Matok Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yes, i am talking of the type of scenes which burns themselves onto your memory and doesnt leave you years after you saw the movie. Well...i found 3, might find more later [hide=WARNING] Full Metal Jacket - Stanley Kubrick sad ("this is my rifle") and another one: Full Metal Jacket - Stanley Kubrick always makes me laugh ("me love you too much") Emir Kusturica - time of the gypsies beautiful [/hide] post yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker6 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I'm not sure if anybody will know what I'm talking about but I might aswell post it. In the movie The bridge on the River Kwai where Alec Guiness kills the man sent to blow up the bridge then realising what he has done runs towards the plunger and falls on it blowing the bridge. That kept me up all night thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satenza Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The sene between Orson Welles and Joesph Cotton in Reed's "The Third Man" Click Edit: And it's "Goodfellas" not "Goodfellows". With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost-Knigth Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Psycho - by Alfred Hitchcock: the murder of the young woman in the shower. Saving Private Ryan - Steven Spielberg: D-Day - this scene is just brilliant. Shows the insanity perfectly. 28 weeks later - don't know the director: the infected woman is killed by her husband, he thrusts out her eyes and there is blood all over the place. 99 ranged | 99 magic | 99 defence | 99 hitpointsRemember, it's just a gameFeel free to add me on RS. :) Always ready for a chat.

Ok that's cool, two people know what I'm talking about :D For effect I like it when the doctor runs down the slope saying "Madness" as the camera pans away. The last 20 minutes of that film build up so much emotion and tension for the characters it got me more into any other film I have watched. I've always wondered if Alec fell on purpose or if he just faints on it. I like to think it's the former but I'm not 100% sure...Man it's got me thinking now, I'm gonna watch it again tonight.

Led-Zeppelin Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Pulp Fiction - The scene in the car when Vincent is talking about the Quarter Pounder wit' cheese, some of the best dialogue ever! Saving Private Ryan - When the guys mate is upstairs getting stabbed, and hes standing in the stairwell frozen with fear, then the German walks down the stairs right passed him. American History X - The scene where Derek comes out when the guys are trying to steal his car, chilled me to the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 the part in Requiem for a dream, where the refrigerator comes alive and the old lady gets freaked out from taking to many pills. i couldn't find a clip, but if you've seen the movie you know what im talking about. also the part in shawshank redemption, where the one prisoner moves into the half-way house where the old librarian hung himself, and left his name carved in the beam.

indy500fan Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 All I could think of were generic ones (Star Wars- Luke, I am your father type) that almost everyone would know. I did however just think of one that only a few people on this board probably would know. Fanny och Alexander - the "God" puppet scene, freaked me the hell out because it was done so well.

Brandon_7 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The only one that I can remember right now is a scene from the Silence of the Lambs. Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lecter) talking to Jodie Foster (Clarice Starling). Quite a memorable movie quote. Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The bit in American History X when Ed Norton forces a man to bite a road curb, then stomps on his skull. That was brutal. So much so, that they never show it on TV... just on DVD. Another one... when I was really young (like 10 or something), I watched Best of The Best. At the end when they're handing out medals and Dae Han steps forward and offers himself as a brother to Tommy Lee... that was a really powerful moment for me for some reason. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrazotis Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The bit in The Shawshank Redemption where he finally gets out of the surrige pipe and starts washing in the river, when he finally gets out and a question, what is American History X coz its on foxtel at the moment and i was wondering what it was about thanks to mitsubishi64 who made this sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfilc23 Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 - Several scenes in Falling Down (one of my all-time favs). The convience store scene when Douglas' character first start losing it. Also, the fast food restaurant scene..."but I want breakfast" - When Mel Gibson's char in Conspiracy Theory is getting brainwashed with his eyelids taped open and he bites off Patrick Stewart's nose, trying to escape while tied to a wheelchair.

That kept me up all night thinking about it. I know the one you mean because I just finished watching it. It's a great ending to the film because you're unsure if he meant to blow up the bridge or not. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanosauromo Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 The Two Towers - When the Ents begin their march on Isengard. That music is awesome. The Return of the King - Lighting of the beacons. The cinematography is outstanding, and the music is the best in the trilogy. Saw - The very end, when the "dead" guy gets up off the floor and reveals that he's Jigsaw. Definately a "WTF??" moment. School of Rock - The "My brain is hanging upside down" montage. 300 - "THIS! IS! SPARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!" You only have to type four extra keys for me to not think "ur" an idiot.solardeathray.teensupergenius.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumpta Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 These kinds of topics kill me. Really. I'm just going to stick to the one scene. In the Name of the Father - the scene where the prisoners set fire to a scrap of paper and let it fall down through the bars of their jail windows in honour of Giuseppe. It sounds cheesy, but I remember how the image of those little lights twirling down in the dark really really got me when I watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satenza Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I remember that scene, i love Daniel Day-Lewis in that film. And your signature has reminded me of another of my favourite moments. The fight off between the German and French national anthems in Ricks Bar, exceptional scene. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life.

dwarfdude3 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Lord of the Rings has a ton of those kinda scenes. And I also like V for Vendetta's opening, as well as its conclusion are both awesome. Though I cannot decide between these two for my favorites: The ending of The Matrix Revolutions The ending of Donnie Darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I have no idea why this is but: The scene in Babel where the Japanese girl (Cheiko?) is in the club with all the lasers and everyones going nuts and she can't hear a thing. IIRC there's a strobe light effect and you just see bits and pieces of what's happening...I have no idea why, it's neither my favorite movie nor scene (though I do like the movie and really do like the scene) but that scene is 'etched into memory' like this is about.
