Top 20 Favorite Movie Scenes.

[The Chairman]

You should watch it. It's a great companion piece to Goodfellas. Beautifully shot and VERY well-acted. Plus it has a soundtrack with so much Classic Rock your brain almost can't take it all in.



Ofcourse I did. Poor Morrie

'"Dont buy wigs that come off at the wrong time! Morrie's wigs are tested against hurricane winds..''

Heh, you know me to well.

The scene where Morrie is talking on the phone as Jimmy strangles him is priceless.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

He has an even better death in True Romance.

Spoiler

He goes into this little monologue about eating ***** and Gary Oldman blows him away with a shotgun

.

I love True Romance.

**** Drexl, any ****** who says he don't eat ***** is lying his ass off!

 

[The Chairman]

I love True Romance.

**** Drexl, any ****** who says he don't eat ***** is lying his ass off!

There's so many great moments.

Spoiler

Oldman getting his nuts blown off is quite awesome.

"Open your eyes mother****". I'm not big on Slater, but he was pretty badass in that. Then again, Balky from Perfect Strangers was awesome in it.

Every second that Oldman is on screen is classic. Drexl Spivey: One of my fav. movie characters ever.

Also great roles from Brad Pitt, Michael Rapaport, Saul Rubinek, James Gandolfini, Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, Tom Sizemore, Bronson Pichot....just too many really

And you gotta love that final shootout.

Yes. And I'm glad they went with the happy ending. I hated the alternate one.

Now this one is really hard and I thought naming favourite films was tricky. I won't commit to this top 20 (actually I didn't count how many scenes I've put) as I know I'm missing major scenes even from the films that I've remembered. It's going to hurt but off the top of my head here goes:


Vader taking the Tantive IV & the bar scene from ANH
'Luke I am your father' from ESB
Skywalker Vs Vader & Vader turning from the dark side from ROTJ
Ringwraiths chasing Arwen and being washed away at Bruinen from FOTR
Helm's Deep from TTT
Minas Tirith (before Army of Dead turn up) from ROTK
Witch King Vs Gandalf from ROTK Extended edition (can't believe this was edited out )
Skeletal Terminator rising from the dead in Terminator
Chase & Battle between the two Terminators from Terminator 2
'Cute' chestburster in Alien
Bishop going through the tunnel and having it sealed behind him in Aliens
Tidal Wave in New York from Deep Impact (although the film as a whole is not one of my favourites)
The three challenges for the Holy Grail from Last Crusade
The lobby shooting scenes & 'bullet time' on the top of the building from The Matrix
Car chase and associated action scenes in Matrix Reloaded
Willis' 'choosing a weapon' scene from Pulp Fiction
Thurman's samurai sword battle from Kill Bill
Most scenes involving the T Rex or raptors from Jurassic Park
Most scenes in Predator ('Monster in the jungle' films tend to have it easy with me)
King Kong Vs Rexes from King Kong
Mock Battle of Carthage, gladatorial fight against champion involving tigers, also '...Father to a murdered son...' from Gladiator
Hector Vs Achilles from Troy
Ending to Braveheart
Beginning to Spy Who Loved Me

As can be seen I'm a sucker for commercial spectacle.

Note: I reserve the right to edit this list at any point in the future.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

[Karem-Knight]

^ Great choiches. I like your #7

Thanks, Nothing beats Marty, DeNiro and Pesci.

 

[Karem-Knight]

I did too.

Tommy is a ****ing psycho.

Joe Pesci was great in Casino aswell (despite him playing almost exactly the same character)

Spoiler

The way he dies in that is gut-wrenchingly violent. That movie as a whole, is probably the most violent I have ever seen

Spoiler

I think the vice scene is more disturbing.
