Thread: Favorite Movie Scene/moment

Alright, there are a bunch of threads on favorite movies/songs/etc. but let's break it down just a little bit more.

What are some of your favorite movie moments? They can be full scenes, single effects, a compelling exchange of dialogue, whatever. Wouldn't hurt to tell us why you chose those scenes/moments, either, if ya want.

Pressed for time so I'll start off with just a couple:

Trinity riding into oncoming traffic on the motorcycle in Matrix: Reloaded.
Beatrix vs. O-ren's "Crazy 88" gang in Kill Bill vol. 1
Just about every battle in Braveheart.
When all of the noblemen (I think) were starting to argue and the big bearded guy in Wallace's band pulls out his battle-axe and slams it down on the table, basically telling everyone to STFU. Also in Braveheart.

I'll think of some more later.

The original Matrix movie with the lobby scene and the subway fight with him being chased.

Probably the two big fights in the lord of the rings

Also the fight in Pirates 1 between Captain Jack and Barbossa? is that his name, the effects in that part was really good when you turned into skeletons.

ballroom scene from Disney's Beauty and the Beast
was an CG animation first, and really well executed

Aerial rearing up on the rock in The Little Mermaid
hey.......I was young

Verbal Kint walking out of the police station in The Usual Suspects, and the whole unravelling of the story he told to the cops

The ending of The Butterfly Effect (international version, not US version)
it's just heart wrenching

Ack! I'm just gettin the Vol. 4 of Naruto today!!! (or tomorrow ) I figured that would happen, but I still didn't want to hear it just yet!

As for "V," I loved that whole movie.

In... *think* oh, it's a movie based off of an older TV space-themed show where the family ends up being.... (DUH&#33 "Lost in Space." It's was an okay movie over all, but I loved when they did the stop-time scene. All of a sudden everything went dead silent for a few moments and you didn't even want to breathe.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Leonard &#064; "Memento")</div>

I&#39;m not a killer. I&#39;m just someone who wanted to make things right. Can&#39;t I just let myself forget what you&#39;ve told me? Can&#39;t I just let myself forget what you&#39;ve made me do?
You think I just want another puzzle to solve? Another John G. to look for? You&#39;re a John G. So you can be my John G. [He writes down Teddy&#39;s license plate number]
Will I lie to myself to be happy? In your case Teddy... yes I will.[/b]

That gives me goosebumps.

Snatch:

Scene with Mickey at his mums wake. Cool camera effects that reflect Mickey&#39;s drunkness.

And the fight scene where Mickey is knocked to the floor, cool cam effect again, as mickey appears to have been dropped down into deep water, and is looking up at himself having the shit kicked out of him. Then the scene goes on to show Mickeys slo-mo one punch knockout - complete with saliva and sweat spray, as well as ripples in the other guys face.

Anyone who hasn&#39;t seen Snatch I would recommend they go buy it....NOW&#33; Take a look.

I&#39;ve just lost all credibility on this forum, now........[/b]

the fact that you even know that is hilarious




hmm, let&#39;s see here...

- the tyranosaur attack in Jurassic Park - (as, I think, Oneironaut said)
- the "we gone to plaid" scene in Spaceballs
- the horse head scene in The Godfather "make him an offer he can&#39;t refuse"
- the Cave Troll scene in LOTR Fellowship - damn you thinking of these ones first, O&#33;
- the escape in The Shawshank Redemption

Favourite scene?

Probably Schindler&#39;s List, the scene in the basement where Nazi officer Goethe(sp?) is basically in turmoil over his attraction to the Jewish maid (forgotten her name). It&#39;s just a brilliantly executed scene.
