View Full Version : Your favorite moments in film.
What're some of them?
For me:
1. The beginning battle of Saving Private Ryan, which I consider to be the most epic twenty minutes in film. Period. I also love the bit in the final battle where I think it was Upham who kills the German they had earlier set free.
*
2. The opening of Super Troopers.
"I'm freaking out, man."
"You are freaking out ... man."
*
3. The scene in Contact where the scientists first catch wind of the extraterrestrial transmission. Also, where Jodie Foster meets the extraterrestrial which took the form of her father.
Admittedly, the latter scene was much better in the book.
*
4. In Half Baked where the guys are arguing about spending the drug money.
(Jim Breuer) You said you gave Mary Jane a pearl necklace, how much did that cost?
(Dave Chappelle) Obviously you missed the point of that story, Brian.
*
5. The ending of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
(The Professor) "What were you all doing in the wardrobe?
(Peter) "You wouldn't believe us if we told you, sir."
(The Professor, smiling) "Try me."
*
6. Enemy at the Gates. The scene at the fountain. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NetrA56gx8)
Admittedly EatG is probably my favorite movie period.
*
7. The Clerks scene involving a discussion about 37 dicks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpQqH4H_SUQ)
*
8. Riot control test #2 in the second Jackass movie.
"We're here with Daniel Alvarez from ALS technologies, and, uh, why don't you explain what this is and what we're gonna be doing?"
"This is the 460 stingmore mine. It has approximately 700 .45 caliber rubber balls in it. They'll fly out of there at about five hundred feet per second. They use these charges on the outside of embassies to protect the gates from people trying to break in."
"Looks like it's gonna suck."
"It is, I promise."

9. President Thomas Whitmore's speech in Independence Day. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkD0Q7CU1Po)
I quite enjoyed both aerial battles in this film as well.

In the first part of drugstore cowboy when matt dillon describes the "opiate experience". In my opinion the most accurate description of an opiate/opioid experience.
In Shawshank Redemption, pretty much the whole movie but every moment after Red gets released is such a great payoff.
In the documentaey Super High Me, when the DEA is busting a medical marijuana dispensary and some random protester screams "Go bust a meth lab you pussies!"
In Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, during and argument with jean gerade (or however you spell it) Ricky Bobby says: "to quote the late great Colonel Sanders: 'I'm too drunk to taste this chicken.'"
The whole flash back scene in reservoir dogs when Mr. Orange rehearses the story about selling weed during a drought.
And plenty more I can't think of now.
In Shawshank Redemption, pretty much the whole movie but every moment after Red gets released is such a great payoff.
Heck yes! I was going to add something from this but couldn't think of anything that superbly stood out. It's just such a great movie overall.

yeah his speech in his last parole hearing and andy's escape was pretty awesome.
anyway, mine would be
-the chariot-stadium scene in ben hur
-when mufasa dies in the lion king
-scarface's last stand
-in braveheart, where the scottish guys stick their asses out
-raiders of the lost ark, the famous sword vs gun scene
-in the last crusade, with indy's tests to get into the inner chamber
-when darth vader saves luke from palpatine
-maria's speech at the end of west side story.
-last bit in red dawn
though my favorite scene is actually from the battlestar galactica series, one episode where starbuck collides her ship into apollo's and steers it into the flight deck. that was pretty awesome

Groundhog Day: 1. Phil Connors' defenestration; 2. Phil Connors' failed attempt to resuscitate the old bum; 3. Phil Connors night spent with Rita, in which his change of heart is complete.
On Caddyshack when Bill Murray is talking to the Plastic explosives.
On American Beauty when Kevin Spacey is talking about his new car or when He goes to the Fast food place and gets a job there.
On Anchorman when He has the obvious boner.

