Off the top of your head, name ten of your favourite Movie Moments. i.e.: When Jaws pops out of the water
They don't have to be your top ten, just whatever randomly pops into your head (that way you know they stuck with ya!)
If they're self explanatory, booyah. if not, tell us why it's so memorable/well loved to you.
1) The Princess Bride - "I died that day! You can die too for all I care..."
2) The Secret of NIMH - During the climax when the villain Jenner prepares to slay Justin. Towering over him, Jenner snarls "I've learned this much: take what you can when you can!" Justin, battered and bleeding counterattacks with the cry of "Then you've learned nothing!"
3) Akira - Tetsuo's transformation. One of the most elaborate, gruesome, and surreal sequences ever to appear in an animated film. The special effects still haven't been topped.
4) The Wall - The scene where Pink's wife and her lover hang up on him and he just slumps down the wall as we look into his mind and see his sanity collapse.
5) Aliens - "Get away from her you BITCH!" - 'nuff said.
6) Blade Runner - The running battle through the abandoned building between Roy and Deckard, culminating in Roy's famous last words.
7) Serenity - The Operative's speech to Mal about how he won't live in the perfect world, but is necessary for it's creation. The amount of taut emotion in the lines creates genuine empathy for the mass murderer.
8) The Crow - This entire movie is a favorite moment, but for sheer poignancy and truthsomeness, I pick the scene where Draven visits the cop at his apartment and explains that nothing in life is trivial.
9) The Big Lebowski - Walter Sobchak's ill-planned attempt to show Larry what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass.
10) Pulp Fiction - Vincent and Jules' debate over why you shouldn't give another man's wife a foot massage.
