C'mon, post your most emotional movie moments! If you can't remember, just post some that you can. Hmm...possible spoilers, I suppose. How do you put spoiler tags anyway?

Happiest moment: In recent times, probably RotK, just when everyone bows to the Hobbits. Nearly had me in tears. Ending of Frequency deserves a mention.

Saddest moment: The ending of Of Mice and Men (the one with Gary Sinise) - I saw this for an English class, where I was the only guy in about 30 of us, and everry one had to pull out a tissue. Maybe that bit in Iron Giant.

Scariest moment: I think most of the Japanese version of Dark Water. Pretty creepy.

Ickiest moment: End of Se7en. Feel bad movie of the decade.

Exciting/thrilling moment: Probably the intro to Episode I. I was so pumped for that. Just being in the theatre, knowing it was starting - a new Star Wars movie, and I'm old enough to understand it!

Funniest moment: can't think of one right now.

Biggest surprise: DEfinitely spoilers required for this part. For me, and maybe some of you will call me dense, but the ending to Sixth Sense. I had no idea, and I went in not knowing what it was all about.

 

[AssMan]

This was the greatest movie moment:

 

[Error Macro]

This was the greatest movie moment:

You're damn right about that one. Actually, I think every greatest movie moment happened in Ghostbusters. It's the greatest movie ever made.

 

[shuri]

The talking decapitated head that flies back and impale itself to a branch in Duel to the death

and then suddenly explode!

 

[Matlock]

...when Tenacious D rocked out in Bio-Dome!

 

[oxrock]

"You are the chosen one."

 

[COCKLES]

Funniest moment.

Gene Wilder and Pryor in Stir Crazy

When they first get taken to police station.

"Ooohhhh sheeeettt! ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sheeetttt!"

 

[Gorey]

Courtroom Scene at the end:

Connor - Now you will receive us.
Murphy - We do not ask for your poor or your hungry.
Connor - We do not want your tired and sick.
Murphy - It is your corrupt we claim.
Connor - It is your evil that will be sought by us.
Murphy - With every breath, we shall hunt them down.
Connor - Each day we will spill their blood til it rains down from the skies.
Murphy - Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace.
Connor - These are not polite suggestions. These are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost.
Murphy - There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain.
Connor - But if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three and on that day you will reap it.
Murphy - And we will send you to which ever god you wish.

 

[Ned Flanders]

You made it to the end of Boondock Saints? Ugh..

My pick:

The Hopper/Walken exchange in True Romance. Priceless cinema in every regard.

One of the best movies ever!!

Just one of many. The Godfather has the greatest movie moments ever.

 

[Gorey]

You made it to the end of Boondock Saints? Ugh..

Yep. Made it about half a dozen times, at last count. There are, apparently, at least two of us in the universe who like it.

And Sheperds we shall be, for thee my lord, for thee. Power hath descended forth from thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command. We shall flow a river forth to thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filius, Spiritus sanctus

 

[Eminem]

Some of my favorites:

Jerry Maguire: When Cruise and Cuba hug after his MNF performance.

Good Will Hunting: the whole "It's not your fault" scene

Almost Famous: The Tiny Dancer scene

 

[NLB2]

In Apocolypse Now the scene in which the audience meets the crazy helicoptor commander.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Funniest: Spinal tap- This amp goes up to 11 scene

 

[lilraylewis]

Almost Famous: The Tiny Dancer scene

Brilliant! I came in here to post this very scene.

*Sonny gets out of car*

*RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT*


Just one of many. The Godfather has the greatest movie moments ever.

Also brilliant. A few more of my favorite Godfather/Godfather II scenes:
1 - The "I know it was you, Fredo" scene in Cuba
2 - The Baptism/Murder scene from the end of Godfather I

 

[jedimike]

I'll start it off with a classic...

ESB - the whole Luke/Vader "I'm your father" scene. Totally unexpected.

Creepiest scene

The Shining - when the twin girls are in the hall "come play with us"

Funniest scene -

Meet the Parents - the whole scene when they are playing volleyball in the pool. From the moment Focker comes out in Speedos to the moment he crushes the girls nose.

