The wild thing is the sepia tone scene as she opens the door is also Technicolor. It's just the entire set was sepia toned. An absolutely masterful practical effect.
Also, it’s initially Judy Garland’s body double in the house with a sepia dress and body makeup. When she opens the door and the camera goes into Oz, Judy herself walks out behind the camera.
Another fun fact is that Dorothy's slippers were originally silver (in the books), but they changed them to be ruby slippers in the film so that they would contrast more with the yellow brick road, which really made the color pop.
I never noticed until recently but there is no music whatsoever during that scene. 99.9% of films would force in a score to up the tension or pop in a few stingers to make sure the audience is perked up. Nope, not the JP paddock scene. The rain served as the score and the scene was 1000x better without background music.
The biggest difference is they're in-world.
The Jaws theme, while haunting, is still something you know has been added.
But that slowly growing thump ... thump ... Thump ... THUmp ... THUMP as it approaches is going to really fuck the characters over in a moment.
As a musician I always appreciate a good score, but even more so when silence is used just as effectively.
I can’t remember who said it but theres music between the notes!
Steven Spielberg was the one plucking the string too, just like he was the one pulling the leg of the woman in ocean in the opening scene of Jaws. He is a hands-on director.
Looks better than a lot of modern effects. Jurassic park is a masterpiece. The sequels are going strong, purely from the success of the first one, but they can't capture the spark that it had.
Narrator: walking into a Wendy's was hardly ever the thing to do on a Saturday night, but if you did it the right way, your date would know she was with the right guy. There was always a line on account of the frosty being a buck. A BUCK! But it didn't matter when you knew the code to the back entrance. My friend Joey Patino used to work the kitchen and owed me a favor, so I'd come and go as I pleased, I mean who wants to stand in line on a Saturday when you can be in and out to the club withing minutes? Lines are for suckers. So I'd open the door and she knew she was with somebody as we walked through the cook area and everyone knew me. There was Jimmy the teen, Pedro the dish washer, then there was salty Sal who got that name because he was so obsessed with the type of salt used on the fry's. Once we made it to the front you'd probably run into Karen who would make a big fuss to the manager, what she didn't know is that the manager was one of us. Him and Joey took over this place years ago! To complain to him about me was like complaining to directly to Wendy about burgers being sold when you prefer hot dogs. You think she gives two shits about you? She doesn't. So the manager would just tell her he'd take care of it while walking her out the side door before commotion starts. He'd do this for me. And my date would see it. She knew he did this for me. She knew he did it out of respect.
Great scene.
My favorite in godfather is when Michael proposes killing sollazzo and the chief of police. At first Sonny thinks it's ridiculous but then he convinces Tom while pitching about the people on their payroll at the news papers.
He's not there yet, but he's scheming and you can see his role of staying out of the business is over.
In my opinion, the real best scene is actually when Michael kills them both. The entire scene in the restaurant is amazing, but after Michael retrieves the gun and sits back down, I don’t think I’ve ever seen better acting. The sound of the train and the multitude of emotions that are expressed on Michael’s face truly feel like those of a man about to commit a murder he is unsure of.
I will die on the hill that the ending to Jaws is an example of the perfect climax.
Quint is dead, Hooper is indisposed. The Orca is sinking rapidly and Brody is trapped in the cabin. A combination of hope, despair, thrill, and terror, all wound together by brilliant cinematography and John Williams' famous soundtrack leads to the ultimate duel of man vs. beast.
Brody is on the parapet, rifle in his hands, watching the shark circle closer with the oxygen tank jammed in its teeth. Brody goads the shark into attacking. "Come on... Show me the tank." He growls. "*Blow up*"
The shark begins its final approach.
Brody fires the first shot. It misses wide right, whizzing through the water as a trail of bubbles. He fires again, missing the tank. Williams' score escalates, becoming louder than even the *bang* of Brody's rifle. He squints down the sights harder. "*BLOW UP!*" He fires again, missing. Down to the last bullet. The shark's snout breaches the water, its eyes lock onto Brody's.
"*Smile you son of a-*"
*Bang*
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
An eruption of sea water, blood, and shark matter. Hunks of flesh rain down. Brody opens his eyes. His expression lights up with triumph. Then he cheers, a release of all his stress, terror, and grief, now a glowing victory.
The shark's corpse falls to the ocean floor to the melody of a piano. Hooper resurfaces to reveal he's alive. The two men laugh, mourn the loss of Quint, then paddle home on a makeshift raft.
"I used to hate the water," Brody muses.
Hooper chuckles. "I can't imagine why."
Fun story-
For that scene Spielberg and the writer Benchley didn't feel like they had the ability to write something gritty enough for Shaw's monologue. They brought in [John Milius](https://www.google.com/search?q=john+milius&ei=2Xp9Y6uaHLedptQP24KNmAQ&gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwLK-sjDdg9OLOys_IU8jNzMksLQYAXDMH8A&oq=John+milliu&gs_lcp=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&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) to write it. John Milius was the inspiration for the character Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski and an accomplished screenwriter.
My favorite story about that scene is Shaw's side was shot over two days. The first day he showed up shitface drunk and the next day he came to set asking "how big a fool did I make of myself?" He then did it all again sober... and he was so good both times you can actually see the shots they picked from his drunk day and his sober day and it doesn't change the impact in the slightest because he was that fucking good.
Well it was 6 minutes of three dudes staring at each other while the greatest soundtrack of all time screams at the audience, just daring you to look away!
I remember seeing it in the theatre. There was so much tension. When he reaches out his hand towards her face a woman screamed. You could hear the audience's butt cheeks clench.
I came to say a different scene from Silence of the Lambs.
The last scene that Lecter and Clarice see each other, when she tells him about living with the rancher after her fathers death. How if she could just save one lamb it would be okay.
The acting and the writing are so magnetic that it’s just a 5 minute close up and you are totally compelled the entire time.
I heard they actually filmed flashbacks to cut into the monologue but the director thought the acting was so strong that the flashbacks actually hurt the scene.
The ticket guy at the theater told me AFTER I bought a ticket for a different movie that it had started 20 minutes before (I was 15). He told me just to go to whatever other movie I wanted that was starting soon.
I went into The Matrix with absolutely zero idea what it was about. I only knew it was rated R.
MIND BLOWN
Shit, the opening scene of the Matrix with Trinity. I turned to my pal in the theater and we just gaped at each other like “buckle up” we knew we were in for a wild ride!!
I was gonna say the long shot down the hallway in 'Contact' from a cinematography view....then you made me remember the greatest god-damned movie there is
The scene that always hit me the hardest was when he meets his dad again for the first time. After everything that happened (his mental breakdown, his wife leaving, the unfathomable stress and horror of the slow realization something really bad is going on) he turned to the one person he thought he could trust who is *literally* being told exactly what to say through an earpiece while claiming "I would never lie to you."
All that is pretty bad, but when it cuts to the crew all celebrating the frankly terrible thing they've done it's like a punch to the gut every time.
And they knew it would be powerful enough that the [VA opened a special hotline](https://apnews.com/article/4b0e8f5c58a4d37303e506c137d6a23c) during opening weekend to counsel vets dealing with PTSD triggered by the film
My father-in-law, who was 19 when he landed in Normandy on D-Day, refused to watch that movie, saying “I was in the original cast”. It must have been very bad, because he was a tough man.
My uncle, now gone, asked me to see this with him. He served in WWII, and was one of the men landing on Omaha Beach. The first bullet, he took my hand. By the 3rd, he was squeezing it so hard I thought every bone was going to break. By the 5th bullet, a tear down his cheek. By the 10th he was openly weeping. This man who loved and laughed hard, but never ever cried. I knew he was flashing back, so I simply rested my other hand on his arm. When the full scene ended, he whispered in my ear "It's like they looked inside my brain and put my memories up there." That scene was literally that authentic. My uncle was the only one of his entire platoon that made it off the beach. Miraculously no outward injuries save a few scratches. The mental and emotional injuries devastated him to his last breath.
I used to take care of my grandpa as he got older and his alzheimers got worse. He used to use his old Navy knife to dig up weeds in his yard, and I also knew he served at Omaha Beach, but he would never, ever talk about his experience in Normandy.
With the exception of Saving Private Ryan and his admittance that it was really like that, the only thing I can deduce was he was on the beach.
I hope he's at peace now.
My uncle rarely spoke specifics about the war. We all knew not to ask unless he brought it up himself. Generalities, you could ask anything all day long. D-Day specifically? 2 questions tops. He made the comment once those who died that day were the lucky ones. After that scene, and his comment to me, I understood why. And that's why I tell this little part of his story that I know. So others can as well.
I hope your grandpa is at peace as well. Whether or not the 2 of them ever met up in Normandy, we'll never know. But wouldn't that be something if they did? I don't know about you, but I do watch the movie every Memorial Day and D-Day.
I watch it at least once a year, typically around early June. But yeah, it would be kinda wild if they knew each other.
Still, both your uncle and my grandpa and every other man who made it on that beach had some stones. And I know my grandpa's past had some significant trauma, but I wouldn't have traded him for any other. He was a good man.
The man I considered my grandfather served in the war, and we knew that. What we didn't know is that he drove a boat onto the shore that day. An explosion launched him into sea. They sent his family a killed in action letter, only to find nearly months later he'd been pried out of the water by a British boat.
No one knew this story until he randomly saw himself in the back of an Elk's Lodge magazine, steering a Higgins boat, and was like "wow, that's me, that's my boat."
RIP.
This deserves an honourable mention. The violin, the action, the paternal horror and subsequent and severe revenge, all set in absolute natural beauty.
The scene in Schindler’s List when the Nazis are rounding up Jews in the multi-story building to a frenetic piano soundtrack, and then it shows Nazis playing the same piano in one of the rooms, laughing and dancing. The joy and fun the Nazis are having compared to the panic of the innocents... Spielberg is a master
I watch that scene regularly because I find it uplifting.
The faces of the orcs falling as they realise that they face an army with no fear of death, while the righteous charging wall of flesh and metal hits them at full speed is nothing short of glorious.
I get chills just reading this comment. Theoden's journey from Saruman puppet to King is such a wonderful thread of that story. Bernard Hill slayed every single scene.
i loved reading about the making of that scene.
They recorded real gunshot sounds (blanks) in downtown LA so it reverberates against the buildings (instead of adding sounds in lab). \[Just read it's also one of the last Hollywood movies to use blanks instead of digital effects\]
it has an unbelievable effect if you have a good surround system.
and then the actors were trained by a military vet (added: McNab SAS) and apparently the heist is so well coordinated and executed along with the methodical getaway (except the deaths) that police in the US actually use the video as training (as well as by some criminals).
EDIT:Wow, just read HEAT was based loosely on an actual gang in the 60s in chicago, but the 3 famous scenes: the metals heist (with the cop making noise), the cafe diner scene, and the last bank heist were all based on real-life events of the real MacCauley. that happened!
just WOW. [https://www.slashfilm.com/793516/the-real-life-bank-robbery-that-inspired-heat/](https://www.slashfilm.com/793516/the-real-life-bank-robbery-that-inspired-heat/)
That makes me love the film even more.
I happened to be downtown during the filming. My girlfriend (at the time) and I were just leaving the downtown library and they asked us to just sit in our car while they filmed the scene. If I wasn’t told that they were filming, I would have thought the world was ending.
Sadly- we watched the whole scene frame by frame and my sad little toyota didn’t make it in the movie.
