Favorite movie scenes

Mulholland Drive is like a series of unconnected scenes that you piece together by the clues given in each. I haven't made sense of it, but the jacket of the movie gives 10 clues. For now, I'm like: 'Never mind - I don't want to know!'

Here's two of my favorite scenes...

Club Silencio scene

Crappy killer scene
 
A cool scene from Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch. Johnny Depp plays a great role in this, ably supported by Gary Farmer. A very stark, clever twist on the western genre, featuring lots of Blake references for romantics to enjoy.

 
Watched again film director Oliver Stone's JFK last night.

The clip of Donald Sutherland as X shows him delivering a mesmerizing monologue about the US deep state in quite a naturalistic style, compellingly 'underplayed', osit. (The 16 minute segment seems like 5 the way he zips through it.)

Maybe the highlight of the whole movie.

 
Sometimes great scenes are made of great dialogue, Guy Ritchie's movies sometimes have some of the best. The following is a good example, to tackle the overt wokeism in Hollywood.

Warning, foul language.

 
Project X - Bluebeard radiation scene

I liked a lot of scenes in this movie, but this is the most popular on youtube.

 
A lot of the best scenes from my favorite movies and/or really good movies have been shared already. But there are so many good movies from all decades and from so many countries that we might not have seen yet!

Here is an iconic scene from a great French movie "Cinema Paradiso" starring Philippe Noiret, an actor I love. But, in order to understand its meaning and how touching/emotional this scene is, one must have watched the whole movie. So it's a spoiler if you watch this ending before having seen the movie.

(A filmmaker recalls his childhood, when he fell in love with the movies at his village's theater and formed a deep friendship with the theater's projectionist.)


 
I love this scene in "Man of Steel" where Superman learns from his father Jor-El about the history of Krypton and how he came to be on Earth. To me, watching this scene is similar to reading the Cassiopaean Chronology/Cosmology thread. The past comes into greater focus which then illuminates the way forward and you're more grounded and strengthened in the present.


 
Well, I’ve been subjected to watching Lion King since it came out when I had young brothers and then having my own kids spanning over 3 decades.

That opening scene, (though I wouldn’t call it my favourite movie scene ever) where that emotionally moving African song pummels into the soul and all the animals come to revere Simba, well, even if I wanted to I could not stop myself from crying. The same thing happens to me if I hear Chinese windpipe music, it strikes something in me so deep and nostalgic that I think it must be threads of past lives pulling on my heart strings.

Here’s a fun parody. No offence meant I doubt, just people having fun.

 
"The right stuff" (1983). Great scene.
Knowledge deeply hidden within man.
"He know the Moon, he know the stars, and he know the Miky Way! He'll give you a hand! He know!"
