Ray: Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
Peter: You're right, Ray. No human being would stack books like this.

Egon: Don't cross the streams.
Peter: Why?
Egon: It would be bad.
Peter: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean "bad"?
Egon: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.
Ray: Total protonic reversal.
Peter: That's bad. Okay. Alright, important safety tip, thanks Egon.

Ray: Everything was fine until the grid was shut down by dickless here.
Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
Mayor: Is this true?
Peter: Yes sir, it's true. This man has no dick.

1. Godfather (part 1), where Pacino gets the rusty handgun from the old-school toilet and shoots the corrupt cop between the eyes. (geez....actually that whole movie is excellent).

2. Just Cause - mid 90's cheesy medicore flim with Blair Undewood & Sean Connery. The scene when Underwood's character car jacks Connery's wife and daughter and he screms at the wife "Drive BITCH!!" as they're about to hit a drawbridge partly raised....makes my wife and I hit the floor laughing everytime.

3. entire first 30 minutes of Private Ryan (awesome to watch in a crowded theater with old and young - you had to be a sick bastard not to be moved)

Something like 20 movie scenes comprise some of the Artifacts of Ottopia--starting at http://www.quondam.com/12/1153.htm.

Several scenes depict architects doing different things, like having sex with a photographer on a red sofa.

Scene from Godfellas where you follow Ray Liotta's character through his final day of freedom before getting nabbed by the FBI....it's classic.

Also, Sharon Stone uncrossing her legs and ahhh, making Newman studder with the sight of her beaver

1. pi. when max cannot take the headaches, the piercing noise in his head and the pain...and takes an electric drill to his own skull.

2. requiem for a dream. i really love the repetitive scene set used to illustrate the entire process of cooking/injecting heroin. unreal.

3. Patton. the intro scene when GSP speaks to his troops in front of the flag. the viewer is the audience...

4. Tombstone. any scene with Val Kilmer...one of his best characters.

Millers Crossing

Johnny Caspar

I'm talkin' about friendship. I'm talkin' about
character. I'm talkin' about--hell, Leo, I ain't
embarassed to use the word--I'm talkin' about
ethics.

. . . You know I'm a sporting man. I like to
make the occasional bet. But I ain't that
sporting.

When I fix a fight, say--if I pay a three-to-one
favorite to throw a goddamn fight--I figure I got
a right to expect that fight to go off at three-
to-one. But every time I lay a bet with this
sonofabitch Bernie Bernheim, before I know it the
odds is even up--or worse, I'm betting the short
money. . .

. . . The sheeny knows I like sure things. He's
selling the information I fixed the fight. Out-
of-town money comes pourin' in. The odds go
straight to hell. I don't know who he's sellin'
it to, maybe the Los Angeles combine, I don't
know. The point is, Bernie ain't satisfied with
the honest dollar he can make off the vig. He
ain't satisfied with the business I do on his
book. He's sellin' tips on how I bet, and that
means part of the payoff that should be ridin' on
my hip is ridin' on someone else's. So back we
go to these questions--friendship, character,
ethics.

. . . So its clear what I'm sayin'?

It's a wrong situation. It's gettin' so a
businessman can't expect no return from a fixed
fight. Now if you can't trust a fix, what can
you trust? For a good return you gotta go
bettin' on chance, and then you're back with
anarchy. Right back inna jungle. On account of
the breakdown of ethics. That's why ethics is
important. It's the grease makes us get along,
what separates us from the animals, beasts a
burden, beasts a prey. Ethics. Whereas Bernie
Bernheim is a horse of a different color ethics-
wise. As in, he ain't got any. He's stealin'
from me plain and simple.

etc

- greatest scence ever!

Some of my favorite scenes"

1: Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro facing off over Coffee in "HEAT"

2: Michael Douglas as Gordon Geko giving a speech to the shareholders in "WALL STREET"

3: Sean Penn with Tim Robbins sitting on the balcony in "MYSTIC RIVER"

4: The infinitely long scene in "THE UNTOUCHABLES" where the acountant dies. Also in the same movie, the scene at the railway station in which the book keeper is caught.

Full Metal Jacket. . . the jellied donut scene:

"THEY'RE PAYIN' FOR IT! YOU EAT IT!"

the "THIS IS MY RIFLE! THIS IS MY GUN! THIS IS FOR FIGHTIN' AND THIS IS FOR FUN!" scene

too many to list in that movie.

LA Confidential where Guy Pierce is going between the interview rooms.

Platoon where charlie sheen and gang are in the tent talking about killing tom beringer.

Not the best, maybe, but the sexiest:

"The Big Easy", Dennis Quaid has his hand up Ellen Barkin's skirt, so you can't see what his hand is doing, she's in ectasy but in denial about it and when she tells him to stop he says "You mean stop doing this.............or stop doing this?"


Oooooooohhhh.........

Fear and Loathing in Las vegas:

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

When they're trying to get into Bazuko Circus on ether: Ah, devil ether. It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel. Total loss of all basic motor function. Blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue. The mind recoils in horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it.

Actually this whole flic is full of great scenes: cameron diaz in elevator, cruising around on 15 bar pumped up tires, bazuko circus, midget at beverly hills hotel patio section, young spiderman in back of car

I would have to say 'City of God' flows like one amazing scene, and is so full of scenes I don't think I can choose one, per se. A cop out, I know. But I thought it was the best movie of last year, and certainly has permanently imprinted itself into my own stream of filmic consciousness.

in the movie 'a shallow grave'

the frogs in magnolia

jon belushi breaking the guitar in animal house

pacino in carlito's way when he's in the bathroom getting
ready to jump out with an empty gun

and the last scene in 'the game' and thinking how logistically
impossible the whole thing would have been to set up..

i thought teh actor said " a fucking spear,"

or was it a javelin? :-)


btw, http://www.moviemistakes.com/film74
<i>
Continuity: In the scene where the Boat captain gets speared, a poor job was done with the whole thing. First, the spear that the native throws is much bigger than the one that is actually stuck in the captain. Second, the spear that is in the captain would have been too small to throw with any accuracy, let alone that distance. Third, a spear of that size would not have had enough velocity to penetrate the captain all the way through his body. (Time visible to members)

old school

Mitch: true love is hard to find, sometimes you think you've found it only to take the early flight home from san Diego to find two naked people jumping out of your bathroom blindfolded ready to double up on your girlfriend like some damn magic show and it sto...

Bernard: it stops right there and it starts right here. I think what my friend here is trying to say is that true love is blind. so lets all lift up our drinks or whatever we have in front of us and solute. I love you franky, I love you. I'm not a talker, I'm not a talker.

great scene

Mitch: I wasn't exactly looking for a girl like that