A few of my faves:
The bums get drunk and trash the house during their Last Supper in Viridiana.
Spider monkeys overtake the sinking raft in Aguirre, the Wrath of God. "I, the wrath of God, will marry my own daughter and with her I'll found the purest dynasty the earth has ever seen."
Michelle Reis masturbates, then breaks down crying in Fallen Angels.
Woman stares into a cup of coffee and sees the Milky Way in 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her.
Dude rails coke out of a crucifix pendant in the back of a limo while pumping his fists to a ridiculous techno song in Black Cat, White Cat.
Bob Dylan talks to a British science student in Don't Look Back.
A sleeping woman fellates a gun before getting her head blown off in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
Werner Herzog drinks cough syrup from a shoe in Julien Donkey-Boy.
Crazy bitch eats her own afterbirth in The Brood.
An insane Roman Polanski in full drag, in The Tenant, looks into a mirror and says, "I think I'm pregnant."
Divine at the climax of Female Trouble: "I framed Leslie Bacon! I called the Heroin Hotline on Abby Hoffman! I bought the gun that Bremmer used to shoot Wallace! I had an affair with Juan Corona! I blew Richard Speck! And I'm so fucking beautiful I can't stand it myself!"
The two girls smoke cigarettes on the railroad tracks at the end of Days of Heaven.
A stunned David Bowie describes the Black Lodge then suddenly disappears in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
A sleeping woman fellates a gun before getting her head blown off in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male, and the other two, well the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there... and furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes... reefers.
:eek:
Hot Shots 2, where Charlie Sheen kills a man by bow-and-arrowing a chicken into his chest.

Charlton Heston lying on the surf and cursing humanity at the end of the original Planet of the Apes.
Also, many of the scenes and jokes from Life of Brian are absolute gold as well.

Charlton Heston lying on the surf and cursing humanity at the end of the original Planet of the Apes; need I say more?
Also, many of the scenes and jokes from Life of Brian are absolute gold as well.
Mallrats: when he's ranting about escalators.
Go!: When he thinks he can hear the cats thoughts.
A Scanner Darkly: The whole thing about leaving a note on the door to let them selves in. Also when they thought they were ripped off when it came to the gears on their bike.
Little Miss Sunshine: When the brother finds out he's colour blind.
Fearless: When he starts to put his violent past behind him, and he's in the field just taking in the gentle breeze.
The Last Samurai: When Katsumoto asks "What happened to the warriors at Thermopylae?" - "Dead to the last man", then they know they're about to run to their deaths. Also when all the soldiers stop firing at the end, and the general tells them to keep shooting yet they stop.
These the only ones I can think of from my pc movie list. Can't think of the significant ones at the moment.

Superbad: The scene about drawing Dicks and most of the McLovin scenes.
Rocky: The end of the first one when he shouts "Adrian". Also the last movie when he's waving to the crowd thinking "I'm never gonna be here ever again".

The only one that immediately come to my mind is the final scene from:
There Will Be Blood. I love that movie, that last scene is so epic.
"I'm finished!"
My new favorite is the pullout scene in Zach and Miri Make a Porno. It just fucking jumps up out of nowhere.
Red's 'Hope is a good thing' speech in Shawshank Redemption.
Opening scene from Saving Private Ryan.
First scene in 28 Days Later.
"My name is very fucking confused, what is yours?" from Saw.
Bravehearts freedom speech.
"Oh man I just shot Marvin in the face" from Pulp Fiction.
The meow scene in Super Troopers.
Tom Green's "I'm a sexy boy, ding dong!" in Freddy Got Fingered.
God smoking and drinking Guiness in The Acid House.
Coco's trip in The Acid House.
All the Scrat scenes in the Ice Age films :D
The final scene in Purely Belter.
The scene in Chopper where he gets stabbed then calmly asks 'what you doing?'
The opening scene of Sin City, great dialogue.
Planet Terror, lots of great moments.
Dazed and Confused, most of the film but particulairly the beer bust and the opening scene.
In Girl, Interrupted when Lisa grabs Susanna with the intention of escaping but because of the electroshock therapy she is calls her by another name, leaving Susanna stood there 'but my names Susanna', my heart misses a beat everytime I see it.
That is all I can think of.

“Say what again. SAY WHAT AGAIN! I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU MOTHERFUCKER SAY WHAT AGAIN!” - Samuel L. Jackson, Pulp Fiction
Used to be great, but it's been done to death now.
Although I will admit I still say it now and again :rolleyes:
I much prefer the "oh man I just shot Marvin in the face" line.
