"KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS When Dennis Price realises he has left his memoirs in his jail cell..."
    //Martin B, Sydney, Australia (freckle9568@hotmail.com.au)



"The final scene in Frank Capra's - IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. The way in which James Stewart realises his importance to the towns people perfectly demonstrated by the visit in which they all pay him. Perfect!!!"
    //Darren Hibbert (Darrenhibbert1@yahoo.co.uk)



"
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. The scene when Donna Reed is on the phone with Sam in New York and James Stewart listens in with her...the passion between them is electric as you can feel them drawn to
one another. She hangs up the phone and they kiss passionately !! Lovely..."

"
James Stewart in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. So many great scenes, but the ending when he runs through town, realising what he did have, shouting "Hello Bedford Falls!" and knocking on Mr Potters window. Fantastic film."
  
//Dawn



"
IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE - James Stewart, Donna Reed, bells ringing and the message of not just christmas but of light. I think this scene is great because although it themes with religion it still makes me - the biggest atheist - send a shiver up his spine everytime I watch it."
    //Joe



"A great scene is in NOTORIOUS (1946) where the camera pans down the stairs and centres on Ingrid Bergman's hand holding the key. The sheer tension and suspense combined with amazing cinematography make this an unforgettable scene."
  
//JohnKa



"The Scene in BAMBI where Bambi runs off into the woods and thinks he is followed by his mother but suddenly realises that she has been shot and is dead. Such a funny scene..."
    //Greg Curtis



"The long good bye in CASABLANCA turns me on."



"CASABLANCA - Bogart saying goodbye to Ingrid Bergman at the airport, most likely not to see the love of his life again but being noble about their predicament."
  
//Mike R.


"In KING'S ROW (1942) when Ronald Reagan reaches for his legs and they are gone, "Randy, Randy Where is the rest of me?"."
    //Janie Mommy



"RANDOM HARVEST. 1942. Ronald Colman & Greer Garson. At the end when Colman, who lost three years of his memory at the end of WW I, finally finds the house he lived in during those three years with the wife who is now his secretary, and recovers the lost years of his life. You have to see it (it's on DVD) to realize how powerful this war story is."
    //Dan



"The last scene in CITIZEN KANE.....when we see the sled...Rosebud in the incinerator........No question."
    //Rob Burnett (Rob113a@yahoo.com)
