Movie Moments

This thread is a win. So many people have posted some great movie moments.
 
My favorite scene from my favorite movie. The battle scene right before this is epic, but these two minutes always give me chills:

it slipped.

lol!!
 
Intense? Saving Private Ryan: Mellish getting stabbed while Upham freezes. I don't know how a scene can get more intense than that one.

Unbelievable? The special effects in the first Star Wars. Seems silly now but was unbelievably cool back then.

I think Starwars graphics are still decent today. (for Starwars that is) They aren't the level of CGI they have today, but then again for what they were doing it wasn't needed. The movie still looks pretty good by today's standards.
 
I've searched everywhere, but can't find it. The scene in Urban Cowboy, when Bud (John Travolta) has the accident at work and nearly fell to his death. His eyes were so intense and so real, you would think he really had just almost died.

Here is another great scene from Urban Cowboy. "Swallowing your pride"....

And another one..."I got hit"...

and another...."I'm gonna kill him!"...

The whole movie's awesome. I could just post it as one big clip, the whole thing is a movie moment.
 
The destruction of the original Enterprise. I still get chills watching it catch fire in the atmosphere.

The last few minutes of " We are Marshal" always chokes me up. That and the end of " Old Yeller"...

Oh totally, man. "My God, Bones. What have I done?"

Star Trek 3 is underrated. One of the top Star Trek movies.

I'll have to throw in the beginning of the new Star Trek movie as well, with daddy Kirk going down and Kirk being born.

I was thinking about posting the same thing.
 
Field of Dreams.

Everytime more evidence is revealed that suggests Costner's pursuit is on target.

- Shoeless Joe shows up at his cornfield ballyard.
- seeing Moonlight Graham's stats on the Fenway scoreboard.
- James Earl Jones stands in the path of the van and confesses he saw it too.
- encountering the late Doc Graham in the middle of the night in Minnesota.
- picking up the young hitchhiker who reveals his name to be Archie Graham.
- when his Dad finally shows up at the ballyard and they play catch.

One of the favorites is when he's telling his wife he thinks he's supposed to go to Fenway and his heretofore skeptical wife suddenly realizes she had a dream that he was there.

Much of meaningful life with my two boys was centered around their baseball endeavors which I think enhances this movie for me/us.

I just love the theme of faith & supernatural guidance even though the author is not a believer in faith at all.
 
Shawshank Redemption – Andy doesn’t report, they go to his cell, the warden is outraged, nobody knows where Dufresne could possibly be until the warden starts throwing some rocks in the cell at the guards and Red. Rock hits the poster of Raquel Welch and it tears. They discover Andy’s escape tunnel and then Andy’s plan all along.

Chasing Amy – The ending gets me every time. You legitimately fine the one person in your life that is truly perfect for you in every which way, but your ego and stupidity get in the way and ruin it. The friendship between Bodie and Holden was so real when certain friends just don’t like you dating somebody and their passive aggressive nature towards it. And how Alyssa’s friends turned their backs on her when she was dating a heterosexual male. All that and Holden finally realizing how badly he screwed up and shattered his relationship with Alyssa and expressing that to her with the comic book which was devastating beautiful and sad in so many ways.

Rudy – After Rudy has lunch on his birthday with his friend Pete and tells Pete “you’re the only one that has ever believed in me” and Pete replies that ‘dreams are what make life tolerable.” Later on Pete dies in a horrific accident at the mill.

Rocky I – Rocky telling Adrian that all he wants to do is to go the distance with Creed because that would signify he did something meaningful in his life. The first round hits and Rocky is getting embarrassed and then out of nowhere he knock Creed with a hard left uppercut, sending Creed to the mat for the first time of his career. The crowd is stunned as the announcers raise up out of their seats shocked at what they saw. Creed gets up and starts to come back and breaks Rocky’s nose, for the first time ever. Rocky starts to get clobbered in the 2nd round and then Creed tells him that doesn’t he know that this is a show which ticks Rocky off and he proceeds to clobber the champ again. Then they show the promoter, smoking his cigar while watching in disbelief.

Pretty much everything from Requiem for a Dream. That film will leave you flat out disturbed for about a week.

No Country for Old Men, the ending where Tommy Lee Jones realizes that he stands no chance against the modern day criminal.

The Color Purple - Celie and Nettie's reunion

Braveheart - When Princess Isabelle tells Longshanks she's pregnant with William Wallace's baby

Bridges of Madison County - When Francesca sees Robert standing in the rain and their wordless goodbye.
 
I see some Shawshank redemption lines in here.

Occasionally at work I will randomly walk up to co worker and say..."What say there Fuzzy Britches". :laugh1:

You can always tell who has seen the movie and who has not as they either look at laugh or look at you with no clue what it means.

Had one person say...I finally found out where you got that line from after she had watched the movie.:laugh1:

My favorite scene from that movie is Holden's revelation to Alyssa.
