Uttered by Sigourney Weaver perchance?

My favourite, and it's soooo beautiful, is in Brainstorm where Christopher Walken 'watches' a recording of what his colleague experienced when she was dying. What he found that she had seen while she died was simply breathtaking, even with special effects being what they were then!
 
Re: Fave Film scenes/moments/quotes.

I saw "Night at the museum"....
I loves this scene ---"when dinosaurs come to life and to get rid of him when ben stiller throws a bone on him and dinosaur runs after the stone like a dog to fetch it.. I like that one "when dinosaurs come to life and to get rid of him when ben stiller throws a bone on him and dinosaur runs after the bone like a dog to fetch it..

I heard the next part is releasing soon and i am really looking forward to watch it...
Trailor seems to be quite interesting!

Gotta admit, one of my favourite lines is from Dogma - the "no ticket" bit after Silent Bob throws Bartleby and Loki off the train. Perfectly pitched and timed, and I can't resist an Indiana Jones reference.:D

Quotes:
‘You (both) can kiss my hairy bean bag’ – Something about Mary
‘We’re gonna need a bigger boat’ – Jaws

Scenes:
Poltergeist
Ryan: Mr. Freeling, we'll record any psycho-tronic energy or event.

Dr. Lesh: Yes. Ryan photographed an extraordinary episode on a case in Redlands.

Ryan: That's right. It was a child's toy. A very small matchbox vehicle just rolled seven feet across a linoleum surface. The duration of the event was seven hours.

Steve: Seven hours for what?

Ryan: For the vehicle to complete the distance. Of course, this would never register on the naked eye. But I have it recorded on a time-lapse camera. It's fantastic.
When Steve opens the door to the children's bedroom, the space is swirling with psychotronic energy displayed with marvelous special effects - a lamp, lampshade, records, books, and toys are in mid-air circling around the beds. The base of a table lamp inserts itself into a lampshade and turns itself on. A book flutters its pages at them. A student's circle-drawing tool flies dangerously into Dr. Lesh's awe-struck face. A spinning record plays.:eek:

Spiderman
Battle with Doc Oc, where Mary Jane finds out Peter Parker is Spiderman. (I love films where the underdog comes good or a sad situation is corrected!):rolleyes:

Firefly
Episode where the Mudders start singing an Ode to Jayne, 'the hero of the county!' :p
 
Re: Fave Film scenes/moments/quotes.

The "I am you father" scene from the Empire Strikes back (in fact that Lightsabre duel will have to go down as my favourite.) I also really like the bit in Empire when the Millennium Falcon returned to cloud city by looping back over a cloud. (I know, a bit weird, but i thought it was visually stunning and the sound of the Falcon is superb.)

Blade Runner, the opening scene and Batty's "Time to Die" speech. (It doesn't get much more emotional than that.)

Aliens, The firefight beneath the reactor and the atomatic guns in the corridor. (The fact that we didn't see anything really added to the tension.)

The "you've got to be fu**ing kidding" scene from the Thing.

I like dat one from dark knight joker-Poor choice of words!!
 
Re: Fave Film scenes/moments/quotes.

I love the bit in Blade Runner when Roy and Deckard are on the roof.
Roy,played amazingly well by Rutger Hauer opines how he has 'seen things you wouldn't believe. I've seen attack ships destroyed on the shores of Orion...'
And then the iconic line
'these moments will soon be lost, like tears in the rain. Time to die'
I can't remember if that part is in the book but I love it. Such a good stylish film!
And then there's the scene in 2001 where Bowman and Poole are in a pod so that HAL can't hear them and as they're discussing what to do we are made aware that one of HAL's red eyes is in line of sight with them and can thereore see their lips moving. Brilliant!

Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

Nice idea for a thread Starbeast! I get the feeling I'll be posting a fair bit in here...

I hate to bend the rules for a first post, but hopefully nobody will mind if I use a tv trailer for something that bally well SHOULD be a scene from a film (yes, I have Halo on brain just now):

Halo: Reach trailer on Youtube
 
Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

So many to chose from...back to this later :)
 
Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

One for me has to be the battle in the Mutara Nebula at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

It's the whole coming together of music, direction and SFX. Fighting in a Nebula where screens on nearly blind, and Spock notes that Khan is fighting brilliantly but using two dimensional thinking.

We see the Reliant, and slowly as James Horner's superb fanfar begins to rise we see the Enterprise rise with it...

Ahh, what am I wittering on for...

Like that choice PM. It's one of, if not the, only scene in a Star Trek film that feels like a naval battle (with some great shots to boot!). I guess the obscuring nebulous cloud helped.

The scene in Moon where Sam talks to his daughter.
