Favorite movie moments

[Gizmo1990]

My girlfriends little borther just saw The Empire strikes back for the first time the other day and the ending blew his little mind. It got me thinking about my favorite movie moments and while Empire is up there this has to be mine.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Spoiler

What about you.

Disclaimer- This thread will obviously have spoilers so please use spoiler tags and give the name of the movie before you give any spoilers.

 

[Rawne1980]

Equilibrium is one of my all time favourite films.

I love the final fight scenes.

Spoiler

 

[Wadders]

A bit of a weird one I know, but I really like the 'briefcase scene' in Collateral where Tom Cruise drops those 2 thugs in about 1 second flat, then finishes one off. First time I saw the film I never saw that coming, it happened so fast and it's stuck with me ever since.


"Yo Homie!"

Also the minute or so of build up to the charge of the Rohan cavalry in RotK, with Theoden riding down the ranks tapping their spears with his sword and giving a Rousing Speech [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RousingSpeech]. Shivers down the spine stuff, that.

 

[Professor Lupin Madblood]

Pretty much the whole of Skyfall's length was a cinematic orgasm, but the sequence at the manor was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on film.

Also, in 127 Hours, the arm amputation scene is probably the only thing that's ever actually made me physically recoil from a movie. This sounds dumb, but it's so real - of course there would be bone, of course he would have to cut through nerves and arteries.

Spoiler: The scene in question. Not for the faint of heart.

 

[Able Seacat]

Oldboy is a favourite film of mine and I think the fight scene is sterling. I think what I like most is the nearly static camera. No extreme close ups or shaking or jerky movements so you can't see what's going on, just simple following of the action with a great soundtrack to follow.

Spoiler: Oldboy Fight Scene

 

[BloatedGuppy]

Hmm, quite a few. The most obvious one would be from Lord of the Rings (from about 2:30 in for the best part):


I'd have to think about other ones. Specific scenes aren't always easy to find on YouTube.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Funny how everybody's favorite movie scene is always a fight scene?
(me, I love Jack and Grady's creepy toilet scene in The Shining)

 

[Flamezdudes]

My favourite scene from a movie? Difficult, especially since some of them I can't seem to find on youtube to show here. Here is one of my favourite scenes from my all time favourite film Let The Right One In however.

 

[Esotera]

Nothing beats the ending of Black Dynamite. Particularly at 1:02...

 

[Casual Shinji]

100 Mile Dash from The Incredibles.


The moment I saw this scene, the movie went from great to spanktastically amazing.

Also Mei's first encounter with Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. There are no clips of it on Youtube, probaly because otherwise the site would explode because of sheer adorableness

 

[Darks63]

The construction scene from falling down is my fav i think about it everytime i see road work that slows my progress

 

[Collegeboy21]

Sam's speech at the end of the Two Towers, juxtaposed with the Ents sacking Isenguard and the victory at Helm's Deep. Sublime. Gives me chills every time.

 

[TheFunPolice]

*ahem*

DOES HE LOOK LIKE A *****!?

I honestly think that whole scene from Pulp Fiction is just superb, I can't think of anything that can top that first 15 minutes

 

[Guffe]

Well there's for movies

Spoiler: The Rock, THAT Nicolas Cage and Sean Connory moment

Cage: I'll try my best
Connory: Losers whine about doing their best, winners go home and fuck the prom queen!

I'm also going to say the ending to Xenoblade Chronicles, wasn't a movie but was very... interesting...

 

[M K Ultra]

Spoiler: Because I can't link the whole movie, these will have to do.

Spoiler: This is how you shoot a death scene.

 

[lacktheknack]

I'd post it, but it involves Nicolas Cage being Nicolas Cage, and that's liable to get me set on fire.

 

[herbortamus]

Well, the obvious one:

Spoiler: LOTR spoiler

The idea to put in a temptation/threat/taunt from Sauron was genius. It helps to solidify the decision for everyone to go on this crazy suicide run.

Then, one of my fav parts of the Star Wars Trilogy:

Spoiler: I really hope everyone has seen Star Wars by now

Specifically the part where Luke tries so hard to not think about Leia, but can't help it. Then he becomes enraged when Vader threatens to go after her.

 

[Space commando 75]

Dog soldiers spoons last stand.
