That ending made that movie _BARELY_ watchable. I'm surprised that I watched it for that long actually.

speaking of unwatchable, anybody ever see Eraserhead? I'm not sure if this should go in this thread or the acid thread. 8O

David Lynch's movie Mulholland Drive has a sequence at the end which is terrifying. It's when the little elderly tourists come in under the girl's door and drive her mad. This isn't that scene but anything from that movie is freaky.

So many choices!

For intensity, I would pick the landing scene on the Normandy beaches in Saving Private Ryan. I was transfixed.

Great educational movie, that's the kinda movie you want your 10 year old to see to turn them off drugs for life, know what I mean?

For some reason the "ass to ass" and "cum cum cum" chanting scenes have always reminded me of the senate after parties.

"I'm on a Mission from GOD!"

I'll probably think of one or two others, but one of my all-time favorite movies just hands-down has to be "The Blues Brothers". (yeah, I am from and still live in Chicago).
There are just too many gems in this movie not to mention it.
There were many classic funny scenes in this movie, great singing, dancing, humor, great cameo roles, and the best damn car chase scene EVER!!!

Bluesmobile


Church scene with James Brown

Dried white toast and 4 whole chickens and a coke

RAWHIDE!

Stand by your man http://youtube.com/watch?v=WIUdOhKztEk

Mall Chase scene http://youtube.com/watch?v=-uPP9A9o7dQ

Minnie the Moocher http://youtube.com/watch?v=nIt4rmv_ZYM

FINAL CHASE SCENE http://youtube.com/watch?v=yNzDOA0y7C0

*MANDATORY TO WATCH THIS scene,it's too funny

This was a great movie, I was working downtown during this time, and was an office manager for a temp agency, (took some time off from college before returning.) and got some of the temps into large crowd and dance scenes in this movie. (Ray Charles scene, and some of the final scenes.)

There is a scene where the "Boys" are looking for someone in their band, and they go to an Italian lady's house in Cicero. My Aunts lived right down that block.

Another scene that was hilarious was when they went to a fancy restaurant to cajole/force/embarass a bandmember back into joining..and ended up making a scene of themselves. "How much for the little girl?"....remember that?

Also, I wish I would have found a clip of Belushi begging for his life from a pissed-off Carrie Fisher under a tunnel leading to their gig..I loved her salon name "Curl UP and Dye"...

Also I wish I would have found a clip of the chase scene with the "Good Ole Boys" finding out Jake had rubber-cemented the accelerator pedal, and he couldn't slow down....

The scene with "the Penguin"....(shot like "Carrie")

The Illinois "Nazi" headquarters...

The film finale in the jail.."Jailhouse rock"...

That was a classic of late 70's, early 80's life that I (sometimes) sorely miss..

I am sure I will think of a few other films, but this is a good start.

*Edit note. click the link if the first link does not work. youtube/and our link was working kinda snarky for me, so I put the url links in for the scenes.

Brrrr... Mulholland Drive gives me the heebies.


This isn't my favorite scene, but it's worth posting: American Psycho - Hip to be Square


Actually, this is my all-time favorite movie scene from: Being There - Life is a State of Mind

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('blukatzen', '"')I'm on a Mission from GOD!"
but this does not do it justice. It was that accent. "I'm on a Mission from Gad!" Is that Chicagoese? Or Detroitese?


Chicagoese! (although you'd think that since they went through so many cars in that film, it would be Detroit. One day's assembly quota just for one scene! lol! In fact, I remember for the final chase scene, under the "el" where the giant crash pileup happens, they smashed up 21 "cop" cars.)

In fact, Dan Ackroyd had the "Chicago-ese accent, specifically the South side accent down very well. (although a little bit exaggerated.) I came from the South side, and grew up with that ('wit 'dat) accent.
In fact, sometimes I still "slip" into that accent, when I am speaking to another South sider. It's almost like the scene with Mia Farrow, in "Radio Days" where she's drunk in a bar and forgets to speak a cultured dialect she struggled to achieve which she uses as a radio star, and slips back into Brooklyn-ese. (?)
Hey, that was another great movie with a lot of memorable scenes.

The Blues Brothers was one of the starter movies that launched a department in our Mayor's office that was motivated to bringing a lot of film production here. Lots of great films produced here. Now, I think they all go to Vancouver, except for shots that require a landmark view.

A lot of people that were on Saturday Night live also got their start in Chicago's famous "Second City" comedy nightclub.

the scene at the end of The Unforgiven when Clint Eastwood loses his farmer persona to avenge his friend Ned and becomes The Killer he used to be and blows away Gene Hackman and all his lackeys. What was so cool about that was the sense of some kind of old monster/legend returning from beyond the grave. It was uncanny.

Yeah... that film is packed with great scenes... but that one is artfully done.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

"Fair ain't got nuthin to do with it"
it was a movie that came out when it looked like Westerns were finished. That movie brought them back to life. BTW, I watched the special disc that came with the last episode of Season One of Deadwood. I don't know why it has a different writer listed each episode, because it appears that the whole thing was the creation of David Milch, the former Yale University professor, former alcoholic, former heroin addict, who also created NYPD Blue. These other writers are just the hired help since Milch was the head writer/creator. Also, they were saying that the language in mining camps of those days was extremely blue. The particular choice of obscenities may or may not have been what you hear in Deadwood but it was apparently not far off since Milch talked about that issue in an interview and it was researched. Much of the story was based on true people and a true town where Wild Bill Hickok is actually buried and Jack McCall was the actual person who shot him, etc. Seth Bullock and his partner: real, Al Swearengen: real; Reverend Smith, Dan Doherty, E. B. Farnum: real, The newspaper guy, real. Alma Garret: fictional.

Oh wow, so many to choose from. This one sticks in my head because I recently re-watched Braveheart.

Robert the Bruce: "I have nothing. Men fight for me because if they do not, I throw them off my land and I starve their wives and children. Those men who bled the ground red at Falkirk fought for William Wallace. He fights for something that I never had. And I took it from him, when I betrayed him. I saw it in his face on the battlefield and it's tearing me apart."
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
