I love it when Grant first sees the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

I love it when Indiana Jones finds the Well of Souls in the maproom in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I love when we find out the truth about Kaiser Soze.

I love it when Hannibal Lechter tears Clarice apart from behind the glass in Silence of the Lambs.

And I just watched The Sea Inside which was pretty much one fantastic scene after another.

There are so many. Why did you have to this?

Last of the Mohicans.

Rumor Has It. Ok, so it was one of the slowest movies I've ever seen in my life (the type of movie that would make me very upset if I had to pay for my own movie tickets). In fact, it was so bad, that we were almost going to walk out.

But, for whatever reason, we stayed and it was all worth it when the main character (Jennifer Aniston...whoever she played) and her the person that played her sister were sitting on the bed talking to eachother.

Jennifer: Well at least you didn't sleep with someone who slept with mom and grandma...
Sister: Oh my god, you slept with Dad? Dad slept with Grandma?

"I've got a forty-five and a shovel, and I'm not afraid to use them." (Admonition from a girl's father to the boy taking her out on a date). From the movie Clueless.

I coincidentally just watched another favorite: the sword fight between the Man in Black and Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.

LA Confidential. The shoot-out at the old Motel.

Gettysburg. At the end of the third day, when Lawrence and Tom find each other on the battlefield.

Moulin Rouge. The "Roxanne" sequence. Gives me the chills.

Seven. John Doe walks into the police station, covered in blood.

Leathal Weapon 2. The house on stilts comes crashing down.

The ending scene from The Bridge on the River Kwai when Alec Guinness discovers that the British commandos are about to blow up the magnificent bridge he built for the Japanese, out of stubborn pride, and asks himself, "What have I done?"

caw.

Pulp Fiction, the part where vincent and jules enter the three or four guys apartment to get the case back, and that whole convo that takes place

Bull Durham-

*Pitcher Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh is throwing the best game of his professional career. Just as things are going well, he starts to shake off the signs from his catcher "Crash" Davis.

Crash- Can you believe this, the son of a ***** is throwing a two-hit shutout and he's shaking me off. Charlie, here comes the deuce....and when you speak of me, speak well.

*The opposing player hits a homerun off of the bull in right field, causing the bull to begin lighting up and making noises. Crash walks out to the mound where "Nuke" LaLoosh is standing, mouth agape.*

Crash-He sure knocked the **** out of that one, look at that, he hit the ****ing bull, the guy gets a free steak.

Nuke- I don't get it, the guy teed off on that like he knew I was going to throw a curve ball.

Crash- He did know.

Nuke- How?

Crash - I told him.

Crash walks back to the plate with a disgusted look on his face.

CurtisCandy · Apr 23, 2006

Nice one, One Team...

For some reason, I also like the quick scene in that movie where the bat boy brings Crash the pine tar rag.

Bat Boy: (innocent enthusiasm) Get a hit, Crash!

Crash: Shut up!

The way it's delivered is priceless!

"No, Meester Bond. I expect you to die."

I have to say it because I'm a hopeless romantic and a woman:

The end of An Affair To Remember when Cary Grant walks into Deborah Kerr's room and realizes the reason she didn't meet him at the top of the Empire State Building is because she's crippled. *sniffle*

Also, Any scene in a movie where Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire dances.

I have more, tons more

AdamH · Apr 23, 2006

Shawshank Redemption - Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) on his knees in a ditch staring up at the night sky arms outspread after he escaped Shawshank Prison.

Contact - When Jody Foster's character gets a call from that rich guy in orbit to tell her that there's another alien machine built and he looks into the camera and says, "Wanna take a ride?"

Saving Private Ryan - The whole opening sequence when they land on the shores of Normandy.

Just to name a few.

poetinahat · Apr 23, 2006

Oh, yeah - the scene in Godfather (I or II?) where the christening plays out simultaneously with the five hits.

alleycat · Apr 23, 2006

THE NATURAL

When Hobbs, the character played by Redford, breaks the bat he calls Wonder Boy and the batboy lets him use his own bat, his own version of Wonder Boy. Hobbs then hits a homerun and lightning strikes.

The Green Mile. Just after they sneak John Coffey out of prison to heal the warden's wife, John picks up a handful of leaves and smells them. Then he lets Paul and Brutal smell them. They walk through the woods, surrounded by fireflies.

Believe that's the very ending of I.

"Excellent day for a exorcism, Father."

"You'd like that?"

"Intensely."

I could point out every single scene in Wonder Boys, but here are two of my favorites:

FIRST SCENE: James just killed the dog. They are discussing the repercusions.

JAMES LEER: What are we going to do with...

(James glances in the backseat, where Poe lies, strange blue eyes gleaming.)

GRADY: I don't know. I'm still trying to figure out how to tell the Chancellor I murdered her husband's dog.

JAMES LEER: You?

GRADY: Trust me, James, when the family pet's been assassinated, the owner doesn't want to hear one of her students was the triggerman.

JAMES LEER: Does she want to hear it was one of her professors?

GRADY: I've got tenure.

SECOND SCENE: This is almost the next scene. They return to the trunk for a little pick me up.

JAMES LEER: He's still a little warm.

(They lay him down, push him deep into the trunk--until there is a SOUND like a pencil SNAPPING.)

JAMES LEER: Yuck.

(GRADY grabs Crabtree's garment bag, frisks the pockets.)

JAMES LEER: That's a. big trunk. It fits a tuba, a suitcase, a dead dog, and a garment bag almost perfectly.

GRADY (searching) That's just what they used to say in the ads.

Errr...and I was going to say something about the Sound of Music...darn it! KTC beat me to the point.

Ol' Fashioned Girl · Apr 23, 2006

Oh. My. So many movies... so little time...

The Kiss in 'The Quiet Man'.

Every time they play 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes' in 'Always'.

John explaining why he'd just as soon go ahead and be electrocuted in 'Green Mile'.

Scarlet making her way through the train yard as the camera pulls back to show the Confederate flag.

Maximus' final battle in 'Gladiator'.

"We'll always have Paris."

Writing the requiem in the last scenes of 'Amadeus'.

The final sword fight in 'Rob Roy'.

Almost any scene from 'Lord of the Rings'.

All scenes from 'The Lion in Winter' - the original, not the remake.

The Latin scene in 'Tombstone', between Doc and Ringo.
