Re: [Mid] What's Your Top Five Favorite Movie Scenes?

* The scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where Jones decides he hasn't
got
   time to mess with Mister Scimitar using his trademark whip, pulls
out a
   pistol, and blows the guy away. A great sendup of all the stock
action
   scenes, condensed into fifteen seconds of celluloid.

I have seen it mentioned so many times, here's a bit of triva/useless
knowledge for you all. The day Harrison Ford shot the scimitar scene, he
was suffering from the flu. The script actually called for an elaborate
battle between the two men, but acting on a whim, and just plain
exhaustion. Harrison pulled the gun and shot the scimitar-man. It was so
perfect the director kept it.

Okay, I'll bite. In no particular order:

* The "Ride of the Valkyries" scene from "Apocalypse Now". Pure
testosterone
   satire, with a wit as dry as dust.

* From "2010", the air-braking around Jupiter, in which the cosmonaut
   cuddles up to Dr. Floyd because they're both scared sh*tless.
Neither of them
   speaks the other's language, but they communicate with their eyes.
Pure human
   compassion, crossing nations, cultures, and language.

* The scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where Jones decides he hasn't
got
   time to mess with Mister Scimitar using his trademark whip, pulls
out a
   pistol, and blows the guy away. A great sendup of all the stock
action
   scenes, condensed into fifteen seconds of celluloid.

* The "romantic honeymoon" scene in the old house in "It's a Wonderful
Life."
   Any woman who can turn that wrecked house into a love nest is a
*keeper*!

* The final scene in "Casablanca". Can't believe no one picked that
yet.
   Tear-your-heart-out emotion like no other movie.
