LUkeJ started a thread that got me wondering; what is your Top 10 List (In spirit of Callaghan)

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

Here are mine

1. Michael tells Fredo 'I know it was you, Fredo.' in The Godfather 2

2. James Bond skis off the cliff into the opening of The Spy Who Loved Me; silence, a parachute and then Carly Simon's 'Nobody Does it better'

3. The Empire Strikes Back - 'Luke, I am your father'

4. Jaws - Roy Schider sees it for the first time and tell Robert Shaw 'You're gonna need a bigger boat'

5. Planet of the Apes - Heston rides down the beach and into the The Statue of Liberty finding his answer

6. Star Wars - You're all clear kid, now let's blow this thing and go home!'

7. Close Encounters - Dreyfuss gets burned and then chases the U.F.O.s along with the troopers till the edge of the freeway

8. Aliens - Hudson and Vasquez count down off the radar as Biehn looks up into the cieling ...

9. The Road Warrior - MAx crashes the rig only to relaize he's been had as sand pours from the tanker

10 Die Hard- John McLane jumps off of the building attached to a firehose as the roof explodes.

John, I might have lost a post and I don't want to sound redundant but GREAT LIST. And how you backed it up with pictures was the money and I wish I could do that. But, I still argue that picking a favorite is better than a top ten. Oh, and I love the Tennenbaums feel good ending. PTO, you and me could party together.
 
Yes, lets build a dance floor on John's thread. Then, have it open up and have everyone fall in the pool, hence my second submission,

Right, you gotta love the charleston when properly danced. And Donna Reed, is she the marryin' type or what? I vote for Donna Reed as the girl you'd most list to take home to momma (of all time). Donna did play Mary right?
 
And let us not forget:

When Drummond calls Brady to the stand, questioning him about the Bible. One of my favorites.
 
I gotta nother one. How about the scene in Fiction when Walken talks about carrying the kid's father's watch up his ass for five years? I love that random scene. JH. I'm giving you all the Walken Props in the world. "Babies, let me tell you something. When I'm finished with you here, you'll all be wearing gold plated diapers." -- "What does that mean?" -- "Never question Bruce Dickinson!".

I don't even know the movie with bloated Spencer Tracey. I feel dumb.

Inherit the Wind. One of my alltime favorite movies. Gene Kelly is phenomonal.

Another:

The ending of Broken Flowers, where Don confronts the young man, and eventually scaring him away, and then ending the movie unresolved.
 
Thank you for the comment on my choices. Note all my choices are from my favorite movies.

I guess I must have failed to mention I hate young people and everything about my generation- Im very "old school", if I may say.
 
I gotta be honest. I hated the fact that Broken Flowers ended unresolved. It made it a forgettable movie. You show me something at the end that ties things together in an original way then I'll remember it. If you don't, then in my opinion, it's just another cop out. Ghost in the Machine.
 
You didnt get it, LukeJ? His ex-girlfriend and his neighbor set him up with the letter to have him visit past relationships and realize what could have happened if he had just learned to commit. My take on it, at least.

Another:

The scene where Juror #? may or may not stab Juror #? out of anger for his decision to disagree with everything that the rest of the jurors have comprimised on.

lmao

I was the same way at 14

In fact; I still hate everyone.

(Hmmmmmm)

I'm like the dude in Clerks:

You hate people

I hate people, I love gatherings.

Never saw that one. I kind of hate everyone, not just young people. I just cant stand all that American Eagle clothing and Napoleon Dynamite junk, and their strange love of all modern music. I stick with old folk and rock, because its a known fact the Bob Dylan and the Mamas and Papas make much more sense than any rap song.
