American Psycho - Name something not to love, I dare you. (Dare withdrawn) (Dare Reinstated)
Bubba Ho-Tep - Bruce Campbell as Elvis, what more do you need, other than [spoiler:3a78da639c] JFK still being alive, and black, played by Ossie Davis[/spoiler:3a78da639c]
Collateral - I just love the scene in the alley where Jamie is handcuffed to the wheel of his cab while Cruise is upstairs, and Jamie starts yelling and honking the horn trying to get the attention of someone on the busy street not to far away. A bunch of guys come up, point a gun at his face, steal Cruise's briefcase, start walking off....and then Cruise just comes out of nowhere:
[spoiler:19902cbaaa]"Yo, homie. Is that my briefcase?"
Punk points a gun at Cruise, comes up and steals his wallet or something, and then as they're walking away Cruise yells something pulls out his gun and just fucking blows em away -- two shots to the sternum and one to the head. The fact that it was so close to a busy street, and just came out of nowhere, and how powerful the gunshots were in the theater...I loved that scene! [/spoiler:19902cbaaa]
Also:
Batman Begins - When Scarecrow gets gassed by his own shit, and Batman's face starts getting all demonic and starts melting and oozing black stuff. That was pretty wicked. I can't even believe Batman and Robin is from the same franchise.
50 First Dates:
[spoiler:ad3e9c07f8]Having her not magically "get better" was the best possible way they could have ended that movie.[/spoiler:ad3e9c07f8]
Tombstone:
[spoiler:ad3e9c07f8]Doc walking out of the shadows with a cigarette. "I'm your Huckleberry.[/spoiler:ad3e9c07f8]
Casino Royale:
That chase scene through... was it Morocco?
Fight Club:
Tyler pulls Marla into a side hallway and starts dancing. Absolutely hilarious.
I can't even believe Batman and Robin is from the same franchise.
It isn't.
I don't mean tied together directly, franchise wasn't the right word I guess, I just mean that it's surprising how wildly different the two takes on the same character can be. How one could get it so terribly wrong, and the other so deliciously right .

Yeah...the new franchise is so sexy I can barely stand when I think about it.
Alternative reply was, "There wasn't anything before Begins. If there had been more Batman movies, why would they call it 'Begins?'" Denial ftw.
From Batman Begins is another line I love:
Flass: I don't know! I swear to God! Batman: SWEAR TO ME.
I hope TDK has more angry moments like this, because that's when Bale really shines in the suit IMHO.
The Truman Show
Truman's utter despair when his boat hits the wall, and then his complete victory when he exits stage left after his signature line.
This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time, and this scene is part of the reason why.
There are a couple other scenes that are, although not as spectacular in the context of things, very reaffirming and emotionally-wrenching. Just little things, like the glimpses of the control room as he begins wresting himself from their grasp.

Unforgiven: the entire end sequence.
[realspoiler:0ef597f1d5]Will Munny: Who's the fellow owns this shithole?
[pause]
Will Munny: You, fat man. Speak up.
Skinny Dubois: Uh, I... I own this establishment. I bought the place from Greeley for a thousand dollars.
[Will levels the shotgun, and speaks to someone standing behind Skinny]
Will Munny: You better clear outta there.
Man: Yes, sir.
[scampers out of the way]
Little Bill Daggett: Just hold it right there. Hold it...!
[Will shoots Skinny. Screaming, the women scatter upstairs]
Little Bill Daggett: Well, sir, you are a cowardly son of a bitch! You just shot an unarmed man!
Will Munny: Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend.
Little Bill Daggett: You'd be William Munny out of Missouri. Killer of women and children.
Will Munny: That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned.
[Will takes aim at Little Bill]
Will Munny: You boys better move away.
[the men standing around Little Bill scatter]
Little Bill Daggett: All right, gentlemen. He's got one barrel left. When he fires that, take out your pistols, and shoot him down like the mangy scoundrel he is!
[some minutes later, everyone is dead except Little Bill]
Little Bill Daggett: I don't deserve this... to die like this. I was building a house.
Will Munny: Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.
[aims gun]
Little Bill Daggett: I'll see you in hell, William Munny.
Will Munny: Yeah.
[fires]
[some minutes later, Will Munny is about to leave the bar]
Will Munny: All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there, I'm gonna shoot him. Any sumbitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only gonna kill him, but I'm gonna kill his wife, all his friends, and burn his damn house down.[/realspoiler:0ef597f1d5]
Band of Brothers - "Day of Days"
When Buck Compton fumbles the grenade. He just looks so terrified, the first time you see it, you get drawn in by making the same "oh shit" face. Of course, once you've seen the episode a few times, you rewind this section over and over because it's pretty hilarious.
Good one. I like "Breaking Point" with Lt. Spiers. Everything that guy did was rad. Rad to the max.
[spoiler:822e68c5d9] The shepard I pretty much saw coming, but not Wash...
The funeral scene was very touching.[/spoiler:822e68c5d9]
Also, that movie has another of my favorite moments, when River [spoiler:822e68c5d9]decides to have a little fun with the entire Reaver horde. We all knew that she'd go all mega-kill eventually.[/spoiler:822e68c5d9]
That last one isn't much of a spoiler, but what the hell.

