Title: what are your favorite scenes in movies?
Post by: Aske on May 11, 2007, 07:40:12 AM
not necessarily your favorite movies themselves...  maybe it's a scene that simply makes a bad movie watchable,  or something when you channel surf around you stay on that movie until the scene plays out ...

End of The Usual Suspects starting with Kujan leaning back on the desk and looking at the board through "Just like that, he's gone."

The Godfather christening scene when Michael becomes Don Corleone.

A dozen bits of Pulp Fiction.

Two dozen bits of Guy Ritchie's movies.

edit:  Almost forgot, the pellet gun scene of Trainspotting.  Brilliant.

One of my all time favorites is the scene in Reservoir Dogs where Tim Roth is telling the story where he carries a case of weed into a mens room with two cops and a dog.

"Buddy, I'm gonna shoot you in the face..."

I'll post more when I have time.

The fight scene with Deckard and the replicant Roy Batty in Bladerunner, when Batty finally "dies".

"Phone home"...need I say more?

In 1982 when John Holmes showed us you could slap people with it...need I say more?

Love that one too and the opening scene in the diner around the table.  

Pulp Fiction:  The sceene with Jules and Vincent in the diner.  The scene when the go to the apartment and the scene with Vincent and Mia going out to dinner.  

The Big Lebowski:  Any time the dude, Walter and Donny are together in the movie.

Touch of Evil:  The continuous opening shot is amazing.

Blue Velvet:  when she sings the song and when they walk into that crazy bar.

What about Bob:  When Bob comes to their vacation home.

All I can think of for now.

[President Carter on TV]
President Carter: -high inflation. What is the solution?
[TV cuts to commercial for Luke's yard taking place in Roy's yard]
Jeff: You want the solution to inflation? Hi, friends. Marshal Lucky here for New Deal Used Cars, where we're lowering inflation not only by fighting high prices, not only by murdering high prices, but by blowing the living *feces* out of high prices. Yessir. Here's an example. It's a 1972 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, for sixty-two ninety-nine. That price is too high.
[shoots car]
Jeff: Yessir. Here's another one. It's a Lincoln Continental, Mark IV, 1973. It's loaded. It's got air conditioning. It's got a stereo. It's got white-wall radial tires. It's got power steering, power brakes, power seats, power windows. And a price that is just too high.
[shoots car]
Jeff: Yessir.
[Jim appears on car behind him in costume]
Jim: YAAAAAAHHHH.
Freddie: [on microphone] Look out, Marshal Lucky. It's High Prices.
Jeff: Take this, you dirty ol' High Prices.
["shoots" Jim, who puts on a very convincing act]
Jim: AHHHH. Ya got me Marshall. Ahhhhh...
Jeff: [shocked] Jesus Christ.
[winks at screen]
Jeff: Yessir, that's New Deal Used Cars... Now wait just a Goddamn minute. What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too *goshdarn* high.
[blows up car with dynamite. Roy watches at home]
Roy: You sonova bitch.
Jeff: [laughs] Yessir. We blew the *feces* out of that over-priced mother*fudge*er just the way we blow the *feces* out of *all* high prices, down here at New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said? New Deal Used Cars. So y'all come on down. Did you hear what I said?
[TV cuts back to President]
President Carter: I have heard you, with unmistakable clarity...
Roy: You sonova bitch.
[kicks TV and electrocutes himself]

The first ones that come to my mind are:

1) The end of the training scenes as well as the fight at the end of Rocky.

2) The baseball game at the end of Naked Gun.

Just finished watching 'Casablanca'.

Ingrid Bergman is incredible, in every sense of the word...

- The caveman scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

- I agree about the final fight scene in Blade Runner

- The battle at Helm’s Deep in LotR: the Two Towers

- Casablanca has so many great scenes, here are a few of my favourites:

In Rick’s Place, the Dueling National Anthems scene.

In Rick’s Place:
Captain Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Captain Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.
Rick: I was misinformed.

At the airport:
Captain Renault: Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects. Followed soon thereafter by:  Rick: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Casablanca does have some great lines.  Most of them are Claude Rains (Renault) who gives an over the top performance that borders on campy, which is what makes Bergman's understated performance devastatingly effective. Of course, the fact that she's devastatingly beautiful adds to it.


Rick: And remember, this gun is pointed right at your heart.
Captain Renault: That is my least vulnerable spot.


Rick: Why did you come back? To tell me why you ran out on me at the railway station?
Ilsa: ...Yes.
Rick: Well, you can tell me now. I'm reasonably sober

Other than 'Young Frankenstein's' "werewolf?-there wolf", yours is the best.

When Josey Wales encounters Ten Bears.
Other than 'Young Frankenstein's' "werewolf?-there wolf", yours is the best.
Josey: You be Ten Bears?
Ten Bears: I am Ten Bears.
Josey: (spits tobacco) I'm Josey Wales.
Ten Bears: I have heard. You're the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace.
Josey: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.
Ten Bears: Then you will die.
Josey: I came here to die with you. Or live with you. Dying ain't so hard for men like you and me, it's living that's hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don't live together, people live together. With governments you don't always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I've come here to give you either one, or get either one from you. I came here like this so you'll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we'll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, he can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That's my word of life.
Ten Bears: And your word of death?
Josey: It's here in my pistols, there in your rifles. I'm here for either one.
Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey: That's true. I ain't promising you nothing extra. I'm just giving you life and you're giving me life. And I'm saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double-tongues. There is iron in your word of death for all Comanche to see. And so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron, it must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life.
(he takes his knife and cuts his hand. Josey does the same and they grasp each others hand.)
So shall it be.

Dirty Harry sidewalk scene......You've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

Pick any of a couple of dozen scenes from Blazing Saddles......Candygram for Mongo! Candygram for Mongo!

Omaha Beach landing scene from Saving Private Ryan... and the scene where they are waiting for the Germans while listening to Édith Piaf.

From Bridge on the River Kwai... Colonel Saito's address to the prisoners and Jack Hawkins asking William Holden to return to the camp.
