Favorite Scifi Film Scenes

[vibeke_T]

Do you have any particular favorites when in comes to scenes in scifi movies? I have a few...precious few.

-- the scene where Jodie Foster's character in Contact journeys in space and meets her dad...I always cry at that part. It gets to me...on two levels, one she meets her dad but it also has his implicity spiritual/judeo christian context that makes it so sweet.

-- Tears in the Rain from Blade Runner... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB86fXIXLmk its just so touching, I have no idea why...but it is one of the greatest monologues in a film. ever.

-- The Gattaca Intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcjuTx0YKcw so smooth and already so sad

-- like the WHOLE movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, but most importantly the final scenes...beautiful and sad...really underscores our own mortality.

-- the scene in Minority Report where Agatha tells John and wife about their son

 

[Carmine Falcone]

The ending of Twelve Monkeys.

I much prefer the scene where she first intercepts the alien signal. It's such a dramatic moment.

-- Tears in the Rain from Blade Runner... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB86fXIXLmk its just so touching, I have no idea why...but it is one of the greatest monologues in a film. ever.

Fantastic choice which I gladly second. It's an amazing movie moment.

One of my favorite films, but I prefer the swimming sequence near the end.

-- the scene in Minority Report where Agatha tells John and wife about their son

-- Tears in the Rain from Blade Runner... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB86fXIXLmk its just so touching, I have no idea why...but it is one of the greatest monologues in a film. ever.

This is my number one moment in all of sci-fi. The monologue is amazing because it captures the human experience, it's the fate that awaits us all.

Other amazing moments:

The whole of Brazil and the whole of 12 Monkeys

Thats should have been so much cooler, with less of them *****ing and shooting little crappy buzz droids and more dog fighting with tri-fighters. Would have loved to see a squadron of ARC-170 take on a capital ship

Great scene in Tarantula where the army try to blow it up....but when the smoke clears, it's still walking towards them. Great effects, especially for a movie made in the 50's - and, of course, it's Clint Eastwood who eventually kills the damn thing.

 

[Cyrusbales]

The cityscapes in Metropolis

Moloch! from Metropolis

You beat me to it! I love the seven deadly sins scene also!

Yeah!! Those movies are classic. "Day of the Triffids" is my favorite.