When I think of favourite scenes, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang comes instantly to mind. So many good scenes in that, but the most memorable:
[spoiler:2fbbaccab1]Peeing on the corpse, I was laughing so hard[/spoiler:2fbbaccab1]
Other people have mentioned other great scenes; Spirited Away, (yes! The train sequence) Syriana, Equilibrium, Hero (although my favourite scenes in that are [spoiler:2fbbaccab1]the fight seen from above when deciding to keep the puppy and the end hall fight[/spoiler:2fbbaccab1]
Being John Malkovich - the Malkovich restaurant scene
Mirrormask - when she goes to talk to the floating giants. It's beautiful.
Pleasantville - when all the colours start revealing themselves.
Goodbye Lenin - [spoiler:2fbbaccab1]when the mother steps outside and the statue passes her by - very well done[/spoiler:2fbbaccab1]
The bit from My Neighbor Totoro, waiting at the busstop in the rain. When the lend the umbrella to the dealie, and it is amused as all get out by the noise it makes. It always makes me smile.
Perry: Did your dad love you?
Harry: Only when I dressed up like a beer bottle, how about you?
Perry: Well, he used to beat me in morse code, so it's possible, but he never said the words.
Life Aquatic
[spoiler:5fc028984f]A lot of parts, like the escape from the island scene, any part with Willem Defoe, and when they go deep underwater and see that dang shark.
But my favorite moment is towards the end, when Bill Murray is just sitting on the steps of the movie theater, with this exhausted expression on his face, and starts interacting with the kid[/spoiler:5fc028984f]
City of God
[spoiler:5fc028984f]When Knockout Ned dies, shot in the back[/spoiler:5fc028984f]
Toy Story 2
Jessie's flashback sequence, with Sarah McLachlan playing in the background. I cried a little.
I wish I could quote movies off by heart. But I barely remember the films I watch two days after having seen them, let alone the dialogue in them. I can't even remember what films I saw last year.
So imdb will help me
More Kiss Kiss:
[spoiler:d82d2e052b]Harry: Well what I'm doing for the guy who likes to bluff is I'm playing a little game called "Am I Bluffing?"
[Loads one round into the revolver to play Russian Roulette]
Harry: Where is she? Where the fuck is Harmony? You want to play hardball? I can do that.
[Spins the chamber and points the gun]
Harry: Where is the girl?
[Shoots the guy in the head]
Perry: [Stuttering at first] What did you just do?
Harry: [Confused] I just put in one bullet, didn't I?
Perry: You put a live round in that gun?
Harry: Well yeah, there was like an 8% chance.
Perry: Eight? Who taught you math![/spoiler:d82d2e052b]
Near the end of Spirited Away, when Chihiro is at Zeniba's house and the music starts to swell. [realspoiler:6ebf452200]Then she opens the door, and Haku is there, alive and well.[/realspoiler:6ebf452200] That's about when I start bawling like a little baby. [realspoiler:6ebf452200]And don't even get me started about the scene a few minutes later, when Haku remembers his real name.[/realspoiler:6ebf452200] Water come out my eyes
my favorite miyazaki movie.
my favorite part was [spoiler:6ebf452200]the train sequence, near the end. ethereal, sleepy, dreamlike, perfect. a lot of people, i assume, think it's boring as hell. it captures the fantasy and dreaminess of the movie perfectly. makes me want to shed a tear every time, and only because of the mood.[/spoiler:6ebf452200]
There's a certain haunting melancholy about that scene that I really do love. Most especially when
[spoiler:6ebf452200]the spirit train passes by one particular stop, and there's a little shadow girl just standing there at the end of the platform.[/spoiler:6ebf452200]
That little bit always sticks with me. Great stuff.
Oh, btw, I'm sorry I didn't spoiler my favorite moments from the get-go. I thought that since the movie in question was five years old that it wouldn't be an issue. My mistake there.
the part in love, actually when kiera knightly [spoiler:d402b00153]sees the video.[/spoiler:d402b00153] i'm such a goddamn sap.
Apparently so am I. I love that entire movie.
Me too. I find it funny that I can recognize what sappy sappitude the whole movie is loaded with, and love it nonetheless.
[spoiler:d402b00153]I love the scene where Colin Firth and the Portugese girl jump in the pond for the manuscript. Also at the end when he shows up to his family's house, drops off presents, and says, "Uh ... right ... I'm off." And leaves. And the little girl shouts, "I HATE Uncle Jamie!"[/spoiler:d402b00153]
The bit from My Neighbor Totoro, waiting at the busstop in the rain. When the lend the umbrella to the dealie, and it is amused as all get out by the noise it makes. It always makes me smile.
Yeah, wow. He hears it and his ears perk up, then hears it again and freaks out. Totoro is kinda scary when he roars, as his mouth could probably consume a full-grown man on a bicycle.
Movie is adorable.
Speaking of Miyazaki movies intended for children, Kiki's Delivery Service is probably my favorite. I like the scene in the bakery where Kiki's minding the store and complaining about the place being so boring and how if they don't get more deliveries soon she'll have to resort to eating pancakes "and get fat, fat, FAT!"
The English dub is really good and I've seen it countless times. My little triplet cousins fell in love with it, I should get them a copy on their bday.

