I'm with you guys. One of the best endings I've ever seen. When I first caught this film on TV years ago, I was maybe too young to fully comprehend the goings-on, but that ending really got me - the way the camera closed in on his gaping mouth while his bulging eyeballs freaked me out. Looking at this shot, I can see how the sinister-looking trees add to the creepy feel. I assume they're real trees? Which means the filmmakers waited til the right time of year to get the maximum spook factor for that final sequence.Loremaster wrote:Wow. Did you see my post earlier in this thread saying the exact same thing about the movie?Cail wrote:Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the '78 remake.

Chills, I tell 'ya.
Creepiest movie moment ever. I'm serious.
Well, it's one of the grossest film moments I've ever come across, that's for sure. Loved the movie. We all know the chipper is a favorite tool of Cail's.sgtnull wrote:Fargo: the woodchipper.
It's funny, the first film I saw the chipper/shredder being used was some Jackie Chan flick, might have been Rumble in the Bronx. I saw Fargo well after that.
It's such a creative way of removing things.

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Butch and Sundance-Great!!! we all know the scene yes? (i suppose this suggestion makes me a hypocrite in relation to what i just said huh? nevermind)
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

Incredible preformance, great movie. Even though he's not too tall Pacino might by refered to, in the archiac sense, as "a man's man"...or somebody men can identify with at their base level.
But then again Errol Flynn was considered such until we found out he was gay
Gary Grant, gay
John Wayne not much salami in the deli section
Rock Hudson, R.I.P...
Russell Crowe, Marlon Brando and Mickey Rourke...just plain nuts
Thanks gods Harrison Ford has a level head...whew!

yes, its a great scene. original and best. but i saw other court room movies and tv shows before i saw this. christ when i was in my mid teens there was a tv series set almost exclusively in a court room!
it took some of the power of that scene away for me.
