What is your favourite scene in a Movie?

[Takhisis]

NO, it is just that in Forum Games he was part of the Star Wars Mafia and he played Grand Moft Tarkin.

That is correct, Darth.

 

[classical_hero]

That is Mister Maul to you.

 

[Glassfan]

The ending to the Truman Show...If you have not seen this movie, see it..

Not to mention the splendid Philip Glass sound tract.

One of my favorite scenes was in The Mist, when Bible-thumping dictator Lady gets blown away. People in the audience cheered!

 

[Lord Baal]

In the upcoming Special Edition of RotLA, that scene is edited because George Lucas thought it was unsportsmanlike that Jones shot first:

Excellent work.

That was the best part of the whole movie in my opinion.

My favorite scene has got to be the second to last scene in Children of Men (the one in which they are in the immigrant camp, and they get caught up in the "uprising").

It was absolutely amazing.

 

[kulade]

Clockwork Orange - Singing in the Rain.

I'm not going to link, for obvious reasons.

I always liked the scene when he brought those two girls home and boned them to the William Tell Overture. The use of music in that movie was always stunning.

 

[Smellincoffee]

Patrick Stewart's Scrooge in the graveyard, moving quickly toward personal redemption when he challenged the Ghost of Christmas Yet-To-Come. "Why show me this, then, if I be past all hope? Hah!"

Clockwork Orange - Singing in the Rain.

Really? Favorite scene from any movie ever? It made me want to wriggle uncomfortably. I didn't mainly because I wanted to tell all my friends that I watched a Clockwork Orange without wriggling uncomfortably even once, but I REALLY wanted to during that scene.

Not that I would remove it or anything, it's important and all but....favorite scene ever?

cool scene, but you know the piggie scene is the best.

I won't link it for obvious reasons.

Yeah that was the best scene in a movie full of good scenes.

 

[Serutan]

The scene where Sherriff Bart rides in to town in Blazing Saddles.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I liked the one long shot in that scene (in Children of Men) when they walk out of the apartment building. And there were a couple of other really long shots.

But I have to go with "pretty much everything from Lord of the Rings". My favorite is when the Rohirrim cavalry charged the orcs at Pelennor Fields. Or however it's all spelled. That shot of a wave of horsemen sweeping towards the infantry is awesome.

 

[madviking]

Not really a movie, but the ending to the last episode "Blackadder Goes Forth", where Laurie, Atkinson, et al go over the top and everything goes slow-mo and changes into a field of poppies is very chilling.

Last minute.

That probably qualifies for my Best Scene In Anything Ever, at least when considered in context. It's not even just the tragedy, it's the way that the comedy so subtly and gradually drains from the story as the episode progresses, becoming bleaker and darker, as the underlyng horror of the finale gradually builds up, until the last humour falls away and we are left with a finale which we always knew was inevitable, the weight of which was always there, and we have only just now come to see for all that it is. Even in the last few minutes, the humour becomes almost desperate, as if the characters themselves are actively denying their fate, and- especially knowing the ending- it becomes difficult to produce much more than an awkward chuckle. Certainly, once you hear the command for "one pace forward", you know that we're beyond the pale. It's very telling, I think, that the final joke- "who would've noticed another madman around here"- solicits no so much as a whimper from the audience. And the audible lump in Atkinson's throat as he says "Good luck, everyone"...
I would honestly advise anyone- everyone- to watch the entire episode, or at the very least the last five minutes, and so be able to appreciate the scene for all that it is.

 

[Plotinus]

Yes, a universally admired episode and rightly so.

When people slag off Ben Elton for selling out since, I say he's earned the right.

Apparently some of the elements that add to its power - such as the slow-motion and the poppies - were put in almost as an afterthought. And the birdsong right at the end was chucked in as an after-afterthought. And yet it rounds it all off almost too perfectly.

 

[madviking]

I've always thought that the poppy field was a homage to "In Flanders Fields", the famous WWI poem.

What is your favouriite scene or scens from a mvoie?

Mine would have to the opening scene from The Matrix, where they try and capture Trinity. When I first saw that, I knew I was going to be in for a wild ride.

I like the one from The Spirit when Eva Mendez xeroxs her butt to make a point.

And probably the one from SPR when the sniper gets shot through the scope.
