OK, came up in another thread, so here we go.

What's your favorite movie scene ever? Movie may have sucked, but you loved one scene. What is it?

I had the Baldwin scene in Glengarry Glen Ross.

I may have another. I'll have to think about this some more.

You know me like that.

I'm thinking about it but one that springs to mind is Edward Norton's "Fuck You" sequence from 25th Hour. Another one from the same movie is the fantasy sequence towards the end as his father is taking him to jail.

The movie "Beautiful Girls" with Matt Dillon. A bunch of guys at a bar singing "Sweet Caroline". Probably not my favorite, but if I see that the movie is on I'll always tune in until that scene is over.

I thought it was a pretty cool scene, but I didn't think that the movie needed it. It made you remember that Spike Lee was directing it.

"The Deer Hunter" Russian Roulette scene. It's obvious, but it's still chilling.

"Final Destination 2" - the car pile up sequence.

"Alive" - the plane crash ("Castaway" had a great plane crash sequence too...)

"Glory" - the whipping scene

i know i've got more i'll think of...

John Wayne and Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence -

Wayne - That was my steak, Valence.
Marvin - You heard him, pick it up.
Wayne - I said you, Valence. You pick it up.

Great scene.

And....

Two scenes in The Caine Mutiny - Bogart on the stand

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9KlQPX1qiE

and the final scene with Jose Ferrer, both great....

You'll publish your novel, make a
million bucks, marry a movie star, -

- and live with your conscience.
If you have any.

Here's to the real author of
"The Caine Mutiny". Here's to you.

I'll be outside. I'm drunker than
you are, so it'll be a fair fight.

True Romance:

Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my
old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from
growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen
different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has
seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.
The awful pain in Cliff's hand is being replaced by the awful pain in his heart. He looks deep into Coccotti's eyes.
CLIFF
Could I have one of those Chesterfields now?
COCCOTTI
Sure.
Coccotti leans over and hands him a smoke.
CLIFF
Got a match?
Cliff reaches into his pocket and pulls out a lighter.
CLIFF
Oh, don't bother. I got one.
(he lights the cigarette)
So you're a Sicilian, huh?
COCCOTTI
(intensly)
Uh-huh.
CLIFF
You know I read a lot. Especially things that have to do with history. I
find that shit fascinating. In fact, I don't know if you know this or not,
Sicilians were spawned by geniuses.
All the men stop what they were doing and look at Cliff, except for Tooth-pic Vic who doesn't speak English and so isn't insulted. Coccotti can't believe what he's hearing.
COCCOTTI
Come again?
CLIFF
It's a fact. Sicilians have genius blood pumpin' through their hearts. If
you don't believe me, look it up. You see, hundreds and hundreds of years ago the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are geniuses. Way back then, Sicilians were like the wops in northern Italy. Blond hair, blue eyes. But, once the Moors moved in there, they changed the whole country. They did so much fuckin' with the Sicilian women, they changed the blood-line for ever, from blond hair and blue eyes to black hair and dark skin. I find it absolutely amazing to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, Sicilians still carry that genius gene. I'm just quotin' history. It's a
fact. It's written. Your ancestors were geniuses. Your great, great, great,
great, great-grandmother was fucked by a genius, and had a half-nigger kid.
That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin'?

Coccotti looks at him for a moment then jumps up, whips out an automatic, grabs hold of Cliff's hair, puts the barrel to his temple, and pumps three bullets through Cliff's head.

He pushes the body violently aside. Coccotti pauses. Unable to express his feelings and frustrated by the blood in his hands, he simply drops his weapon, and turns to his men.
COCCOTTI
I haven't killed anybody since 1974. Goddamn his soul to burn for eternity
in fuckin' hell for makin' me spill blood on my hands! Go to this comedian's son's apartment and come back with somethin' that tells me where that asshole went so I can wipe this egg off of my face and fix this
fucked-up family for good.

Another good Walken scene is the one in Pulp Fiction where he gave the watch to Butch.

Gekko - "Greed is good" scene from Wall Street.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_icgdMQ4MdQ&mode=related&search=

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good.

Greed is right.

Greed works.

Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

Good Will Hunting.