Band of Brothers - "Day of Days"
When Buck Compton fumbles the grenade. He just looks so terrified, the first time you see it, you get drawn in by making the same "oh shit" face. Of course, once you've seen the episode a few times, you rewind this section over and over because it's pretty hilarious.
That's one of my favorite parts of the whole series, but not for the look on Compton's face. I love that Toye barely dodged the german grenade a few seconds earlier, and Buck drops that one right at his feet. And his only reaction is "Fucking twice."
Apocalypse Now. When Martin Sheen finally confronts Kurtz with his machete, spliced in with the sacrifice of the water buffalo and "The End." That 's one of my favorite moments in movie-dom.

My personal fave of BoB was Carentan, right after they bazooka'd a house and a German soldier comes stumbling out deaf and covered in dust. Spears pulls his .45 out and just executes his ass right there. It was surreal.
No one mentioned the business card scene from American Psycho?
"Ooh, that's nice." It was a bit better in the book though.
The part in Hero where [spoiler:fa2067cbe6] Flying Snow and Broken Sword storm the palace, and lay waste to the entire Imperial Guard. [/spoiler:fa2067cbe6]
And the Chess Court scene. I loved the water dripping onto the flat, round chess pieces. That was my favorite imagery along with whatever that Chinese instrument was that the blind fellow played. And of course, the idea of spirit duel where the winner is determined before either draws a blade.

