I thought it would be interesting for members to post there favourite five movie scenes, and explain why they are there favourite. Please state the movie and put the explanation and what scene it is behind spoiler tags.

1) Let The Right One In:

[Show spoiler]The Blood Kiss and Eli's leaving. The first time I saw this scene I was in tears at the sheer beauty of it. The score that slowly starts to play softly and reaches a crescendo us we cut to Oskar walking back into his apartment is simply mesmerizing. It is also genuinely amazing that they made a blood kiss between two twelve year olds not get laughed at, and rather be genuinely an emotional moment, yet surrounded by sadness as Eli's inevitable leaving is revealed.

2) Lost In Translation:

[Show spoiler]The Unheard Goodbye. By this I mean Bob and Charlotte's goodbye, when Bob says something that is muffled and the audience can't here. I love this scene as the two characters form a relationship that in my mind earns them their own moment that does not need to be heard by anyone to make its emotional punch.

3) La Vie En Rose:

[Show spoiler]The scene where Edith discovers about Marcel fate. This scene is all in one shot, which starts with her imagining Marcel and ends with her walking out on stage. The raw emotion in this scene is simply staggering, and though it is all done in a single shot it never feels as if it exists to show off, rather it emphasizes the emotion all the individual characters are felling and force the viewer to enter Ediths world.

4) Blade Runner:

[Show spoiler]This scene is largely a result of Batty's final moments when he says, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain. Time to die". I find there to be something almost poetic to these words, and the performance he gives is astounding and the dove flying off symbolizes the significance of this moment. Of course the fantastic visuals are still present throughout this scene as they are throughout the entire film.

5) Metropolis:

[Show spoiler]The introduction to this film is simply marvellous, with the two 'worlds' juxtaposed which further emphasizes what is to come in the film as well as making you genuinely invested in this odd world and story. Beyond that it is simply amazing to look at, and I have many found memories of watching this when I was growing up.