The scene where Williams presses Damon to believe his previously abused life was not his fault.

i just played back that scene in "true romance"; wonderfully written and executed to perfection.

also on "tombstone", one of my favorite westerns...agreed, Kilmer stole the show. "i guess my hypocrisy knows no bounds."

i always thought that the opening credits scene in 'reservoir dogs' is the best opening on film. has such a cool vibe to it with them walking in slo-mo to 'little green bag'. easily, tarantino's best work



a second great scene is the magic bullet/kennedy assissination breakdown by jim garrison in 'jfk' the editing and accompanying musical crescendo was so well done. again, this scene was oliver stone's crowning achievement.

the funniest scene came from revenge of the nerds, which had the following exchange (while waiting in a food line):

Gilbert: I met a girl today.
Lewis: Gilbert!
Gilbert: Her name is Judy
Lewis: Judy is a nice name.
Gilbert: Yeah. She's a nice girl
Booger: Who cares? Did you get in her pants?
Gilbert: She's not that kind of girl, Booger.
Booger: Why? She got a penis?

(Basketball flies into a stew pot, splashing stew onto Poindexter's suit)

Booger: You gonna eat that? (then wipes stew with his finger and eats it)

Boogie Nights:

Dirk: Look, man, all we need is the tapes, all right?
Record Producer: No, you don't get the tapes until you've paid.
Dirk: In our situation, that doesn't make any fucking sense.
Reed Rothchild: Look, we can not pay for the tapes, unless we take the tapes to the record company, and get paid.
Dirk: Hello? Exactly.
Record Producer: That's not an MP, that's a YP, your problem. Come up with the money, or forget it.
Reed Rothchild: Okay, now you're talking above my head. I don't know all of this industry jargon, YP, MP. All I know is that I can't get a record contract, we cannot get a record contract unless we take those tapes to the record company. And granted, the tapes themselves are a uh um oh, you own them, all right, but the magic that is on those tapes. That fucking heart and soul that we put onto those tapes, that is ours and you don't own that. Now I need to take that magic and get it over the record company. And they're waiting for us, we were supposed to be there a half hour ago. We look like assholes, man.

Gecko's "Greed is Good" scene is no.2 for me Doc. Perfectly in character and played to a tee.

i love damon, hate affleck.

the worst scene in that movie was affleck's terribly overacted "do it for us" speech. first of all, the dialogue was 1st year film student trip, and secondly, why does afflect hold his beer with 1 pinky pointing out? he's supposed to be some blue-collar construction worker and he's drinking it like he's the queen of england.

i actually like damon a lot too but knowing that there were other people doctoring that script, and it's just such a perfect scene, i can't imagine either one of them being able to write it. if they did, they're hella great writers. but if they did, why haven't they turned another screenplay out?

or at least one of them?

QT is one of the strangest dudes out there, but he has a gift when it comes to writing dialog. Even Travolta couldn't fuck up his writing.
And in the hands of two pros like Walken & Hopper you got pure genius.

The Princess Bride:

Inigo Montoya: [Rugen swings his sword but Inigo blocks it and then begins advancing] Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die.

Inigo Montoya: [He falls on a table. Rugen attacks and Inigo blocks four times before he continues to advance on Rugen]

Inigo Montoya: Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die.

Count Rugen: [Now Rugen attacks five times and Inigo blocks every single one]

Inigo Montoya: [Louder] Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die.

Count Rugen: Stop saying that!

Inigo Montoya: [Rugen attacks and Inigo blocks it and then stabs Rugen in the shoulder. Then Rugen swings his sword. Inigo ducks and stabs Rugen in the other shoulder. Then he advances quickly and they fight] Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya! You killed my father prepare to die!

Count Rugen: [Rugen gets his sword knocked away and Inigo slices his cheek] No!

Inigo Montoya: Offer me money

Count Rugen: Yes

Inigo Montoya: Power too promise that!

[he slices Rugen's other cheek]

Count Rugen: All that I have and more. Please.

Inigo Montoya: Offer me everything I ask for.

Inigo Montoya: Anything you want.

Count Rugen: [Rugen attacks but Inigo grabs his arm and stabs Rugen in the stomach]

Inigo Montoya: I want my father back you son of a bitch.
[Inigo plunches the sword into Rugen's gut and he falls down dead]

damon is too busy accepting great, respectable roles, while afflect is too busy playing movie star, appearing in crap, and banging starlets.

damon definitely has his head on straight. i wouldn't be surprised to see him direct some films (as he mentioned his desire to do so on the james lipton ass-kissing show)

the 'spider, spider' & 'am i clown? do i amuse you scenes' in goodfellas were all-time classics. what about the scene when the fellas are at scoreses's mom's house?

"you got one dog looking one way and another dog looking the other way. the guy in the middle is saying 'what do you want from me'?"

man, that whole movie is FILLED with gems. as great as the godfather was, goodfellas tops it as greatest mob movie ever.
