What is your favourite film moment?

[GOLDBUGGY]

Men in Black ll.

When he is showing his partner the latest technology of a very expensive Black Limousine and a Fake White Dummy Chauffeur who pops up and looks like he is actually driving it. Then says;

"We used to have a Black Dude, but he kept getting pulled over".

Having been a trainee hippy- love that scene in the Lord of the Rings where Gandalf explains that there is nothing to fear from death- you see a white coast- green fields.

Of course for anyone who lived in England many years ago- it pulls the heart strings.

John Wayne - True Grit. 'Well come see a fat old man sometime' as he jumps the fence on his replacement horse.

My one is

"Bridges over Madison County", with Clint Eastwood and Meryll Streep" , the bit st the end when she is in the truck with her husband and Clint is in the truck in front, and she is contemplating getting out of the Truck, her hand was on the handle..... It was so so moving and I felt for him and her, the husband was oblivious to what was going on.....

Anyway, that's my favourite, and yes I am an Old Queen......

At your age I don't think you really qualify as an Old Queen- but certainly like your choice.

Scarface ,say hello to my little friend!!!

I would think for anyone living in Thailand:

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore"

[alfalfa19]

"The Spy Who Came in From the Cold", when Richard Burton and his GF are crossing the Berlin Wall. They are almost home free, when the girl gets shot. Burton can make it over, but when he realizes the whole thing has been a betrayal, he stops, turns back, and goes back to the dying girl. Then he is shot too.

[Dr Robert]

My favourite film moment was in the back stalls during A Lion in Winter, when I kissed Debbie Fletcher

and she kissed me back and the world of movies pronounced the beginning of my manhood.

Its a moment I have spent a lifetime trying to recreate.

[Jip99]

In Jaws when Hooper is startled by a corpse popping out of the hull of a boat.

I think 60% of the audience immediately lit a cigarette to calm their nerves!

[mutha289]

Without naming the movies or the actors and in no particular order here are some of my favorite movie lines:

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine!

You know how to whistle, don’t you Steve? You just put your lips together, and blow!

It's not a tumor!

I've got a bad feeling about this!

I'll be back.

The ox is slow but the earth is patient.

I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!

Fill your hand, you son of a bitch!

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.

Go ahead, make my day.

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

You can't handle the truth!

If you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!

Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!

There's no crying in baseball!

Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!

I am serious . . . and don't call me Shirley.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

Captain, maybe we ought to turn on the search lights now. No...that's just what they'll be expecting us to do.

This will not look good on a resume!

Apocalypse Now, without question. I saw it 5 times the first month that it came out and have seen it numerous times since then. I have often intended to watch just the beginning, for one reason or another, and end up watching it all the way through, yet again.

I think that it is a flawed masterpiece, because the ending was so screwy, with a 300 pound Marlon Brando as a "guerrilla" fighter in the middle of the Cambodian jungle, but, iMO, it is still the best film of all time.

Great film with some great quotes from Duvall - "if I say it's safe to surf this beach it's safe to surf this beach.

When in the helicopter playing the Valkaries music "My men love it but it scares the shit out of the Sl*pes

Yes great film, but I forgot to mention my moment, it was:

"Do you smell that? It's napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory."

I LOVE that line!

Johnny English gets his tie stuck in the sushi belt and concertinas all the other patrons., ... 'It's ok, I'm a secret agent'.

[joebrown]

Not a movie , but in Act 4 of the 1990 TV series 'The Return of Mr Bean'. Mr Bean is waiting at the tail end of a long line of theatre employees who are to be introduced to Queen Elizabeth. He's totally unprepared, spending anxious moments cleaning his nails and polishing his shoes etc. When HM finally moves to stand in front of him he bows, and in doing so headbutts her, knocking her down. Naturally Mr Bean then makes a rather hasty exit! IMHO very funny. Check it out on UTube.

How about......................" I have f*ckin had it with these mother f*ckin snakes on this mother f*ckin plane!!!"

Yeah, that scene was classic. In that same vein, the Fawlty Towers episode with John Cleese "Don't mention the war" scene goose stepping:

A great British film..... The Full Monty... when they are standing in the dole queue and they start dancing to 'Hot Stuff'.

From the same film when they are not getting the hang of the choreography Horse explains that it is just like the Arsenal offside trap:-

Mine was the true story of the dog in Japan went to the rail station every morning to see his master off and came back every evening when the train returned with his master. The master died and did not return on the train but the dog kept going back for more than 10yrs, that made me really cry, lovely movie.

[Strangebrew]

Can't remember name of movie but Al Collins was in it the line" Badge's what badge's I don't got to show you no stinky badge's"

[Songhua]

The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

Gollum: Sneaking!! Sneaking? ........ Very nice friend you are ....

Sam: All right all right! What were you doing?

Gollum: Sneaking.

You're a big man, but you're out of shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

The Big Lebowski So many classics but this one is often overlooked.

Nihilists. <deleted> me. Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

The most quoteable film of all time - Withnail and I

• We've gone on holiday by mistake.
• I demand to have some booze!
• We can't go on like this. I'm a trained actor reduced to the status of a bum.
• We want the finest wines available to humanity, we want them here and we want them now!
• Listen, we're bona fide, we're not from London.
• Monty, you terrible c**t!
• I assure I'm not [drunk], officer, honestly, I've only had a few light ales.
• Black puddings are no good to us. I want something's flesh!
• Nonsense, this is a far superior drink to meths! The w*nkers don't drink it because they can't afford it!
• There must and shall be aspirin, or I shall die, here, on this f**king mountainside!
• These are the sort of windows faces look in at!
• I'm in a park and I'm practically dead; what good's the countryside?
• All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we eat a pork pie, then we drop a couple of Surmontil-50s each. That means we'll miss out on Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning.
• I feel like a pig shat in my head.
• Look at my tongue. It's like great yellow sock
• Don't threaten me with a dead fish!
• Bastard asked me to understudy Konstantin in The Seagull. I'm not going to understudy anybody. Especially that pimp! Anyway, I loathe those Russian plays. Always full of women staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to Moscow.

Got to sneak this baby in. And there were two films made (I prefer the Branagh version). Henry V

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.”

"You should learn to pay your respects"

The utterly brilliant Jake The Muss, from Once Were Warriors.

[Frank James]

On the Waterfront:

Night. Interior. Back seat of automobile. Terry is talking with Charlie, his brother...

Charlie: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.

Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.

Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley!

Rod Steiger, Marlon Brando. Dialog by Budd Schullberg.
