Captain Morgan
Rounders- the scene where Matt Damon beats the Russian.
The Thing - where they are sitting on the sofa testing everyones blood.
Inglorious Basterds - The cellar bar scene.
Slapshot - Paul Newman tells the goalie his wifes a lesbian.

In response to Captain Morgan’s post that includes the “cellar bar scene.”

“Well ya don’t gotta be Stonewall Jackson to know ya don’t wanna fight in a basement.”

Plenty of good ones mentioned. Here are 2 of mine:

The Natural 1984 Wrigley Filed
A positively angelic “Iris” willing “Roy” to snap his hitting slump.

Terminate With Extreme Prejudice Apocalypse Now
This entire scene is pure cinematic perfection in a movie that was filled with cinematic perfection. The narration, word choices, nervous throat clearings, pauses, reflections, questionings were expertly layered and nuanced.

I hope that scene took 8 takes





Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Two of my favorites are from Platoon and are from the same character, Rhah:

"Elias didn't ask you to fight his battles for him. And if there's a heaven, and, God, I hope there is, I know he's sitting up there drunk as a fucking monkey and smoking shit, 'cause he done left his pains down here."

"Barnes been shot seven times and he ain't dead. Does that mean anything to you, huh? Barnes ain't meant to die. The only thing that can kill Barnes is Barnes."



“I used to be totally into Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and other shredders, and I tried to emulate what they did and really grow as a guitarist,” Mr. Hanneman said in “Louder Than Hell.” “Then I said, ‘I don’t think I’m that talented, but more important, I don’t care.’ ”

It seems we have a lot of the faint, same favorites, so two that haven’t been mentioned yet are both from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder. I love the way he sings Pure Imagination, because he’s trying to share a world with people he knows are greedy And that he’s tried to keep secret and protect but knows he can’t do it any longer has to resign himself to it. Because of that scene, “You get nothing speech” at the end and Willy Wonka, gently closing his hand over the returned gobstopper becomes really touching. A good deed in a weary world becomes hopeful and magical.

The "P51 Mustang! Cadillac of the Skies!!!" scene from Spielberg's Empire of the Sun. You can almost smell the cordite and avgas.

^One of my favorite scenes also. I remember asking my Dad what kind of gun Steve McQueen was using. "Browning Automatic Rifle, son."
