What is your favorite movie scene

in THE MAIN WALL
the scene in "THE Natural" where the Redford character hits the home run into the lights and the sparkles of light fall all around him as he circles the bases. I know the movie is a fairy tale, but for some reason it resonates with me.

There are others of course, but I have watched that one many times as this movie seems to be run often on cable.

    Nah

    Its the seen at the end where he ask's " whats in it for me ? " and he reliase's he gets a chance to play catch with his Dad one more time.

    I lost my Dad twenty years ago and the thought of seeing him one more time was too much. I cried my eyes out.

    Two years later I saw that movie again and had the same results. My wife looked at me and said " You know the ending " . I know but it still gets to me.

    Its a beautifull thought to see a loved one once again even just to " play catch ".

    Wrong movie

    That was "Field of Dreams" Scott, with Kevin Costner.

    I like the "black knight" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    Field of Dreams when he asks his Dad to play catch.

    Lots of 'em...

    Comedy: "She's a witch" sequence, Monty Python. Curley trying to get that board thru the doorway, 3 Stooges. John Cleese's "cover-up" in "A Fish Called Wanda". "They took the BAR!" sequence & "I'm a zit!", John Belushi et al in "Animal House". Alex Carras punching out the horse in "Blazing Saddles". "This is the private sector, they expect results!" Harold Ramis, "Ghostbusters".

    Drama: the cliff jump in "Butch Cassidy", the airport scene in "Casablanca", also the "round up the usual suspects" scene. The egg eating contest, and of course "what we have here is a lack of communication", Paul Newman, "Cool Hand Luke". All of the battle scenes in any of the "Lord of the Rings" movies. The pool games in "The Color of Money", Paul Newman & Tom Cruise. The "attack on the Death Star" sequence in "Star Wars". The "bathtub" scene in "Bull Durham" and several of the scenes, including the "Tennis Game" with Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pieffer and Susan Sarandon in "The Witches of Eastwick".

    Scariest Critter: "Alien", especially the "birth" scene. YUCK!

    Scariest "human": Hannibal Lechter.

    Without a doubt...

    The D-Day beach landing mayhem near the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan."

    Every President and congresman should be forced to watch that horrific battle scene before ever sending an American soldier into battle.

    The blast that has Hanks losing his hearing for a minute from an incoming round detonation, had my Altec "Voice of the Theater" speakers almost dancing out the freakin' room!

    The death scene from the ending of "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" shook me up almost as badly.

    My lady and I have a Casablanca Night

    every year. We bought the film just so we could do it.
    Good cheese and a fine wine have a way of making the old movie just seem like the first time you saw it. Could be the definition of a classic.

    DR. Strangelove

    I have three among many in mind:
    Slim Pickens riding the A-Bomb down to Russia at the end of Doctor Strangelove.

    John Belushi in Animal House: "Did we give up after the German's bombed Pearl Harbor???"

    The end of Stalag 17, when Peter Graves meets his maker.

    They don't make them like that anymore!!!
    Best to all,

    Action: Chariot race in Ben Hur (both original B&W and remake are great).

    Drama: Scarlet encounters the Union deserter in "Gone With the Wind".

    Stupidity: Cartman implanted with V-Chip in "South Park--Bigger, Longer & Uncut".

    Terror: Patriarch burned in "The Hills Have Eyes".

    Comedy: Toss-up between scene in "Young Frankenstein" where the good doctor meets everyone in Transylvania and either of the "rich Bohemian meets snobs" scenes in "Auntie Mame".

    Romance: Scene where Grace Kelly brings her "overnight bag" in "Rear Window".

    Sci-Fi: Tour of Krell power plant in "Forbidden Planet".

    Suspense: Opera scene in "The Man Who Knew Too Much".

    Strangelove reaction

    When that movie came out, I was flying B-52s in the USAF. I went to see it with my wife and another Air Force couple.
    The audience for some reason was not reacting as you would think to a comedy. Of course, my buddy and I were laughing our self silly, because we knew for a fact, what went on during the Airborn Alert missions we were flying.

    Any way, I can remember my wife nudging me and asking me to keep it down. Our theater crowd except for a few were taking it as a serious movie. Must of been the real fear that folks had of a nucular war.

    The last of the Mohicans

    90's remake with Daniel Day Lewis
    Two scenes. First shooting off the wall of the besieged fort to cover the courier running for help through enemy lines. Come on Mad Dog help me out, I KNOW you had to love that one! Second: at the end when the cowardly British officer redeems himself by trading places with the girl he loves, even knowing she'll go to the guy he hates. Kevin

    Every scene

    from Schindler's List. That movie shook me to the core.

    My Grandma was the sweetest Jewish lady you could ever wish to meet.

    I didn't get to know of that part of my lineage till I was 35....parents are funny things, eh?

    Swampster.

    And another one, in the original "Lassie" filmed in Scotland. When the two little boys brought the baby they found on the farm, to their mean old grandfather.."Och, you're no gonna eat the babby, grandaddy".

    He wasn't mean after that.

    Big Jake

    "Jacob McCandless ? I thought you was dead." "Not hardly"

    "Anything goes wrong, Your fault, my fault, his fault, nobody's fault. He'll blow your head clean off."

    Dirty Harry " Ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky ?', well... do ya... punk ?"

    The Jerk "The phone book's here ! I'm somebody now !"
    and in a letter home, "'and Mama, Patty's shown me what my "special purpose" is for'"

    I can leave the special effects, I prefer the older movies that deal with what is, or was, real and realistic. They're just not PC anymore. But, neither am I :) My wife says I'm too full of redneck testosterone. She don't know the half of it :)
