I was watching Cool Runnings last night, and the scene at the end was pretty moving, where the Jamaican bobsled team crashes during the Olympic race, they get up and carry their sled across the finish line, and everyone is cheering for them.
Gave me goose bumps watching it.
Great thread…
Man On Fire: After he gives his life for Pitas and is in the car with the thugs. The music playing and him holding onto the necklace she gave him until he finally passes.
Click: When he finds out he fast forwarded past his fathers death. When he goes back to watch the repeat of it and sees how much of a dick he acted to his father. Plus the part where he keeps rewinding to listen to his father say “I love you son”.
Tears of the Sun: When the sniper guy goes back into the line of fire and is killed while helping a wounded refugee.
Also the part where they have the option to abort the mission and all refuse because they want to help.
The Patriot: When the slave is a free man and still chooses to fight. The guy who gave him a hard time earlier in the movie says “Your a free man now…I am honored to fight with you.”
So many more…
Pale Rider
“Nothing like a good piece of hickory”
He showed how you can be a good guy and still a badass all at the same time. . . well you could say that of most Eastwood movies. It really stuck with me in life.
Life is beautiful
Where he clowns away to his death in front of his son. . .
Those are only a few. . .
AMC is honoring Jack Nicholson by playing a bunch of his great films.
I’ve watched One Flew Over The cuckoo’s Nest twice today and I think it is an awesome movie with both a sad yet happy ending.
If you like Nicholson, definetly check this one out.
If not mentioned already,
Its a B movie but,
Soldier - Kurt Russell “I’m going to kill them all sir”
and of course
Superman the Movie where Christopher Reeves yells/screams after Lois dies.
Armageddon: After they defuse the nuke on the asteroid, when Harry(Bruce Willis) radios NASA, the whole scene gives a great feeling of determination and not giving up, and his tone of voice really sells it. Also at the end when he throws AJ back into the airlock to stay and detonate the nuke himself. The ending of that movie was very moving.
Field of Dreams: Costner playing catch with his dad.
The Hurricane: I think it’s one of Denzel’s best movies, a lot of good scenes.

Soldier = Fuckin A!!
Also, why didn’t anyone mention.
John Q!!!
Denzel Washington holding a hospital hostage in order to save his son. Great movie. But I think someone mentioned it.
Boondock Saints
When Connor, Murph, and Rocco are in the kitchen, cauterizing their gunshot wounds with a clothes iron.
King Arthur (newest version, extended edition)
I don’t think this scene was in the theater version, but near the end, Lancelot battles the (former) second in command of the Saxon army. The Saxon fires a crossbow bolt into Lancelot, fatally wounding him. Before he dies, Lancelot throws one of his smaller swords into the Saxon, center-mass, dropping him to his knees. He then crawls over to him, takes his other small sword, grabs the Saxon by the hair, and with an air of up-most loathing and revenge puts it through his throat…and then dies himself.
Braveheart
When Wallace’s wife is tied to the post, before she’s killed, when they zoom in on her eyes as she desperately scans the ridge line for any sign of help, and there is simply none coming. Kills me.

