Your Favourite Movie Moments

Yes, I'm Canadian, so favourite is spelt with a "u".

Anyways, we've all got movies we love, but in those movies there's usually one part we can rewind and watch over and over and never get tired of it. It's just one of those special moments where something catches you. A very emotional scene, or maybe very funny. Maybe you just love it for no reason at all. What are your favourites?

Some of mine, in no particular order, are...

The escape from the Death Star in Star Wars Ep. IV, when the TIE fighters come after the Falcon. I love the music and the action in the scene.

The execution of Order 66 in Star Wars Ep. III. Probably the only scene in any movie that ever moved me to tears. The look on Yoda's face in that scene kills me every time.

The scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where Jack and Will steal the Interceptor. That scene, along with the introduction of Jack, automatically made the movie one of my favourites.

The "Twist and Shout" parade scene in Ferris Beuller's Day Off. Whenever I watch that movie I have to rewind that scene at least twice.

When Optimus Prime is killed in The Transformers: The Movie. Bullsh*t!

The Spanish Inquisition musical scene in "History of the World Part 1".

When the Ents attack Isengard in LotR: Two Towers. I love the music in that scene, and coupled with the ents just wrecking everything...awesome!

The scene in Saving Private Ryan where Upham kills the German soldier. I still think that dude is a total tool, though. B*tch.

I got a few favorite moments.

The ending of Boondock Saints where the mob boss is executed in the court room. That speech is amazing.

The Helms Deep battle in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

That part in Sin City where Marv grinds the guy's face into the pavement as he drives the car down the street. F'n hilarious.

The Dooku battle in Episode III. "You have hate. You have anger. But you don't use them." Such a badass quote.

Every Aqua Teen episode. I watch them over and over. Best show ever.

Every Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children battle scene. Such great action animation.

The Matrix Reloaded scene with the Architect. Such a great turning point in the trilogy, and I love looking up the words he uses on dictionary.com.

That's all I can think of for now. I'll maybe post some more later.

Err, there are lots, but from the top of my head:

In the Shawshank Redemption, when the warden finds out that Andy escaped, and then you see how he did it. The entire movie is great, but that scene never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Van Damme(Guile)'s speech to his 'truppehrs' in Street Fighter. Hilarious.

The scene in Last Hero in China where Jet Li dresses up and fights like a chicken against the bad guys in the centipede costume. I don't think I have to elaborate here.

The final fight scene in Drunken Master. Everyone is gay for Jackie Chan.

The final battle in the first TMNT movie is also nice.

So many scenes from the Adam West Batman movie. 60's logic rules.

Pulp Fiction- Vincent Vega's and Jules Winfield's intro conversation.

Full Metal Jacket- The death of Private Cowboy. Human error at its worst.

The Mighty Ducks- Charlie Conway wins with the Triple Deke.

White Men Can't Jump- Er... white men CAN jump.

The Nutty Professor- Dave Chapelle... nuff said.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day- The Terminator's goodbye to John Connor.

Shaun of the Dead- This is a tough one... but I'd have to say when they all pretended to be zombies to avoid getting eaten.

Independence Day- When Russell Case sacrificed himself to blow up the first alien warship. Tragedy and triumph. And the victory music was awesome.

I got more comin', so stay tuned.

  • LOTR: The Return of the King -- The Riders of Rohan charge the Pelennor Fields.
  • The Crow -- Eric Draven VS. Tin-Tin ("Victims: Aren't we all?").
  • The Punisher -- The scene where Frank says, "Made you kill your friend, made you kill your wife." to Howard Saint, then proceeds to tie him to a car and drag him through a lot of exploding cars which create teh Punisher Skull insignia.
  • TMNT -- The beginning scene, all the way up to the point where Raph says, "Damn!" for the second time and enters the lair.
  • Pulp Fiction -- Vincent & Jules at the diner ("Rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know 'cause I won't eat the dirty motherf***er.")

There are defnitely tons more but this is all I can think of at the moment.

Just about every second of Pulp Fiction is amazing. Also, in Jurassic Park, in the beginning, where Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight) makes that freakin' hilarious squeak noise.

Just about any scene in Fight Club has held it's own special meaning for me. Some favorites being The Narrator pounding the crap out of the blonde kid. And all of Tyler's great speeches.

"Did you know if you mixed equal parts of gasoline and frozen orange juice concentrate you can make napalm?"
"Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows."

