Great movie 'moments'

[swee'pea99]

Legend has it that the cast were not aware that this was going to happen, so their shocked responses are genuine.

I believe that's true. To nick an earlier post, "It's said - truly, by all accounts - that none of the cast knew in advance either. Ridley Scott said genuine surprise was essential. One of the actors - Veronica Cartwright, who played Lambert, passed out, for real. Indeed, a supreme moment of cinema!"

That must be in the running for top five ever.

This certainly isn't, being more a scene than a moment, but I've loved it man and boy, and for one moment in it.

The Warriors, great film

I saw that at the cinema when it came out in ‘79.
Anyone I’ve mentioned it to since then has never heard of it and I was beginning to think I’d, erm, hallucinated it.

Thank god someone else remembers it!

You might not be a fan of CGI but you have to admit this is pretty amazing stuff. The "bear" was a guy in a blue suit suitably padded and the bear images added afterwards:

I can instantly recall the impact that had on me when I saw it at the pictures. Absolutely pinned me to my seat. I thought Private Ryan and Dunkirk had scenes of visceral intensity, but they hadn't begun to prepare me for the intensity of that. It was off the scale. And still is. For raw, gut-wrenching teeth-clenching impotent terror, I can think of no other scene in any movie that even comes close.

The 'moment', for me is the split-second between him spotting the bear and the bear starting to come at him. And it comes so fast....

The moment Mrs Bogart #3 knew her number was up.

Back when men were men and special effect involved building a real bridge, moving it a thousand km, waiting for rain season and gemerally being badass

I love that movie! Here's another...

"Don't call me Shirley" was another

The movie is OK only but Morricone's score might just be his best

From Bond's first film... Dr. No.

 

[Kempstonian]

The Pink Panther was a funny film but the outtakes are even funnier! Peter Sellars was a champion giggler!

 

[Cycleops]

Never really liked him in The Pink Panther. I thought he was better in more ' serious' films.
Dr Strangelove is a classic as is this scene, '"Gentlemen you can't fight in here this is the war room,!"
