re: Movie Scenes That Have Stuck With You.......

Curb Stomp ...American History X.......

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Where the door opens to the dining room and Han sees Vader and fires three laser blasts at him. Vader deflects the blasts with his hand and then snatches the gun from Solo. That scene made Vader the baddest m'fer ever. I saw that movie when I was 4 and I couldn't imagine anyone more bad arse than Darth Vader.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Tuco running through the cemetary, past grave after grave, with that glorious Morricone music soaring (the same music that's recently been sampled for a hip-hop song and used in a fricking commercial.)

It is my earliest memory of seeing a "grown up" movie and it's still one of my favorite scenes ever.

The "Danny Boy" sequence in Miller's Crossing.

The chest burst scene from Alien.

The begining of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Jason grabbing the girl in the boat at the end of the original Friday the 13th.

When the guys head ends up in the TV in Ichi the Killer.

The Exorcist : the whole freaking movie!

Kitchen scene of "Saturday Night Fever"...don't touch the hair.

"Field of Dreams"...James Earl Jones speach about Baseball.

Mann: Ray, people will come, Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. "Of course, we won't mind if you have a look around," you'll say. "It's only twenty dollars per person." They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it; for it is money they have and peace they lack.

Mark: Ray, just sign the papers.

Mann: And they'll walk out to the bleachers, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. They'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces.

Mark: Ray, when the bank opens in the morning, they'll foreclose.

Mann: People will come, Ray.

Mark: You're broke, Ray. You sell now or you lose everything.

Mann: The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.

Mark: Ray, you will lose everything. You will be evicted...C'mon, Ray.

Ray: I'm not signing.

Mark: Ahhh, you're crazy! Absolutely nuts!!

The bathroom scene at the beginning of Grandma's Boy.....Game Over

One from TV:
When Fred Sanford walks into traffic court.

Ezekiel 25:17


"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish, and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will, shepards the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper, and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and fuuuuuurious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord, when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

The first song on my ipod playlist is Samuel L. Jackson saying this verse from the movie.
