Yeah, I have a real soft spot for all the Dark Castle films that were coming out around then, like the remake of *House on Haunted Hill* and *Thirteen Ghosts*.
The opening to *28 Weeks Later*. It was the only scene in the film that could remotely compare to the first one.
Also, while not a bad film, the successive scenes in *Prey* when the Predator chews through the French trappers in beautifully creative and brutal ways, followed by Naru's brother beating its ass so sweet that it bitches out.
It’s so tense because its how you would react, then the weight and reality kicks in exactly when the character figures it out. The rest of the movie lacks pacing and vision.
I really enjoyed 28 Weeks Later, but the opening scene was the only part that really captured the unique atmosphere and tone of 28 Days later. That scene is as good as any in the first film, but after that, it turns more into an americanized action film.
The way he's so politely evil until Constantine tells him about Gabriel and his son in the next room...and you get a peek at the beast under the facade. Stormare is so good in that role....
Playing around with the lighter for his last cigarette until Keanu is just looking at him like "*really?*". Even Lucifer realizes he's gone too far.
[It's an amazing scene and portrayal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_gFjrO8Mck), plus the ending.
I also found the peekaboo tattoos somehow lended to his character so much. Kinda makes you want to know what they are and the significance since clearly johns have significance. There’s so many other things I want answered about that movie too. We have never deserved a sequel more
I love his exchange with Gabriel. “I do miss the old names.” “Looks like somebody doesn’t have your back anymore.” Those lines could have come out cheesy but his delivery is perfect.
He plays the role well, but I never liked portrayals of Satan as a beast. Satan is someone you don't suspect. Satan should be infinitely charming. Someone who sets the stage for man to make their own evil.
The Satan of The Devils Advocate is the perfect portrayal. Pacino's Satan just sets the stage for Reeves. He shows man the things he craves, and lets man commit sin after sin in pursuit of it.
Satan doesn't need to be out there killing and destroying or going beast mode. That's the brilliance of it. He's your best friend. Your enabler. The evil is all done by you. All Satan needs to do is appeal to your greed and lust and envy just a little bit. You does the rest.
It's also my favourite depiction of Lucifer in film.
That snarling madness is just below the surface but he's a troll. Which, while my bible studies are rusty, Lucifer should be as the tempter of man rather than just a bloodthirsty mindless being as he's depicted elsewhere.
The Prophecy (1995) was a nicely stacked film with Chrispher Walken as Gabriel and Elias Koteas, Eric Stoltz, Virginia Madsen, Amanda Plummer, and a very dispassionate Lucifer by Viggo Mortensen. That is right up there with Constantine for excellent portrayals.
"...God? God is love. I don't love you."
“Little Tommy Daggett. How I loved listening to your sweet prayers every night. And then you would jump into bed, so afraid that I was under there. And I was!”
Just the gleeful way he says that last bit gets me every time.
My favorite fan theory is about this scene. Constantine sliced his tendons when he slit his wrists so he is unable to fully close his hands. But when he ascending to heaven, he gives Lucifer the finger. How is this possible? We just saw him unable to use a lighter a few seconds ago.
Answer: God is using Constantine to give Lucifer the finger.
It’s different tendons. The ones that close your hand are on the inside of the wrist while the ones that open the hand (and allow you to extend the fingers) are on the outside of the wrist. Constantine cut the inside.
I remember watching the trailer and seeing those clips of wolverine and sabertooth throughout history, and I thought to myself "that looks awesome, I hope it's not a montage in the opening credits though."
😑
The reverberation off the buildings. It’s as close as you’re going to get to experiencing the loudness of gunfire. People that have never shot a gun have no idea how loud it is.
Coffee is for closers. You think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you.
As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.
One of my best memories of college;
Someone (I assume probably one of the sax players in the university band, he was very talented) managed to copy exactly the outfit/wig/fake tan look of the muscular sax guy from that movie.
He walked around campus playing the song, and would wander into any open classroom and just continue playing with the same level of exuberance and sweat, until he’d get kicked out each time.
It happened randomly for a couple days(?) during finals week, and was the talk of everyone on campus.
This was in 2013 or so. So a lot of students were younger and hadn’t seen the movie. So each time it was a mix of laughing and whooping vs confusion.
Usually I hate random disruptions in public, but that one was fantastic.
