One of the Pink Panther films (Return of the Pink Panther I think) with Peter Sellers where he is standing in his apartment and hears a sawing sound and can't place it, so he hyperventilates to copy the sound (thinking it's breathing) only to find his assistant is cutting a hole in the floor, which he falls through.

 

Hilarious! IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072081/

Brody: Smile you son of a BITCH. :laugh:

[shoots at the air tank]

Brody: [Jaws blows up]

[brody laughs manaically]

Brody: You're gonna need a bigger boat.

There are more but that's all I had time to put in :) Off to work!

The ring dropping to the floor toward the end of "The Sixth Sense."

The beach cabin scene in "Road to Perdition."

Bar scene with a vengeful William Munny in "The Unforgiven."

The L.A. bank robbery shootout in "Heat."

Scene:

----

From Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation:

INT. AUDITORIUM - LATER

McKee scribbles a diagram onto a transparency in an overhead

projector. It's some kind of complicated time-line with act-

breaks and corresponding page numbers indicated. The

audience members take copious notes. Kaufman sweats.

KAUFMAN (V.O.)

It is my weakness, my ultimate lack of

conviction that brings me here with all

these desperate idiots lapping up

everything this bag of wind spouts. Easy

answers. Rules to short-cut yourself to

success. And here I am, because my jaunt

into the abyss brought me nothing. Well,

isn't that the risk one takes for

attempting something new. I should leave

here right now. I'll start over --

(starts to rise)

I need to face this project head on and --

MCKEE

... and God help you if you use voice-

over in your work, my friends.

Kaufman stops, looks up, startled. McKee seems to be looking

at him.

MCKEE

God f***ing help you! It's flaccid,

sloppy writing. Any idiot can write

voice-over narration to explain the

thoughts of a character. You must

present the internal conflicts of your

character in image, in symbol. Film is a

medium of movement and image.

----

It's not really a scene per say, but more a quote:

"Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of

what is true. There are a million little strings attached to every

choice you make; you can destroy your life every time you choose. But

maybe you won't know for twenty years. And you'll never ever trace it

to its source. And you only get one chance to play it out. Just try and

figure out your own divorce. And they say there is no fate, but there

is: it's what you create. Even though the world goes on for eons and

eons, you are here for a fraction of a fraction of a second. Most of

your time is spent being dead or not yet born. But while alive, you

wait in vain, wasting years, for a phone call or a letter or a look

from someone or something to make it all right. And it never comes or

it seems to but doesn't really. And so you spend your time in vague

regret or vaguer hope for something good to come along. Something to

make you feel connected, to make you feel whole, to make you feel

loved. And the truth is I'm so angry and the truth is I'm so ****ing

sad, and the truth is I've been so ****ing hurt for so ****ing long and

for just as long have been pretending I'm OK, just to get along, just

for, I don't know why, maybe because no one wants to hear about my

misery, because they have their own, and their own is too overwhelming

to allow them to listen to or care about mine. Well, **** everybody.

Amen."- Said by the minister in Synecdoche, New York, again, by Charlie Kaufman.

Charlie Kaufman remains to be one of my favorite screen playists of all time.

The mist ending and the part in pulp fiction when the dude get his head blown off in the car.

How did The Mist end in the movie?

In the short story it ended with everyone trapped in the grocery store and no apparent end in sight to the 'event.'

The "Mexican" standoff and the end of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

The "ear" scene in Reservoir Dogs. I can't hear Stuck in the Middle with You without doing Michael Madsen's little dance.

Rutger Hauer's death speech at the end of Bladerunner. Hauer always has great death scenes, it must be in his contract somewhere.

The opening scene of Wings of Desire.

Alec Guinness' walk from the box to see the camp commander in The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Gregory Peck and David Niven's argument over what to do with the traitor in the Guns of Navarone.

The Normandy assault scene at the start of Saving Private Ryan.

Portman and Braff's kiss in Garden State. (so sue me)

When the Bride fights the crazy 88 in Kill Bill.

The top of Devil's Tower in Close Encounter.

The Battle of Hornburg (Helm's Deep) in LOTR: Two Towers.

The Chopper ride in Apocalypse Now.

The final salon scene in Unforgiven.

I could go on. But I don't think the best films really have standout scenes.

from a chinese movie Young and Dangerous III when Ekin's girlfriend gets shot right in front of him

...favorite fanboi scene

Star Wars ep II when Yoda fights with a lightsaber

from Serendipity when he gets the book with the girls phone number in it

    • $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.
    • Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.
    • Thanks
    • I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.
    • On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
