What movie scene stands out for you? May contain spoilers..

[MyGazeboisLeaking]

I'm sure there are millions and they will differ for everyone, but we are rewatching loads of older films during lockdowns, so some great ones have reappeared for me.

For example: One for me recently was 28 Weeks Later.

Robert Carlisle character and his wife are in a farmhouse, having dinner with a jovial bunch by low candle light. Very atmospheric. Candles giving off a very shadowy, late evening vibe.

A few minutes later, the zombies are at the doors and windows, pulling off the wooden slats and boards to reveal broad daylight and the horror that the family have had to live in the dark avoid discovery.

It was a great scene that stuck with me.

What are yours?

Leave her to Heaven. The boating/drowning scene.

In the notebook, when alli realises the story was about her and Noah, and Noah’s face when he knows she is going to forget again due to Alzheimer’s
My grandad had Alzheimer’s, I was the only one he remembered, I was 15 when he got diagnosed, he wouldn’t let anyone else help him other than me. My mum doted on him, and he didn’t remember her, eventually he started to let her help thinking she was someone else. That scene has always stuck in my head.

In the untouchables, when they find malones address on the matches that came from nitti’s jacket and the smug eating look he gives them. Sticks in my mind every time.

Fargo. Steve Buscemi’s body being rammed through the wood chipper. Revolting and hilarious.

Some like it hot
"I'm a man"
"Nobody's perfect"

Soutiner. Good shout

Just after Harry and Sally have slept together and they are sitting there in silence and you can tell that Harry is wondering how long he has to hold her before he can get up and go home.

The scene in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where Joel's memories of his relationship are erased and he gets to the memories of them lying under the covers with the sun coming through and then lying on the ice together and he suddenly realises he has made a terrible mistake erasing all memories of his relationship, no matter how dysfunctional and desperately tries to escape the erasure.

American History X - where the racist nazi skinheads attack a man and make him bite down on the gutter before stomping on his head. I will never forget that scene. Horrific.

Planes Trains and Automobiles " You're going the wrong way!"

We Were Soldiers - The wife of the commanding soldier makes the decision to be the one who delivers the news of a death to the wives. I
There is one scene where she gets to the front door of the house and the wife opens the.door and just shakes her head and keeps saying 'no'
The raw grief and denial alongside the love and support is so powerful.

Another one is stand by me, when Chris is telling gordie about why he stole the lunch money. Absolutely great acting by 2 youngsters.

Kramer v Kramer

That beautiful dialogue free scene of Ted and Billy having breakfast together after it going disasterously beforehand. You know they’re going to be ok now.

The Impossible. When the family reunite at the hospital all because the eldest boy recognised his dad’s Hawaiian shorts and then the younger two hear him calling for his dad... I tear up every time!

Got to be the Avengers scene where Thanos snaps his finger and half the population just disintegrates....and then it’s finished!

You think all the way through, no the good guys is will win..but then Thanos wins anyway

You’re left

As a child seeing the horse's head in the bed in The Godfather, don't know what my parents were thinking.
Also in Blair Witch when the girl is in the witch's house and sees her friend facing the wall, gone cold just writing that.

Truly Madly Deeply..love the whole film but the bit when Alan Rickman comes back and Juliet Stephenson sees and hears him realising he's back. Beautiful

Casablanca where the whole bar sings La Marseillaise (no idea if that is spelt right!)

I haven't ever watched Blair Witch -
Precisely because my friend warned me about this scene!

Pretty much all of Requiem For A Dream but especially the sex worker scene near the end with Jennifer Connolly.

Pay It Forward, when a crowd of people visit the Mum's house (won't spoil it and say why). Amazing film

Two beautiful smiles...
Marlon Brando at the end of "The Wild One"
Clint Eastwood in his van at the end of "The Bridges Of Madison County ".

The Godfather II, in the Cuban nightclub, when Michael Corleone realises it's his brother Fredo who dobbed him in. So subtle. So devastating. Classic.

The Empire Strikes Back.

I love you
I know

There's a wonderful scene in one of the Indiana Jones films - he is on one of his quests and trying to get through a busy eastern market / bazaar and is confronted by a warrier in full costume threatening him with a huge swinging sword. indy takes one look at him, pulls his revolver and shoots! Cleared the pathway pronto for him

My favourite ever, is the classic Rutger hauer roof scene in Bladerunner, when he has rescued his enemy Harrison and does the 'like tears in rain / time to die' speech ..
I've watched that film so so many times in my life, and weep every time!
