Your favourite film scene?

Question

whats your favourite film scene and why?

for me, its the Red door that stands out, even in the pouring rain from American Beauty.
its Beautiful

Answer 1

Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King -

Where Legolas kills that big elephant thing, jumps off and Gimli shouts "THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE" lol that gets me every time, its funny

And when Eowyn kills the Dark Rider, He says "NO MAN CAN KILL ME" They have a fight, the hairy hobbit stabs him in the back and she says "I AM NO MAN" and stabs him in the face.

BRILLIANT!!!

The Green Mile

The man who plays jon coffee should of won an oscar, one of the best films ive ever seen 10/10

Answer 2

I can't decide, There's a few, I like Disney's Classics mostly,

In LOTR I agree with stormcrow, that I AM NO MAN and the STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE scenes are really good, love them, and also the final, when Aragorn kisses Arwen, best movie kiss I've seen, sweet, but not cheese. : )

Disney's Beauty and the Beast: This has been my favourite film since I was a kid, ( Yes, I'm 22) The final scene when the beast turns into a man ( a very hot man by the way) Is just perfect, typical of Disney magic , I hated the Shrek people making fun of it, and back then they didn't have all the technology Shrek people had, and the colours and the movement still look better, they were one of the first teams to combine computer tools with animation, like the ball scene

And the Little Mermaid, again the final when her father lets her be human awww, its just another Disney classic, perfect.

Answer 3

Omg, there's so much...

1. Dawn of the Dead by George A Romero: When Stephen is attacked by the zombies in the elevator and when the elevator door opens he's a zombie. Freakin scary.
2. Pulp Fiction: When Jules and Vincent go to Jimmies house and Jimmies all pissed off at them cause they stowed a dead body in his garage. Freakin funny.
3. Saving Private Ryan: Beginning war sequence on the beachside. Freakin intense.
4. Reservoir Dogs: The conversation scene in the restaurant at the table when their talking about Madonna and tipping the waitress.
5. Scarface: The ending. The big standoff.
6. Platoon: The part when the guy is running through the field and he's being shot at and the bullets was peircing every parts of his body and he keeps on running.
7. Raising Arizona: when Nicolas Cage's character is being chased after through a house and supermarket and through the streets. Very engaging and funny.
8. National Lampoons Vacation: Everything.

Answer 4

A tough question as I have a few favorite films...

I will say it is the scene in the music shop in Before Sunrise...when Julie and Ethan Hawke are listening to a very romantic love song while standing near each other in a listening booth. The looks they give each other, intercepting one another's glance, looking away in embarassment or whatever they were feeling.

The film was the best date movie/relationship movie I've ever seen and it was very "unHollywoodlike" in other words, it was realistic - enjoyable. The sequel Before Sunset was almost as good but somewhat "tacky".

Answer 5

In The Replacements (and I am not a big K Reeves fan) when they are in the jail and the black guy start singing that song (can't remember the name) "So on now go...walk out that door...your not welcome any more...I should have changed the (something) lock, I should have change the key..." At first the other players are pushing him away then they all start dancing. When the coach comes to bail them out they all stop except the deaf guy cause his back is to the coach.
Also in Mystery Alaska when Little Richard sing the National Anthem so slow, the NY Rangers are shivering, then goes on the sing the Canadian National Anthem.

Answer 6

I have so many fave scenes but I saw one of them the other night. It is from Chariots of Fire when Eric Liddell (Ian Charleston) has to go into the Royal Chambers to defend his decision not to run on the Sabbath during the Paris Olympics. It is brilliant! So tense and dignified. It brings a tear to your eye - particularly knowing that dear Ian is dead now and died in such agony. All the posh people in the scene are gits and you want to strangle them. Colin Welland wrote that scene with real passion.

Answer 7

I have 5.

Blazing Saddles - The Toll Booths scene, and when Bart arrives to Rock Ridge as the new sheriff.

Airplane! - The disco scene

National Lampoons : Animal House - The part where Bluto smashes that guys guitar and the Toga Party

All because they make me laugh so hard.

Answer 8

Its A Wonderful Life when James Stewart finally gets back home to his family and all the neighbours and townspeople are there to save the day awwwwww!

Failing that just about every scene in Goodfellas!

Answer 9

The continuous deaths of the rival gangsters intersparsed with a baptism in The Godfather. It's very dramatic and powerful. It has a lot of contrast between scenes and it is a very climatic moment.

When Lya Lis sucks the toe of a statue in Buñuel's "L'age d'or". Strange but powerful erotism.

Answer 10

I could never pick just one, but here's one that could slip through the cracks: in Sideways, the scene where Miles is having dinner with the other three characters. It's simple, but the way it's edited is beautiful--and ends with the famous "drink and dial" scene. Others are more famous, this one more subtle.

Answer 11

Blade Runner, Rutger Hauers' replicant has just saved Harrison Fords' bounty-hunter from falling off the building, hauling him up with one arm. We anticipate a slower, more miserable death for Harrison. Rutger leans in, and tells him :

"I've, seen things, that you people, wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire, off the shoulder of Orion, I've watched sea-breams glimmer in the dark, 'neath the Tannhauer Gate. But all these moments, will be lost in time, like tears, in rain. Time to die".

And we think Harrison is going to get horribly torn to pieces by Rutger, but instead, Rutgers' life has slipped away, and he valued life so much in those final moments, to save the man who would kill him.

Intense...
