TxHoops Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I thought it would be fun to post your all time favorite cinematic moments. For me, it’s impossible to choose between two, both ending scenes from two of my favorite films. Both give me the goosebumps each and every time I watch. Both are about three and a half minutes long. And together they make up the best 7 minutes of film I’ve encountered.

baddog Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 When I first saw this movie (it’s one of those movies I watch everytime it’s on) I knew Hopkins would win the academy award. If he hadn't, the awards would have has to be rigged. I love how intense he gets into character.... This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Hagar 1 Quote

What a great, classic scene. Isn’t YouTube great where you can just pull these things up and watch? Quote
Hagar Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Ok, I'm a big wuss, but I get tears in my eyes during this scene. You know what though, I feel sorry for those that don't. TxHoops 1 Quote
Hagar Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 And yet another war movie, but, like Hopkins above, you knew G.C.Scott was winning the AA. A very powerful opening for Patton. Several more come to mind, but I'll relinquish the stage for others. Kudos Hoops - great idea for a thread. jv_coach, TxHoops and rhino1877 3 Quote

You know what though, I feel sorry for those that don't. Saving Private Ryan was an exceptional movie, as most Spielberg movies are. People who kneel for the anthem won't get this scene. Sorry to be political, but this is what the flag stands for. Side note: If you really want to check out whether acting is good or not, try viewing a movie with the sound off for a minute. Everything you see is acting. It's kinda funny sometimes, especially if you have seen it before. Hagar 1 Quote
TxHoops Posted January 13, 2018 Author Report Posted January 13, 2018 Both of those are incredible films, REB. And I'm right there with you on SPR. Gets me every time. Hagar 1 Quote

Players in the NFL think they're big and bad, but most of them wouldn't hold a candle to those guys who stormed Omaha beach. They don't have the courage or guts for it, and sacrifice for love of country is not happening. Sadly today, few would understand what it means. baddog 1 Quote

Hagar Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 I'd feel remiss if I didn't include a clip from Cool Hand Luke. A movie with a bunch of great lines, including, Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand. And a phrase my kids were all to familiar with growing up, Spend the night in the box. jv_coach 1 Quote

Hagar Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I must apologize to Hoops, and the rest of y'all, because this isn't from a movie, but I laughed so hard the first time I heard it. As the Four Tops said in a song, "I can't help myself". jv_coach 1 Quote
baddog Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 Love “Who's On First”. Alright, y'all asked for it. Another movie I have seen multiple times. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Quote

My favorite english class in college, and I took several many times over, we would watch movies and write about them and Cool Hand Luke was one of them. Loved the movie. Hagar 1 Quote
jv_coach Posted January 24, 2018 Report Posted January 24, 2018 I am going to have to end this thread. For this ,by far, is the best part of a movie since Walt Disney put sound to film. TxHoops and rhino1877 2 Quote