The scene in the movie Glory, when the 54th Mass is moving into position to assault Fort Wagner and the white soldier who had started a fight with them earlier yells “Give em hell for me!” Then at the end when they dump the colonel’s body in the pit with his men. Almost made me cry. Almost.[/quote]
I saw this movie when I was like twelve. I was still in the stage where you run to the front of the theater and sit there hurting your neck to see the whole screen…only it doesn’t hurt because you’re young. I remember tearing up the whole damn time, by the end my little league Red Sox jacket was soaked. That movie is so good.
Saving Private Ryan: Medic Irwin Wade is bleeding out and asking questions to find out how he is dying, coming to the realization that he is toast and asking for drugs to go easy. Scene destroys me. Seeing the P51’s rain hell at the end, such beautiful planes.
Blackhawk Down: Little birds and miniguns, this again goes with me loving instant hell from above. Also the scene where Durant is desperately trying to grab the picture of his girl while being beaten down.
Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd’s dream of how he would act to get Mary Swanson…lighting farts and throwing mixed nuts in his face.
Jurassic Park: T Rex wtfpwning the raptors.
Salton Sea: one of my favorite movies. When Danny looks up out of a daze and see’s his tweaker friend looking completely concerned for him and happy that he is alive. Also the first “Poo Bear” scene
American Beauty: Describing the way his grandmother’s hands look like paper.
When Trumpets Fade: Warren carrying a dead Pvt. Manning through the snow.
Cinderella Man: The whole damn movie.
Patton. Can’t watch it without emotion. The scene just before the battle at Al-Qatar:
Patton: “All my life, I’ve wanted to lead a lot of men in a desperate battle. Now,…, I’m going to do it.”
Patton: “Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!!”
After learning, at a meeting, that it will be ‘some weeks’ before General Montgomery can help the 101st at Bastogne -
Patton: “I can attack with 3 divisions in 48 hours.” (My old man was in this attack, part of the 4th Armored Division.)
Patton: “There are brave men dying there. I’m not going to hold up for an hour or a minute! We’ll attack all night, we’ll attack tomorrow morning. If we are not victorious, let no one come back alive.”
I realize that a lot of it was fictionalized for a movie, but Scott portrayed Patton brilliantly.

That was a great movie. The scene that gave me chills was when they are leading that secret attack on the German artillery and Manning shoots the private with the flame thrower who is running away scared, he then points his gun at Warren and says “Warren, get up there NOW!” then Warren picks up his flame thrower and charges at the Germans, screaming. Awesome scene.

“I’M AFRAID!!”
Braveheart. The torture scene at the end and he sees his wife walking in the crowd…and the music swells up, and he sees “freedom!”… ahh shit I gotta go I GOT something in my eye.

The speech Al Pacino gave in Scarface in the restuarant. “What does that make you? Good?”[/quote]
Love that speech, I can quote it word for word. Got fired once when I was 22 and spouted it to my former boss. With the identical inflections as Pacino, lol. “No, you just know how to hide and how to lie. So say goodnight to the bad guy. You ain’t never gonna see another bad guy like this here again, I tell you what.”
Dersu Uzala: Building the shelter on the frozen lake.
Rashomon: The final scene, when the priest is happy that the woodcutter will take the baby, and the pained look of the woodcutter walking away. The world is ruled by selfishness tempered by guilt/duty.
La Strada: Zampano crying on the beach. The shell finally cracks.
Andrey Rublyov: When the bell rang out, and the boy began crying. He’d lied about being told the secret to making bells, but his work paid off regardless. He curses his father for keeping the secret to himself, even though he surpassed the man. And he cries. I think we all have this experience of our fathers failing us in not teaching life’s lessons. But somehow we still surpass them. Could it be that we learned from them in some more subtle way?
Fear of a Black Hat: When they meet with the black record producer and he goes on about their skin tones. “You genie-in-a-bottle lookin mutha fucka, you’re the asiatic black man. And you, red bone nigga, just like Malcom.” Funniest scene in the funniest movie.

Man on fire…
pretty much the whole movie,but the scene where Denzel is asked by Pita’s mother what he was going to do and he says:
“Kill everyone that profited from her death…”
Yeah, I have to agree.
Forgot to mention MOF earlier in the thread. However, the scene that also gets to me is the one where Cristopher Wlaken says to the cop:
“Creasys art is death, and he is about to paint his masterpiece”
Also, has anyone watched the alternative ending? Although it lacks the grace of the original, it has a savage retribution, more in keeping with the rest of the film.
Basically, Creasy gets taken back to the mansion of ‘The Voice’ and while ‘The Voice’ is lecturing him, he sets off another of those explosive chargers that he has hidden in his own rectum, killing them both.

I can sleep better knowing that there was an alternative ending where Creasy …well…you know.
Seven Samurai: When they find out Toshiro Mifune is a farmer…
Glengary Glen Ross: Alec Baldwin’s “coffee is for closers” speech is awesome.
Two quickies that come to mind:
The Natural: The final home run ball smashing the stadium lights, sending waterfalls of sparks down on the field as he casually rounds the bases.
Aliens: Ripley dons the robotic loader, “Get away from her you BITCH!”
