My favourite for snappy dialogue is in 'Dirty Harry', when Clint Eastwood asks the robber if he's feeling lucky.

My favourite, from a visual point of view, is the scene in 'Dr Zhivago' in which Omar Shariff and Julie Christie enter the house if ice.

Edited because I write some really whimsical shite sometimes.

Goodfellas. The opening scene where Joe Pesci( sp ?) stabs the guy in the trunk. The look on Ray liota's face and then the line " ever since I can remember , I always wanted to be a gangster " and then the music. Perfect.

The Dam Busters. " it's gone ! "

If you look closly at the muzzel flashes from the Gramaton's pistols in Equilibrium its the same shape as the Grammaton Clerics symbol, no its not real but it is cool.



I never noticed that

It is a very cool film, i could actually think everything in it is real if i think of the future similar to that of Equilibrium.


Took me ages to find this, and its not that good a picture

Spaceballs, when Dark Helmet is getting p*ssed off with Major A**hole.

"Jeez, how many a**holes are there here?"

"Yessir!" (shouts evrybody in the room)

You have to see it obviously. They're all cross-eyed. It is very funny.

More cheeky mockney banter from Lock Stock:

Nick the Greek: Dunno. Seems expensive.
Tom: Seems? Well, this seems to be a complete waste of my time. That, my friend, is 900 nicker in any store you're lucky enough to find one in. And you're haggling over 200 pound? What school of finance did you come from Nick? "It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the Sale of the ing Century!" In fact, f it Nick, I think I'll keep it!

Lock Stock has some brilliant stuff in it. Has subtitles for this bit.

"Rory? Yeah I know Rory. He's not to be underestimated, you've got to look past the distinct facade. A few nights ago Rory's Roger iron rusted, so he has gone to the battle-cruiser to watch the end of a football game. Nobody is watching the custard so he has turned the channel over. A fat man's north opens and he wanders up and turns the Liza over. 'Now off and watch it somewhere else.' Rory knows claret is imminent, but he doesn't want to miss the end of the game; so, calm as a coma, he stands and picks up a fire extinguisher and he walks straight past the jam rolls who are ready for action, then he plonks it outside the entrance. He then orders an Aristotle of the most ping pong tiddly in the nuclear sub and switches back to his footer. 'That's it,' says the guy. 'That's what' says Rory. Rory gobs out a mouthful of booze covering fatty; he flicks a flaming match into his bird's nest and the man lit up like a leaking gas pipe. Rory, unfazed, turned back to watch his game. His team won too. Four-nil."

Leon, err most of it!

Raiders of the lost ark, where Indy is confronted by a masked man man wielding 2 big swords and swooping them about in a menacing fashion, the crowd gasps in fear "surely Indys a gonner now?" BANG, Indy puts pistol back in holster with the movie look equivelent of

IJ last crusade is full of cracking one liners between Ford and Connery, top notch casting for those 2.

Robin Hood, When the excellent Alan Rickman cancels christmas!

The 4 minutes that lead up to 4pm in Le Mans and the pause as the flag begins to drop after the mounting heartbeat. It's only about 3 seconds long but it feels like an age after the build up and then turn the 5.1 up to 11

In fact, I'm going to watch it now.....


TOTALLY agree!!

There are three more.

The start of Rendez Vous were the 275 GTB accelerates out of the tunnel.....

The Layer Cake speach that Gambon comes out with.....FANTASTIC!!

Finally, the best moment of ANY film is in American Beauty when Lester says "No. You don't get to tell me what to do anymore..."
Incredible, just incredible!

the moment in from dusk till dawn when you suddenly realise this might not be a standard tarintino flick after all.....


raiders of the lost ark as swapping the idol for the bag of sand and look on Mr Ford's face as it all goes wrong.

lobby scene in the Matrix, everything after that pales to nothing.

From Dusk Till Dawn when George Clooney and Quentin Tarentino nonchalantly walk away from the liquor store, burning and exploding in the background, arguing about the recent slaughter.

"I only asked you to buy a map!"

Kill Bill Vol 1 the end scene in the snow covered Japanese garden, beautiful and brutal.

You do realise I have gone through this thread with play.com open in the background adding DVDs to my basket. You buggers are going to bankrupt me.

Not many on your list then!

Slightly O/T, but at the beginning of the Cannonball Run, during the sequence with the black Lambo, was that actually the sound of the Countach or was it overdubbed with another car?
