THAT tok my breath away when I first saw it and still gives me shivers with repeat viewings. THE best single performance by an actor in a long time...

I guess, barring that rememberance, one of my favourites that still give me shivers is the Hoola hoop part in "The Hudsucker Proxy" ... the way the music plays and charges with the images in that scene where the company is developing the hoola hoop and its birth, failure and exciting rebirth at the hands (or hips) of one little boy who finds it on the street...

FANTATIC bit of music use and directing.... Coen brothers ... wudya expect...

It's been several years since I saw Immortal Beloved, but I think it was Moonlight Sonata. I think the entire Watch should watch the movie a couple times to make sure. :D

Pink Floyd's Yet Another Movie, after the line, "He's not the worst, he's not the best", there's this killer couple of synth chords that raises the hairs on the back of my neck, and also blew a set of speakers years ago.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.
