"The Alien bursting out of John Hurt. I've seen it about 100 times and know exactly what to expect but still jump about 10 feet."

"The greatest scene of all time is the first appearance of Marlon Brando's Colonel Kurtz in APOCALYPSE NOW. The suspense and anticipation built up around the character, Coppola's use of light and shadow, and the performance of both onscreen actors, Brando and Martin Sheen, are utterly captivating. Brando's performance as a worldweary, insane genius has to be one of the strongest ever."

"The greatest movie scene of all time is when Rocky wins the heavyweight title from Apollo in ROCKY II with one of the most memorable quotes ever: "Yo Adrian, I did it"."


"An unforgettable scene in movie history is the final scene in ROCKY 2. "Yo Adrian...I did it!"."


"Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken being forced to play Russian roulette against each other in THE DEER HUNTER. Mainly because it shows a part of the war that other films don't show."


"The greatest movie scene is GREASE at the fair when they sing We Go Together."

"Sandy strutting up at the end of GREASE, made over to look sexier, while saying to Danny "Tell me about it, stud!". Classic."

"In MIDNIGHT EXPRESS - When Billy (Brad Davis) goes berserk in the Turkish jail. He's so crazy that he smiles as he spits out the blood of another prisoner."

"The scene in CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, when the mothership emerges from behind Devil's tower, shadowing all who stand to witness it. A silent Richard Dreyfuss can only gaze in stunned silence. A magical moment that truly makes your heart skip a beat."
    //Scott B


"The opening scene from SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER: an upshot of John Travolta struttin' his stuff as he walks down the street to the beat of the music, carrying a can of paint. It tells you all about who he is in that brief moment."
   //Marlene


"The greatest scene in movie history? The last few minutes of the trench run in STAR WARS - may I add, the greatest movie of all time. It was the drumbeat and the suspense which carried on through out the battle - it was a feeling I still can't describe. Incredible! I also look at this scene as the beginning of an international phenomenon."

"THE GODFATHER...Although there are countless memorable scenes (Michael Corleone shooting the
turk and the police captain, the baptism scene, Sonny getting shot in the causeway), the one that always gets me is when Marlon Brando (Vito Corleone) dies of a heart attack. Just before, when he
puts the orange in his mouth and the look on Michael's boy...it's priceless."


"The Greatest Movie scene of all time is in THE GODFATHER when Waltz doesn't comply with the Corleone's with giving Johnny the role in the war movie he is producing and ends up having his 600,000 dollar horse head in his bed. It's so good because it shows true suprisement and just how
brutal movies get."

"THE GODFATHER, the way its starts. Great classic acting, the horse scene on the bed, and the
rest of the film absolutely brilliant."
