beverly hills cop - You're not going to fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It shouldflow out, like this - "Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!" See, that's more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long.

Star Trek 2009

The final scene. All our favorite characters are finally together as crew of the Enterprise. We see Kirk in the familiar yellow shirt for the first time. Cut to an exterior shot of the Enterprise and the familiar "Space, the final frontier..." narration.

Finally, the Enterprise blasts off into warp and the coup de grâce is the completely unexpected reprise of the theme music from the original series (!!!) - never included in a Star Trek motion picture until now.

Gives me chills just thinking about it.

HTF Blu-Ray Review: Star Trek

The highway battle between Optimus Prime and Bonecrusher in Transformers. It's so rare for a chase scene to blow me away anymore, but that was just awesome! When the kid watching them said "Cool, Mom!" -- I was that little boy.

A favorite moment: the fireworks kiss in 'To Catch a Thief.'

A few words about...™ To Catch a Thief

It's a shame that there are so many great Paramount movies are not "currently available" on DVD (or have been "discontinued by the manufacturer",) but are available on Paramount DVD in my basement!

Shane

The fight scene in the Saloon when Shane goes to town for supplies. Still one of the greatest fight scenes in motion picture history with fantastic sound!.

SECONDS, directed by John Frankenheimer, is my pick.

The scene where Rock Hudson meets his wife who is unaware that he has has been "made young" always chokes me up. Will Geer is pure evil in this.

I could only find one thread on this film which is sadly out of print on DVD.

"Road to Utopia." I'll never forget the beautiful Dorothy Lamour coming down that wooden staircase singing "Personality," a song which should have been nominated for an Academy Award. Unfortunately, Ms Lamour was only given one brief chorus to sing.

Enemy at the Gates

Such a great film with an insight into part of World War II that was so ignored - a casualty of the Cold War.

My favorite scene - when the German sniper kills the older Russian sniper by out-thinking and out-timing him, killing the Russian as he's leaping through the air in a bombed-out building across the way.

Check out the thread...

The moment when Evelyn Mulwray gets shot by the cops in the distance in CHINATOWN and Jake is told to go away, "It's Chinatown".

Team America: World Police

Seriously, did you ever in your life think that you would see marionettes having sex? Which, of course is the scene I am nominating...

I would have to say Mae West in I'm No Angel. [COLOR= #ff0000]What a vamp![/COLOR]


Hard to pick only one line. here are 3...... Mae West was Tira.


1. Tira: Beulah, peel me a grape.

2. Tira: It's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men.


3. Tira: When I'm good I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.

Remember that she wrote that film as well. What an amazing woman, no?

Harold and Maude The final scene when Harold has Maude rushed to the hospital, and realizes that it's too late for Maude, who took poison on her 80th birthday to end her life at that age. Harold then drove his Jaguar over a cliff, then we see he wasn't in it, he walks off picking on the banjo the notes from the Cat Stevens' song,"If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out".

It's A Wonderful Life

There are many moments in It's A Wonderful Life I love, but my favorite is the telephone scene where George are Mary are listening cheek to cheek to Sam Wainright on the telephone and can no longer contain their passion.
