Film moments that blew you away...

[ChrisM]

Bit of a long clip this one, it's basically the last ten minutes of the film. Leon was the first 18 certificate film me and my mate managed to get into the cinema to see, and the films ending blew me away.

I didn't think 4D was around back then! Cracking choice of film though. Leon really is one of the best films of the 90s.

Every aspect of that film is a masterclass: acting, design, story, marketing.

They got everything right, and all without a gargantuan budget.

 

I'm just bitter that I was too young to see it when it came out in the cinema. Mind you, I couldn't get in to see Aliens either.

 

Although I did see Alien 3 and 4 on the big screen

 

*smallest cheer ever*

 

Alien:Resurrection was the only one I got to see at the cinema. Unfortunately. The fuckers responsible for that should be lined up against a wall and shot in the throat.

 

Whilst I don't think that Alien 3 is as bad as many make it out to be I do tend to pretend there are only two Alien films.

Edwards woodwards character in the Australian film Breaker morant,brilliant actor in my opinion, the bit at his court martial where he explains "rule 303 " is ace,would be obliged if someone could find the clip on youtube and post it,i still cannot figure out how to do it !

Holy Grail! When they're wanting to burn the witch.

Enter The Dragon, the fight scene where Bruce Lee fights O'Hara, I was about 12 or 13 and all the martial arts I'd scene before was David Carradine on TV in Kung Fu, blew me away!

In the pictures when it first came out, it was immense.

 

Same here, I was almost exhausted by the time it finished!

The final couple of scenes of the original 'The Vanishing'.

[Chairman Meow]

Still makes me have one of those "oh fuck" sensations even now.

And the ending of it too.

Just a shame a hell of a lot of people who claim to like the film seem to totally miss the point of it.

The lobby scene in the Matrix. I remember just being in awe of it as a 13 year old. Doesn't look so good now though.

Repped but I disagree - still looks stylish to me.

The whole exosuit battle is a thing of beauty. I'd also add this

In LA Confidential, when Captain Smith kills Vincennes. Followed by Exley's face when Smith inadvertently reveals himself to be "Rollo Tomassi". Superb cinema, and just a great, great film full of outstanding performances.

The Deer Hunter (1978) Scene where Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken are forced to play Russian Roulette by Vietcong.

When ET finally fucks off:

The final 22 minutes of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The graveyard scene in Sad Hill Cemetary.

 

Never bettered

 

Pure cinematic perfection.

[George Costanza]

Saving private Ryan was probably the major one for me.

 

The first sighting of the Dinosaurs in Jurassic Park was pretty immense too.

 

Multiple moments in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. battle of helms deep, lighting of the beacons.

 

All ver visual & epic. In terms of storytelling its hard to beat the end of Usual Suspects. IMo that had a wow factor

Cant find a video but the part of Mississippi Burning when you're man gets his foreskin cut off.

 

Harrowing.

I don't remember that mate.

 

I remember the black dude threatening to cut off the white dudes wedding tackle and put it in a cup...?

Most of 2001 : A Space Odyssey was mind blowing.

 

Especially the opening sequence, the segue into the space age, and the jaw dropping end sequence.

 

I would LOVE to see that film at the pictures. Dave.

 

I said in the film thread only last week that the "bank heist shootout" from Heat leaves you breatless.

 

Searching for Rosebud in the fire ?

 

The crucifix scene in The Exorcist was also incredible, as were the respective rape scenes in Straw Dogs and the I Spit on Your Grave.

 

The "cut your cock off in the bath" scene from the same film was especially eye watering stuff.

 

Some film directors just cannot seem to avoid mind blowing, masterpiece moments; Scorcese, Kubrick, Speilberg, Lynch, Leone...take your pick.

 

Whether it's by sheer fluke, devine inspiration or just sheer longevity, take your pick; all of them are / were just genius film makers.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Not to mention, "Lady Liberty" making a cameo at the end of Planet of the Apes.

 

Wow.