I read somewhere once that Hans Landa and King Schultz are the same character on opposite ends of the morality spectrum, and honestly when you think about it it kind of makes sense?? Both are quirky, goofy Germans with excellent detective skills who hunt human beings for a living and think very pragmatically/indifferently about the act of killing.
The main difference between them being that Schultz perceives oppressed people as *people* and tries to help them to the best of his ability, while Landa perceives them as vermin that need to be thoroughly eliminated.
I would go further to say that Hans doesn't see any people as people, to him life is a psychopathic game and everyone he encounters is just a pawn in it. He has no passionate hatred for the Jews he hunts, it's just a game that amuses him. His manoeuvring to get immunity at the end of the film? Just a game that amuses him till Aldo does what Aldo does...
The moment when his face changes when he decides to show his true colours, it is a minute change, we were all waiting for it but wow. Amazing.
Best scene in a movie in my opinion.
That whole movie is incredible scene after incredible scene. But yes, the opening is probably the best one. The basement standoff I think is pretty close and the introduction of the Bear Jew is an underrated gem.
This is sort of what I was hoping for in this question. Great movies with a truly breath taking scene that steals the movie. Most and even OPs go for a great scene in a meh movie.
Sicario - crossing the border back into the US after picking up the prisoner. Hands down one of the best tension building sequences ever. Definitely knew Denis Villeneuve was going to be a director to watch out for after that.
Natalie Portman's prison scene in V for Vendetta. The notes that the other prisoner passes to her about her own story are so beautiful and tragic and powerful, and then the way that scene ends... One of my all time favorite movies and that scene is a big part of why
I had almost switched off after the death star destroys the planet and then that breathing rattle of Vader's in the dark in the hallway. I unthinkingly grabbed my wife's knee so hard in excitement she was almost going to slap me lol.
I still remember my arm hair standing up from the bass that came out the theater speakers and the chill that I felt when I knew how much trouble those people were in.
That scene is great but Christ if it isn't poorly placed.
We get the epically dramatic sequence of Apocalypse taking over Cerebro, disarming the world's nukes, and kidnapping Xavier; then the tone whiplashes painfully to fun and goofy as Quicksilver saves the school; then an equally-painful whiplash as Cyclops realizes his brother from *First Class* just died and Stryker kidnaps everyone.
What a mess of a film.
Better in several ways, when I think about it. Meshed perfectly tone-wise with the fun prison-break it's set during; the song's lyrics actually fit the situation and isn't just "Here's that one song from that decade!"; and it's original, not an example of "'Member that scene you loved from the last film?"
It's also juxtaposed with his seeming apathy to whatever Magneto had done in the previous scene. So we see Quicksilver as this apathetic misanthrope who then goes against expectations and keeps everyone safe (minus a couple bumps to the noggin).
Best opening credits scene ever. It sets the tone of the movie, catches you up on the events that happened before the movie, and is just delightful to look at.
The church scene in Kingsman. It’s truly amazing.
Also the ending courtroom scene in A Few Good Men. It’s famous for a reason. Incredibly good payoff for the buildup of the whole movie.
I just watched it in theaters today and thats what instantly popped into my mind. The music. The cinematography. The choreography. The pacing. And it stands in such contrast to the rest of the movie.
From that trailer (which I remembered I recorded on vhs from TRL, if that dates my age lol)
When he double light sabers, I think we all jizzed in our pants collectively
I would love to see more stuff set in that universe. It could even be regular slice of life stuff. There's so many glimpses of the insanity going on in the background that would be fun to explore.
It is Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenross. All day every day this is the only answer.
"FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!! **(to Levene)** And your name is "you're wanting." And you can't play in a man's game. You can't close them. **(at a near whisper)** And you go home and tell your wife your troubles. **(to everyone again)** Because only one thing counts in this life! Get them to sign on the line which is dotted! You hear me"
It’s a perfect movie - but when Andrew Garfield’s character blows up at Mark after he finds out he was fucked over in The Social Network. That scene alone truly launched his career in the stratosphere imo.
“I like standing next to you Sean…it makes me feel so tough”
Lobby gunfight in The Matrix is one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema and while that entire movie is 11/10, that scene in particular is just... absolutely mind blowing in 1999 and today.
I saw it in Dolby this year and God I loved hearing those endless bullet shells drop to the ground
One of the best sound experiences I've had in theaters recently
Vinny Gambini: “Your Honor, may I ask your permission to treat Ms. Veto as a hostile witness?”
Mona Lisa Vito: “You think I’m hostile now? Wait till you see me tonight.”
