I figured that we have quite a few people on here that love films, so why not share our favorite moments?
Post your favorite movie scenes/sequences here. You don't have to post all at once (or you can if you want). Doesn't even have to be your favorites: Scenes you just find great and suitable work as well, but favorites just make it easier to pick from.
Difference between scenes and sequences: Scenes are same setting, same time. Sequences can be different times and areas but dealing with the same thing. An example would be a dog walking would be a scene. A dog pissing on a fire hydrant then getting taken to the pound and waking up in the pound would be a sequence. Either of these are fine of course. =]
WARNING: THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SPOILERS
POST THE NAME OF THE MOVIE BEFORE YOU LINK/POST VIDEO SO WE KNOW WHICH TO WATCH AND WHICH TO AVOID DUE TO SPOILING.
There is a way to post youtube videos directly to here. Click on the 'insert video" button above the text box for your post (it'd below the Bold type button) and paste the video's url there like it were a picture.
IF YOU FEEL THE TITLE OF THE CLIP IS A SPOILER (example: Luke finds out Vader is his dad) THEN POST AS A LINK INSTEAD. =] Titles like "King's Speech Ending" are fine, because as I said before, there will always be spoilers for movies people haven't watched yet and they should not click on them if they don't want to find out the ending. However, it doesn't say what happens in the ending so the title is ok.
Okay now that we have the rules out of the way, let's share some amazing moments in cinematic history.
Some of my favorites are:
1. THE GODFATHER
I love the obvious contrast here. It is pretty much the summary of the movie: The importance of family. It not only proves as a very impacting metaphor, but it also carries on the story and is not entirely unnecessary. It solidifies the moment of absolute power.
2. THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
There is so much tension here because of the incredible music and the well crafted quick shots. This scene was unlike anything at the time, and it still is immensely individual. Many movies have paid homage to it, because why play it fair? Fair is boring. This scene really shook things up and when I first saw it, I had no idea what would happen.
3. THERE WILL BE BLOOD

Johnny Greenwood's off-kilter, paranoid track makes this scene a disoriented state of panic. Anderson's brilliant directing and smooth, long takes that he's well known for not only show some of the best cinematography in recent years, it also increases the tension and stress like it were a rubber band about to split. Everything about this scene was perfect, and it turns an event that could have been bland if handled the wrong way into one that is more intense than most action films.
Alright, post away! =]
