Good thread. I'll need to have a think about this
I did like a split second moment in Heat. They're in an all night diner and Sizemores character stares down a guy at the next table who he thinks is eavesdropping on them.
Here it is at about 00:50
>i petition thee to kys. unironically. how is that for impactful
>take
I see what you mean... The entire film is excellent tbh.
u dum fuk
Go on, vent your anger..But try to also stay on topic..
>I see what you mean... The entire film is excellent tbh.
I haven't watched it in a while. I might go back to it, return to a time when I used to like de Niro
>I haven't watched it in a while. I might go back to it, return to a time when I used to like de Niro
I don't know if i'd classify it as a "masterpiece"...But it's close to it. One of Michael Mann's finest for sure.
These two scenes stuck with me
and of course..the heist scene
Fans of Heat should check out Thief.
>a scene that leaves a lasting impression...
Oh neat thread on film as a language
>...on you
Worthless garbage thread

Contribute and make it better then...Share your favorite scenes.
i'm gonna respond to you one last because you are just that stupid and this deserves reinforcement. go piss up a rope
>i'm gonna respond to you one last because you are just that stupid and this deserves reinforcement. go piss up a rope
it boggles my mind how you can say that to a perfect stranger. Funny how people get overly aggressive behind a keyboard and the illusion of anonymity. Ignore the thread if you don't like it. It's as simple as changing the channel. You sound pissed for no reason.
Youre an example of the Black folk that shit up this board. Does us all a favour and find yourself a rope yeah
Id love to cave your skull in
Hey big boy what’s up?
chill out, dickweed
i petition thee to kys. unironically. how is that for impactful
take this shit back to plebbit
some good pics here, especially Network and Lost Highway and Collateral. this one is cliche, but for me it's the Blade Runner Tears in the Rain monologue
it may be "cliché"... But there's good reason for it. It's timeless and resonates within your soul ...
Thank god for Rutger Hauer saving this
Script version
>I've seen things... seen things you little people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium... I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments... they'll be gone.
Hauer's version, what's in the film
>I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
From Royal Tenenbaums
It's a simple, nothing happening scene, almost no dialog. But you can feel the bond between them
>It's a simple, nothing happening scene, almost no dialog
And yet it stuck with you...That's what matters. Interesting, i haven't seen the film, makes me want to give it a try.
Oh the film is full of interesting scenes. Definitely give it a watch anon
Will do, i've only seen 3 of Wes Anderson's films..
Bottle Rocket, The Grand Budapest hotel and Rushmore.
no top 10 but here are some that really get me
Ikiru - The Moment He Started Living
I Am Not An Animal (Elephant Man)
Schindler's List | "I Didn't Do Enough"
Downfall - Hitler's Outrage (Original Subtitles, Extended Length)
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - "And That Right Soon" / Escape Part 1 scene [1080p] (AKA THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE)
The Deer Hunter / Russian Roulette Scene
Thoughts?
Great! thanks ! This is the reason why i posted this thread, to discover great films that might have slipped my radar....I have never seen "Ikiru". It's on my list now. I've seen all the other ones, great stuff !
Its from akira kurosawa (if you are into film you shoud know this name), all his stuff is 10/10, if you like a little more action watch Seven Samurai, its the direct inspiration for star wars. Also if you really want a slow but rewarding watch go see Stalker by Andrej Tarkovski, a few shots from True Detective are paying homage to that film, im not telling you you have to see if for yourself, awsome thread btw
>Its from akira kurosawa (if you are into film you shoud know this name), all his stuff is 10/10
Yeah i do... But i haven't seen all his films. Seen Tarkovski's Stalker, speaking of which...
You should've posted this one 🙂
I did not mean to sound condescending, i have another gem for you: Bleeder with Mads Mikkelsen, he is a "literally me" caracter who does nothing but watch movies its so funny, at one time his friend goes: SHUT UP MAN WHAT DO YOU KNOW YOU WATCH 4 MOVIES PER DAY
>I did not mean to sound condescending, i have another gem for you: Bleeder with Mads Mikkelsen, he is a "literally me"
No worries, seen it...As a matter of fact, i've seen all of Refn's films. I don't like all of them. But i always make the effort to watch them all because of his style. He has an incredible eye for scene compositions... I don't always like the way he directs his actors, he has hits and misses... But he's one of the most intriguing film director out there.
