Your Favorite Movie Scenes

[84porsche]

Here are some of my favorite movie scenes. What are yours?

From Tombstone:

Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double.
[Billy Clanton draws a knife, and Doc Holliday takes out a second gun]
Doc Holliday: I have two guns, one for each of ya.

From Top Gun:

Stinger: They gave you your choice of duty son, anything, anywhere. Do you believe that ****? Where do you think you wanna go?
Maverick: I thought of being an instructor, sir.
Stinger: Top Gun?
Maverick: Yes, sir.
Stinger: God help us.

Goodfellas:

Ray Liotta and girlfriend leave car, go across street, through door, down stairs, through kitchen, into lounge and sit at a table. One continuous shot. Must of been a nightmare to stage and pull off but pure art.

[Z-man]

Some of my favorites:

The chase scene through the streets of San Fransicso in Bullitt. No words are necessary. (Love the part where the bad guy buckles up!)

In The Last of the Mohicans two scenes:
1. When Daniel Day Lewis, his Indian father and brother are tracking Magwa to rescue their loved ones. The look of determination on their faces as they are running up the rocks on the side of the river is fantastic. (The scene just after the "I will FIND YOU" scene underneath the waterfall)
2. The fight scene between Magwa and Daniel Day Lewis' Indian father.

The scene in The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King when everyone bows down before Frodo:

Aragorn
My friends, you bow to no one.

There's more...
-Z.

in a very obscure flick called "country man" about a rastaman in jamaica who harbors in the jungle a couple that has crashed in a plane. there is an election going on and the incumbent needs an issue to get out the vote & says the plane was carrying no gooders looking to soil the election, well anyway two scenes in particular-

one being the chief of police is at a cockfight and his bird wins a very big payday and some of his boys want him to buy them a beer. he screams, in a heavy jamacian accent "AINT NOBODY GONNA BUY ME NO BEER WHEN MY BIRD LOSE!" meaning he was not buying because nobody ever buys him a beer when his bird is not victorious.

the second being when the "country man" goes to the police dept. in another town to tell the police about the dastardly efforts of the local politicans in his town the police guy say "MAAAAN! where's yu clothes? you cant be in here all naked" he was in a tarzan/countryman loin cloth affair and the copper did not dig that in his station.

anybody here ever seen country man? a bob marley sound track.

Star Trek circa: 1966 - Cut to scene of Captian Kirk in his cabin with Lt. Uhura after the ships Christmas party. Kirk turns to her and is about to kiss her and she says: "Aren't you going to tell me you love me??!!".......Kirk replies: "What and lie to you?".

Then he manhandles her passionately and the camera cuts away!!

Also like the scene where Ray explains how he would get caught because losers fall asleep in the getaway car.

Then anything from the Terminator is a classic.

Hope nobody mentions City Slickers.

I agree with Z-man. So many unspoken scenes from Last of the Mohicans, the most visually poetic action movie I've seen.

But favorite line is the last line from the western The Professionals, 1966, (written by Richard Brooks). Lee Marvin has just done the right thing, foiling tycoon Ralph Bellamy's plan to kidnap his "wife" from her true love.

Ralph Bellamy snarls: "You son of a *****!"

Lee Marvin swings onto his horse and looks down calmly at Bellamy:

"Yes. In my case, an accident of birth. But you, sir, you're a self-made man."

End of movie.

The scene in Gladiator in which Crowe is in the Coliseum, and has just unmasked himself to the somewhat illegitimately crowned emperor:

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of
the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions,
loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.
Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife.
And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

Here's a still from my favourite scene:

[jstgermaine]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off:

CAMERON
(grim monotone)
1958 Ferrari 250 GTS California. Less
than a hundred were made. It has a
market value of $265,000. My father
spent three years restoring it. It
is joy, it is his love, it is his
passion.

FERRIS
It is his fault he didn't lock the
garage.

CAMERON
Ferris, my father loves this car more
than life itself. We can't take is out.

FERRIS
A man with priorities so far out of
whack doesn't deserve such a fine
automobile.

CAMERON
He never drives it, Ferris. He just
rubs it with a diaper.

True Grit: John Wayne, addressing the bad guys accross a high mountain meadow, unlimbering his Peacemaker and carbine: "Fill your hands, you son-of-a-*****!", as he spurs his pony and grabs the reigns in his mouth.

High Plains Drifter: Billy Barty to Clint Eastwood, as Billy pulls up next to him on a barstool: "What'd you say your name was?" Reply: "I didn't".

Treasure of the Sierra Madre:

Bogart. "Wheres your badges"
Bandit...."We don't need no stinkin badges."

The Good Bad and the Ugly:
