What your film cool moment/scenes you like about?

[Goaty]

I DO LOVE THIS SCENE!!!!

DuPont: And you, Preston, the supposed savior of the resistance, are now its destroyer, and, along with them, you've given me yourself... calmly... coolly... entirely without incident.
John Preston: [Polygraph machine scribbling rapidly] No.
[Polygraph suddenly registers Preston completely in control]
Polygraph Technician: Oh... Shit.
John Preston: Not without incident.
[His guns just appears!]

----------------------------
and this one scene in Batman Begins.

Loeb: Gordon... Gordon! All the city's riot police are on the island with you.
Jim Gordon: They're completely incapacitated!
Loeb: Gordon... there's nobody left to send in.
[the Batmobile roars across the bridge]

(wish see clip of that! very classic!)

The bit in The Long Kiss Goodnight - where Geena Davis throws Samuel Jackson out of  a moving car and rather than getting up, he lays still while traffic avoids him and lights up a fag - pretty cool

[Goaty]

mmeet my little faggot! hehe....

as Robert Jr put a bullet in one gun and gamble with a bad man and he just shoot him!

Get Carter.
When a butt-naked Michael Caine, wielding a shotgun, see's off a couple of hoods.

"When a butt-naked Michael Caine, wielding a shotgun, see's off a couple of hoods. "

When the hitmen come for Albert Finney in Miller's Crossing.

The truck/motorbike chase in Terminator 2, specifically the True Grit riff with the shotgun ... the first time I sat in a movie theatre and heard the audience applaud spontaneously.

Great swathes of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The bit in Alien when Dallas (Tom Skerrit) is in the ventilation shafts and the alien jumps him. Gets me. Every. Single. Time.

Oh, God ... you've set me off. Back soon with more.

Cheers

The Ray Harryhausen , Dragon's teeth warriors in Jason and the Argonauts kept me going back for more.
Music score is excellent and the acting incredibley gelling with the animation.


The Stopwatch scene in a Few Dollars More. The music is called Paying off old debts or something?

The Boomerang scene in Mad Max two stuck out. The first time I saw a kid get his grevious bodily harm in first in a film. Fingers!!

[judda fett]

Robocop- In the cocaine factory- "You are all under.. arrest!" setting his targetting on them and mowing them down without even looking where he was firing (the flash get)!

Deadmans Shoes- Where that drug dealer says to Paddy Considines character
"what you fuckin lookin at"?
To which Paddy responds "You ya cunt!"

[TordelBack]

The Ray Harryhausen , Dragon's teeth warriors in Jason and the Argonauts

Still utterly convincing after all these years.  It always amazed me as a kid that there was this (seemingly) distant golden age of Harryhausen SFX that no-one appeared to be able to match.  Quarter century later, and while there's no doubt that CGI can do 'better' skeletons, nothing I've seen matches the believability of that sequence.  A masterpiece.

[johnnystress]

I just watched that the other day..best ever


Also like the Good the Bad and the Ugly one. The scene where Tuco is running wildy through the graveyard as the music swells is amazing too


The zoom into Brody on the beach as the 'shark attacks' in Jaws

The body/car underwater in The Night of The Hunter

[Hoagy]

Ooh, Mitchum's battle between love an hate is simply chilling, showing his evil character's absolute mentalness! :D

[Jim_Campbell]

"The Ray Harryhausen , Dragon's teeth warriors in Jason and the Argonauts"

"Still utterly convincing after all these years."

No argument there. Probably the FX scene by which all other FX scenes should be judged ... Producers of the Fraser/Vosloo 'Mummy' movies take note. A great many of your CGI creations in these movies are sadly wanting.

Cheers!

Also from Jason...

When Talos turns his head, and you know it's not going to end well for Hercules and his 'young friend'

[ThryllSeekyr]

'Clash of the Titans'

When The Pegasus flies back out of the water after the Kraken turns to stone and crumbles, while Perseus thought it had drowned.

Not that I am altogether sure that scene played out that way.

I'm just saying it how I remembered it.

I think it dived into the weater to retreive the Head of Medusa after Perseus dropped it.

Anyway, it's still debatable as I couldn't find the exact scene on You-tube.

Field of Dreams - lot's of it but the moment when the camera pulls back at the end and sees the road upto the farm packed with cars with their headlights on - as far back as the eye can see.

The Forbidden Planet - The tour of the Krell city

Babylon 5 - The Long Twilight Struggle the pull back of Londo watching from the window of the Centauri ship, watching as they use mass drivers to bombard Narn back to the stone age.

[ThryllSeekyr]

I though the thrid one cocerning 'Babylonb Five' sounded intrigueing. So loooked it up You-tube.

Getting the last bit you explained right at the end.

Take note of the ship that looks alot like the Blitzsphere from certain angles as it enters a yellow wyrmhole at 1:40.