Plains, Trains, Automobiles - "those aren't pillows"

 

[Chony]

Usual Suspects - The End.

Jurassic Park - T-Rex breaks through electrical fence.

The Big Lebowski - Spreading the ashes.

Spinal Tap - The sandwhich scene.

The Great Escape - Motorcycle scene at the end.

Indiana Jones - "Bad Date"

 

[SlickWilly223]

I just watched the coliseum horse race in Ben-Hur. Amazing, I can't believe they pulled a scene like that off.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Andy Escaping from SHawshank

Ash showing off his boom stick

Ash going insane in Evil dead 2

Brandon Lee becoming the CRow and then looking out from his old boken window.

The very End of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid.

The Badassness of Clint EAstwood as he rides away at the end of Unforgiven

ALL of OLDBOY.

[Error Macro]

The Big Lebowski - Spreading the ashes.

:lol :lol :lol

Hell yeah.

 

[Dujour]

Right here.

Yar, beaten to it. Click anyway unless you have not seen it.

 

[silver]

Some of my favorites:

Jerry Maguire: When Cruise and Cuba hug after his MNF performance.

Good Will Hunting: the whole "It's not your fault" scene

Seriously? I think the scene in the park is way better.

Trainspotting: Mark Renton in his parents' house, getting sober.

Stephen King's It: everytime Pennywise shows up. Still haunting me to this day.

A.I.: when David freezes in front of the blue fairy and the aliens show up. This movie is a piece of art.

Titanic: the sinking. You can hate all you want, but the Titanic sinking was just... whoa.

 

[Richiban]

Platoon - The scene where they find out that Willem Dafoes character is alive and running through the trees to escape the Vietnamese. Brilliant scene.

Eight Men Out - 'Say It Ain't So, Joe'

 

[RedDwarf]

The Big Lebowski - Spreading the ashes

Excellent choice.


Emotional - Peter Lorre's speech in his defense from "M".
Over the top - John Turturro pleading for his life in the woods from Miller's Crossing. (Look into your heart!)
Completely heartbreaking - When his former carnival owner crashes into the hospital - The Elephant Man.

 

[J2 Cool]

I don't think I could do the list but some great ones

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Tuco's desperate scenes. From carrying "Blondie" as a slave to "He's like a brother to me!" after he knows the name of the grave. And the praying :lol Also, the final shootout.

Terminator 2 - Arnold exiting the bar with bad to the bone and then taking the old guy's shotgun after he threatens him. There's a ton from this flick.

Iron Giant - The end.

Rotk - bowing to the hobbits. Can't be appreciative enough when a fantastic trilogy has a fantastic end.

Eternal Sunshine - "I should have stayed" and the stuff falling apart. Extremely touching. What an unexpected surprise of a movie.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off - What? I'm supposed to pick one scene? This movie's amazing. I love the intro with the way he talks to his mom, picking up of ferris's gf, the restaraunt... Oh, and especially the art institute. Probably would have the be the one gem of a scene I'd take from this movie.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Donald/Daffy, Mickey/Bugs, and the shoe

Saving Private Ryan - D-day and the ending.

 

[KarishBHR]

Finding out Rosebud, and umm... probably the endin of Sixth Sense (ps... I liked the ending of the Village as well!)

I really like Boondock Saints a lot, but the speech at the end always makes me cringe.

 

[Gibbo]

Dragonheart- When Draco dies and joins the rest of the stars

 

[Ned Flanders]

I really like Boondock Saints a lot, but the speech at the end always makes me cringe.

I just cannot fathom how people can like this movie. The whole thing just seemed completely contrived...my eyes were rolling like shot machines by the time they jumped off the building and survived with nary a scratch. I turned the movie off when they fell through the roof and just happened to get tangled in the ropes for the SOOPER DOOPER cool upside-down dangly shootout. It was just too much.

I'm sorry to be so openly critical of a movie that some of you obviously enjoyed, but this is just one of those things that I simply cannot rectify with myself. It just seems absurd to me. Not that any of you care. I'll shut up now.
