Your Favorite Movie Moment - Week 4

[Lilaena De'Ville]

We all have them - the moment in a movie where it is just so incredibly awesome that chills run down your arms and up your back. Just listening to the music can take you back there, to the first time you saw it.

Welcome to Week 4 of our quest to find the most incredible moment in movie making history! The top two choices from this week's poll will be entered into the finals, coming up in two weeks.

Feel free to continue to nominate movie moments for the next and final preliminary round. http://sw-fans.net/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

Also, the voting is public, so we'll all know what you voted for. http://sw-fans.net/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif A very cool option. If you vote with more than one account I'll find out, and it'll just make me mad to have to do all the math to figure out the actual results, so that's something you should keep in mind. http://sw-fans.net/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

I had to vote for Pulp Fiction. While I think 2001 is a much bigger moment, PF is one of my fave films and my mate and I have quoted that very scene so many times, its most likely our favourite scene in the film (if one even takes precedence over another - it all rocks!)

"You're giving her an injection of adrenaline, straight to her heart. But she's got, uh, breastplates - you gotta pierce through that so what you gotta do is you gotta bring the needle down...in a stabbing motion..."

"I gotta...I gotta stab her three times?"

As for more nominations - I can't really think of any since I've mentioned my absolute favourites.

Some that I think deserve a shot at the title would be:

Scarface - 'Say Hello to my little friend...'

Batman - When the Joker frys the guy in his chair with a handbuzzer, and then talks to his charred remains. That scene cracks me up - the Jokers facial expressions are amazing as he has what appears to be three successive epiphanies.

Lost in Translation - Oh I really can't choose. Someone suggest a moment! This film is just beautiful and hilarious.

Some Like It Hot - the night-time tipple in 'Daphne's' bunk on the train that quickly turns into an 'all-girl' slumber party. Jack Lemmon owns that film! 'I'll say!'

Ahem. Week four. And still no 'Anything From Chariots of Fire' option. :|

[Lilaena De'Ville]

No one had suggested it, and frankly, when I try to think of movie moments all I can think of are ones we've already done. :mneh

Chariots of Fire is awesome though, I'll have to think of a good moment from that. But I haven't rewatched it in at least three years. >_<

[Dasquian Belargic]

Come on, Kill Bill :D

[Razielle Alastor]

Again, this one was a hard choice. I was down to Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Princess Bride. The last won out because that whole movie makes me just...

:D :D :D!!!

[Karl Valten]

Something from V for Vendetta. I watched Vendetta four times back to back on a plane ride to switzerland this summer.......I like V for Vendetta

hmmm...

well the classic shot is all the guys the running on the beach at the end of the flick with Vangelis playing.

then there's the race around the courtyard at oxford(?) before the clock finishes striking 12 noon

but my personal fave is the race where the guy trips/falls/pushed(?) then gets up and lays the smack down to win.

Just the thought of that is making me want to see it again. :)

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Oh Mu, I saw the back of Bruce Campbell's head two days ago. Apparently he was in Portland for something and attended the opening night of the Portland Winter Hawks hockey. We won, too. :D

My brother in law saw him and said "Hey that guy looks like Bruce Campbell" but by the time I looked all I saw was the back of his head. :( So I suppose I cannot confirm or deny that it WAS indeed Bruce, but chances are slim against Mr. Campbell and a look-a-like being at the same game.

I was worried that he was our good luck charm, but we managed to pull out a win yesterday too. (Unless he was at that one too! :uhoh) /hijack

I gotta be honest . . . some of the choices this week were a bit weak (almost a pun!). :p Course, movie opinions are about as diverse as lotto tickets.

I went with Shawshank, because that and Ed Norton in American History X were the only two on the list that really, really got to me.

What about at the end of the The Royal Tenenbaums, when Chas says, "It's been a tough year, Dad" to Royal?

[Jedieb]

That list didn't have my favorite Princess Bride quote.

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
And Christopher Guest runs away like a young boy who finds out he's just gotten a job working for Rep. Mark Foley.

Mneh, that part is good, but I had to watch it too many times in a theater class when I was in high school. Got tired of hearing it, honestly. I think the whole shtick with the guy laying on the bed convincing the other guy he could move would be a better choice. "To the pain!"

[Zereth Lancer]

Princess Bride all the way.

[Oriadin]

A tough one this week. Went for Spartacus in the end, although I also wanted to vote for Butch Cassidy, and Shawshank Redemption.

Going to be interesting when it comes down to the choice of all the winners.

How about the end of Rocky I?
Also, I like the scene in groundhog day when they are in the cafe and Bill Murray knows everything about everyone in there.

[Razielle Alastor]

Anybody want a peanut?!

:D There are just too many amusing lines in that movie.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Another tie for second place!? I might HAVE to do 10 polls at this rate. ;) Someone break the tie between Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill 2 before tomorrow night when the poll closes! No one should have to choose between Tarantino flicks, but you're going to have to, dammit! :shakefist

Or, I'll just choose for you. ;)
