what movie scenes will you never forget, unless you're dementing?
-Empire: "luke.. I am your father". movie history
-Starship troopers: The attack and withdrawal from klendathu. nuff said
-Usual suspects: the end. Didn't see it coming. Makes you doubt the whole movie.
-Platoon: Willem Dafoe's last run. soulshredding...
-Se7en: final confrontation.. Whether or not Pitt shoots the guy.
I'll probably come up with more later on..

- Full metal jacket - The last night in the bootcamp. When the fat crazy private shot the drill instructor, and then himself.
- More a moment than a scene: FOTR : Bilbo and Frodo in Rivendell when Bilbo sees the ring and morphs and hisses while reaching for the ring.

spider-man - the first time he swings thru the streets (after his uncle ben got killed) ... i got such an immense goose-skin when i first saw that scene in cinema --- amazing
terminator 2 - when schwarzenegger says at the end: "sereīs won chip left" and the he tips on his forehead and jumps into the Lava (he was not jumping into you Ra, i know ... omg what a miserable word game :o )
the matrix - when neo dodges the bullets in slowmo ...
i could name thousand other unforgetable scenes --- more to come later ...

Army of Darkness- crush a goblet.."groovy"
Star Wars: Han runs off down a hallway after stormtroopers...then runs back yelling.

Hell yeah, my all time fav movie. Although I think he calls him an SOB.
Think my favorite scene from Army of Darkness is when his evil head is in the grave and Ash says
"Hey..uh whats that on your face?"
Evil head all looks around and then gets hit with a big shovel full of dirt. Awesome stuff.

I'd have to explain that my last name is Roberts and that whole scene is just fun for me to say. I won't argue your choice - classic.

Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind - Nausicaa gets shot by these dudes torturing a child Omu. Then she burns her ankle trying to keep the omu from going into the lake of acid.
Laputa: Castle in the Sky - Laputa leaps off a castle while Pazu hanging upside down catches her right after the apex of the leap. You just *have* to see this scene. It is just awesome.
WHEN WILL DISNEY BRING THESE TO THE USA?! Nausicaa.net has no info on this... anyone have any idea? I want these 2 on DVD big time.
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro - Opening car chase scene. Steven Spielberg himself has been quoted as saying that this is one of the best car chases ever commited to celluloid. ;P How's that for an endorsement? Lots of memorable scenes in this one... Another scene is Lupin leaping from building to building against his will to rescue the princess.

"He should have armed himself." - Unforgiven. This is my favorite movie!
"I'm not here to make a record, ya dumb cracka....They broadcast me out on the radio!" -O Brother Where Art Thou.
"Betty Boop. What a dish. Betty Grable, nice cans...F'*ck Hitler..." - saving Private Ryan. There aren't words for how this movie makes me feel.
And for all the ladies out there, "Shit! I was eloquent!" - You've Got Mail. I absolutely hate these Meg Ryan movies, but Hanks is always great! And that scene in particular is excellent! :)
Like everyone else, I'm leaving out a lot.

In no particular order.................
The Matrix: Neo and Morpheus fight in the dojo.
Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind: Arrival of the mothership and the musical conversation.
Karate Kid 1: The final fight.
One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest: The escape.
ET: The dead flower comes back to life and we know ET is okay. Hurrah!
Pulp Fiction: Bruce Willis selects a weapon............
True Romance: Dennis Hopper (about to be killed) gives Christopher Walken a unique history lesson.
Now, all of the above scenes are GOOD but the scene that is possibly the most impressive I can remember is: ----
Spartacus: I'm Spartacus!! - I'm Spartacus! - I'm Spartacus!! - I'm Spartacus!! - I'm Spartacus!! etc etc.

I still get goosebump when I watch the scene in Superman the movie where Reeves first turns into Superman.:D
Oh...um...my memories are of the oldtimers...
Rebel without a cause: When James Dean screams 'You're tearing me apart!' as well as the chicken race, the knife fight and when he attacks his father on the stairs. Great movie.
A Night at the Opera: the cabin scene. (...'and two hardboiled eggs'...) the contract sketch, and Harpo's swinging from the rafters behind the scene making the backdrops change.
East of Eden: When the father refuses to take the money and the kiss in the ...ferris wheel/paris wheel...I just forgot the English word for it.
To Have and Have Not: Lauren Bacall's really saucy reply to Bogart.
Some Like it Hot: Tony Curtis's imitation of Cary Grant on the beach, and the end of the movie. ("well, nobody's perfect")
Sunset Boulevard: Gloria Swanson's decent from the staircase: "I'm ready for my close-up, Mr deMille."
...'newer' movies:
Lethal Weapon: Gibson "talking" the jumper down from the building."
Fight club: When Norton realizes he's schitzo and the scene where he shoots himself.
eh, there's lots more but I can't put it all here.

