Great Movie Scenes - An appreciation

[SABRE]

If you want to scare a 'kilo of brown' out of a radio announcer, ring up and say....
...."Play Misty For Me"

'Field Of Dreams' still gets under my skin. Every scene has a magical line.
Remember these.....

What do you call the male version of a 'Chick's Flick' ?

Scarily, lol, that's fairly apt

How about Team America and the puppet sex scene and Kim Jong-il's song

LMAO, I prefer the gratuitous vomit scene - "Ya gave up on life, ya bum!"

Saving Private Ryan at the end when the Mustangs fly over the battle scene

Roger beat me to The Great Escape's motorbike chase scene, but the murder of the 50 escapees is always poignant when Big X and the the other guy start reminiscing only to realise there's a machine gun aimed at them

Bruce Willis walking bare foot on the broken glass in Die Hard

The scene in Fight Club where the truth about Tyler Derton is revealed

The closing scene in Vertigo ... just when you think Jimmy Stewart's character is is finally at peace, she falls off the bell tower

The closing scene in Apollo 13 when they realise the astronauts are safe gets me every time

For western movie buffs, the scene at the start of Once Upon a Time in the West as Henry Fonda is revealed as the leader of villains after they murded the family, culminating in the cold blooded killing of the little boy. Also the opening scene when Charles Bronson faces off against the 3 guys sent to kill him.

But the scene that most affected me at the time of first watching it, and still does, is the scene in Last of the Mohicans when the young mohican is killed by "Magua" and then the younger sister jumps off the cliff instead of walking back to her captors. The music matches the scene perfectly.

Dunno that last one of yours JAS. Any links?

Hey CP, I think I've got a name for the blokes version of 'a chick's flick'.

How about Smell-U-Lloyd (from celluloid)

Great call, and great movie

It's been deleted off Youtube but I've found a clip...not sure I can post a link to full-on puppet sex...might have to ban myself so I'll mail it to you...then you can share with the Wildcats too
If you haven't watched Team America you should...funny as hell...also love the bit with Hans Blix from the UN...

War - Great Escape. Steve McQueen on the motorbike, and the repeat scene of him chucking his baseball against the cooler wall.

Teenage - Ferris Bueller's day off. Where to start? but love, 'Rooney, you're an a..hole'

I always wanted to be Steve McQueen 'The Cooler King'.
Great Escape - my all time fave film.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off took many years for me to truly appreciate but Mrs DW is an absolute fan, so we'd watch it at least three times a year. I was worn down.
The scene for me: probably in the restaurant. All of the innocence, yet guile of youth on display. Although the scene with Cameron and his dad's car also tells a pretty good story about disaffection.

Agreed, haven't watched it in at least a decade. Must revisit.

Another film: The Usual Suspects, when Verbal Kint leaves the detective's office. Right at the end.

Whilst giving a wrap for The Usual Suspects, I should make mention of one of the worst casting decisions ever - Pete Postlethwaite as an inscrutable Chinaman. A good actor but nowhere near convincing in this role.

That could spawn a whole new thread....I'd nominate Jack Lemon as a guard in Hamlet...bloody dreadful.

Made me laugh so much, while feeling really uncomfortable

[am Bays]

The Club: "He's been up his Mum and his legless sister and and he thinks he killed his old Man..." Ah Fatal you're in self imposed exile but you're not forgotten"

The Castle when Darryl says, "Its not a house its a home" "You can't buy memories"

[godoubleblues]

a couple of good aussie movies

The Dish - the scene when the American ambassador visits the town and a reception is put on for him including a band, the band break into what they think is the American National Anthem but it is the theme from Hawaii 5O

Two Hands - a couple of good scenes, during the bank robbery when the fella jumps the bank counter and trips and lands on his head, knocks himself out and when they are talking in the lounge room with one of the fellas wife and kids and the shotgun goes off

If you thought the scene from the movie was uncomfortable try searching for the uncut version they put out there on the interweb

The scene in Fight Club where the truth about Tyler Derton is revealed

yes, was about to post that myself.
also, the scene where Jack beats himself up & walks out with a PC, Annual Salary & 52 flight vouchers!

Bad Boy Bubby- "Pop" & Bubby's mother return from getting tanked, only to find Bubby has dressed as "Pop"- Bubby opens up with "You're a sexy women Flo..."

There a brazillion movie scenes I could list, so I'll derivate slightly into the realm of television.

Scrubs - Season 3, episode 14 - "My Screw up".

The final scene in which the twist is revealed as JD says to Dr Cox,"Where do you think we are?"


Gets me every time.
