Om Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Okay, two more, then I'm done. I can't afford to be blubbering here at work. Dead Poet's Society: 1) When they have to tell Todd (Ethan Hawke) that Neil (Robert Leonard) is dead ... and the boys walk out into the snow. Todd breaks down, runs off into the snow to the dock, alone, calling Neil's name ... 2) Final scene ... Todd becomes a man, stands on his desk. One by one, his classmates follow suit, despite what will surely be dire consequences. "Captain, my Captain." Who among us wouldn't kill, just once in our lifetimes, to inspire what Keating (R. Williams) did in those young men at that moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 My first thought was the first and last scenes in Saving Private Ryan. Has anyone mentioned the end of Rocky? "Adrian!" Seeing as alot of good ones have been mentioned already, I'll throw these out: from Deliverance: Ed: Look, what is it that you require of us? Mountain Man: What we, uh, "re-quire" is that you get your god-damn asses up in them woods. Mountain Man: Get up, boy. I bet you can squeal. I bet you can squeal like a pig. Mountain Man: Now let's you just drop them pants. Mountain Man: I'm gonna make you squeal like a pig. Weeeeeeee. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and along the same lines, from Pulp Fiction: Butch: You okay? Marsellus: Naw man. I'm pretty ****in' far from okay. Butch: What now? Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' ******s, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass. Butch: I meant what now between me and you? Marsellus: Oh, that what now. I tell you what now between me and you. There is no me and you. Not no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(All the emotional strain building up during that movie, those 2 lines wrecked me.) Awesome scenes, I forgot all about Gladiator, wow that movie has some GREAT scenes.

Cool Hand Loki Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Basically every scene in the source for my screen name, but the favorites: Luke: Ah, you know. Small town, ain't much to do in th'evenin'. and Dragline: Just like today, when he kept comin' back at me with nothin'. Luke: Yeah, well. Sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand. and Newman singing "Plastic Jesus." Curse it, now I've gotten started. The whole damn movie. In addition (some of these aren't scenes that are dramatically powerful, but in a lot of ways they take advantage of the cinematic form better than most): Enter the Dragon: Lee's fight with O'Hara. First time I'd ever seen anything like that. Not as impressive as some of the fight scenes later in the movie, but that's when I knew this guy was for real. I still don't think anyone in an action film has ever matched Lee's charisma or intensity. The Verdict: Galvin's speech at the film's close. Also when he slugs what's-her-face (totally unexpeced and strangely satisfying). Chinatown: "My sister, my daughter..." The Matrix Reloaded: Highway scene. Bullitt: Mustang chase. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: pretty much the whole thing. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid: "What're the rules?" The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly: Ecstasy of Gold scene The Wild Bunch: "Let's go." The Hustler: "When a man's good at something..." Spider Man 2: I thought this movie was much more powerful than most. The scene in the train especially got to me. Alright, I think that last entry proves that I've gone beyond the scope of the thread's intent...I'm quitting while I'm ahead here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB44 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Not sure if its the greatest, but the most memorable and disturbing scene was at the end of Seven. I don't want to give it away, but very memorable. Greatest though there are too many to name. - Patton's opening speech. - Roy Hobbs hitting the homerun (not the end one, but the one he hits in chicago after a terrible slump. - Final scene of the longest yard. - I'm your huckleberry scene in Tombstone I could go on...

Cool Hand Loki Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Originally posted by Om For sheer emotional release ... the reunion scene at the end of The Color Purple. Friggin' Spielberg. Knows just where to hit you. * For sheer otherworldliness (and being about 30 years ahead of it's time) ... the hotel suite scene at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The "feel" of that whole scene---from the moment Bowman and the pod finally come to rest in that sterile suite, to when he slowly reaches out to the monolith as the old man---with no score, no dialogue ... just his breathing and the crystal clarity of every mundane little sound ... just wow. To this day I've never seen a more powerfully and patiently filmed scene. It's been years, but I remember thinking, "What the F...?" Especially after that whole psychedelic traveling-thru-space/time scene. Care to give your interpretation of the final scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Better yet, Loki, I'll just refer you to Clarke's original novel. The book, unlike the movie, is clear and unambiguous about what happens to Bowman and what be becomes. Thus my "interpretation" would be pretty much exactly what Clarke wrote. I can't recommend this book highly enough ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 "Blood Simple",, so many good scenes it's hard to pick just one, but the discovery of the husband's nearly dead body and subsequent burial while still alive is harrowing.. If you haven't seen "Blood Simple" and like a good suspense flick,, i can't recommend it any higher. "L.A. Confidential" was another movie with some really great scenes,, when Kevin Spacey gets shot, i truly didn't see it coming, shocked the hell out of me, and the shootout at the end is excellent in it's use of light. "Blade Runner" the final showdown with Roy Batty up on the rooftops is awesome. "Raising Arizona"- the convenience store robbery. "Gimme all money in the till, and this here pack o' Huggies." and of course... "Boy,, you got a panty on your head." all while that fantastically ridiculous yodeling is going on ... it's classic. (The Coen Brothers are pure artists. I LOVE their dialogue.) And you have to love all the women wearing false beards at the stoning in "The Life of Brian". ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Re: 2001: I tend to think of the movie 2010 as "the movie that answers all the questions about 2001 that you would've already known, if you'd read the friggin book." I don't think I've ever met someone who could follow the film, without reading the book. (I really think the hotel room scene in the book was better, but even Kubrick couldn't have filmed the scene Clarke wrote.) If you've read Clarke's short story The Sentinal, which he used as the basis for the film and novel, it's really good too. And I'd also recommend 2010 for reading, although, as far as I'm concerned, the only really good part of 2063 was the teaser for the fourth book: The setting for "Epilog: 3001. Midnight at the plaza" if the plaza in front of the (now abandoned) United Nations building. I'd forgotten, but there were actually three monoliths. One dug up on the moon, one used in the opening scene of 2001 (and later found, by ahchaeologists on Earth), and one that was in orbit around Jupiter. The one from the Earth has been moved to stand in front of the UN building. It's midnight, and the sounds from the New Years party drifts over from Times Square. The sky overhead would seem strange, because the sun that was Jupiter is shining in the sky, and because of the orbital elevator, just barely visible in the southwest. And then, without any sound at all, the star that was Jupiter dims briefly, them brightens, and then goes out. Last line of the book 2063 is: "And for the second time in half a million years, the monolith awoke." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Loki Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Is it some sort of "Call of Cthulhu"-type deal? The monolith, I mean? Actually - I'm going to read it. No need to explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeydont Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Moses parting the Red Sea in the Ten Commandments- Wow. Butch and Sundance Are you kidding the Fall will kill you. The First we see the Alien full shot in 1979 original. The entire French Connection car chase/Subway scene. The Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein scene where the monster encounters the Blind man just too good. The chariot race scene in Ben Hur- Incredible. The Scene in the origianl Jaws where the Giant shark attacks the boat from the rear and robert shaw gets it. And of course the heavily edited crucifix scene in the Excorist. The Dumb and dumber toilet scene. The entire pearl harbor attack scene-unforgettable. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Originally posted by pez My favorite scene was from schindler's list. It was near the end of the movie, where he had "purchased/saved" all the jews, but schindler was saying (with tears in his eyes) that... this car could have bought x more... this ring could have bought x more, etc, etc... I don't remember the exact words of course, but it was an incredibly moving scene... Damn dude, you hurt me with that one... that scene gets my vote.
