Your Favourite Movie Moment?

I Heart Huckabees


Bernard: Say this blanket represents all the matter and energy in the universe, okay? You, me everything. Nothing has been left out, alright? All the particles, everything.

Albert: What's outside the blanket?

Bernard: More blankets. That's the point.

Albert: Blanket's everything.

Bernard: Exactly. This is everything. Let's just say that this is me, all right? (pushes hand up under the blanket) And I'm, what, 60-odd years old and I'm wearing a gray suit. Blah, blah, blah. And let's say over here, this is you (pokes other hand up under another side of the blanket). And, you're... I don't know, you're 21. You got dark hair, etc. And over here, this is Vivian, my wife and colleague. Then over here, this is the Eiffel tower, right? It's Paris. And this is a war. And this is, uh, a museum. And this is a disease. And this is an orgasm. And this is a hamburger.

Albert: Everything is the same even if it's different.


Bernard: Exactly. But our everyday mind forgets this. We think everything is separate.
Limited. I'm over here. You're over there. Which is true. But it's not the whole truth because we're all connected.

 

pretty much all of the moments in Harold and Maude.

 

i love I <3 Huckabees.

by atm, my fav movie moment is the whole bar scene in Inglourious Basterds

 

The house of the rising sun montage at the end of Casino

 

The scene at the end of Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth where he is discussing his life and the moments of that day and the struggle to be a good person. "Well Ringo on a regular day I'd just shoot you but you caught me in a transitional period". Fucking classic.

"Favorite" is hard to come up with when you've seen half a century full of movies.

Some moments have given us lines that have become part of our cultural lexicon such as "I'll be back," "an offer you can't refuse" and "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

I guess one of the most recent fav moments is from Twilight, the scene in the woods

Bella: I know what you are.
Edward: Say it - Out loud.
Bella: VAMPIRE.

 

"How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback Nazi law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

 

One of my favourite is when John Malkovich enters the portal to his own self, in Being John Malkovich.

Everybody in the room is him, and the piano 'lady' makes me chuckle.


Or the end of Cruel Intentions, where Sarah Michelle Gellar's character realises everyone has read the diary her brother kept, with The Verve's 'Bittersweet Symphony' playing in the background.

 

I can't pick one but one of my favorites is the finalscene. In Edward scissorhands when the townspeople thin he is dead and the daughter goes up to the attic and comes back with his disjointed hand to show everyone that it's true.

 

Hahaha. In Donnie Darko:

"Sometimes i doubt your commitment to sparkle motion!!!" XDD LMFAO

Me and my brother watched this and had to pause the movie because we were laughing so fucking hard. Hahahahaha.

 

Just about every scene in The Big Lebowski is golden.

"That rug tied the room together, man."

 

There was a scene in "Casablanca" where the Nazi asks Bogart what his nationality was, Bogart replies " drunkard".

 

^^"Then you my friend are a citizen of the world."

Quite a few scenes in Forrest Gump.
When Forrest meets Elvis and you find out that Elvis's signature dance was inspired by Forrest.

When he first starts running and his leg braces come off as he runs, and he says "from that day, i was ruuuunning!" then later it shows him walking with jenny as a teenager and he gets chased by a truck full of rednecks, and he runs straight through the football field, thus getting noticed by a recruiter from the university of alabama.

The scene where Forrest gets in line with people speaking at a demonstration at the washington monument, and the right winger unplugs his mic and you can't hear what he says, and abby hoffman comes and introduces him as "forrest fucking gump" and then he and jenny run to each others arms and embrace in the lake in front of the monument.

Also when he starts running one day and doesn't stop for two years, then just stops in the middle of the desert and says "i'm tired. I think i'm going to go home now."

pretty much every scene from when he went to vietnam is classic. Especially when bubba says "you lean your back against me and i'll lean against you and that way we wont have to sleep with our heads in the mud."

when he returns from Vietnam and goes on the talk show with John Lennon and hes talking about China and how China has no religion and John Lennon goes, "no religion, too?" haha. i love it.

when leutinent dan comes to be his first mate and challenges god on the top of the boat (mast..is that what thats called) and his boat is the only one that survives the hurricane, and they become rich and dan starts believing in God.

damnit i love that movie. I can quote it in its entirety. I don't usually watch movies more than once or twice but I've seen Forrest Gump at least 60 times. It just makes me all warm and gooey inside!

 

Has to be Gene Hackman in the scene in Scarecrow! When he is putting on all those Shirts/Vests Jerseys?Cardigans etc, on getting released from prison! You realise these are all his worldly goods and feel empathy and sadness for him and his fellow traveller, Al Pacino, as they set off on their long road home... Yes! It's another road movie of the American Dream gone wrong, but it touches a raw nerve!

 

I mentioned it earlier and just found it on youtube:

I think it's because I love the concept of redemption and the humanity of how the scene breaks down.

I love the bit on Forrest Gump when he is speaking at the rally, and Jenny comes running out and they meet across the pond, magic!

 

There is a scene in Judgement Night where Dennis Leary pays a kid to tell him where Emilio Estevez, Cuba Gooding Jr., Steven Dorff, and Jeremy Piven are hiding. The kid says to him, "This money has blood on it." Leary responds "You ever seen any that doesn't."

The end of the movie "Hair" when hippy George Berger and Claude Hooper Bukowski switch places at the military compound so Claude can spend time with his gf and Berger ends up in Vietnam.

 

in star wars when they take darth vaders helmet off or in the matrix when trinity does that big jump
