Great Movie Scenes
In a western bar, words have been exchanged, the tension is palpable. Will there be gunplay?
A young gunfighter pulls his revolver, spins it on his finger. Forward, backward, he turns his wrist upward and then sideways, the gun continues to spin like a top. The camera pans the faces of the onlookers. Some of the Cowboys smile with admiration and perhaps anticipation (?) of a gunfight. With a final flourish, he holsters the piece. The onlookers - wait … A mildly amused, weary and ( semi-drunk) Dr. takes his …coffee cup and begins to mimic the man’s actions. The cup spins and twirls about his finger, wrist turning, the cup stopping-starting; the camera pans the faces yet again, now even some of the Cowboys begin to feel the tension lift ...till he finally places it down with a bang on the table. Val Kilmer - Michael Biehn - Powers Booth - Kurt Russell - Sam Elliot Tombstone Kudos to whomever wrote/scripted/directed that scene. *You got any favorites?

The end of "Unforgiven"
Just before Clint Eastwood (Bill Munny) shoots Gene Hackman (Little Bill Daggett) in the face. Clint says to Gene >>> "Deserves got nothing to do with it".

A Great scene has to have language to make it immortal.