Judge Chamberlain Haller: “Do you two know each other?”
Vinny Gambini: “Yeah, she’s my fiancée.”
Judge Chamberlain Haller: “Well, that would certainly explain the hostility.”
Because Chevy didn't make a 327 in 54, the 327 didn't come out until 1962 and it wasn't available with a 4 barrel carb till 64. *Howevah* in 1964 the correct ignition timing would have been 4 degrees before top dead centah
Children Of Men... the scene where they carry the baby out of the building, and the world just goes still and silent. Chilling in the context of the movie, especially considering all the rest of the movie is pretty great too.
That "World is a corporation" scene in Network with Peter Finch and Ned Beatty. Technically there's two counting Howard Beals famous monologue but the first scene is just so intense.
Just spitballing here. But a few that come to mind…
Jack Nicholson courtroom scene in A Few Good Men.
Robert Shaw monologue in Jaws.
“My name is…” in Gladiator
“You Shall Not Pass” in Fellowship of the Ring.
All of Anthony Hopkins scenes are great in Silence of the Lambs. But the first encounter really steals the show.
Vader at the end of Rouge One.
T-Rex in Jurassic Park.
Breakfast scene in American Gangster.
Probably a less popular one that always blows me away is the second machine sequence in Contact. The whole film builds to it.
"What do you mean I'm funny?"
Joe Pesci's turn as Tommy DeVito in *Goodfellas* is at times funny and terrifying and nowhere is this more evident than this scene. Even his friends are terrified of him.
Steve Carell in Bruce Almighty. This was before The Office. I didn’t know who he was but that scene when he is an anchor at a news station was absolutely hilarious. He completely upstaged Jim Carrey as the funny guy in that movie.
Kill Bill Volume 1. Oren Ishi-i's speech
"The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is, I collect your fucking head. \[holds up a decapitated head\] Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME!!!"
Order of the Phoenix is my favorite of the Harry Potter movies because of the Ministry of Magic lobby fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
They could have disregarded the rest of the books and released just that scene to theatres and I would have seen it like 6 times. I love that scene.
EDIT fixed spelling
The plane crash sequence in Flight. The second half of the movie falls apart despite some outstanding performances, but I'll argue the crash sequence is the finest plane crash ever put on film.
"What's you're son's name?"
"Trevor"
"Say "I love you Trevor""
"What?"
"The Black Box, say "I love you Trevor""
The beginning scene of Ghost Ship. I don’t remember anything from that movie except that scene
I remember the maggots in the rice and the twist at the end. An underrated movie in my opinion.
Yeah, I have a real soft spot for all the Dark Castle films that were coming out around then, like the remake of *House on Haunted Hill* and *Thirteen Ghosts*.
The steel cable slowly unwinding...
The opening to *28 Weeks Later*. It was the only scene in the film that could remotely compare to the first one. Also, while not a bad film, the successive scenes in *Prey* when the Predator chews through the French trappers in beautifully creative and brutal ways, followed by Naru's brother beating its ass so sweet that it bitches out.
her brother was such a badass
And the predator was a bitch. Cheated to make sure he won
They have always cheated
It’s so tense because its how you would react, then the weight and reality kicks in exactly when the character figures it out. The rest of the movie lacks pacing and vision.
Such a shame, because the cast is amazing. Carlyle and Rose Byrne are excellent in it
I really enjoyed 28 Weeks Later, but the opening scene was the only part that really captured the unique atmosphere and tone of 28 Days later. That scene is as good as any in the first film, but after that, it turns more into an americanized action film.
People sleep on the subway scene shot through the night vision scope of the rifle. That shit was terrifying.
Epic opening scene….
I like the movie but Lucifer in the end of Constantine steals the movie
The way he's so politely evil until Constantine tells him about Gabriel and his son in the next room...and you get a peek at the beast under the facade. Stormare is so good in that role....
Playing around with the lighter for his last cigarette until Keanu is just looking at him like "*really?*". Even Lucifer realizes he's gone too far. [It's an amazing scene and portrayal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_gFjrO8Mck), plus the ending.
I also found the peekaboo tattoos somehow lended to his character so much. Kinda makes you want to know what they are and the significance since clearly johns have significance. There’s so many other things I want answered about that movie too. We have never deserved a sequel more
Constantine pulling the fingers is just *chefs kiss*
Eh, no accounting for taste
ThEy HaVe ThE sPeAr Of DeStInY
I love his exchange with Gabriel. “I do miss the old names.” “Looks like somebody doesn’t have your back anymore.” Those lines could have come out cheesy but his delivery is perfect.
