[AmazingPjotrMan]

Instrument duels in movies kick ass.

[JesterJ.]

When directors do it just right, the "OOOOH!" moment that puts everything together in a movie (Heist, Thriller, etc.) is freaking amazing. Every time.

[Alex Steacy]

The best part of Hot Fuzz was Simon Pegg jumpkicking a granny.

[iambibs]

Just some of a few of my favorite movie scenes would be:

1. Will Farrell and Jon Heder's finale in Blades of Glory
2. The "I know Kung Fu" fight in the matrix

14. Maurice Chevalier impersonations - "Monkey Business"

I read that and wondered why that sounded familiar.
I then realized I watched Monkey Business on Friday.

I think my answer is any good Marx Brothers scene.

[theduckthief]

Ooh, forgot the scene where Fred Astaire dances on the ceiling - "Royal Wedding". That and the coat rack scene are the only reasons to watch that movie.

Scratch that. Just watch the scenes on YouTube.

[emma]

The entirety of Beauty and the Beast.

[Anachronism]

Just because it's fresh in my memory:

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman berating Marine recruits in Full Metal Jacket.

[emma]

Sable, that's actually a very good list.

And damn, Anachronism, now I really want to watch Full Metal Jacket - that scene with the girl sniper - SO GOOD.

[OmegaZultan]

The domino scene in V for Vendetta.

All of 300

[tak197]

I should avoid your lawn, shouldn't I? I mean, under threat of fist-shaking?

[Wraith]

I'll come up with a better one later, but off the top of my head, from Batman Begins:

Thug, hanging upside down by a bungie line: I DON'T KNOW! I SWEAR!

Christian Bale, in an uber-intense "huh. Guess he CAN play Batman" voice: SWEAR TO MEEE!

[Alja-Markir]

I have a ton of movie scenes I could mention, but since I just watched this movie last night...

The Shawshank Redemption: The circling flyover in the beginning, when Andy first arrives at Shawshank. Absofuckinglutely brilliant helicopter shot, especially the flag in the wind, and the music for that section just ties it all together so perfectly.

Also, the entire section at the end when Red gets out and heads down south to meet up with Andy. One of my favorite movie endings of all time.

~Alja~

PS - Wraith, I think he says "I swear to god!", thus the "swear to me" bit.

[emma]

Out of that entire movie, that's your favourite part? Geez.

Old enough to post that list for reasons other than uber-pretentiousness? I hope?

[theduckthief]

I didn't see it as pretentious. I just wanted to list some favourite movies scenes. But if that's the way it came off, sorry.

I get a little crazy when it comes to movies. I can't help it, I love 'em.
