"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate." - Dark Helmet, Spaceballs.
I think that quote is from the Jail scene in Ghostbusters, isn't it?
Last of the Mohicans- The "I will find you!" scene. There isn't a woman alive who wouldn't want that degree of devotion. I sit there with the remote and just click to that scene if the movie is on TV.
Road Warrior- That incredible chase sequence at the end.
Man From Snowy River- Ned the horse going over and straight down the hill. I still don't know whether to be amazed by the horse or impressed by the rider.
Singin' in the Rain- The whole "Singin' in the Rain" dance bit. Still perfect.
One of the old Musketeer movies- The Duke of Wellington returning from the hunt in this bloody shirt, stomping down the hall, yelling orders and tearing off the shirt. OK, so sue me, but it was clearly the first time I saw a scene written with females in mind.
The Potempkin- Baby carriage down the Odessa Steps (Ok, I know it's obscure). But it was one of those "Ah ha!" moments when I saw how you could literally wrap an entire movie into one bit of film.
Psycho- The shower scene of course....changed America's bathing habits for years ;)
Wizard of Oz- The Munchkins coming out for the first time. I still get little girls goosbumps every time I watch it.
Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherf'er. Pigs sleep and root in s--t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherf'n' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Samuel Jackson - Vincent
John Travolta - Jules
May the Schwartz be with you.
I wonder how many got suckered into accepting Communism because of that one scene?
Where the white women at?
Interesting, Unforgiven is the worst movie I can ever remember seeing. The entire theatre seemed to agree with me. When it ended, there was an audible groan of disappointment from most of the audience. Oh well.
It is barely watchable unless you really want to see what happens towards the end of Michael Corleone's life. In particular, Coppola apparently couldn't find anyone to play Michael Corleone's 20 something daughter so he ended up casting his daughter whose name I forget.
Watching her attempt to act is like going to the dentist and getting your teeth drilled.
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of the evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children."
"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"
Wrong scene!
Singing of La Marseillaise at Rick's.

"You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"
And of course, Major Kong rides the bomb!
really? wow- I can honestly say I thought it was one of the best movies I have ever seen
IMHO, perhaps not the most 'powerful' but for me intense opeing scenes was Stallone's Cliffhanger. I couldn't believe he was going to drop the girl, even the second time I watched it I was white knuckling the chair I was sitting in.
Surprising.
Absolutley one of my favorite movies.
I wonder how much better Godfather III would have been received had it not been for Sofia Coppola?
Yeh really. I know people on both sides of this one so who can tell. I just know I didn't like it much.
I think she played the infant in the first Godfather to.
Nope.
