Favourite Film Moments (bound to be spoilers)

Originally posted by Cerek the Barbaric: <font color=deepskyblue><font color=white>The 13th Warrior</font> - When Antonio Bandaras "learns" the Vikings language simply by watching them and listening to them. Also when he figures out the truth about the "fire dragon". The final battle is one of the best from any movie. </font>

That movie has several good scenes but two of my fave lines are-
"Give an arab a sword and he makes a knife"
"Can I give your sword to my daughter when you die?"

[lucius tiberus maximus]

The battle of helms deep in LOTR the two towers, The first battle in the Gladiator and the third battle in the mesinger

[Nanobyte]

Originally posted by Spade: </font> The scene in Memento when Lenny thinks he's chasing someone but he's actually the one being chased. Lenny: [Running] Okay, what am I doing? [Sees Dodd also running] Lenny: I'm chasing this guy. [Dodd has a gun, shoots at Leonard] Lenny: Nope. He's chasing me.</font>

That movie is one in a million.
Let's see, what else..

When Willis saves the two kids in Unbreakable.
Seeing the silhouette standing on the barn, the leg in the corn, and the quick glimpse in the home video in Signs.
The scene where the wall crumbles, revealing a Nazi relay station, and the last battle of Saving Private Ryan.
The Vietnam depiction in Forest Gump.
All of Black Hawk Down.
The bear in the cabin scene of The Great Outdoors.

That's all I can think of for now.

Another one to add: The end to Quigley Down Under ("I said I never had a use for them. I never said I didn't know how to use them.").

<font color=deepskyblue>THAT was an absolutely CLASSIC line!!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I actually had a feeling something like that was going to happen when he first told Alan Rickman he didn't have any use for pistols. I didn't know how it would work back into the story until the final scene was set up....then I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen and what he was going to say.....but it was still priceless.</font>

Quigley Down Under-- Tom Selleck is getting ready to show how well he can shoot. Everybody's watching Marston's hired hand riding down the road with a bucket. One of the girls asks Crazy Cora if 'her man' can hit something that far off. Her answer: "I don't know him".

The Highlander TV series-- Duncan agreed to have a gypsy fortune teller read his palm. She looked at his hand, screamed, and backed away 'cause his lifeline was up to his elbow...

The Legend of 1900-- playing the piano onboard a luxury liner during a storm & rolling all over the ballroom. Also the showdown between 1900 and Jelly Roll Morton.

The Usual Suspects-- when Verbal walks out of the police station at the end.

Ronin-- the car chase that finally replaced "Bullitt", imo.

[VulcanRider]

Naturally, as soon as I hit send, more pop into my mind...

Rob Roy-- when Rob almost breaks Tim Roth's neck by looping a rope around it & jumping off a bridge, then has to hide inside a dead cow...

Highlander I -- Conner & Heather growing old together.

The Italian Job-- when the truck carrying the safe drops through the street, & the hole gets covered with a big steel plate. "WHERE THE F*** IS MY TRUCK!?!?"

Heat-- Robert DeNiro is talking to Jon Voight. JV: "This guy wants to meet with you. Says he's got a big score he'll share." RD: "Why do I need his score? I got my own scores." JV:"He says it'll clear low eight figures." RD: "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

[Faceman]

The Big Lebowski: John Goodman shouting at the waitress, The first scene at the dude's apartment, John Goodman pulling the gun at the Bowling alley, ...
Donnie Darko: The Smurfette dialogue
Indiana Jones and the holy Grail: "This belongs in a museum", "He chose poorly", They come through doors father" and "We named the dog Indiana"

[Daniel_M]

For me it had to be these ones:

The Excorcist -
Regan MacNeil: I'm not Regan.
Father Damien Karras: Well, then let's introduce ourselves. I'm Damien Karras.
Regan MacNeil: And I'm the Devil! Now kindly undo these straps!
Father Damien Karras: If you're the Devil, why don't you make the straps disappear?
Regan MacNeil: That's much too vulgar a display of power, Karras!

Snatch -
Avi: London.
Bodyguard: London?
Avi: London.
Gemologist: London?
Avi: Yes, London. You know: fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary f*****g Poppins...LONDON!

Braveheart - "They will never take out freedom" speech

Ocean's Eleven -
Saul: I have a question, say we get into the cage, and through the security doors there and down the elevator we can't move, and passed the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can't open...
Rusty: Without being seen by the cameras
Danny: Oh Yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that
Saul: ...Yeah well say we do all that.. uh.. were just supposed to walk out of there with $150,000,000 in cash on us, without getting stopped?
Danny: Yeah
Saul: Oh, ok.


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest -
[The inmates are playing cards and betting with cigarettes.]
Martini: [rips a cigarette in half] I bet a nickel.
McMurphy: Dime's the limit, Martini.
Martini: I bet a dime.
[Puts the two halves onto the table.]
McMurphy: This is not a dime, Martini. This is a dime.
[shows a whole cigarette]
McMurphy: If you break it in half, you don't get two nickels, you get s**t. Try and smoke it. You understand?
Martini: Yes.
McMurphy: You don't understand.
