Great Film Moments!

Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

It's a bit hard to think of favourite scenes as you alway think back to the major set pieces which are supposed to be the best parts of a movie. Personally, certain scenes just get the heart going.

1. My personal favourite is in the Empire Strikes Back when the Falcon loops over one of those beautiful Bespin clouds to come back and rescue Luke.

2. The opening sequence of Blade Runner is incredible. Again, the music and the throaty roar of the waste gas explosions coming from the pipes as the camera moves ever closer to the Ziggurat. Superb and this gets my chest going every time.

3. Silent Running when Bruce Dern is making his dinner at the sink and the camera pulls away to reveal the three AA Ships. (It's the recorded voice over and music gets me.)

4. Star Trek TMP. I love the beauty shot of the newly refurbished Enterprise A in spacedock.

I knew you'd like it Dask, I try to find the scenes that people have mentioned but didn't post.

Good grief, this is brilliant. Before I die I've got to see this movie. Is the rest of it any good?

I have never seen this 1972 movie called The Master Touch, I was hunting for another car chase scene and came across that one, and I thought the same thing you did, I want to see it too. :)
 
Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

One of the best scenes in a western ever, but beware if you don't like violence or language:


There are also a few scenes from True Romance that I'd link, but both are pretty adult themed. But the ones I'm thinking of (for those who have seen it) are Christopher Walken interrogating Dennis Hopper, and Christian Slater confronting an almost unrecognizable Gary Oldman in his drug den.

Re: Favorite Movie Scenes

Another great post Starbeast. I popped in to take a look and I've been here for hours.

PM: Tears in the Rain is my favorite scene from one of the best movies of
it's type. Good call.

Clovis-man: Red River is one of the three best western movies every made (imho). So glad you like it too and posted this fantastic scene.

My favorite? So many but off the top of my head, and since we're on Chrons, Empire Strikes Back. Falcon evading fighters through asteroid belt and 'into the belly of the beast'. Always stuck with me.

Mine too, I would back up the DVD and watch that scene a few times. I still remember being at a soldout theater in Chicago and going "ooo and ahhh" with the audience.

And I highly agree too, the end scene in Blade Runner with the expiring android is awesome.
