It's brilliantly done. Sets the tone of the movie so well.Usivius wrote: Monty Python in Search of the Holy Grail: The opening bit when Arthur rides up to the first castle and they begin their argument about the coconuts. Absolutely hilarious!
I LOVE that movie.dlbpharmd wrote:Great movie - I like how the transition is made from speaking Russian to English, it's very effective.Hunt for Red October: "One ping only." That point of no return, as it were. You gotta love Sean Connery.

aw yeah! good one!!! the ONLY thing i've ever liked this actor in!!!Brinn wrote:Daniel Day Lewis screaming at Madelaine Stowe "Stay Alive....Just stay alive! I will find you!" in the Last of the Mohicans.
I love Mohicans, and I'm particularly fond of the soundtrack as well, it's outstanding - but Fist, the scene you're describing.....it makes me cringe every time I watch the movie (I have the special edition on DVD.) That kind of markmanship is IMPOSSIBLE with a smooth bore musket.Fist and Faith wrote:Hey, that reminds me of another fav of mine. When what's his name runs from the fort, just running as fast as he can, not looking around or trying to defend himself, while the two are shooting would-be attackers as they approach the runner. Very cool!!

And I want to add Khan's death scene. I posted this a while back in the "All Time Favorite Star Trek Moment" thread:Lucimay wrote:Spock's death scene from The Wrath of Khan
Also:ST II -- Khan's final moments of life aboard the crippled Reliant and his last bitter words flung at Kirk and the fleeing Enterprise: "From hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake...I spit my last breath...at thee..." The scene caps a towering performance by Ricardo Montalban as Khan.
ST: TMP -- The melding and transformation of Decker and Ilia/V'Ger is a breathtaking moment and beautifully shot. If cosmic epiphany can be described on film, then ST: TMP does as good a job here as any film can hope to do.
Yes, a transcendant moment. So many favorite Matrix moments to choose from, but I go back to the rooftop scene where the Agent shoots at Neo and bullet-time photography is shown in full glory. This new kind of visual blew me away.Revan wrote:Matrix - When Neo awakes as The One. Absolute class, will live on in my memory for a long time.
Why do you think they call him Hawkeye?!?dlbpharmd wrote:I love Mohicans, and I'm particularly fond of the soundtrack as well, it's outstanding - but Fist, the scene you're describing.....it makes me cringe every time I watch the movie (I have the special edition on DVD.)

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Classic!Apocalypse Now -- Kilgore's copter assault on the village, as Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries blares through the speakers.
Alright, Fi-ust - fair enough.OK, I'm sure it's impossible. But, for me, that's entirely irrelevant. Make believe it's set in modern times, with guns that can shoot that accurately. The mental state of the runner is incredible! He either trusts the snipers so perfectly that he feels no fear; and/or he's sure they'll all soon be dead anyway if he doesn't make it out, and this is the only chance he has. Put aside the fear that they'll miss the next guy in your path, and run on blind faith. It just seems very powerful to me.
oh YEAH!!! excellent movie!!aTOMiC wrote:Matrix and Luci managed to cover most of my favorite moments but there was one that sticks in my mind and was unexpected. Nicolas Cage at the end of Birdy. "Birdy!!!" "What?"