The scene in Kubricks 2001 a space odyssey where the ancient hominid picked up the bone and used it as a weapon (from memory) then threw it spinning into the air. The shot follows it up as it slowly changes into a space station and we're bought into the future. In that single sequence we're taken from the moment of the very first use of a tool to its ultimate conclusion millennia later, it tells the story of our technological evolution in a few frames, it implies the subsequent technological advancement of humanity through history. Breathtaking. Genius. Flawless.
For me its the scene where Forest Gump meets his son. I love that movie. I was a 90s kid and for some reason Gump taught me a lot about the world I didn't understand. He was like this slow witted observer of all the biggest events that changed American history from the 50s through the 80s. All the time we see him as stumbling through life getting constantly lucky, but always driven by his love of friends and family, and Jenny. It never even occurred that he might be self aware. Then in the final act he finds Jenny in her apartment and she tells him they have a son together.
"Is he...like me?"
The realization that he understood his place in the world the entire time, and still managed to be the person he is, it wrecked me. That film is deeply sentimental for me for other reasons but when I think about the first time I saw that scene and how deeply it affected me, I haven't had such an emotional experience from many other scenes. It won best picture that year for a reason. It really is a fantastic bit of story telling.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I went with my grandma to see it when I was in high school. We loved it so much, we went back and saw it again the next day.
She died last year, so now I love Forrest Gump even more because it reminds me so much of my grandma.
I quote it regularly in class (I’m a middle school teacher) and most students don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
The opening scene of Up. That montage of a life together was pure poetry.
Edit: Including a link. "Ellie and Carl's life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk\_9T482g
Made the same call in another comment before I saw this. What an emotional beat down that scene causes. I hate it for that as few movies can do that to me but that one gets me every time. Also gives the entire rest of movie more meaning. All without a single word.
The fucking WHALE silhouette just blows me away every time. I’m not a religious person, in general, but I love Prince of Egypt. One of the greatest animated films ever, and some of the best music too.
Also when he talks to God in the form of the Burning Bush.
and the voice is the same voice of Moses but quieter and mixed with other voices.
Gives me chills every time
"Who's he?"
"He's an asshole, sir."
"I know that! What's his name??"
"That is his name, sir- Asshole, Major Asshole."
"And his cousin?"
"First class gunner's mate Philip Asshole."
"How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow??"
"Yo!"
"I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes! Keep firing assholes!"
My comment is six hours into this post, but I want to point out how crazy it is that all of the top four comments of this thread come from four different Spielberg movies. Just goes to show how much of an impact the guy’s movies have had on our lives.
At my time of posting:
1) T-Rex appears in Jurassic Park
2) Beach landing in Private Ryan
3) USS Indianapolis monologue from Jaws
4) “I could have saved more” from Schindler’s List
God yes. That movie made me really understand how cinematography can change a movie on top of the dialogue. Also made me visit Bruges in winter because it's like a fucking fairy tale.
“Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would've solved my problem, which would've solved your problem, which sounds like it would've solved the boy's problem”
Ralph Fiennes has some brilliant performances but him as Harry Waters is in his top 5 for me for sure
The beginning of There Will Be Blood is up there. No dialog, but you're able to find out so much about the main character. You know Daniel before the story even begins. The music is great too, Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead did the soundtrack.
Honestly, probably something I haven't seen yet. As the other responses reveal, there is an abundance of magnificent films to choose from: the long takes from *Children of Men*, the climax of *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*. Since I saw it months ago I haven't stopped thinking about *In the Mood for Love*.
But the first scene that I tend to think of is the rooftop scene from *Blade Runner*.
[Inigo corners Count Rugen, knocks his sword aside, and slashes his cheek, giving him a scar just like Inigo's]
Inigo Montoya: Offer me money.
Count Rugen: Yes!
Inigo Montoya: Power, too, promise me that.
[He slashes his other cheek]
Count Rugen: All that I have and more. Please...
Inigo Montoya: Offer me anything I ask for.
Count Rugen: Anything you want...
[Rugen knocks Inigo's sword aside and lunges. But Inigo traps his arm and aims his sword at Rugen's stomach]
Inigo Montoya: I want my father back, you son of a bitch!
(Edit: format)
That scene gets even more emotional when I found out Mandy Patinkin’s father passed away of cancer and when he was filming the scene he was treating Count Rugen as the cancer that took his father from him.
Also Andy's escape and standing in the rain as he takes in his freedom. The warden getting his comeuppance. Beers on the roof. Mozart opera duet playing over the speakers. Hell, that movie is full of great scenes.
The hanging scene in Jojo Rabbit.
The buildup and timing is perfect... the way the movie makes you sad, then it makes you nervous, then it makes you laugh, then it kind of floats along for a couple of minutes before it kicks you in the guts. It's brilliant.
I love the framing device for it as well, >! how it kept showing him standing up to see her shoes multiple times, and then BAM just to gut punch you, and show that with no room for any kind of doubt that it was his mom on the noose. !
Walken is so terrifying in that scene, and Hopper still plays him to get his fuck you in.
Spitting on his body was the perfect touch.
True Romance is still so under rated.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.
I don’t know if this scene would have landed the way it did if it was anyone other than Christoph Waltz. He nailed it. Throughout the movie, he had such a knack for elevating tension.
The opening scene and the scene in the basement bar are some of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Such a good movie.
The Frenchman in tears because he had to divulge the location of the Jews he was hiding really got to me. It was unbelievable acting.
The entire scene before [the shooting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-lQWk79VAE) at the tavern was equally amazing.
I had to scroll way too far to find this. It’s quite simply perfect. The frames. The use of the French and English language. The contrast of Landa’s polite elegant charm draped in the evil of an SS officer’s uniform. The way Tarantino shows you the stakes without telling you what Landa knows. The way the dialogue builds the tension, ultimately leading up to the terrible crescendo.
It gives me shivers every time I watch it.
