No prob, as I didn't notice the smiley, I also ignored the other emoticon pretty much. I was wondering if you weren't more irritated than it appeared to me, but I think you can understand how not seeing the smiley would make the original post seem like you weren't aware that this was a scene thread instead of a worst movie thread. Besides, Turkish Star Wars is by far the worst movie ever. Any movie that has an HR Pufenstuf type character, getting both it's arms ripped off by the hero, and then having them force-fed into it's own mouth, just puts it head and shoulders, and arms, below the rest!

When Leonardo sinks into the ocean.

Hated that movie and the characters it contained. Couldn't understand why I should give a rat's arse about two selfish twits while hundreds were dying around them.


As for scenes in movies I liked - there are just too many that could be my favorite. The Godfather alone has many. I'll go with Sonny beating the crap out of his brother-in-law for hitting his sister (but I reserve the right to revise & extend my remarks).

Speaking of Lonesome Dove: Call beating the crap out of the guy that hit Newt was also a great scene. I guess I like it when bullies get thumped.

As for war films, there's the magnificent assault on the Brecourt guns by Winters' unit. "Band of Brothers" has several great moments. Ron Speirs racing to the front to lead the attack when a commander falters --- the concentration camp liberation -- ALL of D-Day.

Did you understand what I was saying when I said this earlier?

That would be humor JD


I was kidding in reference to how you spelled humor. IOW, I was saying you spelled it incorrectly. And now back to our regularly scheduled program... Also, that knife through the head emoticon that I used, was a knife through my own head, if that wasn't clear.

That would be post #30 on my part. I quoted you where you used the word, as you spelled it "humour". I then responded as you can see. IOW I was making light of your comment by getting cute with your British spelling. Isn't it terribly ironic that you would think I didn't get your sense of 'humour' and in fact I did not, due to not noticing the smiley, and then I would joke too, and you wouldn't get that either. Pretty funny all the way around.

I like the scene of Slim Pickens riding the nuke to it's destination better, but that's a good one too. Just to see that scene in black and white and to see that ground come up real close to the camera is quite disturbing and funny at the same time.

Now that reminder evoked a memory of one of my favorite scenes of all time. One of the last scenes in the first episode where the newscaster is narrating the objectives of the last Gemini mission and the accomplishements of the Gemini program there occurs one of the most stupendous few moments of cinemetograhy ever produced.

Buzz Aldrin in an EVA is straddling the linked Gemini amd Agena modules as the scene begins with him looking at the play of static electricity coursing around his gloved hand. The camera moves to his face plate where you see the reflection of the Earth and the Moon in his visor, the visor then becomes transparent and you see his eyes as they glance "from the Earth to the Moon" just as the camera pulls away and the moon appears in the distance as the docked spacecraft "rounds" the corner in it's orbit and brings the craft to appear to be pointed at the moon. The symbology of that imagery was so well conveyed I was awed by it.

The scene where the German approaches the British held end of Arnhem Bridge with a white flag(played by Rik Mayall) and asks about the surrender.The British Chap with the the Brolly says "Sorry,but we dont have the facilities to take you all Prisoner..........was there anything else?"


The look on Mayall's face is a real treat!

Status: offline 		I liked where Gene Hackman playing the Polish Para Commander demands a written order to jump, knowing they will all die if they jump as ordered. The General asks him " are you sure you want a written order" and he replys " No, it doesn't matter, we will all be dead anyway"

The only thing that saved the Polish brigade was it got dropped on the wrong side of the river, if it had been dropped as planned with the British first the troops would have been machinegunned as they landed because the germans controlled all the landing zones.

Status: offline 		Great scenes from movies?  Oh my, there are loads:

Gone with the Wind:  As the original post noted, the scene at the Atlanta railroad depot with wounded soldiers end-to-end and the tattered Confederate flag symbolizing the end of the South.

Dr. Zhivago:  "The private life is dead" or "Yes, that's him.  That's Strehlnikof."  (Most scenes with Julie Christie are good too).

It's a Wonderful Life:  "Oh, family man" as attractive Violet walks off.  And dadgum it, the end of that movie is pretty effective an making my eyes water.  (Most scenes with Donna Reed are good too).

Casablanca:  Any scene with Ingrid Bergman.  She was a LOOKER.

The Chronicles of Narnia:  Surprising opening scene of German air raid.

Mr. Roberts:  Jack Lemmon and the soap suds.

Shenandoah:  The missing boy walks into church at the end of the movie (as my college friend, Robert Causey, once said, "It brings a tear to my eye."

Sound of Music:  Doe-a-Deer.  Also, Raindrops on Roses.

It has been suggested that the screenwriters (Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Peter Jackson) added the elves at Helm's Deep because they could not show the elves fighting against the forces of Sauron in Mirkwood or Lorien.

Nevertheless, it is a great scene.
