She means the dick right at the end.

there were at least half a dozen single frame dicks in that movie. im just wondering if there was something else about the scene that made it memorable, seeing as i cant actually remember it myself

 

[Monkey Butler]

No there aren't. There's just the one. The rest of the little flashes are of Tyler Durden, and they don't take up the whole screen.

Scarlett's monologue which concludes the first part of Gone With The Wind.

Chaplin's speech at the end of The Great Dictator.

The scene in the cropfields in North By Northwest.

Everything that happens in The Graduate from the moment Dustin Hoffman gets to the church.

Apocalypse Now: Ride Of The Valkyries.

Brazil's final ten minutes from the moment Robert De Niro comes to the rescue.

Magnolia's raining frogs.

The final story in Big Fish.

 

[G-unit Gorilla]

The matrix lobby scene

Pulp fiction - i think its in the car when Samuel L goes 'Im a mushroom cloud laying motherfucker, motherfucker!'

Donnie Darko - the scene where donnie tries to stab the rabbit through that field thing

Predator - where arnie is trying to lure the predator through the spikes....hilarious

Saving Private Ryan - first 20 minutes...

Black Hawk Down - the scene where the two machine gunners are by themselves and he makes him more deaf

My favorite movie seen is in star Wars 2 when all the jedi are fighting the clones

 

[Pierotte]

"Its A SHPADOIKLE Day" singing dancing extravaganza from cannibal the musical hahah kills me everytime....

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

"Where is my mind" scene at the end of Fight Club
The plane scene in Almost Famous
Although the whole movie is beyond brilliant, the bits in Amadeus where old Salieri is in the asylum, talking to the priest about Mozart and God mocking him etc. F Murray Abraham is astounding in this film and watching him makes me shudder.

: 50 first dates, where drew barrymore beats the shit out of rob schneider with a baseball bat. way too funny.
: the notebook, the whole make-out-in-the-rain-and-proceed-to-bang-each-other scene. so what if i'm perverted?
: garden state, where sam forgets to take the hamster wheel out of the cage.
: pretty much any scene in almost famous.

 

[jumb]

Almost Famous, more like Almost Shit.

i love Almost Famous too, my fave scene has gotta be "tiny dancer" on the bus.

any scene in Drowning Mona with bette midler present. (maybe the "shit salad" scene if you guys know what i am talking about)

to the guy who began this thread (sorry forgotten your name), i agree that scene in Royal Tenebaums where he attempts suicide is powerful. in fact, powerful is an understatement. but my favourite scene would have to be margot's trip around the world where she makes out with every guy (and girl for that matter) in every country. the ramones "judy is a punk" (one of my fave songs as well) is playing (suppose that just reveals the power of music in film, hey..). that scene is indescribable.

but the best of all scenes comes from the best film EVER, a clockwork orange...the opening scene where he introduces himself with the haunting funeral music playing in the background. distressing, amazing, eerie, simple, convoluted, ugly and beautiful all at once.

I so toally agree.

 

[babez_hamp]

at the end of 'elizabeth' when she gets all the white make-up and cuts her hair and everything.......gives me goosebumps cause of the music.

 

[Trippendicular]

Apocalypse Now: Ride Of The Valkyries.

For sure, as well as the surfing bit after it. Also, the basketball scene in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest

 

[MissMacbeth]

1: The bloody showdown between The Bride and Elle Driver in Kill Bill 2 *I was feverishly waiting for that!*

(Honorable Mention ~ Just about any Kill Bill scene with the exception of Budd in the strip club...that was stupid)

2: The dance at Jack Rabbit Slims in Pulp Fiction *it is put there so oddly after so much violence*

3: The overdose of Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction *pure reality - a drug overdose occurs and everyone doesn't know what to do....'I gotta stab her three times?? Noo!! and so forth'

4: The showdown between The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in..well just guess the title right at the end....where they are in the triangle....*love the build up*

5: Gene Kelly Sings in the Rain in Singing In The Rain *Always will be my top feel good movie*

6: The Birds decend on the jungle gym silently in The Birds *Again, love the build up and suspence*

Okay...we both know there are heaps more...but too much effort to type.


I think we should rename this post favourite moment in film - most ppl are just saying moments in a movie...not so much a scene which can be like.....5 - 10min..

 

[G-unit Gorilla]

"Its A SHPADOIKLE Day" singing dancing extravaganza from cannibal the musical hahah kills me everytime....

'we can build a snow man, we can build him tall, we can build him small, we can build him not so small!.....BANG!
