10: The Ten Commandments -- the parting of the Red Sea...

9: The Wizard of Oz -- "Follow the Yellow Brick Road...follow the yellow brick road?"

8: Casablanca -- "You played it for her, you can play it for me, now play it!"

7: (and yes, the entire movie was cheesy, but this one line made it for me) Star Trek V: The Final Frontier -- "Excuse me...what does God need with a starship?"

6: The Blues Brothers -- The opening sequence when the gates of Statesville Prison open and Jake Blues comes strolling out of the blazing light behind the gates to embrace Elwood.

5: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre -- "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges."

4: Animal House -- "Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"

3: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly -- "BLONDIE!!!!"

2: Raiders of the Lost Ark -- The entire opening sequence with the idol and the run out of the temple ahead of the giant boulder.

1: The Usual Suspects -- The final sequence where Detective Kulyan realizes who he was talking to, along with the switch in walk along the sidewalk... "And like that...he was gone..."

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

We're talking about over 100 years of movie history... OK, I'll give it a try,

Gone with the Wind, I never forgot Scarlett's comment: "I'll get him back, I'll think about that tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.”

Yeah, I agree about the Exorcist... the head spin is a spooky one, but to me it was the whole movie.. the voice, the green soup, the bed thingy, lol. I couldn't sleep well for a week after I saw the video.

The Godfather... the horse head in the bed was the strongest moment for me.

Rocky going up and down the steps of the museum of Art.

The Pianist... when the German soldier who saves the pianist gives him his coat and tells him, "You must survive. God wills it."

My favorite so far... Life is Beautiful (La Vita e Bella) with Roberto Benigni and Nicoletta Braschi. The way the father protects his son from the horrors of the war is very moving. The most powerful moment is the bittersweet end... when the father is taken by the Nazis and he tells his son not to worry because it's only a game.

Schindler's List

The Dresser with Albert Finney
