I agree with 6 and 9. My top three are: Midnight Express - when Billy starts walking the other way to all the prisoners in that circle thing (such great description - Barry Norman just cacked his pants) It's the point of the film where Billy 'finds himself again' in my opinon (in fact every scene in that film is a winner) Gone with the wind - 'I'll never go hungry again' scene where Scarlett takes the mud in her hand and begins her vow of survival (now that was girl power) Donnie Brasco - When Al pacino says goodbye to his loved one and removes his watch etc to go to meet his death. It makes me sob so much that I can't breathe. Sometimes simple human gestures give a film their moment of viewing gold. |

Good thread! There's not many there you can argue with tho 1,2,4,7 are really great moments and 5 and 6 are truely classic scenes. I'd add.... Heat - the scene in the diner when Pacino and De Niro are having a face to face.....wow! The Matrix - the slo-mo gunfight scene in the lobby of the office block....watch that and hear the sound on a really decent surround sound system...its like you are actually inside the scene Memento - so many great scenes, but the moment Natalie turns on Leonard in her appartment and tells him she's gonna use him - first time I saw that in the cinema you could almost hear the entire audiences jaws dropping simultainiously Jarhead - the scene in the burning oil field with the lone horse coated in oil Fifth Element - when Leeloo does a leap of faith off of the ledge of the high rise building.....visually stunning Where do you end tho....Full Metal Jacket....Star Wars.....so many great movie moments..... |

Ooooo...nearly forgot....the scene that nearly always brings me to tears... Gallipoli - just before the ANZAC soldiers go over the top for the last time, they are all silently taking off wedding rings, keepsakes and writing letters to loved ones, and pinning them to the sides of their trenchs cos they know they are all about to die.... brings home the futillity of war to me and just the complete waste of human life....cue lump in throat... |
