does some knife throwing in the Kitchen and knife fight with Jones near the end.
The Big Hit - Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips, Christina Applegate -- Lou Diamond plays with knives a bit.
Rambo - Sylvester Stallone, Brian Dennehy, Richard Crenna -- LOVED this movie growing up.
Rob Roy - Some of the best swordsmanship I've ever seen.
The Duellists - Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel - period piece dueling movie. Very well done, if a little boring in spots.
Hellboy II - some cool knife/sword/spear play. C'mon, the man splits a water droplet in half!

The Expendables. There are a lot of knives in good quality. The one with tanto blade from d.Ralph's workshop is awsome!
 
The Book of Eli has some of the coolest knife fighting scenes ever! Recommended for all the kukri lovers out there :D

Predator - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, Carl Weathers, Sonny Landham, Elpidia Carrillo, & Kevin Peter Hall as the Predator -- a favorite of mine for a long time, and lots of cool knives.
 
It's not a movie, per se, but the TV series "24" has a number of interesting knives. Unfortunately for the bad guys, the music score is often too loud for them to hear the sound of the automatic knife held by their hostages opening.

Actually, knives are more potentially dangerous to than firearms. They're something that many of the ancients carried all the time -- to cut food, to use as a tool, and to use for delf defense. They were quiet, strong and many were works of art. They could be as unique as the number of knifemakers and came in varying sizes, quality and styles.

In our day, it's a shame more people don't learn from movies that knives are a bit more formidable than hatpins, and it amazes me to see that some men don't even bother to carry them.

One of the movies that opened my eyes on the potential personal benefits of modern folders was the film Cliffhanger. Not long after that, I read an account of a man who fought and badly wounded a black bear who had attacked his girlfriend on a camping trip. He, on the other hand, only sustained minor injuries. (The bear was tracked down the next day and killed.) It was then that I began to look at folding knives in a different light. And when
I began carrying a light 4-inch Cold Steel Voyager, I found I was using it far more than I expected!

So films did influence me...and still do.

I don't usually like the hokey, unrealistic fight scenes in Hollyweird movies, but whoever the fencing coach was that got actor Tim Roth up to speed on the rapier deserves a huge thumbs up. Roth looked so smooth and natural with his sword, it added to the realisim of the final duel at the end of the movie.

The Hunted one of the best knife fighting movies I have seen in a long time. The people that trained the actors have been used to instruct the Delta teams.
 
Legends of the Fall isn't bad. Any movie that includes some nazis getting scalped gets a few points for coolness. Inglorious Basterds comes to mind as well.
