Coolest moments in films

Sean Quagmire

There’s always a film where you know a part is coming up that is just the standout moment of the movie whether big or small
Mine are

Gangs of New York – Leo Di Caprio approaches Bill the butcher in the middle of the street after the murder of one of his friends, the dialog is short snappy and to the bone.“challenge” day lewis removes pipe from mouth straight away but not in a nervous hurry “challenge accepted”. Class

Casino – Joe pesci’s rant at the bank manager in ace’s house – something like “im gonna come down to the bank tomorrow and if you don’t have my money for me im gonna crack your f*ckin head wide open. And by the time I get out of prison hopefully you’ll be out of your coma and guess what il crack your head open again. You know why ‘cause im stupid’

There’s a few more just cant think!

TeletextPear

This is sparta!

Sean Quagmire

yeah theres a good few from 300 just thaught that was a bit eay. nearly every line in the film is a gem of a quote!

tonight we dine in hell

immortals? we'l put there name to the test

humanji

Granted, some may argue that it's not really cool, but from Ocean's Eleven :

In the orginal film one of the gang dies just after the heist. In this one Sol seems ill through out it and so I was assuming he'd die during it, just like the original. But when he collapses and the doctor appears, only for it to be Brad Pitt, I really thought that that was a really cool twist

.

Also, and I demand that this is at the top of everyones list, from Predator:

"You're bleeding!"
"I ain't got time to bleed."

Pure class!

faceman

Good call humanji on Predator! Dont forget, "if it bleeds, we can kill it!"

Also add Roadhouse to this, pretty much any scene!

Normally i dont like to see threads that like that are capatilised by cool scenes that glorify violence or human degrading, but i will make some exceptions!

Scene in Heat where mcCauley (De Niro) has Van Sant on the phone after Van Sant tried to shaft him:

Van Zant: What are you doing?
Neil McCauley: What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone.
Van Zant: I don't understand.
Neil McCauley: 'Cause there is a dead man on the other end of this f**kin' line

Ice cold delivery!

Otis Driftwood

Reservoir Dogs.
The scene with Michael Madsen and the cop when Madsen says something to the effect of "im going to torture you anyway,because I enjoy it"

Ichi the Killer
Kakihara's entire wardrobe and every scene he was in.

Dead or Alive
The first 3 minutes.

Enter the Dragon.
The fight scene in the hall of mirrors.

Pulp Fiction
Jules doing his Ezekial 25:17 speech for the first time.

randombar

Has to be McBain breaking out of an ice sculpure about 1/4 the size of himself.

"Ice to Meet you"

QUALITAY!

another one from predator

when the lads refuse to take some of the chewing tobacco off the big guy he says "you’re all acting like a bunch sissies, this stuff will turn you into a god damn sexual tyrannosaurs”

strap this to your sore ass, Blain!

Auvers

mine has to come form one of my all time favourites the magnificent Unforgiven

"I've killed just about anything that walked or crawled at one time or another, and I'm here to kill you…"

Sean Quagmire

An easy one would be Commando with Arnie

The bit at the start where the terrorist are shooting up his house and arnie is crouched down talking to a fellow soldier. He says something along the lines of “stay here you should be able to hit them, the wind is traveling north”
“you want me to smell them coming Matrix?”
“I did”

stereoroid

Fargo has some cool moments - actually, some very cold moments - such as the running joke about the "kinda funny-lookin'" suspect, and Marge's little speech at the end.

There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.

Duggy747

More Predator, I always look forward to this bit:

[after Dutch has nailed a guy to the wall with his knife]
Dutch: Stick around!

Or this bit in Commando at the start, sets up the tone of the movie perfectly:

Diaz: Mellow out man. We can't talk business with you waving guns in people's faces. Your daughter is safe, Colonel. Now whether she stays that way is up to you. My people, they got some business with you. And if you want your kid back, then you gotta co-operate, right?
Matrix: Wrong!
[shoots Diaz between the eyes]

Genius!

I still find Neo dodging the agent's bullets as the camera swoops around him in The Matrix pretty remarkable. I'll never forget the 1st time I saw it, never seen anything like it before.

Sean Quagmire

"So you cooked up a story and dropped the six of us into a meat grinder, what happened to you Dillon?"

30txsbzmcu2k9w

That scene near the end of Trainspotting, Begby had gotton rowdy in the pub, a cigarette is lit up and he blows smoke into Rentons face. Then Born Slippy kicks in. ****ing magic.

That whole movie could be one.

Matrix: "Remember when I promised to kill you last?"
Sully: "That's right, you promised!"
Matrix: "I lied."
*drops sully off cliff*

Sherifu

Commando is a classic.

I also love the scene in the Matrix.

Neo: I know kung fu.
Morpheus: [eyeing him, hand on chin] Show me

Morpheus: How did I beat you?
Neo: You... you're too fast.
Morpheus: Do you believe that my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles in this place? Do you think that's air you're breathing now?

