Hey up

Very bored at work so figured I'd see what everyone's favourite scenes are from films.

Mine is the Hopper/Walken scene in True Romance

Although, a very close second is the tango scene in Scent of a Woman. Anyone else think that film is the dogs boll£^%s?

Ste

The scene in Fridady the 13th Part 2 where the guy in the wheel chair gets the dull side of a machete slammed into his face, and then he falls down a flight of staires! Classic! Also props to Friday the 13th Part 7, where Jason kills the girl in the sleeping bag by smashing her against a tree.

I would have to say the scene from Goodfellas when they enter the night club through the kitchen entrance. That's one of the greatest shots in cinema history.

Hey,

Off the top of my head, the last scene of Pulp Fiction.

Maybe the Mexican standoff in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Quoted from Pants I would have to say the scene from Goodfellas when they enter the night club through the kitchen entrance. That's one of the greatest shots in cinema history.

Better then Russian Ark or this one?



It's from a movie called The Protector. It's hilarious if you haven't seen it. Don't fuck with a man and his elephant. lol

Oh, wait. I just remembered Old Boy too.



Sorry I couldn't find a better video.

Favorite scene? I could name a million of them: the beach scene from Apocalypse Now, Al Pacino's inches speech in Any Given Sunday, Goodfellas, Raging Bull and Taxi Driver had a swag of great scenes in them, as did One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest.

Here's one of favorite scenes from The Rules of Attraction

A little long, but great nonetheless.

There hundreds of awesome horror/cult movie scenes I could mention but most of you have probably already seen/heard of them so I'll throw in something different for the sake of variety. I always loved that scene in the Jackson Pollack bio where Ed Harris is on the bike with a case of beer, decides to crack one open on the spot, and ends up falling off the bike (and off the wagon, haha).

Quoted from James McClung ..where Ed Harris is on the bike with a case of beer, decides to crack one open on the spot, and ends up falling off the bike (and off the wagon, haha).

Hahahaha...I remember that scene.  When I saw "Ed Harris", I thought you were going to go the Creepshow route.  I offer these two gems.  The first clip is actually included in the second one, but I think it deserves to be isolated.

Two musical ones from me...

Magnolia - when everyone sings Aimee Mann's "Wise Up'. Genius...






Can I cheat a little bit and put my favorite scene from a TV show?

This is the finale of Season 2 of the West Wing and every time I watch it I get goosebumps. I am not a big fan of Dire Straights but this song will always remind me of these scene whenever I hear it.

It's from The Host a great Korean monster flick. 7 minutes of goodness.

The fight scene from The Quiet Man is probably the best fight scene in movie history




And then there's every scene that Alan Rickman was in, in the movie Dogma




The pie fight from Schindler's List was good, too, but I don't have a video for it.


Phil

The final confrontation between Noah Cross (John Houston) & Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) in Chinatown. Gittes still thinks he's got everything figured out, but still doesn't understand anything. When he asks Cross why he's done what he's done " what can you buy that you don't already have?"  Cross: "The future, Mr.Gittes, The Future". Sheer brilliance in writing.

Or from Jaws - the first shark encounter with Brody, Hooper and Quint on the Orca, the "you're gonna need a bigger boat" scene. 5 minutes of great suspense and action as the shark circles the boat and the frenzied activity as they try to rig a barrel in time...everything came together in that scene; suspense, humor, adventure - it's the high point of the movie for me still.

Or, from Brian DePalma' masterpiece "Blow Out", the final few minutes - with Travolta hearing Sally and Burke over the microphone and he searches the crowds frantically for her, then his last desperate run to save her...in that slow motion run we see that Jack has failed to learn from the past so he's repeating it...he's as doomed as can be and the rest of the film plays out in a lovely tragic irony. Too much irony for some, but it was a terrific ending for a cynical film, and marked the last time that Travolta would really play a grown up, adult, flawed character.

Try and say this isn't the best scene ever...


And this is why Pacino is a genius!

Shelton that Ed Harris one is class!

Clearly the best scene in the Blues Brothers is this though...

Quoted from stebrown Shelton that Ed Harris one is class! Clearly the best scene in the Blues Brothers is this though...

Hahaha...that's more of a line than a scene, but I will admit to having ordered three "orange whips" on numerous occasions.

A little part from "There Will Be Blood".  In my opinion, this blows the "milkshake" scene out of the water.