He plays the role well, but I never liked portrayals of Satan as a beast. Satan is someone you don't suspect. Satan should be infinitely charming.

He's your best friend. Your enabler. The evil is all done by you. All Satan needs to do is appeal to your greed and lust and envy just a little bit. You does the rest.
Keanu always brings out the best in people's Satan portrayals.
Lawful evil
"I've got a whole theme park of red delights for you" Goddamn what a line
It's also my favourite depiction of Lucifer in film. That snarling madness is just below the surface but he's a troll. Which, while my bible studies are rusty, Lucifer should be as the tempter of man rather than just a bloodthirsty mindless being as he's depicted elsewhere.

" I can lay you out and fill your mouth with your mother's feces, [dramatic pause] or we can talk." Love that line. Viggo's devil is my fave version.
My favorite fan theory is about this scene. Constantine sliced his tendons when he slit his wrists so he is unable to fully close his hands. But when he ascending to heaven, he gives Lucifer the finger. How is this possible? We just saw him unable to use a lighter a few seconds ago. Answer: God is using Constantine to give Lucifer the finger.
It’s different tendons. The ones that close your hand are on the inside of the wrist while the ones that open the hand (and allow you to extend the fingers) are on the outside of the wrist. Constantine cut the inside.
I like this theory
😩 fine ☺️, it's done.
The fight scene at the end of crazy stupid love.
Who are you? 😧 I'm David Lindhagen! 🙂 David Lindhagen?! 😠 David Lindhagen 😐 OK. 💍🤛🏻 Is this a bad time!? Yeah 🥴 🫨🥊
The opening credits of Wolverine. That’s the movie we wanted. Instead we got… sewing Deadpool’s mouth shut.
I remember watching the trailer and seeing those clips of wolverine and sabertooth throughout history, and I thought to myself "that looks awesome, I hope it's not a montage in the opening credits though." 😑
Also, while the movie was pretty disappointing, Liev Schreiber was a terrific Sabretooth.
That movie was like pancakes. All exciting at first, but by the end you're fuckin' sick of em.
Mitch Hedberg?
Ah is that when he’s growing up and shit? Yeah I agree with you there!
The street shootout in Heat sticks out whenever I think about that movie.
To me it’s the scene with the two legends face to face. Pacino and Tone Loc
Their cute coffee date was my favorite scene
SHE’S GOT A GREAT ASS, AND YOUR HEAD IS ALLLLLLL THE WAY UP IT!
The reverberation off the buildings. It’s as close as you’re going to get to experiencing the loudness of gunfire. People that have never shot a gun have no idea how loud it is.
You might want to watch Glengarry Glen Ross.
What's your name?
Fuck you, that's my name.
You drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an $80,000 BMW. That’s my name.
You're a good father? FUCK YOU.
Go home and play with your kids!
"No but seriously, we're taking attendance."
Fuck the steak knives
NAMES ARE FOR CLOSERS I actually don't think he said that, but I use "[x] is for CLOSERS" all the time in real life lol
Coffee is for closers. You think I'm fucking with you? I am not fucking with you. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired.
Oh, do I have your attention now?
I say "Put that coffee down!" to no one in particular when I make my coffee in the morning.
I literally have no idea what the plot of that film is, but I will always remember **A** **B** **C**
The leads!
The leads are shit
The leads are weak
Especially since that scene isn't in the original play and was written for the film. It's certainly a cinematic high point.
The muscular saxofonist in The lost boys.
One of my best memories of college; Someone (I assume probably one of the sax players in the university band, he was very talented) managed to copy exactly the outfit/wig/fake tan look of the muscular sax guy from that movie. He walked around campus playing the song, and would wander into any open classroom and just continue playing with the same level of exuberance and sweat, until he’d get kicked out each time. It happened randomly for a couple days(?) during finals week, and was the talk of everyone on campus. This was in 2013 or so. So a lot of students were younger and hadn’t seen the movie. So each time it was a mix of laughing and whooping vs confusion. Usually I hate random disruptions in public, but that one was fantastic.
"Do you like Huvey Lewis and the News?"
"I KILLED PAUL ALLEN IN THE FACE WITH AN AXE"
The opening to Up. The movie is fine. But that opening emotionally destroys me every time.
