Favourite Scenes

[citizenED]

I just absolutely delight in this scene from the movie Ratatouille. The music is perfect, the comic timing spot-on, the camerawork (if you get what I mean) is terrific and the expressions exquisite. If you are not turned onto cooking after this, there is no hope.

Making Soup

...cannot find that wonderful scene on the station platform near the end of "The Railway Children" on YouTube! Pshaw!!!

[Keef]

Loving this thread, things I've never seen that I now plan to, including Ratatouille!

Bignumber5, the scene where he plays the opera is one of my favourites.

I'm not (that) ashamed to say that I like Dirty Dancing. It has a wonderful soundtrack, including "Cry to me" by Solomon Burke, (the tune in the scene annaj posted) which is one of my favourite songs (although unfortunately a pretty girl has never asked me to dance to it in an effort to get me in to bed). I also had a childhood crush on "Baby".

It was on one night last week, and amazingly it was the first time Mrs Keef had ever seen it!

Great thread - some hilarious and lovely and bizaaaarrre (yes david_carnell, looking at you) choices

Here's my first offering

[Keef]

SPOILER WARNING!

I loved the Final scene of The Sopranos! Great choice of tune too.

Hope sound okay, have none at work.

If you're feeling a bit down, you know what the Monty Python boys say.....

...."Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition"

I might have

played at my funeral.

Moos, Tune!!!!!!!!!

[LuvPeckham]

Time to Die

Stunning ending for Roy and wish Bladerunner 2 was out now

[Moos]

Talking of choons, here's another corker. I loved this movie. The song at the end is great too.

You Don't Know Me - Meryl Streep in Postcards from the Edge

[cdonline]

The perfect, rainy Sunday afternoon film.

The Way We Were

[Jah Lush]

"I was a wretch headed for a life of drug crime and violence and my Pastor encouraged me to try Stareathon. I struggled at first, but gradually, match by match, I gained the respect of my peers and found my identity. And look at me today. I can make dogs defecate just by staring at them from twenty paces. Stareathon turned me from the dark side. Now I run a thriving dog-walking service. Think again, Bro!"

[Keef]

Lat one from me for a while, finale to one of my favourite films, stunning scene, great sound track, and I was absolutely in love with Jodhi May when I saw this. The look before she jumps... Pretty!

Mohicans!

[david_carnell]

Talking of great soundtracks, Tarantino never did it better than the first attempt:

The opening scene of Reservoir Dogs (needless to say, NSFW, or for those who like Madonna)

[citizenED]

Just love this scene from High Fidelity. Sums up one of those low-key perfect moments that populates people's everyday life.

Perfect Moment in Championship Vinyl

[Keef]

Don't know David, think the soundtrack to Pulp Fiction was every bit as good.

[david_carnell]

Oh great choice Citizen - I LOVE that film.

[citizenED]

I have great affection for High Fidelity too D_C, and found so many reasons why I like it when looking for that clip. Amazed that I even went to see it after the sacrilege of having it set in North America rather than North London! As it happens I actually think its one of those rare cases when the film is better than the book.

You have to go a few times round all the blocks of Edinbrugh in order to better the opening of Trainspotting

[DaveR]

Not the original soundtrack but a great scene: dumpling

[jumpinjackflash]

can't access You Tube from work but here's a few of mine

Pulp Fiction - scene where Vincent takes Mia to his dealer's house after she OD's

Turner & Hooch - scene in car when the mutt and Tom Hanks are on a stakeout and dog is drooling

Goodfellas - 'Shoe shine'/bar altercation

The Exorcist - final exorcism of little girl with the 2 priests

Apocalypto - Jaguar Paw being chased by the other tribe in the jungle

[Keef]

Goodfellas scene you mention is brilliant in a really horrible edgy way!

Excellent call on Pulp Fiction, "that was f**king trippy, hah hah".