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .
And that, I think, was the handle — that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting — on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
yes! I used this for my yearbook quote senior year which while it sounds corny is really the only time in life you get to define yourself with just a quote.
That entire movie amazes me though.
LOTR:ROTK [spoiler:717e876e37] For Frodo![/spoiler:717e876e37]
Indiana Jones entirely is just perfection.
Star Wars, still at the end of A New Hope I'm blown away every time. Such a rush of a moment.
Dazed and Confused I really like the scene where the guy shows up early with the keg. I can't explain why. Love the entire movie but that scene is just perfect.
Wayne's World when he has his first real show.
and this is pathetic but I cried last time I saw Little Giant when the name on the water tower changes at the end.
And yeah a double on the business card scene from American Psycho. I quote that movie with my riends a lot, but that scene more than any other.
Equilibrium scene mentioned in the OP is great.
Resevoir Dogs, the bathroom story, can't remember the official name. Also the discussion between Vincent Vega and Jules near the end of Pulp Fiction. And that part with the Wolf. ... fuck, and the whole movie.
Pan's Labyrinth
The entirity of the second test, I think I was on edge throughout that whole scene.
28 Days Later
The beginning, walking through London. So much atmosphere. I wish they'd just started the film there, though, rather than the 5 minutes of arbitrary explanaition beforehand.
Layer Cake
The scene with Ordinary World playing made me flinch like all hell.
I have a lot, but I was just reminded of a scene in Pulp Fiction.
Near the end of the movie. [realspoiler:ea48b11c51]Where Samuel Jackson and the robber are sitting at the table. His entire speech to him. So fucking awesome.[/realspoiler:ea48b11c51]
Oh, and in 28 Days Later, when [realspoiler:ea48b11c51]The single drop of blood gets in that dudes eye... god, that was intense.[/realspoiler:ea48b11c51]
and like everything with Christian Bale in it.

Although not one of my favorite films, the cinematography in Days of Heaven is breathtaking.

Oh, and the scene with the corvette. Good stuff man.
That's one of my favorite parts of the whole series, but not for the look on Compton's face. I love that Toye barely dodged the german grenade a few seconds earlier, and Buck drops that one right at his feet. And his only reaction is "Fucking twice."
My personal fave of BoB was Carentan, right after they bazooka'd a house and a German soldier comes stumbling out deaf and covered in dust. Spears pulls his .45 out and just executes his ass right there. It was surreal.
"Ooh, that's nice." It was a bit better in the book though.
The part in Hero where [spoiler:fa2067cbe6] Flying Snow and Broken Sword storm the palace, and lay waste to the entire Imperial Guard. [/spoiler:fa2067cbe6]
And the Chess Court scene. I loved the water dripping onto the flat, round chess pieces. That was my favorite imagery along with whatever that Chinese instrument was that the blind fellow played. And of course, the idea of spirit duel where the winner is determined before either draws a blade.
yes! I used this for my yearbook quote senior year which while it sounds corny is really the only time in life you get to define yourself with just a quote.
That entire movie amazes me though.
LOTR:ROTK [spoiler:717e876e37] For Frodo![/spoiler:717e876e37]
Indiana Jones entirely is just perfection.
Star Wars, still at the end of A New Hope I'm blown away every time. Such a rush of a moment.
Dazed and Confused I really like the scene where the guy shows up early with the keg. I can't explain why. Love the entire movie but that scene is just perfect.
Wayne's World when he has his first real show.
and this is pathetic but I cried last time I saw Little Giant when the name on the water tower changes at the end.
And yeah a double on the business card scene from American Psycho. I quote that movie with my riends a lot, but that scene more than any other.
Equilibrium scene mentioned in the OP is great.
Resevoir Dogs, the bathroom story, can't remember the official name. Also the discussion between Vincent Vega and Jules near the end of Pulp Fiction. And that part with the Wolf. ... fuck, and the whole movie.
long post so I will cut it short here :-)
The entirity of the second test, I think I was on edge throughout that whole scene.
28 Days Later
The beginning, walking through London. So much atmosphere. I wish they'd just started the film there, though, rather than the 5 minutes of arbitrary explanaition beforehand.
Layer Cake
The scene with Ordinary World playing made me flinch like all hell.
Near the end of the movie. [realspoiler:ea48b11c51]Where Samuel Jackson and the robber are sitting at the table. His entire speech to him. So fucking awesome.[/realspoiler:ea48b11c51]
Oh, and in 28 Days Later, when [realspoiler:ea48b11c51]The single drop of blood gets in that dudes eye... god, that was intense.[/realspoiler:ea48b11c51]
and like everything with Christian Bale in it.
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
Holy hell yes; it was perfect, so perfect.
Also [spoiler:6cf12f348c]when Mercedes stabs the Captain[/spoiler:6cf12f348c] - that was perfect revenge
MacReady: I thought you'd feel that way, Garry. You were the only one who could've gotten to that blood. We'll do you last.

I expected so much from that movie, being a fan of Sandman and McKeans art as well, but it really didnt do that much for me.