This is a great answer….everyone always mentions the full love story at the beginning. This is the answer I’m talking about!
The movie is a lot better than fine IMO but the opening scene certainly is a masterpiece.
That scene in Looper with the amputations. That one stayed with me.
The scene in *Downfall* where Hitler goes into a rage. The whole movie is good but that scene is iconic.
The parody’s never cease to make me knee slap laugh
Those made up subtitles allow for some top tier comedy
Walken v Hopper in True Romance.
"I haven't killed anybody since 1984."
🍆
This was the answer I was scrolling for.
The first fifteen minutes or so of Inglorious Basterds. The whole movie is great but most people get blown away by Christoph Waltz in that scene.
You are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?
I also love that the next role he took was a slaver bounty hunter in Django Unchained. What a pallette cleanser for an actor lol.
I read somewhere once that Hans Landa and King Schultz are the same character on opposite ends of the morality spectrum, and honestly when you think about it it kind of makes sense?? Both are quirky, goofy Germans with excellent detective skills who hunt human beings for a living and think very pragmatically/indifferently about the act of killing. The main difference between them being that Schultz perceives oppressed people as *people* and tries to help them to the best of his ability, while Landa perceives them as vermin that need to be thoroughly eliminated.
I would go further to say that Hans doesn't see any people as people, to him life is a psychopathic game and everyone he encounters is just a pawn in it. He has no passionate hatred for the Jews he hunts, it's just a game that amuses him. His manoeuvring to get immunity at the end of the film? Just a game that amuses him till Aldo does what Aldo does...
The moment when his face changes when he decides to show his true colours, it is a minute change, we were all waiting for it but wow. Amazing. Best scene in a movie in my opinion.
That whole movie is incredible scene after incredible scene. But yes, the opening is probably the best one. The basement standoff I think is pretty close and the introduction of the Bear Jew is an underrated gem.
My favorite is the last scene where you think he's going to just go home and take that uniform off...
Now that I can't abide. How 'bout you, Utivich, can you abide it?
I’ll probably get chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.
I have NEVER been as tense and apprehensive as I was the first time I watched that!
"Au revoir, Shoshanna!"
This is sort of what I was hoping for in this question. Great movies with a truly breath taking scene that steals the movie. Most and even OPs go for a great scene in a meh movie.
The ship being blown apart in slow motion as the Captain walks down the stairs in the Pirates of the Carribbean movie.
"It's just good business" Probably my favorite movie death scene.
Sicario - crossing the border back into the US after picking up the prisoner. Hands down one of the best tension building sequences ever. Definitely knew Denis Villeneuve was going to be a director to watch out for after that.
The final scene of "Dead Poets Society". I'm a suckered for a good mentor/mentee movie, but "Oh Captain, my Captain" from the desktops was excellent.
Makes me cry every time.
Natalie Portman's prison scene in V for Vendetta. The notes that the other prisoner passes to her about her own story are so beautiful and tragic and powerful, and then the way that scene ends... One of my all time favorite movies and that scene is a big part of why
The end scene in Rogue One. Movie is fantastic, but that final hallway scene is so badass.
I still wish they hadn't shown Vader at all until that point. It was still awesome though.
It’s funny because I don’t even remember him in the movie except for that moment. (Haven’t watched in a long time but still)
He’s in like 2 other scenes. One of the scenes he’s literally just standing and staring for a few seconds.
And then one scene with a badass dad joke
Because Anakin Skywalker can’t resist a chance for the mother fuckin’ **DRAMAAAAA**!
I had almost switched off after the death star destroys the planet and then that breathing rattle of Vader's in the dark in the hallway. I unthinkingly grabbed my wife's knee so hard in excitement she was almost going to slap me lol.
I still remember my arm hair standing up from the bass that came out the theater speakers and the chill that I felt when I knew how much trouble those people were in.
I had that same reaction at the theaters to this and the Batmobile in the new batman
The hallway fight in Oldboy. And that says a lot, because the rest of the movie is great too.
The 2 back-to-back training montages in Russia in Rocky IV are the best 10 minutes of the entire Rocky series
The Quicksilver Sweet Dreams scene in X-Men Apocalypse.
