Fantastic/Beautiful moments in Cinema - The PH Compendium

[Chimune]

Watched BoxTrolls at weekend which is a pretty good film (was kind of distracted during most so would like to watch again) and the end credits are great.
However, after the credits finish there is a frankly amazing little fade....

Anyone mentioned the switch half way through From Dusk Till Dawn - which is certainly a jolt in proceedings!!

This one still stirs my soul all these years later.



Here's a link to all 36 glorious seconds of John Williams and The London Symphony Orchestra - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gpXMGit4P8

Never seen the film, but that's a really clever and nice touch.

Last of the Mohicans

- when Heyward offers himself as a sacrifice instead of Cora

- the ending, when Uncas is killed and Chingachgook avenges him.

Especially the music during the chase and fight.

And the bit when Magua lowers his knife as Alice steps towards the cliff-edge.

In fact, the whole film quite frankly.

Blazing Saddles, the Count Basie band in the desert.

Really must watch that film.

The 'post rescue' medical assessment scene at the end of Captain Phillips - Tom Hanks' acting is incredible and made all the better by reading the YT comments / general trivia that the nurse treating him isn't an actress - but a real navy nurse told to behave towards the patient in the manner she normally would. Incredibly moving.

Also, on a Tom Hanks theme and as a sucker for Hans Zimmer, I always like the ending of the Da Vinci Code, with TH kneeling and praying as he realises the higher power secret he's discovered, as Chevaliers de Sangreal builds. Wonderful.

Considering the "goofy" movies and roles he started out doing (thinking "Big" etc), he has done amazing work, I think he's probably one of (if not the) best actors of his generation. He's fantastic, and from what I've seen on-line etc, he's a bloody nice bloke too. the video you linked to above (Captain Philips) shows him at his absolute best I reckon, especially acting and re-acting to someone that isn't actually an Actor.

Kelly’s Heroes.

Kelly, Oddball and Big Joe approach the last Tiger.
The whole dialogue is fantastic and ends,
‘And Sergenat all you have to do to have an equal share of this money is crank this turret around and blow a hole in that door.’
[cut to door]
Huge explosion as said hole is blown in that door.

[DS240]

The moment walking into a screen and finding no one else there (excluding partner if there) or max of 5 other people. Perfect!

No sharing with noisy people who don’t know how to act in public or who eat like a total pig.

Full Metal Jacket, Gunnery Sgt Hartman's speech to the new recruits.

Two scenes stuck with me from that film, I was underage and sneaked into the cinema when I saw it so quite impressionable I guess.

When the bullied guy turns nutty and kills himself, the weird staring look and then shooting himself got me - it might've been the first time I'd seen a headshot.

When they're marching across the scene with fires (or maybe sunset) in the background so it's just silhouettes - and singing the Mickey Mouse theme M I C K E Y M O U S E...

[Scabutz]

The Untouchables - you got him? Yeah I got him

The Insider - Wigand is in his hotel room reflecting on what's happened and the wall behind morphs into his thoughts, the sound track by Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke is amazing and a track called meltdown plays. Meanwhile it cuts between this and Bergman trying to phoen Wigand from a beach. Brilliant cinematography and a great abrut ending. "Tell him to get on the fking phone".

[Genuine Barn Find]

lots of films..... so too many moments to mention. Probably more fantastic than beautiful, but the sound of the girl screaming when she is taken apart by the dog in ‘once upon a time in Hollywood’ left my mouth dry and the exclamation “fking hell” after the scene had finished. I haven’t been surprised like that by a film for a long time.