The Bollox

from Predator:

Poncho: "Hey Billy... BILLY! last night I was talking to my girlfriend and I said 'I'd love a little pussy' and she said 'so would I, mine's as big as a house!'"
Billy: *thousand yard stare*
Poncho: "y'see she said she wanted a little one because hers was... was as big as a house"

Sean Quagmire

Poncho: "so im eating my girlfriends pussy and i said jeeze thats a big pussy jeeze thats a big pussy. she said 'why did you say it twice' i said i didnt...
because..becasue of the echo.."

The Bollox

Blain: it's time to get 'ol painless outta the bag! *crunch* *crunch*

and of course, one of the best moments:

*Dillon slips on the slope, loosening some logs*
*Mac puts a knife up to his face and says*
"listen here, I don't care who you are in the real world. Out here, if you give away our position one more time I'll bleed you, real quiet, leave you here. GOT THAT!"

I f*cking love Mac, he was cold as ice

humanji

Even though it was tacked on by popular demand and it's a horrifically stupid film, you have to admire: "I have had it with these mother****ing snakes on this mother****ing plane!"

armour87

There are millions but the first two that come to mind are;

SNATCH

Near the end where the lads are waiting to attack the "pikeys" and Massive Attacks' Angel kicks in and the pikeys launch a pre-emptive strike

V FOR VENDETTA

Near the beginning where V starts into the big speech almost entirely with words that begin with V.

grames_bond

pulp fiction:

Jules: Now Yolanda, we're not gonna do anything stupid, are we?
Yolanda: You don't hurt him.
Jules: Nobody's gonna hurt anybody. We're gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what's Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda what's Fonzie like?
Yolanda: Cool?
Jules: What?
Yolanda: He's cool.
Jules: Correctamundo. And that's what we're gonna be. We're gonna be cool. Now Ringo, I'm gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your gun, and sit your ass down. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.
[Ringo sits down opposite Jules]
Yolanda: All right, now you let him go.
Jules: Yolanda, I thought you said you were gonna be cool. Now when you yell at me, it makes me nervous. And when I get nervous, I get scared. And when mother****ers get scared, that's when mother****ers accidentally get shot.
Yolanda: You just know, you touch him, you die.
Jules: Well, that seems to be the situation. But I don't want that. And you don't want that. And Ringo here *definitely* doesn't want that

BazBox

Commando

Arnie breaks off a pipe from the wall and throws it into Bennet:

"Let off some steam Bennet"

Classic

p.s. when he breaks ur mans neck on the plane and puits the hat over his head:

"Do me a favour, don't disturb my friend here, he's DEAD tired"

GoldenArmz

Robocop

Clarence Boddicker: "Ya know... you probably don't think I'm a very nice guy.... do ya?"

Murphy: "Buddy I... think you're slime"

Clarence Boddicker: "See I got this problem... Cops don't like me.... And I ... don't... like... cops. Neh-Neh-Neh-Neh-Neh-Neh (Aims the gun and blows Murphy's hand off with his shotgun)
"Well give the man a HAND!"

New Scene

Clarence Boddicker approaches a reception desk, Barbara sits behind the desk. Clarence picks up her nameplate...

Clarence: Hiya..... Barbara (Takes his chewing gum out of his mouth and sticks it on her nameplate) I'm here to see Dick Jones... But maybe after you could eh..... Fit me in...?"
Barbara: (Disgusted) "He's expecting you Mr. Boddicker"

johnny_ultimate

Any scene involving vegetables in Shoot 'Em Up.
The opening of Paprika - such slick animation, with an amazing soundtrack. Same with Akira actually.
Pretty much the entirety of Ocean's Eleven remake.
The human shield bit in Wanted is also slick as anything

ThOnda

Matrix - the jump with the kick and the frozen time movement of the camera. I can remember that moment forever. That was cool.

Terminator 2 - T1000 leaking through the gate and the gun that couldn't go through.

Apocalypse now - the slaughter of the cow.

Basq

I'd go with pretty much any scene in Pulp Fiction but notables include..

- Ezekial 25:17 scene
- Royale with Cheese
- Winston Wolf's introduction
- Captain Koons and the watch
- Butch looking for just the right weapon to use - and deciding on the samarui sword!

I love this film!

niallon

Cool scenes...

- First five minutes of Dawn Of The Dead remake, love that garage explosion.
- The underground tunnel, 28 Days Later...
- The desert scuffle in The Hulk
- The opening of Ghost Ship remake
- Crap film but the trek across the desert to Ghostriders In The Sky in Ghost Rider, brilliant.
- The "noisy roof beams" in The Evil Dead

Serenity---

Jane: Lets be bad guys
The Reavers coming through the cloud in space and the battle

i also love the fact that it's 'realistic', not all the punches make contact and at one point oh dae su hits the wall with the hammer when taking a shot.

and also, one of my favourite pieces of music from a movie.

Creature

Pretty much any scene with Clint Eastwood in any of the Dirty Harry films.

Sean Quagmire

The bit in ‘knocked up’ where all the lads are on a night out in a club and are talking about the film Munich:

‘in fact if we get any p*ssy tonight its because of Eric Bana in Munich’

Creature

The bit in the first one with him talking to the mayor about your man chasing a woman naked down an alleyway is ****ing classic!

all in all that is a legendary film, and I do love that scene, but the music in the background made it perfect IMO
