In the recently released movie The Expendables, the entire scene with Willis, Stallone and his conversation with Arnie was just unforgettable.

Arnie: Lets have dinner sometime

Stallone: Sure when?

Arnie: In a thousand years!

Stallone: Too soon

:laugh:

John Carpenter's The Thing

When MacReady (Kurt Russell) was testing everyone's blood for alien contamination with a hot wire and one of the samples, screams and leaps off the petri dish. *Shiver*

Usual Suspects

The scene where the detective is checking out the tac board

and starts noticing all the names he heard in Soze's story.

Awesome.

Oh, and there's been a couple of Good Will Hunting examples...

but no-one mentions Robin Williams' greatest performance to

date? When he grabs the kid by the neck in an outburst of

rage and says, "Disrespect my wife again and I'll end you."

Yeah this is gonna sound cheesy, but the scene in Independence Day where the old crop duster pilot flies his plane into the mothership and says "in the words of my generation, up yours!". I can't help but get teary-eyed every time I see that scene.

My absolute favourite is from Casablanca. The scene is in Rick's Cafe in Morocco, which outside the war zone, in WWII. A few German's are singing 'Die Wacht am Rhein' in the bar full of Frenchmen and they get drowned out by one man and then the entire bar singing 'La Marseillaise' over the top of them.

Such a powerful scene. Made even more powerful by the fact the scene used real (i.e. non-actor) Frenchmen, and it was filmed in 1942 during the war.

Yeah, it's epic.

Mm.. since this is about movies I can't put The Wire on the list, but that show has some amazing scenes (and quotes).

I think the opening scene from Cidade de deus (City of god in english) is amazing. There's one in Gran Torino that gives me the chills, but it's not the ending. I don't wanna spoil things for anyone so let me just say that it's the last scene with the priest and Walt.

Also the opening scene from The wild bunch.. up to that great first line by William Holden.

The full monty is full of memorable scenes too !

Steven Seagal in Exit Wounds.

He has to go on anger management. When he has to introduce himself and tries to get out of his chair, he completely breaks his chair and tells everyone he hasn't got an anger issue. He shows the most serious face ever and says: "see this face, this is a happy face". :rofl:

Stardust:

What do stars do?

They shine!

The Last Samurai:

?I continue to live among these unusual people. I am their captive, in that I cannot escape. Mostly, I?m treated with a kind of mild neglect, as if I were a stray dog, or an unwelcome guest. Everyone is polite. Everyone smiles and bows. But beneath their courtesy, I detect a deep reservoir of feeling.

They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake, they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seen such discipline.?

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      "over a thousand engineering hours" and started selling it but could not take a couple of minuets to send an AI email to ask permission. What an expensive lesson.

      Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