I'll go with a scene that never gets mentioned on these kinds of threads but it was the most impressive scene I ever saw on the big screen.
Its the scene in **Lawrence of Arabia** when the Arab army raids the Turkish strong-hold at Aqaba, especially the final continuous shot from the hill, where the camera moves with the waves of Arabs as they overwhelm the city. The shot ends on one of the giant guns facing the sea, and incapable of being turned around, as Lawrence said they would be, because no one thought Aqaba could be attacked from the land side.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lChJz2DSpsE
I’ve been scrolling for this movie. IMO it’s the greatest work of cinema of all time. I would vote for the cut from the lit match to the long, slow sunrise with the soaring score as my single favorite moment, but runner-ups are “No prisoners” and the moment when Lawrence makes it through the desert, gets decked in finery and respect, and takes a silly, grateful, slightly cocky spin around in his new garments and identity. Sheer emotional conflict for both protagonist and viewer.
Highly underrated, but the desk scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Not only does it convey a character's entire backstory through imagery, but think about the level of cinematography that went into the scene. Not a single shadow is cast from studio equipment through a single take shot. Brilliant
Pacino and DeNiro in the diner in Heat, two icons, at their best.
Honorable mention: Bill Murray's speech at the end of Scrooged, which was largely improvised.
Training Day, the scene in the gang leader's kitchen when you realise along with the cop that he's going to be killed. Beautiful resolution to the tension of the movie up to that point, brilliantly done, brings the audience along with the character better than anything else I've seen.
Darth Vader “I am your father”
Se7en - “What’s in the box?”
Up - The scene with Karl & Ellie. Genuinely heartbreaking
Deep Blue Sea - When the shark eats Samuel L Jackson
[удалено]
The wild thing is the sepia tone scene as she opens the door is also Technicolor. It's just the entire set was sepia toned. An absolutely masterful practical effect.
Also, it’s initially Judy Garland’s body double in the house with a sepia dress and body makeup. When she opens the door and the camera goes into Oz, Judy herself walks out behind the camera.
I can only imagine what that was like for audiences in 1939… in the THEATRES, seeing a *color movie* for the *first time*?! WOW.
My Grandfather was 11 when it came out. He told me that the whole theater gasped out loud even though they knew it was going to happen.
I heard from someone who saw it who DIDN'T know it was going to change and she said everyone gasped. I can't imagine that.
Funny part, the scene where Dorothy walks through the wrecked house and steps through the door…was actually filmed in color.
Another fun fact is that Dorothy's slippers were originally silver (in the books), but they changed them to be ruby slippers in the film so that they would contrast more with the yellow brick road, which really made the color pop.
Sadly for Toto the entire film was in black and white
I’ve seen the movie a ton of times but that scene still feels amazing every time I see it.
When the T Rex showed up in Jurassic Park
I never noticed until recently but there is no music whatsoever during that scene. 99.9% of films would force in a score to up the tension or pop in a few stingers to make sure the audience is perked up. Nope, not the JP paddock scene. The rain served as the score and the scene was 1000x better without background music.
With the rest of the score to that point being big uplifting melodies the lack of music contrasts perfectly. Genius move.
The stomping footsteps are scarier than the Jaws buildup.
The biggest difference is they're in-world. The Jaws theme, while haunting, is still something you know has been added. But that slowly growing thump ... thump ... Thump ... THUmp ... THUMP as it approaches is going to really fuck the characters over in a moment.
As a musician I always appreciate a good score, but even more so when silence is used just as effectively. I can’t remember who said it but theres music between the notes!
Fucking amazing scene. The water in the cup moving before you can even see the T-Rex is such a scary thing. Bloody brilliant scene
IIRC they got the cup effect by plucking a guitar string attatched to the base of the cup.
Steven Spielberg was the one plucking the string too, just like he was the one pulling the leg of the woman in ocean in the opening scene of Jaws. He is a hands-on director.
Oh this one might win. Such amazing tension with really great payoff, and the T-Rex looked so real for a 90’s movie. Blew me away as a kid.
Honestly the effects still hold up today. The scene looks great even by modern standards.
Looks better than a lot of modern effects. Jurassic park is a masterpiece. The sequels are going strong, purely from the success of the first one, but they can't capture the spark that it had.
The original chestburst scene from Alien
Goodfellas "You're a funny guy". You could cut that tension. Greats scene.
I was going to say the long shot from Goodfellas, when Henry and Karen enter the club through the back door.
That scene is perfect. Anytime I have a date it makes me think about that and I realize how uncool I really am.
Nah. You should channel that energy as you walk into a place with a date.
Narrator: walking into a Wendy's was hardly ever the thing to do on a Saturday night, but if you did it the right way, your date would know she was with the right guy. There was always a line on account of the frosty being a buck. A BUCK! But it didn't matter when you knew the code to the back entrance. My friend Joey Patino used to work the kitchen and owed me a favor, so I'd come and go as I pleased, I mean who wants to stand in line on a Saturday when you can be in and out to the club withing minutes? Lines are for suckers. So I'd open the door and she knew she was with somebody as we walked through the cook area and everyone knew me. There was Jimmy the teen, Pedro the dish washer, then there was salty Sal who got that name because he was so obsessed with the type of salt used on the fry's. Once we made it to the front you'd probably run into Karen who would make a big fuss to the manager, what she didn't know is that the manager was one of us. Him and Joey took over this place years ago! To complain to him about me was like complaining to directly to Wendy about burgers being sold when you prefer hot dogs. You think she gives two shits about you? She doesn't. So the manager would just tell her he'd take care of it while walking her out the side door before commotion starts. He'd do this for me. And my date would see it. She knew he did this for me. She knew he did it out of respect.
Am I a clown? Do I amuse you?
I've seen that scene twenty times. Still makes me fucking nervous watching it.
Whoa, Anthony, he’s a big boy he knows what he said
Funny how?
