So many great scenes in that pic. The "duck of death" scene with Hackman, Mr. Beauchamps and Richard Harris, where little Bill reveals the truth behind the legend of English Bob.

Closing scene of the first Godfather.

The look on Diane Keaton's face while the door is closing while the capos kiss the hand of Pacino...one of those scenes where words would have only screwed it up

Went through the thread and was surprised nobody mentioned Heat

I'd go for the bank robbery shootout because of how bad arse it sounded in the theaters.

Great scene!

I also enjoyed Liam Neeson's conversation on the phone with the kidnapper in "Taken."

"...I have a certain skill set..."

the camera slowly zooming in on Michael Corleone in Godfather I as he explains how he's going to kill McClusky and Solozzo at the restaurant.


Yep.It's such a slow zoom that you don't really notice it until the last line is delivered. By then, it's a close up of Michael.

Great scene. Great movie.

However, I will always be irked that they picked Ray Liotta (who did fine) to play Shoeless Joe Jackson and not a southerner.

Edit: Just watched this scene on YouTube. Gets me every...damn...time.

Major League - "The Indians win it, the Indians win it, oh my god the Indians win it"


Being a Cleveland sports fan, it brings a tear to my eye realizing what those words would actually sound like in real life. Cleveland fans around the world have been dreaming for that day. This clip gives me hope! Actually, anything from this movie is gold!

One scene in a Clint movie that never gets mentioned is from Dirty Harry. He is walking down the stairs with the wife of his wounded partner. After telling her police work is no life for a young couple she asks Harry why he still does it. His response - "I don't know. I really don't." - sums up the entire Harry Callahan character succinctly. The tortured sense of duty to a cause he knows is hopeless trying to protect people that don't appreciate or may not even deserve his sacrifice.
