What makes a great movie? *snip* We all know that it takes the combination of a good script, good acting, and good directing to make a film worth watching. But the one thing that makes a good film great is those movie moments that stir our emotions and go on to last for as long as our minds will allow us to remember.

This is one of my top 10 movie moments. From an old 1950 movie with Nancy Reagan and James Whitmore titled “The Next Voice You Hear”.

Too many to list. Empire of the Sun

P51! Cadilac of the sky!

[Callan]

Many quotes, opening wedding scene is memorable, as is the garden scene with Vito's grandson, and the closing where Michael becomes the Godfather.

[marajade]

Darth Vader to luke: I am your father.

[greedo]

Kleinfeld's meeting with his client Tony Taglialucci on the prison barge in Carlito's Way

[PA Engineer]

Another one: Bladerunner tears in rain.

[marajade]

Val Kilmer as doc holiday: every single line

[yarddog]

I imagine “The Godfather” is the most quoted movie of all time, tho when I was in college in the mid 60s, everyone was quoting Maxwell Smart.

[N. Theknow]

“So, what do you think professor? Did I dazzle you? Did I jump off the page?”

Movie 21...look on the professor’s face was priceless!

[LibertarianLiz]

Don’t ask me why, but Shawshank Redemption is my most despised movie of all time

I've got one of those, a movie everybody else seemed to like; but that I despised: Love, Actually

[TIElniff]

CROMWELl (1970): “I’ll have this king’s head, and the crown upon it!”

[Hootowl]

From the 1988 movie “They Live.” In the movie, Nada, played by Roddy Piper, finds a pair of sunglasses which lets him see that aliens are disguised as humans, and discovers hidden subliminal messages everywhere. Nada then steals a police shotgun and whist evading the police stumbles into a bank proclaiming “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

One of my top movies as well. The homecoming scene with Frederic March and Myrna Loy and the wedding at the end are very emotional.

Fargo: “and it’s a beautiful day”

[LS]

Utterly awesome scene.

I’d add the nighttime defense of the compound in Benghazi from “13 Hours”

and the final attack in Zulu

[LS]

You beat me to it. “Zulu”