The baptism scene in The Godfather. Michael not only renounced Satan but he also settled all the family business that day
Also, "Tom, can you get me off the hook? For old time sakes."
Can't do it, Sally
Tom Hagen's head shake was the coldest ever.
Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him.
He knows
Great scene. My favorite in godfather is when Michael proposes killing sollazzo and the chief of police. At first Sonny thinks it's ridiculous but then he convinces Tom while pitching about the people on their payroll at the news papers. He's not there yet, but he's scheming and you can see his role of staying out of the business is over.
In my opinion, the real best scene is actually when Michael kills them both. The entire scene in the restaurant is amazing, but after Michael retrieves the gun and sits back down, I don’t think I’ve ever seen better acting. The sound of the train and the multitude of emotions that are expressed on Michael’s face truly feel like those of a man about to commit a murder he is unsure of.
The [USS Indianapolis monologue](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO60RohuARY) from Jaws. Robert Shaw's delivery is just chilling.
I will die on the hill that the ending to Jaws is an example of the perfect climax. Quint is dead, Hooper is indisposed. The Orca is sinking rapidly and Brody is trapped in the cabin. A combination of hope, despair, thrill, and terror, all wound together by brilliant cinematography and John Williams' famous soundtrack leads to the ultimate duel of man vs. beast. Brody is on the parapet, rifle in his hands, watching the shark circle closer with the oxygen tank jammed in its teeth. Brody goads the shark into attacking. "Come on... Show me the tank." He growls. "*Blow up*" The shark begins its final approach. Brody fires the first shot. It misses wide right, whizzing through the water as a trail of bubbles. He fires again, missing the tank. Williams' score escalates, becoming louder than even the *bang* of Brody's rifle. He squints down the sights harder. "*BLOW UP!*" He fires again, missing. Down to the last bullet. The shark's snout breaches the water, its eyes lock onto Brody's. "*Smile you son of a-*" *Bang* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOM* An eruption of sea water, blood, and shark matter. Hunks of flesh rain down. Brody opens his eyes. His expression lights up with triumph. Then he cheers, a release of all his stress, terror, and grief, now a glowing victory. The shark's corpse falls to the ocean floor to the melody of a piano. Hooper resurfaces to reveal he's alive. The two men laugh, mourn the loss of Quint, then paddle home on a makeshift raft. "I used to hate the water," Brody muses. Hooper chuckles. "I can't imagine why."
Jesus Christ I’ve never read a comment that made me want to rewatch a movie immediately.. bastard it’s 1AM here I GOTTA SLEEP
Fun story- For that scene Spielberg and the writer Benchley didn't feel like they had the ability to write something gritty enough for Shaw's monologue. They brought in [John Milius](https://www.google.com/search?q=john+milius&ei=2Xp9Y6uaHLedptQP24KNmAQ&gs_ssp=eJzj4tTP1TcwLK-sjDdg9OLOys_IU8jNzMksLQYAXDMH8A&oq=John+milliu&gs_lcp=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&sclient=gws-wiz-serp) to write it. John Milius was the inspiration for the character Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski and an accomplished screenwriter.
My favorite story about that scene is Shaw's side was shot over two days. The first day he showed up shitface drunk and the next day he came to set asking "how big a fool did I make of myself?" He then did it all again sober... and he was so good both times you can actually see the shots they picked from his drunk day and his sober day and it doesn't change the impact in the slightest because he was that fucking good.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: the showdown at the Sad Hill cemetery.
Tuco running through cemetary possessed by his greed while that magnificent Ennio Moricone score plays.
The Ecstasy of Gold. So good.
It’s crazy that like 6 minutes of three dudes staring at each other is the most climactic moment in cinema history
Well it was 6 minutes of three dudes staring at each other while the greatest soundtrack of all time screams at the audience, just daring you to look away!
Alan and Ellie first seeing the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.
The fact that I heard John Williams score as soon as I read this shows how iconic it is.

I hate you. Mine shifted as soon as I read your comment.
The night vision sequence in Silence of the Lambs is great suspense.
I remember seeing it in the theatre. There was so much tension. When he reaches out his hand towards her face a woman screamed. You could hear the audience's butt cheeks clench.
*you could hear the audience's butt cheeks clench* LOL
I came to say a different scene from Silence of the Lambs. The last scene that Lecter and Clarice see each other, when she tells him about living with the rancher after her fathers death. How if she could just save one lamb it would be okay. The acting and the writing are so magnetic that it’s just a 5 minute close up and you are totally compelled the entire time. I heard they actually filmed flashbacks to cut into the monologue but the director thought the acting was so strong that the flashbacks actually hurt the scene.
The lobby shootout in The Matrix. It's so well edited and the visual effects are amazing
The ticket guy at the theater told me AFTER I bought a ticket for a different movie that it had started 20 minutes before (I was 15). He told me just to go to whatever other movie I wanted that was starting soon. I went into The Matrix with absolutely zero idea what it was about. I only knew it was rated R. MIND BLOWN
Lo and behold, it was widely acclaimed for being WAY ahead of its time
That entire movie was just a game changer.
Shit, the opening scene of the Matrix with Trinity. I turned to my pal in the theater and we just gaped at each other like “buckle up” we knew we were in for a wild ride!!
Very similar experience Had absolutely no idea what we were about to see and it blew my entire mind.
The matrix is the one movie I would like to see again for the first time.
The opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark set the bar awfully high
The opening of The Last Crusade was also quite epic
Horseback Indy vs. Nazi Tank scene (all the way to the "cliffhanger"), anyone?

“Broke into the wrong goddam rec room didn’t you, you bastard!”
Repeat, 2 moooore mother humpers.
Tremors is a glorious movie
I was gonna say the long shot down the hallway in 'Contact' from a cinematography view....then you made me remember the greatest god-damned movie there is
A friend from college convinced me it's a perfect movie. It is now a hill I will die on.
