re: Obscure, small moments in movies that you enjoy for whatever reason

Scene in Caddyshack when Rodney D starts playing the music in his golfbag and everyone starts dancing. There is a guy in the background doing the most ridiculous looking dance. It's awesome.

Yellow shirt, black pants to the right at the 39 second mark LINK

Also . . .

In "To Kill a Mockingbird" :
Gregory Peck confronting the redneck father of the girl who claimed she was raped.

In "24 Hour Party People":
Toward the end when Tony Wilson meets with London Records and explains that there are no written contracts with Factory Records' artists.

In "Raising Arizona" :
John Goodman when explaining he had to tunnel through the middle of a sewer line when escaping prison: "Dumb luck, that".

When Winston Wolfe turns back to Jimmy after he takes his first sip of the coffee Jimmy made, and smiles.

The first one i thought of.

And in Raising Arizona, the chase scene through the supermarket H.I. turns up an aisle real quick and the dogs keep running straight.

In scarface during the riot scene, there's this old man just randomly swinging a stick (2x4 or something) at nothing. Just walking in circles swinging a stick. I me and my buddy always laughed our asses off at that.

That is similar to my small memorable part in Mad City. When I was younger I had a friend that saw the movie and wanted to bad for me and my buddies to watch it with him cause he thought it was so good. In the first 10 minutes there is a news reporter doing a piece on a street. In the background there is a random dude tap dancing down the street. Well, that was the end of taking the movie seriously for us. We spent the rest of the movie pissing my buddy off by makign non stop tap dancing jokes.

I do not think that this scene lasts 15 seconds:

Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Renault: Oh, thank you very much.

Then the look that Rick give the Croupier is classic.

The scene in Unforgiven, when Will is waiting outside of the town with the kid, and the lady comes to meet them and starts telling them about what happend and he just grabs the bottle from the kid and starts drinking...you can just see the evil in his eyes as he knows what he is about to do.

---

That's a real good one, especially given all the back story about what a crazed killer he was when he was drinking and how he doesn't do that anymore.

As we were talking about the "Fright Night" remake recently, here's a little moment from the original that always stuck with me:

LINK

Jerry the vampire is casually descending the stairs, having left Charlie in a bedroom with his girlfriend, and the kid screams when he sees what Jerry did to her. Jerry pauses, closes his eyes, arches his eyebrows, smiles with satisfaction, and does this little shake of his head. He doesn't say anything, but he doesn't need to.

Caddyshack:

Judge Smails walks into the clubhouse, past two dudes playing cards, and says as he passes, "Don't you have homes?"

I fall out every time.

Runner-up, Blazing Saddles:

Punching the horse.