Surprisingly enough, i actually enjoyed his latest one that was aired on netflix. Copenhager cowboy, it's a short series, (more like a long film cut in 6 different parts.)
Elephant Man was a very emotional film. I love David Lynch.
>Elephant Man was a very emotional film. I love David Lynch.
Same here...
My top 5 favorites of his are
Lost Highway
Mulholland Drive
Eraserhead
The Elephant Man
Fire Walk with me
Have you seen all of his films? I find many people overlook The Straight Story (either haven't heard of it or don't know it's Lynch). That one was very moving for me too. Good list you have too. I assume you've seen all of Twin Peaks and not just the movie. I really, really wish we had gotten more scenes with Phillip Jeffries!
>Have you seen all of his films? I find many people overlook The Straight Story (either haven't heard of it or don't know it's Lynch).
Oh yeah...
Not my fav, some parts were touching. Overall good though.
For whatever reason, i've never liked Blue Velvet. Maybe i'd have to see it again. But the ones that stuck with me are defo Lost Highway, Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Mulholland drive, Fire Walk with Me and Wild At Heart. I also liked Lynch's third season of Twin Peaks.
Speaking of which...
That episode !....
Instant classic.
My top ten David Lynch full-length feature films (in no particular order) are:
Blue Velvet
Inland Empire
Lost Highway
Wild at Heart
Eraserhead
Mulholland Drive
The Elephant Man
Dune
Fire Walk with Me
The Straight Story
It's been ages since i last watched Dune. The one that's fresh in my mind is Villeneuve's version. I was a bit disappointed by Inland Empire. Though it had many memorable scenes, it felt too smiliar to Mulholland drive. Only not as good. I wasn't as emotionally involved as i was in his other films. That being said, it's still a must see for Lynch fans.
>it felt too smiliar to Mulholland drive
But it is completely different to Mulholland Drive. You could say that it's the exact opposite to Mulholland Drive.
>But it is completely different to Mulholland Drive. You could say that it's the exact opposite to Mulholland Drive.
The exploration of identity and duality, Hollywood and entertainment industry...etc variations on similar ideas. You could argue the same about Lost highway i guess.. But Inland Empire felt (at least for me) too similar to Mulholland. Both characters are also play the roles of actresses..
>The exploration of identity and duality, Hollywood and entertainment industry...etc variations on similar ideas.
Yes. But that are just the basic themes.
Mulholland Drive has a perpetual outward motion to it, in other words, everything begins at the individual and ends at the whole:
Every action or event is driven by one of the characters and effects everything else. Objects and details are first looked at individually before the complete picute is revealed. The plot structure itself begins with Camilla, Diane, Adam, all as individuals (and told from their perspectives) and then over time reveals their contexts, culminating in something that puts all those contexts themselves into an even larger context and that is told completely from the outside perspective towards the end.
In contrast, Inland Empire is defined by its constant inward motion (wonder if that's where the title comes from):
Right at the start you are told exactly what the main plot is about. You see the "big picture", are given the whole setting, practically all the major characters, see them interact. You know what happened in the past and what's happening now. Things like detail inspection and character introspectives happen gradually over time. The plot structure moves from an outside perspective to a massive inside perspective (moving both into a film that's being filmed and into a character's immediate state of mind). It culminates in what might be considered a massive dreamlike stream of conciousness over 20 minutes, filled with detail after detail.
Imo, Jim Carrey's best film of his career is "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"..
Followed by The Truman Show. great scene indeed!
the ending of Life Aquatic when the crew finally finds the jaguar shark and Sigur Ros starts playing and Zissou starts crying. I don't love Wes Anderson but I do love Life Aquatic
>that was my favorite age
is it bad that I can't think of one?
I don't know if its brain frog, depression or just if I'm a vacuous person. Probably all 3.
Here, i'll share some more, hope this inspires you.
>most impactful scenes
When the bomb dropped in Oppenheimer.
>When the bomb dropped in Oppenheimer.
You don't say... 😉
One of my favorite scenes of all time. Obviously it looks a hell of a lot better on Blu-ray.
