Youtube link to the LA Confidential fightout scene? I can't really judge between them on short notice.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier
LA Confidential had a cool shootout scene. Two policemen, one with a revolver pistol and the other with a shotgun, fighting their way out of an ambush at a clapboard motel. At one point, the shotgunner bashes in some floorboards and crawls underneath the floor to shoot out the legs of their assailants outside, and the pistoleer inside takes advantage of their discomfiture by shooting them in the chests through windows.
That movie was really good but it was hard to catch all the plot twists and developments the first viewing through. I had to watch it a few more times in order to keep things straight.

Great shootouts:
Unforgiven - Munny & Little Bill
Best shootout ever is near the end of Unforgiven between the sheriff and his crew and Clint Eastwood. Afterwards, the writer asked how Eastwood decided the order for shooting his opponents and he says "Just lucky, I guess."

The Man with No Name: "I don't think that's very funny, you laughin'. Y'see, my mule gets the crazy idea that you're laughin' at him. Now...if you apologize to him, like I know you're going to...."
Cowboys laugh.
