What is your favorite movie moment ever? - Blu-ray Forum

Roland1919 · 02-21-2008, 08:00 PM

I spent some time thinking about movie "moments"...occurences during a movie that made the movie itself special...

The movie Intersection with Richard Gere, Sharon Stone, and Lolita(mmm) Davidovich.

Theres a moment in this movie where Richard Gere hits the crossroads of his life. He is holding a letter that he should but shouldn't mail, tapping it on his forehead, pacing back and forth, when he gets a "sign" in the form of a a beautiful Red headed girl...the mood is right and the weather is on the verge of a storm, but Gere has an epifinay and so do we as the movie watcher. The letter is never mailed but winds up being very symbolic in a very climatic finish.
Watch this movie if you haven't seen it, there is a really good lesson on how we struggle with different aspects of our lives and relationships we build.

Steve Martin in TRAINS, PLANES and AUTOMOBILES standing at the car rental counter after a really tough day is really high up there for me:

Alaskankaijudude · 02-21-2008, 08:13 PM

WAY too many to narrow down to one but one of my faves is Roy Battys final words in Blade Runner.

jmlalit5 · 02-21-2008, 08:14 PM

Well, usually the moments I like are twists or surprises (Fight Club, Memento, Ocean's 11). However some movies had great moments that are just little, but are great. Pick almost any scene in Casino Royale and it's got a great moment in it, especially the final scene of the movie.

Alaskankaijudude · 02-21-2008, 08:16 PM

Ooh ooh, just remembered another all time fave moment, when Hercules and his little pal disturb Talos in Jason and the Argonauts and Talos turns his head to look at them and you hear his giant bronze body make that sound...Friggin' awesome moment.

juha · 02-21-2008, 08:23 PM

in Almost Famous (out now on Blu-ray in the UK - no its not that good quality, sound sucks) (movie is awesome tho) - When Penny Lane is "introduced" to Russel Hammond and Joni Mitchell's River is playing in the background.... breaks my heart.

Same movie, by the end --- Penny Lane's reaction to a shocking truth about something.. (its a spoiler I wont tell)

The Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King - When Theoden's army arrives by the White city to defend it from Sauran's attack....

Same movie, a bit before: When Faramir, the lesser-loved son of the Steward of Gondor does a suicide charge on the evil forces to the sound of Pippin singing.... OUCH

I'm such a softie.

Jurassic Park
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

Nice call Alaskan...I'm gonna have to watch this one again because you have now created a great visual.

SDon1969 · 02-21-2008, 08:31 PM

Tough one, cannot name a fave right now, but:

When you finally figure out who Louis Cipher is in Angel Heart....

The fight scene in They Live and the kicks ass/chew bubblegum line...

The chest-burst scene in the Alien...

The chariot race in Ben Hur...

Eh, I gotta stop, just realized I could go on and on and on.....

Balian · 02-21-2008, 08:43 PM

Most recent great moment:

Happiness is not real unless shared.

SquidPuppet · 02-21-2008, 09:00 PM

Papillon, when McQueen jumps to the coconut raft and Hoffman nods his head over and over.

The Fountain when Jackman (in present time) starts tatooing his finger and loses it. ( a crime he didnt win awards for that performance)

jk1138 · 02-21-2008, 09:19 PM

I love the Odd couple movie, when Felix comes home and Oscar meet him at the door all mad.

"Felix, I found a note on my pillow this morning that said "We are out of Corn Flakes F.U." It took me 3 hrs to figure out F.U. meant Felix Unger!"

Ascended_Saiyan · 02-21-2008, 09:40 PM

Bridge to Terabithia

When the boy finally decides to take his little sister to the place he use to share with his girlfriend.

wnicholas76 · 02-21-2008, 09:40 PM

My favorite movie moment ever is in "National Lampoon's Animal House", where Dean Wormer (John Vernon) says the following to Flounder (Stephen Furst):

"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."

Even Better is the sword battle at the end with the Skeletons when they start walking and then all of a sudden scream and run at them

mgonzo2u · 02-21-2008, 09:57 PM

Another comedic keeper that is always LOL at our house comes from OLD SCHOOL when WILL FERRELL shoots himself with the animal tranquilizer dart in the neck.

See it here

Some like it hot, when Jack Lemmon's character admits to being a man and the reply is:

"Well, nobody's perfect."

Classic.

stockstar1138 · 02-21-2008, 10:05 PM

"No, I Am your Father."

I still get chills everytime I see that scene. No doubt it is the most famous movie scene ever. Even if you don't know anything about Star Wars, you know that line.

the other one that always gets me is

"Here's Johhhhhhhnnnnnnnyyyyy!!!!" as Jack Torrence hacks at the door with an ax.
