Silencio!

In Alien Resurrecion, when Ripley kills the last Alien and it looks at her, like "how could you do this to me, you're my grandmother."

At the end of Mac and Me when it says "We'll Be Back!" and they never were because the movie sucked.

"Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

/not the best scene, just a cool line

Harold and Maude

Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?
Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.(points at little white daisies lining the road)
Maude: Why do you say that?
Harold: Because they're all alike.
Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,
[she points to a daisy]
Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*
[she gestures to a field of daisies, and the image fades into a military graveyard]

Also, the opening scene of Wayne's World, when they interview the Suck-cut guy.

The tragic climax of Il Conformista when Dominique Sanda is running away from the Fascists in the forest, while Marcello just stands there looking lame. The contrast of her blood on her white coat and the snow in the stark forest, and Marcello's blank, helpless look is just such a powerful and beautiful scene. Ah, I'm going to pop that in the DVD player now.

The topic's just too darn broad.
But it would probably be something from Young Frankenstein or Dr. Strangelove.
They both just kick so much ass.

optimus_prime:
"Dust off and nuke from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

One of the best lines in movie history.

This one makes me laugh every time

"Where'd you get the coconuts?"

"We found them."

"In Mercia? This is a temperate zone. The coconut's tropical."

*fast forward*

"It's not a matter of where he grips it. It's a simple matter of weight ratios..."

You know the rest.

Patricia Arquette fighting James Gandolfini in True Romance.


/dreams of cracking a guy over the noggin with a toilet tank lid

final scene of thelma and louise. man that always gets to me. . . women killing themselves after having been screwed over by the man. why can't real life be more like the movies?

/wait. what was the question?

The end of Ichi the Killer when the kid starts kicking Ichi. It was the funniest and most poignant thing I've seen from a movie in years.

Best. Monologue. Ever.

1) the end of La Strada, when Gelsomina breaks into a huge smile.

2) Or the "it's my guitar, Mathieu; I play it for whomever I want" speech in Bunuel's "That Obscure Object Of Desire." Everytime I see that scene, I hoot and holler and run around the house screaming "DEEEEYAM!!!! You jes'...got....SERVED, foool! Awwww SNAP! I KNOW she just didn't say that! Look at yo' face, Mathieu!"


3) When Han is about to get carbon froze, and Chewbacca freaks out and Han says "hey man, you have to protect the Princess", and then Chewie makes that crying sound. Tears. Every single time.

Oooh, also most of Donnie Darko. It's sad, funny and spooky all at the same time.

The scene in A Bronx Tale with the bikers in the bar.

"Now youse can't leave."

Dimensiation: There are way too many. I can't choose.

I second that. I'm pretty sure it features Audrey Hepburn, though

"Im your huckleberry..."

I also love the scene in The Godfather when James Caan beats the shiat out of his sister's husband with the garbage can lid.

The scene in Sanjuro where Toshiro Mifune kills 21 guys all by himself, and once he's done, angrily slaps the junior samurai who got him captured, saying, "You made me kill them!"

It shows an impressive concern for human life, even the lives of one's enemies, for him to be that angry at being forced to kill. Far beyond what you'd expect from a modern movie where the good guy just mows through legions of indistinguishable enemy soldiers without a care for the mother being left without a son or the orphaned children.

vitaminP: "Im your huckleberry..."


Nice.

Or, "You tell him I'm comin' and I'm bringing hell with me!"

Howie Spankowitz-> Yeah, theres too many good ones in that flick.

Hey... Dad?

You wanna have a catch?
/sniff

Oh, actually, one of the scenes that I saw recently, that I find so powerful, is the final scene from citizen kane.

When they are all walking in Xanadu, amongst the things that are getting sold, literally a man's life being deconstructed and given away, and when Rosebud gets thrown in the flames.. very powerful.

A few deaths in Seven Samurais, too.... Dammit, there are too many!

Actually, come to think of it, it might be something from Before the Sunrise/Sunset...

Argh!

The opening scene of "Always".

Men fishing quietly.
WTF entering from screen top.

vitaminP: Yeah, theres too many good ones in that flick.

"Doc, I know why I'm out here. These bastards killed my family. But what are you doing out here?"

"Wyatt Earp is my friend."

"Heh heh...I got lots of friends."

"I don't."

I love the WTF look on the priest's face when Linda Blair's head spins around in The Exorcist.

The opening scene of ghostbusters. Especially the end bit, where the librarian comes barreling around the corner, there's a huge burst of light, she screams as the wind whips up, and bam... right into the titles.

Absolutely perfect.

rufie52: I like the scene in kill bill 2 where she's buried alive

That scene gave me nightmares.

I'm partial to Al Pacino's monoglue in Devil's Advocate where he says God is laughing is sick, farking ass off.

vitaminP: "Im your huckleberry..."

Ohhh, good one.

Howie Spankowitz: "It's not a matter of where he grips it. It's a simple matter of weight ratios..."

Ah, yes, that's also a great one, but I like:

"She turned me into a newt."

*looks around*

"I got better"

"Its a cookbook..!"
I saw this when I was 8, still freaks me out.
/twilight zone nerd

Favorite?

Most thought provoking: The final scene between Deckard and Batty in Blade Runner. Somehow, it defines life, or being alive.

The scene where Steve Buscemi is telling the story about the Mariachi in the beginning of Desperado.

I wish I was Antonio Banderas

aimtastic

That is my absolute favorite movie. I like the scene when Clerance goes to kill Drexl or the part with Clarences dad and Vincenzo Coccotti

In 'Chinatown' - "See, Mr. Gitts, most people never have to face the fact that, at the right time and the right place, they're capable of... anything!"

tonkin: I wish I was Antonio Banderas

If you were Antonio Banderas, I'd have sex with you.

The mexican stand off and ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs, and when Jack is axeing in the door in The Shinning

The meaning of life "this waffer thin mint"

BrunelloBabe how about we turn the lights out and I speak with an accent?

wow, this is a broad question...

I really like the scene in the Princess Bride, where she's about to kill herself, but Wesley is behind her and she stops and they reunite and it's all lovely...god I love that movie :)

tonkin: BrunelloBabe how about we turn the lights out and I speak with an accent?

That's fine, just don't ask me to be Melanie Griffith. She's a train wreck. Can you do Antonio Banderas as Puss-In-Boots?

aimtastic: Patricia Arquette fighting James Gandolfini in True Romance.


I found that just brutal. You don't see someone truly knocking the shiat out of a woman on a movie that often. I am not talking about serial killer violence, or implied stuff, but really just kicking the shiat out of someone. Makes me a little ill thinking about it. It was well done, and hard to take b/c of that fact.


My favorite scene would probably be Michael Moriarty in the movie The STUFF (pops), where he saves the kids from the kiler yogurt and says something like, "Everyone has to eat shaving cream to save the world once in their lives!"

Pray for mercy from Puss... in boots.

Greenlight?

Recent ones I've observed:

La Danse Macabre from the Seventh Seal (Technically that whole movie would apply...Max Von Sydow's confessional and his scribe talking to the painter were amazing).

Detective Mills and Somerset driving John Doe to the "final scene" in Seven. The conversations in that car were amazing.

The ending of Field of Dreams and Rudy *sniffle*

Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why do you do it?
Doc Holliday: Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell I got lot's of friends.
Doc Holliday: I don't.

Wrath of Khan, when Kirk radios the Enterprise from the Genesis cave that they are ready to beam up.

/geek.

Pretty much all of Amelie.
