greatest movie moment ever...

[Chris]

I know we had a thread similar to this with the crying at films one, but this is slightly different.

 

But what do you feel are some of the most poignant movie moments of all time? The scenes which really shock, bring a lump to the throat, provoke inense thought and just generally rock ass.

 

For me it has to be from LOTR: Return of the King.

 

"My friends, you bow to no-one"

Where Darth Vader throws the Emperor into the pit.

You'll not be surprised to hear that the scene at the end of Schindler's list, where the give him a gold ring and he breaks down saying he didn't do enough, is one of my favourite scenes ever.

 

I also like the scene in LOTR when those riders on horseback charge off towards the enemy forces facing certain death and they have that little folk song being sung at the same time. Very good scene.

 

My third suggestion would have to be the scene in the revenge of the pink panther starting with Clueseau knocking on a door panel "This....is a door" and leading to walking on the treadmill, falling down the stairs, interrogating the staff, swatting away a bee with a mace and then shooting someone. A genius at work.

The scene in return of the king where the cavalry charge across the fields of pelennor. The speech just before that is quite stirring.

[Paul Don]

The scene at the end of Shawshank Redemption on the beach in Mexico.

[Thants]

The zoom in focus out shot on Brodie in Jaws. Brilliant.

 

Another great moment is when LOTR finally ended. Fuck me.

The scene at the end of Shawshank Redemption on the beach in Mexico.

 

That film has got a few, the one where he emerges from the sewer and stretches his arms out - a truly iconic image, especially for anyone who's ever worked in a call centre.

"My friends, you bow to no-one"

 

Yeah that is a good moment. I also like the bit where Frodo wakes up in Elron's house for the first time after being stabbed by a black rider and the rest of the hobbits pile in and have a little hobbit hoedown.

Love it.

 

Also those Cato-scenes when he comes back to his appartment.

 

I don't have any favourite scenes, but I just remembered "Once we were warriors". Love the scene where Jake is saying something like "I'm a lovable chap, Jake the Muss" after twatting the man who rapet his daughter half to death. I might have the timeline wrong but not the line. Great movie that.

There's a lot of LOTR fans on here, thought it was good viewing, but did nobody think the Ghost Army ending ruined the whole thing? It was like having a Tsunami at the battle of Midway.

It was cheating.

[RedKnight]

Indiana Jones chasing a truck full of Nazi's on horseback. Proper action done without CGI. Love it. Also like the scene where he guns down the Arab swordsman.

There's nothing homosexual about enjoying the sight of four hairy little men dancing an hugging each other, is there?

Excellent film that, one of my favourite non-British or Hollywood films. Jake is played by Jango Fett isn't he?

 

Great actor, though Shortland Street was turd.

Had to check. It's Temuera Morrison. The movie is actually from 1994.....I have to see it again now after doing some checking. One of my all time favourites.

 

 

edit: Don't know why the pics don't work. Shall see if I can find someone else.

[madstock]

"No Luke - I am your father..."

 

I also quite liked the part in "Panting and Panties: Part 3", where she did that thing, with the thing.

[Duff Man]

Not really poignant or seminal or anything but the bit where Waynes' ex crashes into the car on her bike in Wayne's World is funny as fuck.

Yeah pity about the next 20mins of the film!! They should have ended it right there!

 

Loads of Star Wars moments for me too though.

 

"Luke - I am your father" was pretty cool though - good call Madstock

[RedKnight]

It's 'No, I am your father'. An oft mis-quoted line.

GEEK

[RedKnight]

What's your point?

[Thants]

What's your point?

You're a star wars geek. Am i wrong? Thats my point.