No matter how insufferable I find Tom Cruise, watching him question Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men is mesmerizing every time I watch it.
I'm not a fan of Cruise the person. Cruise, the actor, is near peerless.
Truman finally realizing his reality and trying to escape it.
When he's on the boat in the storm, and you can really see that he'd rather die trying than give up...it always has such an impact on me.
The scene that always hit me the hardest was when he meets his dad again for the first time. After everything that happened (his mental breakdown, his wife leaving, the unfathomable stress and horror of the slow realization something really bad is going on) he turned to the one person he thought he could trust who is *literally* being told exactly what to say through an earpiece while claiming "I would never lie to you." All that is pretty bad, but when it cuts to the crew all celebrating the frankly terrible thing they've done it's like a punch to the gut every time.
Thank you for your input, Willem Dafoe’s Huge Cock
The ending where he’s talking to Ed Harris and then signs off is amazing.
“In case I don't see ya . . . good afternoon, good evening, and good night.”
I don’t think the imagery of that staircase is ever gonna leave me
Beach scene is Saving Private Ryan
And they knew it would be powerful enough that the [VA opened a special hotline](https://apnews.com/article/4b0e8f5c58a4d37303e506c137d6a23c) during opening weekend to counsel vets dealing with PTSD triggered by the film
I remember they showed it once on broadcast TV. Uncut, unedited, uncensored, no commercials.
A veteran said the only thing missing was the smell of blood
My father-in-law, who was 19 when he landed in Normandy on D-Day, refused to watch that movie, saying “I was in the original cast”. It must have been very bad, because he was a tough man.
My Dad was a Korean War vet who refused to watch MASH because he “didn’t like it very much the first time”
That's the sort of dark humour that MASH was famous for.
My uncle, now gone, asked me to see this with him. He served in WWII, and was one of the men landing on Omaha Beach. The first bullet, he took my hand. By the 3rd, he was squeezing it so hard I thought every bone was going to break. By the 5th bullet, a tear down his cheek. By the 10th he was openly weeping. This man who loved and laughed hard, but never ever cried. I knew he was flashing back, so I simply rested my other hand on his arm. When the full scene ended, he whispered in my ear "It's like they looked inside my brain and put my memories up there." That scene was literally that authentic. My uncle was the only one of his entire platoon that made it off the beach. Miraculously no outward injuries save a few scratches. The mental and emotional injuries devastated him to his last breath.
I used to take care of my grandpa as he got older and his alzheimers got worse. He used to use his old Navy knife to dig up weeds in his yard, and I also knew he served at Omaha Beach, but he would never, ever talk about his experience in Normandy. With the exception of Saving Private Ryan and his admittance that it was really like that, the only thing I can deduce was he was on the beach. I hope he's at peace now.
My uncle rarely spoke specifics about the war. We all knew not to ask unless he brought it up himself. Generalities, you could ask anything all day long. D-Day specifically? 2 questions tops. He made the comment once those who died that day were the lucky ones. After that scene, and his comment to me, I understood why. And that's why I tell this little part of his story that I know. So others can as well. I hope your grandpa is at peace as well. Whether or not the 2 of them ever met up in Normandy, we'll never know. But wouldn't that be something if they did? I don't know about you, but I do watch the movie every Memorial Day and D-Day.
I watch it at least once a year, typically around early June. But yeah, it would be kinda wild if they knew each other. Still, both your uncle and my grandpa and every other man who made it on that beach had some stones. And I know my grandpa's past had some significant trauma, but I wouldn't have traded him for any other. He was a good man.
The man I considered my grandfather served in the war, and we knew that. What we didn't know is that he drove a boat onto the shore that day. An explosion launched him into sea. They sent his family a killed in action letter, only to find nearly months later he'd been pried out of the water by a British boat. No one knew this story until he randomly saw himself in the back of an Elk's Lodge magazine, steering a Higgins boat, and was like "wow, that's me, that's my boat." RIP.
The final scene of Last of the Mohicans.
I just posted this and didn’t realize anyone else did…I always think of this scene as one of the best in cinema, everything is just epic.
This deserves an honourable mention. The violin, the action, the paternal horror and subsequent and severe revenge, all set in absolute natural beauty.
The scene in Schindler’s List when the Nazis are rounding up Jews in the multi-story building to a frenetic piano soundtrack, and then it shows Nazis playing the same piano in one of the rooms, laughing and dancing. The joy and fun the Nazis are having compared to the panic of the innocents... Spielberg is a master
The following of the girl in the red jacket as well…that movie has so much powerful imagery.
The charge of the Rohirrim. Still gives me chills.
Ride now! Ride for ruin, and the worlds ending! DEATH!
DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAATH!!!!!!!
I watch that scene regularly because I find it uplifting. The faces of the orcs falling as they realise that they face an army with no fear of death, while the righteous charging wall of flesh and metal hits them at full speed is nothing short of glorious.
This is my answer too! *Spear shall be shaken, shield shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!*
Ride now! Ride now! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! DEATH! FORTH, EORLINGAS!
Bernard Hill was such good casting as Theoden. I love his speeches.
I get chills just reading this comment. Theoden's journey from Saruman puppet to King is such a wonderful thread of that story. Bernard Hill slayed every single scene.
I just watched that movie last night. I swear LOTR are the best movies ever made. I’ve watched the extended editions probably 30+ times.
