Scenes of the year 2010

So since the film year is essentially over barring Tron Legacy which I havent seen yet, what are your favourite, funniest, shocking, uplifting etc scenes of the year?

for me:

Toy Story 3:

I thought they were actually going to do it, all the main characters being pushed into a furnace, was this going to be the darkest ending to a Pixar movie yet? granted they get saved but jesus, if that wasnt the most tense few moments of that entire trilogy

Inception: the rotating hallway (i'm not spoilering this as its in all the trailers and its the most well known and talked about scene). I was blown away watching this, the editing, the score, the logistics of it, and the fact not a single bit of cgi was used, movie magic at its best.

How To Train Your Dragon:

The first flight, when Hiccup takes Toothless up for their first test flight, the most uplifting, rousing thing I've seen in an animated movie in years, if it wasnt for TS3, HTTYD would be a shoe in for best animated oscar

Jackass 3D

the midget bar fight, was in tears laughing at it

Totally have to agree with these 2 choices.

But i think my favourite scene of the year was NOT going to see the latest Twilight movie :P.

Honestly tho, i gotta give mention to the scene in Iron Man 2 where

Tony and Rhodes were fighting each other in the Irom-man suits with Daft Punk playing in the back ground.

I also gotta give a nod to some of the 3D effects in Resident Evil Afterlife. There was one scene where a zombie got its head blown off with its back to the camera with some major blood splatter. I was convinced for a second or 2 that there was blood splatterd on my 3D glasses and went to wipe it away................................silly i know

I would also say that awesome scene in TS3 was hands down the best scene in a film all year.

The How To Train Your Dragon one was also brilliant.

I'd like to chime in with the

story of the three brothers animated sequence

in Harry Potter, one of the most artistic and grown up scenes in all of the HP films.

And the

anti-gravity fight scene

in Inception is worth a mention too I think.

That's the scene the OP was on about. I think Inception overall has the best scenes of the year.

Inception spinning hallway for me too, I think I have to go back to the first use of bullettime in the matrix before I could say I went OMG in the cinema.

For all it's faults (and there are many) that scene for me is what movies are about.

Oh and for sheer lunacy, the flying tank sequence in the A-Team

WHIP IT!

Ben Affleck

visiting his Dad in prison

in The Town

and hearing the blunt truth about his mother (or at least his Dad's version of it)

... thought it was quite a powerful scene.

Best scenes? Depressingly, there has been few this year but for me:

We all enjoyed the zero g scene in Inception but was anyone else nearly equally impressed by the

train plowing through main street?

I just think it was an equally well executed "movie magic" moment, something you could never see in this boring real world that only the visual popcorn of filmmaking can provide.

Also, Piranha 3D, bare with me here! the opening scene with

Richard Dreyfuss

I just thought was a great little moment, even though there was more oppurtunity for parody that wasn't exploited.

Finally, though it was a little disappointing as a film I think Predators served up some nice and fairly memorable scenes such as

Danny Trejo's dead body used as bait, the trailer shot with the red dot, even if the trailer edit was a total lie!!!

Have to agree with you on the first one there - was a very good scene, kinda eery.

For me, they got it wrong from the start in this film by casting Adrien Brody in the lead character. Good actor - not believable as a hard-ass mercenary though!

Agree with TS3 and Inception. SOme of my favourites;

The Social Network - The Henley Royal Regatta scene.
Youth in Revolt - The scene where he takes Mushrooms.
Scott Pilgrim Vs the World - The fight with scene with Chris Evans (Evil Ex #2).


Looking through a list of films of 2010 I realised I haven't seen all that many. Quite strange.

Definitely the corridor scene in Inception, what made it even more incredible is that they actually did it mechanically and not by CGI.

I didn't like Inception but even I can't deny the coolness of that hotel scene.

I also thought there were a few great scenes in The Hurt Locker. I think my favourite was the one that was shown in the poster

but I thought the opening scene and the sniper battle were great too.

Scott Pilgrim had some fantastic set-pieces too but my favourite is Scott and Ramona vs. Roxie- Prepare to die! Obviously!

And my last one is from The Social Network- the "do I have your attention?" scene. Definitely the retort of the year. Jesse Eisenberg is so good in this film.
