What your film cool moment/scenes you like about?

[adeh20]

darn, should have put an it or two in there somewhere

[Tiplodocus]

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK
"Truck? What Truck?"
"It's not the years, it's the mileage."

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
The little look Leia and Chewie give each other when the hyperdrive fails to work at the end.
Oh and Walkers. Coolest. Film. Special. Effect. Ever.

ROBOCOP
"Come on Sal, Tigers are playing tonight. Never miss a game".

APOCOLYPSE NOW
Two bits - where the nutty bloke uses the trench mortar and the bit where they sail under the tail of a downed B52 bomber with all the colourful birds around them - into another world.

FELLOWSHIP OF RING
The whole of the Moria sequence.
Then the really cool way Aragorn twirls his sword as he walks toward about a hundred Uruk Hai.
(not so keen on the other films but special mention goes to the charge of the Rohirim in Return of the King - brought a tear to my eye. As did Sam picking up Frodo on Mount Doom)

indy jones and the last crusade when indy sticks a flagpole in the nazi wheelsand laughs then his dad gives that dis approving look that dads do and we see indy deflated and a bit embarrassed.

[Trout]

Manon Des Sources, eh?

Well, if we're getting into foreign language films, how about the bit where the adult Toto sees what the projectionist left him in his will?

Tears down the cheeks, no matter how many times I watch it.

Oh, and the first five minutes of Betty Blue...

"Tears down the cheeks, no matter how many times I watch it."

The end of Cyrano de Bergerac.

Cheers

[Wils]

"Tears down the cheeks, no matter how many times I watch it."

The end of Silent Running.

[satchmo]

I can't watch Silent Running anymore it's too upsetting! Love it though.

Hana-Bi is a real tearjerker too.

[Funt Solo]

What upsets me now about Silent Running is that a botanist doesn't know about photosynthesis.

[ThryllSeekyr]

'Slent Running' Was a good film in own day.

It may have been the third in an increasingly poor sequence of films, and Star Wars may be all but dead for me and I may look at george Lucas with a mix of pity and disgust.  *But* I'll always love the scene with The Emperor, Darth and Luke on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi.

The Emperor playing them both like puppets, Luke giving into the dark side before renouncing it and saying he is a Jedi knight, like his father before him, the Emperors subsequent electro-wrath and finally, Darth's look between Luke and the Emperor and the exact point where you somehow see a man in a mask change his mind and do the impossible, chucking the old geezer into the pre-health and safety check shaft like the sorry old sack of shite he is.

The rest of the film is a bit of a ragbag, but that stuff is truly great.

Also... the end of Escape from LA.  It may have been a pretty patchy movie, but at the end when Pliscan enters the code, the music strikes up and the satellites unfurl, I get shivers.  Snake Pliscan, the man who killed civilisation.  What a guy.

Excalibur has many many great moments, but Arthur dying at sunset always gets me.

All of those three give me that thrill power surge where you feel the electricity coursing through your nerves.

[ThryllSeekyr]

'Close Encounters of THird Kind'

When Roy Neary ( Richard Dreffus.) is finally seeing the same Landmark on televsion that he has been recreating via the medium of clay and other craft materials in his lounge room after his wife and kids had left him.

Alot of the night time sequences of this film were particuly good.

The Wickerman

The opening scene of the plane flying over the mountains

the middle bit

and the fantastic ending



The Nicholas Cage version

The Bear doing karate, punching women in the face "Bicthes!"

[I, Cosh]

The Wickerman

The opening scene of the plane flying over the mountains
Agreed. Briliant shot. The rest of it's rubbish though.

The "travelling without moving" bit always makes the effort of watching Dune seem almost worthwhile for me.

[johnnystress]

"The rest of it's rubbish though. "



swoooon....bump

[Hoagy]

The opening scenes to Dirty Harry.That score is the beans.

Come to think of it; any downtown driving scene in Taxi Driver. Sheeit, the climatic gunfight in the penultimate scenes.
