          Has anybody mentioned Leon? If not, I'd suggest that one.

                  Columbia Pictures Film Noir Classics
                  Volume 1 has a few you might like.
                  Murder by Contract
                  (1958) follows the life of a hitman with more than a few similarities to the Charles Bronson character in this film.
                  The Sniper
                  (1952) follows the life of a serial killer with the urge to pick off women from afar.
                  The Lineup
                  (1958) shows us a day in the life of a hit man and his psychopathic protege (Eli Wallach).
                  I agree with the recommendations of
                  Lon
                  and
                  Blast of Silence
                  .

                    I would also add in the French film Le Samourai. Personality wise, very similar to the Mechanic.

                      If you like comic books you might enjoy "The Killer" by Luc Jacamon. And for the record, "The Day of the Jackal" is in my opinion the best of the movies that follows around a contract killer (though a sizable amount of the film focuses on the police who are hunting him).

                        While not movie, that HBO special called The Iceman, was pretty engaging. I think its available on youtube. In some ways he was an excellent hitman as he was able to balance being a cold blooded killer while maintaining a seemingly normal family life. Something Bishop could not do.

                              In addition to the ones mentioned by others I might suggest Best Seller starring James Woods and Brian Dennehy. James Woods plays a pretty cold and ruthless hitman in that one and is very good in the role.


                              Au revoir, Shosanna.

                                This was the last great statement in 20th Century Hong Kong Cinema's Female Assassin subgenre. It's philosophically deep, said philosophy being Confucianism. The story is also firmly rooted in it's contemporary political setting of 1996 and the anxiety over the imminent handover of Hong Kong to the Maiinland Communists.
                                This movie also probably holds the non-Woo squibs record.

                                  If you are at all partial to film noir, I would suggest This Gun for Hire (1942). It's a great movie.