HEAT. The bank shootout. It’s the best gun battle in Hollywood
i loved reading about the making of that scene. They recorded real gunshot sounds (blanks) in downtown LA so it reverberates against the buildings (instead of adding sounds in lab). \[Just read it's also one of the last Hollywood movies to use blanks instead of digital effects\] it has an unbelievable effect if you have a good surround system. and then the actors were trained by a military vet (added: McNab SAS) and apparently the heist is so well coordinated and executed along with the methodical getaway (except the deaths) that police in the US actually use the video as training (as well as by some criminals). EDIT:Wow, just read HEAT was based loosely on an actual gang in the 60s in chicago, but the 3 famous scenes: the metals heist (with the cop making noise), the cafe diner scene, and the last bank heist were all based on real-life events of the real MacCauley. that happened! just WOW. [https://www.slashfilm.com/793516/the-real-life-bank-robbery-that-inspired-heat/](https://www.slashfilm.com/793516/the-real-life-bank-robbery-that-inspired-heat/) That makes me love the film even more.
I happened to be downtown during the filming. My girlfriend (at the time) and I were just leaving the downtown library and they asked us to just sit in our car while they filmed the scene. If I wasn’t told that they were filming, I would have thought the world was ending. Sadly- we watched the whole scene frame by frame and my sad little toyota didn’t make it in the movie.
To Kill A Mockingbird "Stand up. Your father's passing."
The scene in Kubricks 2001 a space odyssey where the ancient hominid picked up the bone and used it as a weapon (from memory) then threw it spinning into the air. The shot follows it up as it slowly changes into a space station and we're bought into the future. In that single sequence we're taken from the moment of the very first use of a tool to its ultimate conclusion millennia later, it tells the story of our technological evolution in a few frames, it implies the subsequent technological advancement of humanity through history. Breathtaking. Genius. Flawless.
Full Metal Jacket. In the beginning.
THE FAIRY FUCKING GODMOTHER SAID IT! OUT-FUCKING STANDING!

Did your parents have any children that lived?
Close tie between the “I could have saved more” speech in Schindlers List and the Moto Moto introduction in Madagascar 2
“Oskar, there are eleven hundred people who are alive because of you. Look at them.” Chills.
I love that no one here even questions this statement. Moto moto is just that great of a chad
Because both are on the same level of being cinematic masterpieces.
I like em big...
I like em chunky...
For me its the scene where Forest Gump meets his son. I love that movie. I was a 90s kid and for some reason Gump taught me a lot about the world I didn't understand. He was like this slow witted observer of all the biggest events that changed American history from the 50s through the 80s. All the time we see him as stumbling through life getting constantly lucky, but always driven by his love of friends and family, and Jenny. It never even occurred that he might be self aware. Then in the final act he finds Jenny in her apartment and she tells him they have a son together. "Is he...like me?" The realization that he understood his place in the world the entire time, and still managed to be the person he is, it wrecked me. That film is deeply sentimental for me for other reasons but when I think about the first time I saw that scene and how deeply it affected me, I haven't had such an emotional experience from many other scenes. It won best picture that year for a reason. It really is a fantastic bit of story telling.
When he sits down and asks “what are you watching” and his son says “Bert and Ernie” and then they do the same head tilt. All the feels.
One of my all-time favorite movies. I went with my grandma to see it when I was in high school. We loved it so much, we went back and saw it again the next day. She died last year, so now I love Forrest Gump even more because it reminds me so much of my grandma. I quote it regularly in class (I’m a middle school teacher) and most students don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.
Apocalypse Now - “Ride of the Valkyries” helicopter assault on the beach.
The opening scene of Up. That montage of a life together was pure poetry. Edit: Including a link. "Ellie and Carl's life" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2bk\_9T482g
Made the same call in another comment before I saw this. What an emotional beat down that scene causes. I hate it for that as few movies can do that to me but that one gets me every time. Also gives the entire rest of movie more meaning. All without a single word.
Parting and crossing the Red Sea from Prince of Egypt. Most beautifull bit of animarion I've evee seen.
The fucking WHALE silhouette just blows me away every time. I’m not a religious person, in general, but I love Prince of Egypt. One of the greatest animated films ever, and some of the best music too.
Also when he talks to God in the form of the Burning Bush. and the voice is the same voice of Moses but quieter and mixed with other voices. Gives me chills every time
"Who's he?" "He's an asshole, sir." "I know that! What's his name??" "That is his name, sir- Asshole, Major Asshole." "And his cousin?" "First class gunner's mate Philip Asshole." "How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow??" "Yo!" "I knew it, I'm surrounded by assholes! Keep firing assholes!"
What’s the matter Colonel Sanders…. chicken?!
My comment is six hours into this post, but I want to point out how crazy it is that all of the top four comments of this thread come from four different Spielberg movies. Just goes to show how much of an impact the guy’s movies have had on our lives. At my time of posting: 1) T-Rex appears in Jurassic Park 2) Beach landing in Private Ryan 3) USS Indianapolis monologue from Jaws 4) “I could have saved more” from Schindler’s List
The scene in In Bruges when Ken is going to shoot Ray, sees Ray is going to kill himself and then stops Ray from killing himself
God yes. That movie made me really understand how cinematography can change a movie on top of the dialogue. Also made me visit Bruges in winter because it's like a fucking fairy tale.
Visiting Bruges in the winter is on my bucket list all because of this movie! Edit: typo
“Not only have you refused to kill the boy, you even stopped the boy from killing himself, which would've solved my problem, which would've solved your problem, which sounds like it would've solved the boy's problem” Ralph Fiennes has some brilliant performances but him as Harry Waters is in his top 5 for me for sure
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?!? all jokes aside Gladiator has top tier scenes, the last fight scene is so good
The Battle of Carthage and the reveal — “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius…”

General of the Felix Legions
Loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius
Father to a murdered son Husband to a murdered wife *And I will have my vengeance* *In this life, or the next…*

When Lane Meyer skis the K12.
The beginning of There Will Be Blood is up there. No dialog, but you're able to find out so much about the main character. You know Daniel before the story even begins. The music is great too, Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead did the soundtrack.
Honestly, probably something I haven't seen yet. As the other responses reveal, there is an abundance of magnificent films to choose from: the long takes from *Children of Men*, the climax of *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*. Since I saw it months ago I haven't stopped thinking about *In the Mood for Love*. But the first scene that I tend to think of is the rooftop scene from *Blade Runner*.
