I'm in!

One of the great movie moments comes in Paramount's Sunset Boulevard when aged silent film star Norma Desmond responds to being told "You used to be big!" by William Holden's character, Joe Gillis. 

Desmond's response:  I am big. It's the pictures that got small.

What a way to capture the state of mind of Gloria Swanson's character as she deals with her situation as a vestige of an earlier era in the history of cinema--a forgotten star whose time has passed her by.  

And HERE is the HTF's review of the Centennial Collection DVD of Sunset Boulevard.  Here's hoping for a Blu-ray release sometime soon!   

 I'm in too

"The Godfather" when James Caan says in the Italian restaurant "I don't want my brother coming out with his dick in his hand"

A great Blu-ray release.

Airplane

How to pick a favorite moment? How 'bout:

"Johnny, what can you make out of this?"
"This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl... "

Apocalypse Now

 

The Ride of the Valkyries helicopter attack scene

Here's the complete dossier review

Cecil B. DeMille's THE TEN COMMANDMENTS cries out for a restoration and presentation on Blu-Ray.

Besides the spectacle of the Exodus and Red Sea sequences, who can resist dialogue such as Yul Brynner's comment to Anne Baxter: "You will be mine, like my dog, or my horse, or my falcon, except that I shall love you more - and trust you less."

Other have bemoaned the need for a new transfer of this film here:

In the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.............
I like the scene when one of the "Twin" Transformers tells the other one, "It's supposed to hurt! It's an ass kickin'!" Cracks me up every time I see it.

Coming to America

I always remember the opening credits with the Paramount logo...and then the camera zooms through and you are flying over Zamunda and into the film. Also, my favorite scene is without a doubt, Sexual Chocolate's performance. That boy is good!

Saturday Night Fever. The scene after the bridge incident, when Tony has taken just about all he can from the life he is living, boards a subway alone, as we hear the haunting Bee Gees song "How Deep is Your Love." The scene ends just as hauntingly with a shot of the World Trade Center at dawn.

One of the classic moments in Star Trek -- Kirk screaming "Khan" in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

1979 - The Warriors

An all-time favorite scene from this film is the emergence of The Baseball Furies and the chase of The Warriors through Riverside Park.

CC

The melting of Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Edit is it that the MOMENT has to not have been said before or the film has to be unmentioned:

I'm an idiot...

Entry is:  Star Trek IV, Scotty says "Hellloooo Computer"... into a Mouse.

 1995's Braveheart

The key scene for me was the pre-battle speech at Falkirk. This is a rousing piece of writing, acting and film making.

 

I've always loved Robert Harris' ' A Few Words About..." pieces so here is the link www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/292861/a-few-words-about-braveheart-in-blu-ray

HTF DVD Review

"The Hunt for Red October"

When the captain of the submarine (Sean Connery) meets the political officer in his quarters with the subtitles interpreting the Russian dialog, and the camera moves up close to the politcal officer's mouth, and then the speech changes from Russian to English, therefore
no need of subtitles from thence on.

White Christmas(1954)

The scene where Bing Crosby sings "Count your Blessings" to Rosemary Clooney is one of my all time favorite holiday film moments!

The film just recieved a great new Special Edition DVD last year, filled with great extras!!

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?

Crocodile Dundee:

"That's nawt a knyfe!   THIS is a KNYFE!!!"

The Godfather

The scene/sequence with Marlon Brando in the funeral home.

There are so many in this great movie but I didn't fully appreciate the above until I became a parent and just further emphasized the powerhouse performance by Marlon Brando.

SABRINA

The first moment that Bogart's character (Linus Larrabee) shows that he his falling for Sabrina:

Linus Larrabee: How do you say my brother has a lovely girl?
Sabrina Fairchild: Mon frère a une gentille petite amie.
Linus Larrabee: And how do you say I wish I were my brother?
