Coolest movie scenes of all time
« on: September 16, 2008, 11:04:12 PM »
I recently watched V for Vendetta and it undoubtedly has one of the coolest scenes of all time. It is the scene where, near the end of the movie, V dispactches of Creedy and around a dozen of his goons....

from IMDB.com:

Creedy: Defiant to the end, huh? You won't cry like him, will you? You're not afraid of death. You're like me.
V: The only thing that you and I have in common, Mr. Creedy, is we're both about to die.
Creedy: How do you imagine that's gonna happen?
V: With my hands around your neck.
Creedy: Bollocks. Whatchya gonna do, huh? We've swept this place. You've got nothing. Nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns.
V: No, what you have are bullets, and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer be standing, because if I am you'll all be dead before you've reloaded.
Creedy: That's impossible. Kill him.
[the fingermen open fire on V, but he still stands after their clips are empty]
V: My turn.
[V proceeds to kill all fingermen with his knives before they manage to reload]
Creedy: [desperately shooting at the approaching V] Die! Die! Why won't you die?... Why won't you die?
V: Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

Great scene in a great movie. Feel free to add some more.

I agree, that scene was pretty cool, although my favorite from that movie is when V goes off on his "V rant" where he uses quite a large amount of "v words."  :D

One of my favorite movie scenes of all time is from Dead Poet's Society, at the end. If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch the clip (spoilers, obviously).

Romanticism is embodied in all forms in that last thirty second of the film.  I actually wrote a five page paper about the last seen and how it did that.  ha ha.  I cry every time I watch that movie.

DPS...definitely an extremely cool movie.

Coolest movie scene?  Hands down, the one at the end of The Ring.  If you've seen it, you know the one I'm talking about.  If you haven't seen it yet...GO...WATCH IT!  Wowsers, cool.

I don't know I think there are too many to pick the coolest. My favorite ending has to be the Departed though. Leo dies Damon gets away and the Walburg kills him. Shocking and satisfying.

My favorite movie ending in the sheer wackiness category is actually the Spongebob Movie.  Watch the last 5 minutes.  It's worth it.

The Matrix's ending was amazing (the first one, not the other two after it).

Though V for Vendetta is one of my favorite movies of all time so I'd probably vote for the scene with the "knives and fancy karate gimmicks".

Hmm.... my previous video seems to have been removed from Youtube, curses!

Oh well, here's a few more that I fancy to be pretty cool.

Oldboy really really creeped me out. I actually felt a little dirty after having watched that movie. I was with everything until the end...

One of my favorite scenes is still the simple little scene in True Lies where Tom Arnold is trying calm down Arnold Schwarzenager.

A few of my favorite movie scenes:

The Man from Snowy River descent scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZBXLYJwgt4

How to Marry a Millionaire ending scene where Tom Brookman pulls out a wad of cash and the women all fall over; I laugh every time.

Strictly Ballroom when Scott and Fran dance backstage to everyone's amazement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qlT1ct4biA&feature=related

Nessa, I agree 150% with tMfSR one.  That one is just plain amazing when you think about the amount of skill it takes to ride like that, but also the fact that it was caught on film?  Spectaular.
"The custom of royalty in referring to oneself is to naturally employ the royal 'we'.  We are very happy, we are very sad, we are bored and suffer from ennui.  For a royal prince there's no such word as 'me', It's always 'we'.  So rightfully I should be two or three, don't you agree?"

(And the end of that scene, because for some reason I can't find it all together)

Always one of my favorite scenes. So powerful.

Can I nominate a whole film?  Snatch is the epitome of cool.  Curse you Madonna!

Banlieu 13 (District B13 in English) has a few really awesome scenes, such as:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOp4UGZ65xM

The guy running in the first scene is (actor) David Belle, who is one of the founders of Parkour.  (Warning, scenes contains some language, though it's all in French)