I like the "instant video cassette" sketch a lot better. ("when is now?" "you just missed it!") That and "What have we got, a cuisinart?!?"
Blazing Saddles is just loaded with fun stuff! Personal fave is Kahn going "Du bist Verlumpt... Verloren... Verkackt........ Wir fahren aus Deutschland..!" and the 'schnitzengruben' as well as Kahn going "OH! It's twue, it's TWUE!!" upon finding the answer to the "truth" about black men.

Which isn't as funny as the part they cut, where he says "excuse me, but you're holding onto my arm"
I preferred Kahn half-nekkid in History of the World Part I, singing "No, no, no, yes... no, no, yes... no, no, no, no, no, YEEEESSSSS!!!"
As for Spaceballs... man, that film is too full of good bits.
"They've gone to PLAID!!"
"I hate when I get my schwartz tangled"
Mel is a funny old guy.
i just saw magnolia. i don't think i'll forget the frogs.

Clash of The Titans : When Perseus confronts Medusa.
The Matrix : When Neo stops the bullets.
Blazing Saddles : When Dark Helmet crashes into the wall. And after the ring fight "Oh I cant believe you fell for it again!"
Scarface : When Al Pacino shoots the guy that was supposed to kill the guy who was giving the Columbians a bad rap ( you knew it was his ass when the Columbian guy finds out).
Spider-Man : The opening credits, no action but I almost pissed myself with anticipation.
The Exorcist : The final attempt at exocising Megan.
and finally
The Two Towers :When The Bombrunner(for lack of better term) runs into water tunnel under the bridge and blows the mutha up even with, was it 3 Legolas arrows in him? And when the back-up on horseback finally arrive with Gandalf.

THE PRINCE OF EGYPT- the scene/song with the plagues. The scene/song when the jews are set free and, of course, the scene where Moses parts the sea.

THE BLUES BROTHERS- the scene with the penguin where she keeps hitting them and they keep cursing so she keeps hitting them.

ALIEN- when the alien pops out of the guy's stomach
PREDATOR 2- when we see the inside of the ship and they have an Alien (like the prior movie) skull as a trophy.
SLEEPERS- when Kevin Bacon's character rapes that little kid. I cried like a little girl.

DANGEROUS LIEZONS- when Glenn Close gets booed out of the theater.

The two times I have ever gotten chills from watching a scene in a movie.
First:
THE MATRIX: The moment when the two agents look at Neo, look at eachother, and run away.
Second:
Fellowship of The Ring: When Arwin(sp) tricks the RingWraiths into coming into the water and then summons the horses.
God, I love movies.

Did you know that scene was totally ad-libbed by Harrison Ford?
He was sick from dysentery or something (probably not that but he was really ill that day) and instead of doing the planned fight scene in the script... he pulls out his gun and shoots the swordsman.
Spielberg said, "Heh.. I like it! print it!"
MY Choices...
WEIRD SCIENCE- Too many to choose from.
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN- the first 20 minutes.. yikes.
STAR TREKK II WRATH OF KAHN- The Death of Spock
STAR WARS ANH- the scene where the 3 stormtroopers break thru the door where Artoo and Threepio are hiding on the Death Star and one of them catches his helmet on the top of the door frame.. THUNK! (stagger) Classic.. go back and look for this one.. it's the trooper on the right hand side of the screen as they enter.
STAR WARS ESB- Luke vs Vader. the whole lightsaber duel and the "I...am your Father"
ALIEN- Chestburster. nuff said.
ALIENS- Game Over Man! Game Over!
PREDATOR- "I'm gonna have me some fun.. gonna HAVE me some fun.. gonna have me some fun.." (SPLAT!) "...Anytime...."
T2- Sarah's Apocalypse Dream sequence (shiver)
THE MATRIX- Neo stopping the bullets AKIRA Style.
LOTR-Fellowship- When Sauron shows up and kicks some major Elven/Men's ass on the slopes of Mount Doom. (opening sequence) also Gandalf vs the Balrog
LOTR- 2 Towers- Helm's Deep.. beginning to end.
SPIDERMAN- "Go Web!.... Fly....! Up Up and AWAY WEB!" hilarious
WINGS OF HOHNIAMISE (SP?) - The Rocket launch sequence.
GHOST IN THE SHELL- the opening Scene where the guy gets shot..then explodes.
BLADE RUNNER- after getting clocked in the head by Deckerd with a pipe.. Rutger Hauer,"That's the SPIRIT!"
THE RING- the scene with the guy towards the end in his apartment..the TV.. the girl.. (whew.. that movie stuck with me for a few days.. and horror movies don't get to me very often)
lessee... brain drain.. that's all I can come up with at the Mo..

Future Man walks over to the pool, asks if the Wilson bros. have seen Bob. They're like "he's in the house". Future Man bends over the pool, sticks his hand in and, as he's pulling out a single leaf from an otherwise pristine pool, goes "what the **** is this".
Future Man and friend then proceed to beat the crap out of Bob off camera.
