re: Most iconic moments in film since 2000?

I do find this being a really interesting discussion in modern times. GIFs have changed everything about movie scenes and clips and how they are remembered.

We now use scenes as communication and reaction, which kind of

I would think "iconic" would be kept for moments like Dorothy clicking here heels, Casablanca's tarmac, Eastwood's wince and nod, etc., those are special moments in film. With that definition I'd say:


Easily #1, probably by a wide margin. Classic actor giving a single, epic line, in a film that will last a long time.


It's the most important shot in the most popular kind of film right now. A synthesis of multiple character movies all tying together for their first battle together. And it's perfectly cinema and comic all at the same time as it is the film representation of the multi-panel-page setup in a CB


Inception might have a couple of these up for grabs, but I'd go with this or the Hallway fight. I'd put this first just due to it's scope and implication.


Taratino is the perfect pastiche director, which is also important for film. And Kill Bill is his most important film, outside of Pulp Fiction, as a mashup of film itself.


Personal choice of mine. I think this fight is just a perfect moment of film. I think, like Gandalf, it will just live on as one of those scenes.


I'd also agree with The Ring, No Country, and the Jail Moment in Dark Knight, and Potter - I'd go with the upshot of the three kids over the book, and probably 300 as well.

Yeah. Not a great film, but that moment will, for better or worse, define 2000s film more than most in this thread.

It is a well composed scene though, so I'm ok with it.

Shucks!

You guys are right!