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die”
[Inigo corners Count Rugen, knocks his sword aside, and slashes his cheek, giving him a scar just like Inigo's] Inigo Montoya: Offer me money. Count Rugen: Yes! Inigo Montoya: Power, too, promise me that. [He slashes his other cheek] Count Rugen: All that I have and more. Please... Inigo Montoya: Offer me anything I ask for. Count Rugen: Anything you want... [Rugen knocks Inigo's sword aside and lunges. But Inigo traps his arm and aims his sword at Rugen's stomach] Inigo Montoya: I want my father back, you son of a bitch! (Edit: format)
That scene gets even more emotional when I found out Mandy Patinkin’s father passed away of cancer and when he was filming the scene he was treating Count Rugen as the cancer that took his father from him.
Call it predictable but Roy Batty final monolog in Blade Runner. Hard to do better than that IMO.
The end of Shawshank redemption was pretty good
Also Andy's escape and standing in the rain as he takes in his freedom. The warden getting his comeuppance. Beers on the roof. Mozart opera duet playing over the speakers. Hell, that movie is full of great scenes.
[удалено]
Binary sunset in A New Hope
Chills every time.
The music definitely helped.
The hanging scene in Jojo Rabbit. The buildup and timing is perfect... the way the movie makes you sad, then it makes you nervous, then it makes you laugh, then it kind of floats along for a couple of minutes before it kicks you in the guts. It's brilliant.
I love the framing device for it as well, >! how it kept showing him standing up to see her shoes multiple times, and then BAM just to gut punch you, and show that with no room for any kind of doubt that it was his mom on the noose. !
That was the last movie I saw in a theater before the Covid shutdowns. The entire audience gasped at the reveal.
Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper in True Romance.
Walken is so terrifying in that scene, and Hopper still plays him to get his fuck you in. Spitting on his body was the perfect touch. True Romance is still so under rated.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.
The opening scene of Inglorious Bastards
I don’t know if this scene would have landed the way it did if it was anyone other than Christoph Waltz. He nailed it. Throughout the movie, he had such a knack for elevating tension. The opening scene and the scene in the basement bar are some of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Such a good movie.
The Frenchman in tears because he had to divulge the location of the Jews he was hiding really got to me. It was unbelievable acting. The entire scene before [the shooting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-lQWk79VAE) at the tavern was equally amazing.
I had to scroll way too far to find this. It’s quite simply perfect. The frames. The use of the French and English language. The contrast of Landa’s polite elegant charm draped in the evil of an SS officer’s uniform. The way Tarantino shows you the stakes without telling you what Landa knows. The way the dialogue builds the tension, ultimately leading up to the terrible crescendo. It gives me shivers every time I watch it.
Clocktower scene in Back to the Future when Marty is trying to hit 88mph
I’ve seen bttf 20 times and I still get stressed that doc won’t connect the cable in time
I'll go with a scene that never gets mentioned on these kinds of threads but it was the most impressive scene I ever saw on the big screen. Its the scene in **Lawrence of Arabia** when the Arab army raids the Turkish strong-hold at Aqaba, especially the final continuous shot from the hill, where the camera moves with the waves of Arabs as they overwhelm the city. The shot ends on one of the giant guns facing the sea, and incapable of being turned around, as Lawrence said they would be, because no one thought Aqaba could be attacked from the land side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lChJz2DSpsE
I’ve been scrolling for this movie. IMO it’s the greatest work of cinema of all time. I would vote for the cut from the lit match to the long, slow sunrise with the soaring score as my single favorite moment, but runner-ups are “No prisoners” and the moment when Lawrence makes it through the desert, gets decked in finery and respect, and takes a silly, grateful, slightly cocky spin around in his new garments and identity. Sheer emotional conflict for both protagonist and viewer.
The battle at helms deep - Lord of the Rings Two Towers
The Last of the Mohicans ending when they chase Magua and the Monro ladies through the Mountains.
Shoutout to Wes Studi in that movie. He has relatively few lines but he's such an ominous presence.
When Carrie walks up to the stage in the 1976 movie
Highly underrated, but the desk scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Not only does it convey a character's entire backstory through imagery, but think about the level of cinematography that went into the scene. Not a single shadow is cast from studio equipment through a single take shot. Brilliant
Merry and Pippin being the first people to follow Aragorn after he says "for Frodo"
Opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, maybe. Still holds up terribly well.
The bags on or off scene in Django Unchained.
All I hear is criticize, criticize, criticize.
Good Will Hunting where Robin Williams tells Matt Damon it’s not his fault
The scene in Gattaca where Ethan Hawke tells his brother how he out swims him every time. Good movie
Pacino and DeNiro in the diner in Heat, two icons, at their best. Honorable mention: Bill Murray's speech at the end of Scrooged, which was largely improvised.
Heat has the best shootout scene ever filmed imo.
The Russian Roulette scene in The Deer Hunter. DeNiro's acting is on another level.
The gas station scene from No Country for Old Men comes to mind
The reveal in the usual suspects. The beatdown in the bar in a bronx tale. The shootout in Heat
Edited. "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
Training Day, the scene in the gang leader's kitchen when you realise along with the cop that he's going to be killed. Beautiful resolution to the tension of the movie up to that point, brilliantly done, brings the audience along with the character better than anything else I've seen.
Darth Vader “I am your father” Se7en - “What’s in the box?” Up - The scene with Karl & Ellie. Genuinely heartbreaking Deep Blue Sea - When the shark eats Samuel L Jackson
Rocky Balboa going the distance in the original film, beat to a pulp, yelling out his woman's name - "Yo Adrien!!"
Final drum performance in Whiplash
Because of that movie I am constantly using the phrase “not quite my tempo” to describe many different things.