The entire film is memorable. These two scenes are my favs.
and
What comes to mind for me are the endings of Gattaca and Hana-bi. Two beautiful, underrated films.
>vincent finally gets recognition for himself, not as "jerome"
>nishi's wife saying her first (and only) line as they realize they've reached the end of the road
Bros...
Based, the club silencio and diner scenes are two of my all-time favorites as well.
gattaca is purest kino. amazing soundtrack too.
The house burning down scene is a spectacle, but it is not the climax of the film (the film's climax is when it ends, and you've realized what you've watched)
I've grown to be annoyed by scarlet Johansen but there was a time when she was an up and comer without baggage.
The scene where she and Bill Murray's character are on a night out in Tokyo. Drinking with random Japanese. Doing karaoke, visiting a strip joint, getting a meal, walking through pachinko parlour. Its comfy.

Same here...Also one of my favorite Bill Murray films. (Groundhog day is still my #1 of his)
Here are some more scenes that stuck with me, great memorable scenes in no particular order..
Falling down - Not economically viable
Sexy Beast - cigarette scene
Natural Born Killers- interview
I Stand Alone
>NBK
I still tell the Little Johnny joke to anybody who'll listen. Do you like other Oliver Stone films?
>Falling Down
I like the scene where he's talking to the groundskeeper at the plastic surgeon's house.
>Do you like other Oliver Stone films?
Yes, JFK (doesn't necessarily mean i'm 100% on board with Stone's point of view but the directing is sublime)... Nixon, U Turn, Born on the 4rth of July. These are my favorites.
Don Logan is as good a character as can be written, and Ben Kingsley is performing as well as a character can be performed.
>top 10
Frick you. Here is top 5. No one has time for that.
>A Man for All Seasons
"But for Wales..." scene
Might not seem that impactful in isolation but within movies context it's a biggest gut punch there is.
>Big Fish
"It's unbelievable" scene
>A Bittersweet Life
Ending
>The Sea Inside
"I came flying" scene
And since there is Lynch wanking in the thread I'm surprised no one mentioned the ending of The Straight Story
Big Fish is for me, Burton's best film.
Great thread.
Persona
La Strada
>La Strada
great one too.
Fellowship of the Ring:
That one for me.
When i think of Fellowship, i think of this scene in particular.
Not going to give you a top10 but this one from Scent of a Woman will always have a lot of meaning to me
Ok, it's strange to see a scene out of context when you haven't seen the film. But, that being said... Great scene. I've seen many of Pacino's films but not this one yet.
I think this is one of his best films, if not the best.
That scene from Nolan's Inception stuck with me... "An idea", so true.
If you watch this scene and think 'that's just some guys shooting at nothing' then you're missing out on one of the best non-verbal displays of trust and friendship ever seen in a movie.
excellent scene.
For some reason the second youtube link you posted doesn't work on my side. Great scenes selection. Also, when i think of Full Metal Jacket, this one is the first that comes to mind.
One upon a time in the west final duel
I hate these lame stylized posters like you wouldn't believe. So lame and cliche
Today I was thinking about the iconic line at 1:04: https://youtu.be/kF3DvMiNVIY
This scene only works at 10% of its power if you haven't watched the film up to this point but this is the best acting Matt Damon has ever done, and all he's doing is trying to mask his emotions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq462kfFKI8
The Talented Mr. Ripley is underrated as frick, even on Cinemaphile.
Video unavailable.
Joe Para's Stephen Hawking part was a pretty good one.
?t=94
simple but effective
The sheer pathos of these dialogues
>High Noon
>On the Waterfront
Now this scene made my cry a bit, thinking of the harsh life of these people, their belongings and life always at risk, this film (Stromboli, Land of God) was shot on location in a small village, Stromboli, and its volcano erupted in real time. The townspeople knew already how to escape and the director included this in the film. Very spiritual, I recommend it.
>Stromboli, Land of God
And now this scene so pristine, so symbolic of piety and purity. There are two enemy clans. And this scene begins with the member of one clan subduing the chief of the enemy clan -Lazar-, the former demanding the latter to pray for his life, and after he does a heavenly vision of his daugher Marketa appears.
>Marketa Larova
