Wait, I mean, something seems to get in my eye everytime...:cry: Love that movie. Originally posted by T.E.G. Harrison "I am too sick to do the scripted scene here" Ford pulling out his revolver and killing the crazed swordsmen in Raiders of the Lost Ark. That was the 1st that came to my mind. Originally posted by redman Hard to beat the D-Day scene in Private Ryan. It gave me chills thinking of those men who were there for real. I think the same thing - what would I have done were I there? I cannot fathom. Remember this on Memorial day.....thank those you know, work with or see that are Veterans......don't care if you agree or disagree w/ them - Thank them for their service to our country. Originally posted by seanskins Shawshanke Redemption The scene where Andy Dufregne (Tim Robbins) risks his life and tells the guard about his financial services just to get him and his prison buddies a few beers on a hot summers day. That has always been one of my fave movies, and that scene gives me goosebumps all the time. Loved it....one of my all time faves So in summation - I have nothing to add.

Westbrook36 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 I love the scene in the movie "Sleepers" where the kids from the detention center are all grown up (and now street thugs) and see their old prison guard (Kevin Bacon) who used to torment them and sexually abuse them. They sit down calmly and start a conversation with him. After a few minutes, they identify who they are and how they know him. He says, "Ok, so what do you want?' Then one of them says very calmly, "What I have always wanted......to watch you die." Then the other thug and him carve Bacon's torse with about 15 bullets until he is left for dead.

BG Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Shawshank would be mine too. I think it would have to be the end where Morgan Freeman is walking on the white sanded beach and sees Andy in the distance. They are free and have TONS of cash at their disposal. Such a great end to what was a rather dreary and sad emotional roller coaster of a movie. It is one of my all time favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenaa Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Braver heart when Gibson is strapped to the torture table in the end and chooses to be gutted. " Freeeeeedddooommmm!!!!!!!" Also Princes Bride rocks. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Then the 6 finger dude turns and runs away. Nothing like the climax of a lifetime of pent up agression and lust for revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chief Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Brave Heart Sons of Scotland, I am William Wallace. William Wallace is 7 feet tall. Yes, I've heard. He kills men by the hundreds, and if he were Here he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse. I am William Wallace, and I see a whole army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight? Fight against that? No, we will run, and we will live. Aye, fight and you may die, run and you'll live. At least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom?! Alba gu bra! (Scotland forever!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Opening scene from Once Upon a Time in the West. Three tough guys, led by Jack Elam, are waiting for a train. After about 10 minutes of really slow credits, the train arrives. Tough guys spread out on the platform, loosen up their guns, get ready. Nobody gets off the train. After a while, the train pulls away. Tough guys regroup, and walk away. Music begins playing. Tough guys freeze, turn around. Train pulls away to reveal Charles Bronson, with a harmonica in his mouth. (He got off the train on the other side.) Bronson: "Frank?" Elam: "Frank sent us." Bronson looks at the hitching rail, where three horses wait. "You bring a horse for me?" "Looks like . . . Looks like we're shy one horse." Bronson shakes his head: "You brought two too many." ----- Space Shuttle Orion docking with Space Station One in 2001. (I'm also partial to Scotty taking Kirk on a tour of Enterprise in Star Trek TMP.) "Michael's Gift" in Brainstorm. ----- Unforgiven: "I've killed women and children. I've killed just about every thing in this world that ever crawled on this Earth. And now I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned." ----- Glad to see The Princess Bride, but you didn't pick the swordfight scene? ----- E. T.'s goodbye. ----- Edit: Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford in The Fugitive: "I didn't kill my wife." "I don't care." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinthePRF Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Being the Sci Fi fan that I am, from my two favorite movies of all time*SPOILERS*: -In The Abyss when Lindsey Brigman(Mary Mastrantonio) realizes her husband is out of air and to far away to make it back to safety and is pleading with him to return even though he already knew it was a one way trip. Quote: "You brought me back from that darkness now don't leave me here all alone...." -In Contact when Ellie Arroway(Jodi Foster) receives the revelation there is a second transport and she is the guest of honor.

Zen-like Todd Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Plenty of good scenes mentioned (Princess Bride, Shawshank, Schindlers, etc). Amazed that no one has mentioned the last scene of The Usual Suspects, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Wilks profanity laden tirade at the end of Misery. (The only time I ever heard an audience "gasp" at a swear word. Amazing!)

Waldo da Magnificent Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 An old reel short - Bambi v. Godzilla. My father rented it on my sayso, cued it up, and was furious as me and my youngest brother are rolling on the floor. LoTR:RoTK - Sam's speech and picking Frodo up and carrying him up the mountain. That just gets me everytime. Bad Santa, when Billy Bob downs the bottle of gin[?] and the camera follows him down as he passes out on the floor.
