    he puts on the oxygyn mask and says "show it to me".

    Or the one by the late Ronald Reagan " Frankly my damn I don't give a dear!" or was that from the Spitting image show?
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    [QUOTE=tetsujin1979]The bit at the end of Lost In Translation when Bill Murray whispers something to Scarlett Johanssen, just another cool moment in a class film.



    Not to forget the final scene's of the movie playing out to The Jesus and Mary Chain, ''just like Honey''. Pure class.
    Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.

    Most scenes in TQM are classics. Michaleen about Prohibition, about drinking whiskey and water, the threatened punch up between the CIE staff, the 'stick to beat the lady with', the old geezer getting out of bed to see the scrap. Even the other day with a visit to Worcester Cathedral with Conchita I told her to cover her neck 'like a good Protestant' as in TQM, to which she said it was only the priest that had to do that, stooopid!! The 32 accents of Ireland, the 'Ireland may be a poor country but here a man sleeps in his bed' speech, the bloke with the tam o'shanter claiming if the Ra were involved 'not a scorched brick would be left of your lovely house', the horse slamming on the brakes by the pub, the Major ignoring everything...etc. etc.

    BTW, I like Gene Hackman with his 'Kiss my Irish ass' after ordering a shot of Four Roses in French Connection 2.

    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    Three gangster moments

    Scarface – Just before the denouement Tony takes one last noseful from the Colombian mountain in front of him – “I am Tony Montana!”

    Goodfellas – Tommy getting whacked by the untouchables for the death of Billy Bones

    Godfather I/II – the prelude to Vito Corleone shooting the local hood Fanucci – “I make him an offer he canna refusa…”

    The Long Good Friday – Harold’s rueful smile right at the close when he realises that he’s been overthrown as numero uno

    Pulp Fiction – Harvey Keitel - “My name’s Winston Wolf. I solve problems”.

    Godfather II – Michael killing Freddo in full view of the family home whilst they fish on Lake Tahoe

    More gangsters moments.

    1). Chinatown, when Jack Nicholson has his nose ripped open with a blade.

    2). Gangs of New York, the Paddy's coming straight off the coffin ships into the Northern army off to fight the civil war, with no idea where it is they're going.

    3). Bugsy Malone ( ), the boxers song.

    opening scene from godfather
    "i believe in america........"
    very power full opening to the greatest films ever.
    the entire wedding day scene perfectly describes the family, how they do businness and what their values are. crucial to the entire trilogy.

    Oh, I like Ryan's Daughter. It's, y'know, very much of it's time and all, but I like it. I know it's kind of dated badly in places, but I think it's a bit harsh sticking it away in the same box with Paddy McGinty's goat, Con.
    The Quiet Man is a bit too cheesy for even me, however. It's a full flavoured roquefort, whereas Ryan's Daughter is a perfectly servicable mature cheddar.

    cant believe no one mentioned sharon stones leg opening scene in basic instinct! thats memorable in that i still remember that at least once a week!!!

    also loved the scene in the shawshank redemption where red is talking about andy and says "maybe i just missed my friend" heart warming stuff,

    and i dunno if any one has seen inside im dancing which was in the cinema recently but i thought it was class from start to finish but when the 2 boys are on the bridge in dublin and are giving out about the railing saying its discrimitation against the disabled cos "any cripple with suicidal tendancies cannot act on said tendancies" classic