My new favorite moment is in V For Vendetta. But since it's still out in theaters and it's a spoiler scene, I will keep it to myself.

Bambi - When the mother was shot, that scene warped my fragile baby mind when I first saw it.

No Holds Barred - Doooooooodyyyyyyyyy....Dooooooody??????

Dawn of the Dead (original) - The Helicopter zombie kill and the whole screwdriver in the ear thing.

Nightmare on Elm st. - Freddy's first appearance in the boiler room, a horror hero arrives on the scene.

Batman - The whole "I'm Batman" scene.

Thats all I can come up with for now...Um....ENJOY!

Sure, don't tell us what movie, tv-show or series you're talking about. Best idea as of yet. To throw in some more mystery: I liked it when Brandon told Michaela about his secret love affair with Consuela.

TMNT:The "My Master Yoshi..." scene Splinter has with Raph. Classic.
Mrs: Doubtfire:Daniel's interview with Ms. Silner, and the phone interviews Daniel has for the nanny position.
x-men: The Last Stand:
Spoiler:
That one Doom mentioned...and Wolvie vs. the mutant who put his healing factor to shame..."Grow those back!

Spider-man:The webbing scene and the scene where he's named.
"What's you name kid?"
"The Human Spider!"
"Thst's it...that really sucks!"
Good Morning, Vietnam!:Quite a few, but mainly this:
"Excuse me sir, but seeing's how the VP is such a VP, shouldn't we keep his PC on the QT, because if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA and we'd all be put on KP?"

Oh sure,make me think of all my favorite movies. :p

The Princess Bride -All of it, but I especially love the 'To the Pain' speech. Look closely, Cary Elwes NEVER BLINKS!

TMNT 1 - Mikey ordering the pizza while Splinter is trying to help his son's understand the full relivence of their first battle.

Fight Club - Tyler's backstory and all of his 'odd jobs'. And any scene with Brad Pitt shirtless.

Boondock Saints - "You and your F8ckin Rope..." Priceless.

FF7 Advent Children - Tifa's fight scene in the church. The cell phone ring had me rolling with laughter.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Setting Benny the Cab free. "I can't believe they locked me up for driving on the sidewalk."

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - The 5 (3) Questions at the Bridge of Death, Tim the Enchanter raving about the Rabbit, Castle Anthrax, and the French Castle.

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut - "Step 4: Don't say F8ck anymore, cuz f8ck is the worst word that you can say. So just use the word 'Mmmkay'!" Thanks, Mr. Mackey.

Ice Age 1 and 2 - Scrat. 'Nuff Said.

There soooo many more but these are the ones I could think of.

Léon the Professional, when Stansfield's cronies come to Mathilda's place and kill of her whole family. BGM is fantastic at that moment. And Gary Oldman is such a psycho there.

Ai! I had to stumble upon this. I have so many favorites...

TMNT 1 - The battle with Shredder, and when they are all out in the country, waiting for Raph to come around from the fight. Poor Leo...

M*A*S*H: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen - Not really much of a spoiler, but it's the final scene when B.J. and Hawkeye are saying goodbye, and Hawkeye sees the stone message on the ground.

Nightmare Before Xmas - No idea why, but I'm in love with the songs on there right now (maybe since I've just seen it XD), espically "Jack's Liment" and "This is Halloween".

X-Men 2 (since I haven't seen X3 yet): The first scene when Nightcrawler is introduced, and then at the end in the Whitehouse when the X-men are confronting the President.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights - The whole thing had me cracking up, but it was the "Men in Tights" song that really got me. Best. Song. Ever.

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (Yes, it's a movie) - When Roy comes back near the end of the movie to fight, when Al makes a well in the middle of the desert that showers him in water and creates a rainbow, and the whole fight scene with Gluttony and Wrath in the underground city.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker - Though I never really approved of Batman Beyond, I loved this movie. Especially the flashback, saying what caused Batman to stop fighting.

Oh, yes, those moments were classics

For me, it's the same thing, only with the Knights of Ni.

"We are the knights who say NI!"

Augh, I for got the Knights of Ni!

Also forgot this little gem.
Batman Begins - Playing 'Fat-arse Yo-Yo' with the corrupt cop, when Batman snarls "SWEAR TO ME!!" Oh, and the test drive of The Tumbler. Chills, man. Chills.
