- We’re gonna need a bigger boat!

- Fill your hand you sunofabitch!

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die".
The Princess Bride.

 

[morriss003]

Last scene in Casablanca, from the time the car arrives at the airport.

Casablanca gets my vote with the scene where Victor Lazlo instructs the band to play La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem. The brilliance of first showing these jaded corrupt French people and then their transition to deep emotion as they drown out the Nazi SS always brings tears to my eyes.

 

[BoodaGazelle]

The scene in Ernst Lubitsch’s “Trouble in Paradise”, when Herbert Marshall and Miriam Hopkins are first having dinner, and discover that each is a thief.

Another one is in My Favorite Wife, when Cary Grant gets caught in the phone booth.

 

[mckittri2000]

The "hair gel" scene in Something about Mary

 

[kingkarmann]

Anything Slater had to say about Martha Washington being a real hip lady. She helped grow the weed!
Dazed & Confused!

 

[albundyz]

"Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. "

Shawshank Redemption, Red (morgan freeman) is sitting under the oak tree reading a letter from Andy. That quote really summed up the entire movie for me.

 

[gcgang]

The baptism scene from The Godfather.

 

[O2Bfree]

The last scene of "Harry and Tonto", where Art Carney watches a kid building a sandcastle near the tide line. The kid looks up and defiantly sticks out her tongue, Carney smiles and does the same.

 

[txsman]

The Great Escape

Steve Mcqueen to comandant, The job didn’t work out huh.

 

[Oz investor]

all the wisdom but still no actual knowledge of the future

 

[Brierfield]

Once Upon A Time in the West

Jack Elam in the opening scene at the train station.

 

[1dockem]

Tombstone - so many good quotes!

Deathbed scene in Tombstone.


Doc asks Wyatt what he wanted in life, Wyatt replies that all he ever wanted was "Just to lead a normal life."


Doc replies that "There is no normal life, Wyatt. There's just Life.
Now get on with it!"

 

[hogfan55]

Two of my favorites:
The scene in Scent of a Woman where Pacino takes up for his friend Charlie for not being a snitch. “What the hell is a Baird man!” Also the Thanksgiving dinner table scene.
And the courtroom scene in The Verdict with Paul Newman where he proves the doctor was negligent and caused the death by falsifying the records. Classic!

 

[PointBreeze]

The "Dancing bag" scene from my all-time favorite movie, American Beauty. It was this movie that made me realize I had to FIRE.

Vanishing Point final scene - I was on watch and missed the movie end for a week or so as it played in the mess deck. Hadn't been in an American car in 6 months.

 

[maestro]

Shawshank Redemption courtyard scene where Andy says to Red, "...Get busy living, or get busy dying..." Damn straight.

 

[blueskyk]

Another Shawshank Redemption scene:

Andy has received a shipment of old library books and LP records in response to six years of weekly letter writing to the state to request funding for the prison library. Andy pulls out one of the records and begins playing it – an opera with a soprano duet. He locks the doors to the room and plays the song over the prison PA system. The warden and guards threaten Andy while beating on the door demanding he turn the music off. All the prisoners in the yard turn to the speakers and listen.

Red sums it up:
“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't wanna know. Some things are best left unsaid. I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful it can't be expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you those voices soared, higher and farther than anybody in a grey place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made these walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.”

Seriously, one of the best movies ever...

You can't handle the truth

Absolutely a great scene. Not necessarily one of my favorite movies, but this scene was outstanding. Nicholson's lines give so much to think about. Over and over I have played that scene in my mind trying to decide what is right.

 

[Rianne]

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die".
The Princess Bride.

Mandy Patinkin, an awesome actor. I picture him in the Princess Bride, then as CIA director in Homeland. Two amazing contrary characters. I loved him in both roles.

Casablanca gets my vote with the scene where Victor Lazlo instructs the band to play La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem. The brilliance of first showing these jaded corrupt French people and then their transition to deep emotion as they drown out the Nazi SS always brings tears to my eyes.

[SuzaMan1957]

Outlaw Josey Wells

Dying ain’t much of a living, boy

 

[ckelly78z]

Back in 1982, I still lived at home (Junior in high school), and had my fisrt job at the local Kroger, bagging groceries. I used one of my first paychecks to get the family's first VCR. My good friend, my dad, and I sat in our basement den, and watched Clint Eastwood in "The good, the bad, and the ugly" We actually thought that the sound didn't work on my new purchase because there was no speaking for the first 10 minutes of the movie.

It takes alot of patience to watch this movie.

Love actually . The wedding scene when they started playing "All you need is love "

 

[Rianne]

all the wisdom but still no actual knowledge of the future

I must watch V again. It came out in 2006, I find that interesting.