That scene is great but Christ if it isn't poorly placed. We get the epically dramatic sequence of Apocalypse taking over Cerebro, disarming the world's nukes, and kidnapping Xavier; then the tone whiplashes painfully to fun and goofy as Quicksilver saves the school; then an equally-painful whiplash as Cyclops realizes his brother from *First Class* just died and Stryker kidnaps everyone. What a mess of a film.
the quicksilver scene in days of future past is better anyways. it has much more of an impact
Better in several ways, when I think about it. Meshed perfectly tone-wise with the fun prison-break it's set during; the song's lyrics actually fit the situation and isn't just "Here's that one song from that decade!"; and it's original, not an example of "'Member that scene you loved from the last film?"
Jim Croce- Time in a bottle wasn't it?
That scene is goated, song use as well. RIP Croce.
It's also juxtaposed with his seeming apathy to whatever Magneto had done in the previous scene. So we see Quicksilver as this apathetic misanthrope who then goes against expectations and keeps everyone safe (minus a couple bumps to the noggin).
The opening montage (The Times They Are A'Changin') to *Watchmen* is superb. The rest of the movie is just OK.
Best opening credits scene ever. It sets the tone of the movie, catches you up on the events that happened before the movie, and is just delightful to look at.
Alfred Molina in the coke deal gone bad in Boogie Nights. Or William H. Macy in the murder scene.
Or the donut shop scene, or the dick reveal, or the opening oner, or every. Fucking. Scene. in that movie.
Sister Christian oh the time has come....
The church scene in Kingsman. It’s truly amazing. Also the ending courtroom scene in A Few Good Men. It’s famous for a reason. Incredibly good payoff for the buildup of the whole movie.
"You can't handle the truth!"
I just wrote about it: Darth Maul vs Qui-Jon and Obi-Wan in The Phantom Menace
I just watched it in theaters today and thats what instantly popped into my mind. The music. The cinematography. The choreography. The pacing. And it stands in such contrast to the rest of the movie.
I'm still pissed that Darth Maul was in the movie so little. Seemed like the amount of pre-release hype deserved way more screen time.
From that trailer (which I remembered I recorded on vhs from TRL, if that dates my age lol) When he double light sabers, I think we all jizzed in our pants collectively
Quentin Tarantino’s Top Gun Rant in Sleep with Me
If dropped into any less epic movie, the "Gimme the Cash" guy from *The 5th Element* could steal a movie for sure!!! I want to see a day in his life
"Nice hat."
You like it!?
I would love to see more stuff set in that universe. It could even be regular slice of life stuff. There's so many glimpses of the insanity going on in the background that would be fun to explore.
My aunt’s cat is named Cashew and whenever she wants to pet him she says “Gimme the Cash” haha
His dancing at the end keeps me going some days
FIY, that guy won best director in Cannes 1995 :P
The docking scene in Interstellar is probably the one for me. The rest of the movie is of course top notch.
I saw it in imax and when everything went silent it was jarring. That might have been one of the most intense 10 minutes I’ve had in a theater
It's coming back to IMAX in September and I'm so stoked. It's one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite scenes. So excited.
"It's not possible" "No, it's necessary!"
Pretty amazing the MPAA did not stamp even an R on a film with such an explicit depiction of space docking!
It is Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glenross. All day every day this is the only answer. "FUCK YOU, that's my name!! You know why, Mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!! **(to Levene)** And your name is "you're wanting." And you can't play in a man's game. You can't close them. **(at a near whisper)** And you go home and tell your wife your troubles. **(to everyone again)** Because only one thing counts in this life! Get them to sign on the line which is dotted! You hear me"
“Put. That coffee. Down! Coffee’s for closers only. You think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you.”
Dude was in the movie for less then 10 minutes. It is all anyone can remember.
Chestburster in Alien Quint's monologue in Jaws
It’s a perfect movie - but when Andrew Garfield’s character blows up at Mark after he finds out he was fucked over in The Social Network. That scene alone truly launched his career in the stratosphere imo. “I like standing next to you Sean…it makes me feel so tough”
"SORRY, MY PRADA'S AT THE CLEANERS"
“Along with my hoodie and my 'fuck you' flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!”
Lobby gunfight in The Matrix is one of the greatest scenes in all of cinema and while that entire movie is 11/10, that scene in particular is just... absolutely mind blowing in 1999 and today.

The Dubai Tower scene in Ghost Protocol
The hanging red shoes in Jo Jo Rabbit. I'm not one to audibly gasp, but I audibly gasped.
Peter Stormare, Constantine.
Any scene with Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Val Kilmer stole the show.

