Favourite Scenes

[Keef]

Does anyone remember those Stone Age days when you couldn't just find any clip or song you wanted and instantly post it to your acquaintance? How DID we cope?

Moos wrote the above after posting a link to THIS.. From that film, I actually like This One.

Anyway, thought I'd start a new thread for people to post favourite scenes, be they funny, romantic, scary, whatever.

[mockney piers]

Good call Keef, and yeah moos, no wonder I'm so scatty these days, instant dictionaries, wiktionaries, imdb, all music guide, mobile phones with contacts, we just don't ahve to bother remembering anything anymore!!!!

Anyhoo, stromtrooper with a sore head

[ratty]

The Hitchiker bit in There's Something about Mary when Ben Stiller is being interviewed by the old bill - Hillarious!

[Keef]

I love all the Barber Shop scenes in Coming to America.

Here you go ratty.

Oh, and a classic from Cool Runnings.

[david_carnell]

Cool idea.

May I offer some men in leather vests being chased by men with painted faces dressed as baseball players.

The awesome Warriors vs Baseball Furies.

The whole film is a cult classic.

[Keef]

What is that from David? Is there a computer game based on it?

[david_carnell]

It's a 70s film called The Warriors about a gang from Coney Island forced to make their way home across the 5 Boroughs and fight loads of other gangs on their way. It's marvellous. And yeah, I think they did do a game of it. No idea if it's any good though.

[Jah Lush]

Nice one David. I remember going to see that at the flicks when it came out. I still have the single of that track. It's by Barry De Vorzon or something like that. Top tune.

[david_carnell]

Blimey Jah. On the assumption you didn't look that up like I just had to, that's some encyclopedic knowledge. Mr Devorzon did most of the instrumental tracks by the looks of things.

I suppose I should post this as well, given it's one of the few songs I can recite off by heart from one of my favourite movies:

The Big Lebowski - Just Dropped In...

Although, tbh, I could just post every scene from the film.

[Jah Lush]

Eddie and I have a lot in common.

[Brendan]

I have a heart condition!

I wanna dance!

[annaj]

Weirdly I can only find mine in spanish...

Sentimental nonsense, but I just love it.

Makes me cry every time.

[Brendan]

Weeeeeeeeee

[david_carnell]

Never has a man in a grubby grey tracksuit being surrounded by kids and getting very sweaty seemed less creepy than it sounds!

[SeanMacGabhann]

speaking of crying - this poignant scene between Tom Conti and Beat Takeshi (later to go on and make cracking films such as Hanna Bi) gets me every time -set a few years after the events of the film

Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence ending

[david_carnell]

Wow.

Cultural admission time - I've never seen that. Just read the wiki entry though and can't believe it's not appeared on my radar. Powerful stuff. War films are always a bugger for making me cry. But this, from a popular tv show had the same effect:

ER Season 8 Episode 21

God, I'm such a woman!

[Keef]

I wanna dance!

Me too!

[Keef]

Film that has probably rung a few bells with a lot of blokes if they're honest. Did with me!

[Marmora Man]

No list of great scenes can exclude this one:

Le Marseillaise

[bignumber5]

For pure mouth open staring in disbelief: look here... admittedly makes bugger all sense if you haven't seen the rest of the film.

For everything else, i've just spent ages flicking thru clips from my favourite film of all time and i can't decide on a best clip. too many.

This? So if anyone hasn't seen Shawshank, do so. save me agonising!

[annaj]

From Dirty Dancing (widely dismissed as a mindless chick flick, but in fact a beautiful coming of age film full of social and political subtext. And dancing) my favourite ever

scene.

*whispers*

It's on fiver right now if anyone wants to catch that last dance.
