Favourite Moments In Movies

[REBerg]

Gotta stop thinking about these. Warning, some PG-13 type profanity included.

"Geez, I crack me up!"

"Are you crazy? The fall will probably kill ya!"

 

[Droflet]

Malone to Ness. Describing the corruption in Chicago. "Yeah, this town stinks worse than a whore-house at low tide." Sean Connery. The Untouchables.

Every so often a line sticks in my head. I sometimes wonder if I could write something this perfect. Hangs head and slinks off.

 

[Rodders]

The scene where Grossberger sings from Stir Crazy.

"No tower, why doesnt anyone tell me these things?" Airplane II (Infact, i think this is the funniest scene in any movie.)

the "I aint got no body" scene from Young Frankenstein.

"Don't tell me what's nessa, i tell you what's nessa" High Anxiety. (There are many great scenes from this movie.)

 

[Venusian Broon]

the "I aint got no body" scene from Young Frankenstein.

The moment that always makes me cry with laughter in that film is when they have reanimated the monster, but locked in a room, and Frankenstein carefully and slowly explains:

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Love is the only thing that can save this poor creature, and I am going to convince him that he is loved even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door.

Inga: Yes, Doctor.

Igor: Nice working with ya.

[Dr. Frederick Frankenstein goes into the room with The Monster. The Monster wakes up]

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! Mommy!

 

[Allegra]

Masterstroke in every sense. Not a word but spoke volumes.

 

[HareBrain]

The watch-chimes finale of For a Few Dollars More.

Tuco running through the cemetary in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

(OK, so big Morricone fan here)

The moment when Chihiro tells dragon-Haku his identity in Spirited Away.

The bit where San feeds Ashitaka chewed meat by the lake in Princess Mononoke.

(OK, so big Miyazaki fan too)

 

[Vaz]

The scene where we first encounter the forest spirit in Princess Mononoke

The ending of The Prestige When Hugh Jackman Says to Bale: "The audience knows the truth: the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you... then you got to see something really special... you really don't know?... it was... it was the look on their faces..."

Gets me right in the feels... Every time

 

[REBerg]

Spaceballs

Totally unexpected. This cracked me up the first time I saw it. Just thinking of it still makes me smile.

Lots more spoofy moments in this flick. Like Dark Helmet giving the order to take the ship to "ludicrous speed" and over-accelerating to "plaid."

 

[Alex The G and T]

Love that bit ^^^. I always wonder how many people are old enough to get the reference.

The clip:

The whole episode:

[Droflet]

A classic. Can we have Duck Dodgers in the 25 (and a half) Century, next? Pleasssssse.

 

[Venusian Broon]

Airplane 2

This moment coming up with, good old Bill Shatner, had myself and my dad rolling about the floor laughing till it hurt. (well it really hurt him because he'd just had an operation on his gall bladder and was literally trying to stop himself split the stitches of his operation cut.)

 

[Alex The G and T]

Hah! I just watched Airplane II again just a week or two ago. ssss. Brilliant. ssss.

And the Butch and Sundance cliff jump exclamation became iconic, back in the day when we first saw it in theaters. Certain friends and I already had a penchant for hurling ourselves off of high rocks into deep water, just for fun; so the scene and the exclamation held a dear place in our hearts.

Even in my youth, my limit for seemingly suicidal leaps had a limit of about forty feet; which is plenty high enough to elicit the sentiment.

Decades later, I still enjoy a flying leap once in a while; but it seems that fifteen or twenty feet is plenty high enough to satisfy the urge.

 

[Droflet]

Okay maybe not the best movie in the franchise but what a line.

"Walk until your feet bleed ... then keep walking." Silverfox to Stryker. X Men: Origins.

 

[Delfilm]

If there was one image that represented how fans connected with Star Wars, it would be the scene where Luke looks out to the twin suns setting over Tatooine. Everyone has had a moment like that - EVERYONE!

Another favourite moment in a film is Up where Russell pokes Mr Fredrikson's face after the storm - "Phew, I thought you were dead!" Genius!

 

[BAYLOR]

Conan the Barbarian 1982 Conan running from wolves gets cornered on top of that he knows to be an ancient Tomb. but the writing in the monument . He falls into the Tomb . It's dark inside, but you cn see in the there are caved alcoves with what appear to the desiccated corpses of long dead warriors. Conan finds enough materials to light a fire and notices in the back of the tomb a large armored skeletal figure with an encrusted sword sitting Throne. The figure is a literally giant and could be chief or even a king . Conan approaches and gazes an the giant figure in fascination and no doubt recalls his father tale of the Steel and the Giants who stole it from the Gods . He takes the sword pounds it causing the corrosion to fall off revealing the the steel sword underneath. The giant without the sword to support him partially topples from his throne. Conan goes out the tomb entrance cuts the chains and prepares to do battle with the wolves . This scenes and sequences is amazing . One the reason to like this wonderful film.

 

[Coast]

I have a terrible memory for movies, but two that stand out recently are:
Tombstone: Kurt Russell's Earp takes the stake in the card game at one of the pubs. Him and the no-good cowboy dealer get face to face and the cowboy makes to go for his gun. Earp slaps him a few times and tells him, "Go on, skin it! Skin that smoke wagon and see what happens!"

And Guardians of the Galaxy: After trying to convince people to call him by his Outlaw name, Peter Quill runs into Korath (Djimon Hounsou), weapons ready.
Korath: Starlord!
Quill: Finally.

Star Wars (the original) - Vader is pursuing Luke along the Death Star trench...

"I have you now."

And just for a fleeting moment, the bad guys were gonna win!

 

[BAYLOR]

After re-watching a few favourites of mine, just thought It would be fun to start a thread where we can share and discuss some of our all time movie moments, those moments that stay with you even years after watching the movie


So I'll start and nominate Jurassic Park as one of my favourites, My favourite scene is when the game warden (Bob Peck) is hunting the Velociraptor and he lays his hat down, aims his gun at a Raptor in the clearing only for another Raptor to emerge from a bush inches away at which point Peck turns towards her and says.

"Clever Girl."

such a fantastic and memorable scene! So what are some of your favourite moments?

That scenes in Jurassic park with Raptor and the Hunter is priceless.

 

[Vaz]

It is, also the moment where Dr. Grant realises they can open doors!

 

[VinceK]

In terms of setting the tone of a movie, I'd have to say the opening scene in Alien. The serenity of the bridge, the normality of the rocking bird and then the grating chatter as the computer awakens, its output reflected in the helmet visor. Hard to believe that film is thirty-seven years old.
