what's your favorite scene(s) from a movie.

i think one of my all time favorite scenes from a movie is this one from "full metal jacket."

so many good lines:

"you had best unfuck yourself or i'll unscrew your head and shit down your neck!"

"you don't scare me, work on it."

"sir what? were you about to call me an asshole?"

"did your parents have any children that lived?"

anyways. tell me about yours.


kerble where necessary, void where prohibited.

The scene at the well from Lawrence of Arabia.

The final sprint to the finish of the Little 500 in Breaking Away.

Drug deal gone bad in Boogie Nights, as well as the whole New Year's party.

Birthday party video in Signs.

Train scene from The Sting.

Long chase in the mountains in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Slim Pickens riding the bomb in Dr. Strangelove, and George C. Scott's "frying chickens in the barnyard" speech.

Last scene, no dialogue, in the kitchen in Big Night.

Every scene Jeanine Drynan is in in Muriel's Wedding.

Last little bit of Secretary, their happiness.

First scene with Don Logan at the villa in Sexy Beast, and the scene with Ian McShane and Ray Winstone at breakfast.

Shawn's second trip down the shop in Shawn of the Dead.

The last scene in Exotica with Bruce Greenwood and Mia Kirshner.

The Chris Walken/ Dennis Hopper scene from True Romance. I love that part.

the last duel from sanjuro
the fight in the stable from high noon
bit where the light shines on harry lime's face and he smiles in the third man

That one scene in Cool Runnings when Sanka Coffie (played by Doug E. Doug) says "I am feeling very Olympic today, how about you?"
That scene makes all the stuff you guys said look like crap.

one of my faves from Rushmore-

"So what's with the nurse's outfit guy?"

"Actually, these are my OR Scrubs."

"Oh. Are they?"

another is the swordfight that never happened in Raiders of the Lost Arc

The discussion of toes in the diner between Walter and the Dude in the Big Lebowski.

The scene in Miller's Crossing where Tom is about to get beat up by Casper's henchman, but he hits the biggest one with a chair first.

The scene from Sword of Doom when Ryunosuke leaves the town after killing in a fencing match and has to fight his way out. Then, the sword fights in the snow against Toranosuke Shimada.

The scene from Caddyshack where Carl is holding a pitchfork and telling a story about driving the Dali Llama in his taxi.

train car scene in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. i really love the shot where leland palmer is walking the two girls to the train car, where he's holding a flash light. it seems like they lit the shot by shining a flash light right back at him. hoping to have a friend blow that shot up really big and silkscreen it.

lots of stuff from 2001

the chapter from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams with the guy walking through the Van Gogh images. Nice piano music accompaniment.

i don't remember the "scene" exactly, but that one shot in The Holy Mountain where there are rotating screaming kittens coming out of a woman's breasts is really great.

Coronation

Revelation

A pair of awesome nerd scenes:

When Yoda lifts Luke's X-Wing out of the swamp in Empire Strikes Back. Still gives me chills.

Spock's death scene in Star Trek II is pretty emotional.

In not-nerd news, the entire ending musical number of Hedwig and the Angry Inch always makes me weepy.
