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

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.

"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.

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.

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..

SPOILERS GALORE- Lots of movies here

Lost in Translation- Bob and Charlotte singing kareoke, and the last scene where Bob says something to Charlotte that we can't hear.

The Godfather Part 2: "I know it was you Fredo, you broke my heart, you broke my heart *kiss of death*" + The last scene, after Michael's flashback to when the family was all gathered together for Vito's birthday, Michael is alone, having ostracised or killed everyone close to him.

Kill Bill- The anime sequence

Godfather Part 1- Almost every scene with Brando, the opening scene with Bonasera sticks out. The scene where Sonny shot gets shot to pieces.

Forrest Gump= The opening scene, when the feather floats down and Forrest picks it up.

In the Mood for Love- When Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung's characters rehearse Maggie's confrontation with her husband

Chunking Express- Every scene with Takeshi Kaneshiro, particularly the scenes when he talks about the pineapples. The last scene, where Leung's character meets up with Faye Wong's character again.

Casablanca- "Sing the Marseillaise ", "Play it Sam, for old time's sake", The last scene, from Rick's farewell with Ilsa to "This could be the beginning of a beautiful new friendship"

It's a Wonderful Life- Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart singing "Buffalo Girl Won't You Come Out Tonight (name of song"?, and of course the last scene

Fallen Angels- When Michelle Reis's character meets up wtih Takeshi Kaneshiro's character at the end and When Kaneshiro's father watches his tape

Dr Strangelove- Every scene with George C Scott, ending sequence

Say Anything- When Diana and Lloyd are talking in the café and they agree to be 'friends, with potential'

Chasing Amy- When Hooper gives his hilarious black power speech at the start, also the climax where Holden suggests wa 3some between Banky and Alyssa

Alexander- I've only seen this once so I don't remember the details.. but the scene where Alexander's army is being defeated by the war elephants in India. The camera work here is jaw-droppingly cool

Breakfast at Tiffany's- Tiffany talking to Paul talk after Tiffany sneaks into his room at the start.

Donnie Darko- "Mad World" montage
