for me there is one that stands out from a movie called the "seventh seal"[it is the middle of the fourteenth century. Antonius Block and his squire after long years as crusaders in the Holy Land have at last returned to their native Sweden. A land ravished by the Black Plague.]
there is a scene where a young lady is crazy and speaks of the devil.
she is to be burned to death on a wooden spike.antonius block looks in horror at the scene unfolding before him and relizes she is just
a girl. as the girl panics- antonius block looks into her eyes but knows he is can not save her.
at that moment the squire looks at antonius block and asks "where is your god now to save her - or is there only an empty sky we pray to?"the scene is unreal

"Here's looking at you, kid."
"Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!"
Hi all - never forget the first time I saw this as a kid, thinking 'oh my God, he's screwed!'
And, still on the sci-fi tip, how's about 'Here, Jonesy.......Jones?....meeow!', and then you see what's dropped to the floor behind him :-O This may have been helped by the fact that I actually MET Alien at an H. R. Giger exhibtiton in Prague last year while on honeymoon, and believe me I know EXACTLY how the Nostromo crew felt!!!
Love to all,
Andy.

Tho I be a lad of Irish descent, it brings tears to my eyes.

May seem weak, but the "jump" scene by Alan Arkin in Wait Until Dark is still the only time in my 57 years that I cried out in a movie.
He's priceless in 'In-Laws'...Serpentine Sheldon.....SERPENTINE! Highly underrated comedy.

Anyone remember "El Cid"? The sunrise scene where, after a night in the stable the banished Heston opens the barn door to find half of Spain waiting outside to follow him. I wish they'd remaster El Cid on DVD. It was a truly spectacular 70mm film!
Here are a few of my favorites (from Hollywood made action films);
1. French Connection-Hackman chasing the Frenchmen (F. Rey-Frog 1) through the subway, finishing with the finger wave, and frogman escape. Breathtaking.2. The Wild Bunch-The chase which ends in the slow motion bridge explosion, and all the men and horses into the river. I think Holden gives R. Ryan a wave, before the explosion.
3. Bullitt-Steve McQueen chasing from the bad guy from the airliner, onto the airport tarmac, and then back into the terminal (McQueen doesn't even draw his handgun until he reenters the terminal!). Wow!
These aren't even the "marquis," show stopping scenes in the films. I just thought they were great, exquisitely produced set pieces. I could think of a hundred more. Love this forum.
...the one in the Bourne Supremacy was pretty good...
X-men 2, Nightcrawler whipping around the oval office and taking out about a dozen special agents before jumping on the prez. Hard to beat the X-men flicks for eye candy, can't wait for X3(May 26th).
Toward the end there is that scene where Brando/Rio is trying to get the gun on the table plus the subsequent scene where he bluffs Pickens/Lon.
as shameful as this may sound, the only one i've ever seen with him in it is Superman. I saw a few bits of Godfather many many moons ago but I can barely remember it. That's on the top of my 'movies to see' list. NO WAIT, I saw 'Apocalypse Now' too, but that's it, never saw any of his good ones.
One Eyed is a good place to start! nt
~AH.
"One Eyed Jacks" is the only film Brando directed. he took over after Stanley Kubrick left to direct "Sparatacus". He way overshot and turned in a five hour film. The studio yook it over and reshot Brando's original ending.
Blues Brothers, after Elwood first picks up Jake, the first thing he asks about is the car. The whole scene is great, but when Jake lights his cigarette with the car's cigarette lighter, then throws it out the window:"What do you say, is it the new bluesmobile or what?
"Fix the cigarette lighter."
/*Music is subjective. Sound is not.*/
Humor: Airplane 2, where the priest is reading 'Altar Boy' magazine, then turns it sideways like he's looking at a centerfold, it brings me to tears.Scary: That dead girl in the closet in 'The Ring' really really gets to me, and before that it was the scene in 'Exorcist 3', where the killer walks out of the hospital room with the big shears JUST AFTER the nurse closes the door, and goes right up to her neck, followed by the view of the headless statue.
Cool: One camera shot in the opening sequence in Terminator 2 with the huge futuristic battle scene that had soldiers, vehicles, flying ships and lasers galore, very well done(Cameron should do more scifi). Followed by the Magneto escape scene in X-men 2 where he trashes the plastic cell. Come on, that was just downright cool.
I know everyone else is going to list things from films like Godfather or Citizen Kane, but we have to give recognition to the fun movies too! Actually there are so many good scenes, one could sit all day working on a list, not mention the dozens you could get from Kubrick alone(like Wendy reading all the 'all work and no play' sheets with the creepy music and Jack sneaking up on her).
and the Terminator 2 battlefield scene, it's just too obvious that the "distance" is back-projected ( apologies for being so damned anal )My favorite scene is in Midnight Cowboy when Hoffmans character picks a guys pocket as he's getting into a NY cab, strikes a match on the cabs roof to light a cigarette butt, then flips the bird as the taxi drives off. It's little more than an eye-blink long but it's a gem and so in-character for the part he plays
Like watching a professional athlete score a perfect "10" in an Olympic eventGrins
better than the one in T1 where the semi tanker explodes. I'm guessing they've gotten better at that effect in recent years.
Yeah, but there's a HUGE difference in budget between these two films; I'm sure no-one was expecting T1 to become as big as it did
It certainly put James Cameron on the mapGrins