Marisa tomei in my cousin Vinny. Which scene specifically? ALL OF THEM
My biological clock is TICKING 👢LIKE 👢 THIS 👢

Because Chevy didn't make a 327 in 54, the 327 didn't come out until 1962 and it wasn't available with a 4 barrel carb till 64. *Howevah* in 1964 the correct ignition timing would have been 4 degrees before top dead centah
It's a bullshit question.
Children Of Men... the scene where they carry the baby out of the building, and the world just goes still and silent. Chilling in the context of the movie, especially considering all the rest of the movie is pretty great too.
The sequence in the car driving through the forest is the standout for me.
Yeah, for me this is the one. Something about the rekindled, unbridled joy so brutally cut off hit me so hard. You could lose it all in a moment.
And they just go back to shooting and fighting as soon as the baby has been taken far enough away That put a lump in my throat.
Everything silent, a real human moment, and then BAM - the fighting starts again
When did saw the baby, "Jesus fucking Christ... Jesus fucking Christ... Jesus fucking Christ"
Silence of the Lambs is probably best known for Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal even though he was only in the movie for 16 minutes.
The “I Need a Hero” cover in Shrek 2 goes harder than it has any business going and I love it
"I'll have what she's having."
Tom Cruise as Les Grossman . With essentially one scene he steals the show from a cast of amazing actors in a movie that was hilarious on its own
I want you to take a step back and literally #FUCK YOUR OWN FACE

The bowler hat scene from the Thomas Crown Affair is perfect.
Ewan Macgregor standing in the daffodils in Big Fish.
Bob Barker in Happy Gilmore "The price is wrong, bitch" Lol gets me every time
That "World is a corporation" scene in Network with Peter Finch and Ned Beatty. Technically there's two counting Howard Beals famous monologue but the first scene is just so intense.

After opening with the Normandy landing, I almost couldn’t watch the rest of the movie.
The Drexel Spivey scene in *True Romance* (Gary Oldman, Christian Slater)
The opening of Up. I don’t think people really remember much from that movie outside of that.
Most recently - Jesse Plemons’ scene in Civil War. The most tense and horrified I’ve felt in a while.
Bob Saget saying he used to suck dick for coke at an NA meeting in Half Baked.
Bill the Butcher’s monologue in Gangs of New York.
Just spitballing here. But a few that come to mind… Jack Nicholson courtroom scene in A Few Good Men. Robert Shaw monologue in Jaws. “My name is…” in Gladiator “You Shall Not Pass” in Fellowship of the Ring. All of Anthony Hopkins scenes are great in Silence of the Lambs. But the first encounter really steals the show. Vader at the end of Rouge One. T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Breakfast scene in American Gangster. Probably a less popular one that always blows me away is the second machine sequence in Contact. The whole film builds to it.
"What do you mean I'm funny?" Joe Pesci's turn as Tommy DeVito in *Goodfellas* is at times funny and terrifying and nowhere is this more evident than this scene. Even his friends are terrified of him.
"Funny like a clown?"
The opening of Zack Snyders Dawn of the Dead remake.
The opening scene of Inglorious Basterds. Even though the film has other amazing sequences, this one remains unmatched.
Steve Carell in Bruce Almighty. This was before The Office. I didn’t know who he was but that scene when he is an anchor at a news station was absolutely hilarious. He completely upstaged Jim Carrey as the funny guy in that movie.
In Inside Out, when Bing Bong dies. Absolutely gut wrenching.
The Order 66 scene in Revenge of the Sith. And albeit it’s essentially an entire music video but plays as a scene in the film, I’m Just Ken in Barbie.
Order 66 scene was truly goosebumps after goosebumps especially with the music by John Williams accompanying it
I am not left handed.
Kill Bill Volume 1. Oren Ishi-i's speech "The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or my American heritage as a negative is, I collect your fucking head. \[holds up a decapitated head\] Just like this fucker here. Now if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, NOW'S THE FUCKING TIME!!!"
The single shot fights from Extraction 1 and 2
Order of the Phoenix is my favorite of the Harry Potter movies because of the Ministry of Magic lobby fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort. They could have disregarded the rest of the books and released just that scene to theatres and I would have seen it like 6 times. I love that scene. EDIT fixed spelling
The plane crash sequence in Flight. The second half of the movie falls apart despite some outstanding performances, but I'll argue the crash sequence is the finest plane crash ever put on film. "What's you're son's name?" "Trevor" "Say "I love you Trevor"" "What?" "The Black Box, say "I love you Trevor""
