awesome bits from films :D

[DotCommunist]

oh come on, if we are talking LOTR then it has to be my favorite bit eva from book to film in the mines of moria


Frodo: What a pity Bilbo didn't stab him while he had the chance

Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. There are many that live who deserve death and many dead that deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo Baggins? Do not be so quick to deal in death and judgement. Even the very wise cannot see alll ends

 

[pigtails]

Yeah
It's the only piece of film that gives me goosebumps two decades after I first saw it.

Possibly my favourite line in a movie ..... EVER!

That's a great bit too. Actually I'd just have the whole Moria sequence in the list.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Oh, the end of Robocop.

"Nice shooting kid, what's your name?"

"Murphy".

"See you at the party Richter!" from Total Recall

"You think this is the real Quaid? It is!" from Total Recall

The bit in Terminator 1 where he says I'll be back then drives the truck into the police station.

the bit in Die Hard With a Vengeance where he has to go into Harlem with "I Hate Niggers" on a sandwich board

 

[kerb]

The scene in a Fistful of Dollars where Clint gets shot then stands up to reveal the sheet of metal under is poncho

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Ooh that reminds me, we haven't even gone into Back To The Future...

the bit where Marty is trying to convince Doc he's really from the future. "Ronald Reagan? The actor? Who's the vice president? Jerry Lewis?"

The bit where Marty comes back to 1985 in BTTF2 and it's all turned into some freaky anarcho capitalist dystopia

The way they defeat the baddies in Galaxy Quest. "and you seem blissfully ignorant of the fact that this ship is dragging mines". A climactic manoeuvre worthy of any 'serious' scifi film.

Also the bit in Galaxy Quest where the kid is trying to help them but gets interrupted by having to put the rubbish out

 

[Wolveryeti]

That bit from predator when you think Arnie's gonna get nailed when Pred sees him on the IR-cam - but NO! it's just a rat or something.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I know its not all killing and violence, but the Twist and Shout bit of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the bit from Pretty in Pink where Ducky lip syncs and the bit where they all get stoned and dance in The Breakfast Club

From Ferris, my favourite bits include...

"I mean today we're going to be studying european socialism. What's the point? I'm not european, I don't plan on being european, so why should I care if they're socialist? They could be fascist anarchists and it wouldn't change the fact that I don't own a car"

The bit where the two greasy guys from the parking lot 'borrow' the car and drive it down the street in slow motion to the Star Wars theme tune

The bit where Cameron's lying in bed and that song plays "When cameron was in Egypt land... let my Cameron go"

The bit at the end where the headteacher gets on the bus looking totally battered and beaten

The stripogram

The bit with Charlie Sheen as the junkie

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

That bit from predator when you think Arnie's gonna get nailed when Pred sees him on the IR-cam - but NO! it's just a rat or something.

My favourite bit in that is where one of the black guys uses the knife to get the scorpion off the other guy's shoulder, and then later Predator plays back the recording of "Any time..." as he walks through the jungle.

 

[Wolveryeti]

It is a class film.

In hindsight, I am changing my choice to the bit when invisible feet land in the bottom of the waterfall.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Oh, and that speech from The Last Temptation of Christ which was sampled on CJ Bolland's The Prophet. I didn't particularly enjoy the film, but I love that bit cos I used to dig that tune and that sample.

 

[8den]

The bit with Charlie Sheen as the junkie

Oh you know him? And she curls her knuckle up.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Oh you know him? And she curls her knuckle up.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oh, and that speech from The Last Temptation of Christ which was sampled on CJ Bolland's The Prophet. I didn't particularly enjoy the film, but I love that bit cos I used to dig that tune and that sample.

"I'm here to tear down everything around you...."

Best techno tune ever

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

At Uni we used to listen to that bit over and over again, but nobody actually knew where it was from. I only realised many years later when I watched the film.

 

[8den]

The bit in Ghostbusters where Dan Ackroyd yanks the table cloth off the table with all the posh plates and cutlery and goes "I've always wanted to do that"

[Pedant]
Thats Bill Murray
[/pedant]

The scene in the mayor's office in Ghostbusters

"And if we're wrong, we're wrong, we'll go to jail, quietly! peacefully! But Lenny if we're right, you'll have saved the lives of millions of registered voters".

 

[sned]

The bit in the Thing when the guy gets his arms bitten of by the other guy's chest.

The bit in Nightmare Before Christmas with Jack singing after he gets shot out of the sky.

The bits in Dark Knight with the joker.

The bit in Big when they play the song on the massive piano.

The bit in Green Mile when Mr Jingles/Jangles(?!?) comes back to life.

The bit in the first Saw when jigsaw gets up revealing that he'd been in the room the whole time.

The bit when King Arthur fights the black knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail.

The bit in [REC] at the end in the attic in nightvision.

The very last scene of Blair Witch Project.

... that'll do for now...

 

[8den]

The bit in the Thing when the guy gets his arms bitten of by the other guy's chest.

"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!"

 

[machine cat]

the bit in aliens when the marine sticks the gun in an alien's mouth and says "eat this!" before blowing it's brains out

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I like "Have you ever been mistaken for a man?"

"No, have you?"

Best comeback ever.

 

[machine cat]

I love that bit too

 

[rekil]

Stone'enge.

 

[machine cat]

the bit in commando where arnie stabs a guard in the chest with a pitchfork, then lobotomises , stabs and chops limbs off with saws and axes various guards before picking up a gun

 

[isitme]

the bit in last starfighter when the enemy ship is all fucked and the alien says 'what now commander'

'now we die'

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

the bit in commando where arnie stabs a guard in the chest with a pitchfork, then lobotomises , stabs and chops limbs off with saws and axes various guards before picking up a gun

Do you mean where he's been hiding in a shed?

There's a quality bit of head-section-slice-offage in that bit.

 

[machine cat]

yeah the shed scene

 

[isitme]

i love the bit in close encounters where the mothership appears

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Even though some aspects of True Lies are pretty shoddy, the actual action bits are pretty tip top. I love the bit where he explains to the torturer how he's going to escape...

"First I'm going to use you as a human shield, then I'm going to kill the guard over there, then I'm going to break your neck."

"How are you going to do that?"

"You know those chains? I filed them..."

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

And the bit in True Lies where he picks up the two Dobermanns and smashes them together

 

[machine cat]

the bit in during the asteriod field scene in empire strikes back where a tie fighter hits one asteriod, spins out of control then hits another and explodes
