Great moments of movie magic

Blair Witch, the end where the guy was standing in the corner. The movie looses something with repeated viewings, but man the end really got to me the first time I saw it.

Blair Witch did absolutely nothing for me.

The credits started to roll, and I thought "Oh. I guess that was the end."

Desperado, the gun fight in the bar. I sat through the whole scene mumbling "this is so cool" to myself. Man I love that movie.

Damned straight.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico still hasn't come out in theatres here :(

When the colonial marines with motion trackers realise that "9 feet" is within the room. Ripley checks the ceiling...

*woot duh duh duh duh*

---

When the hero that survived an entire night in a cottage assaulted by the returning dead welcomes the dawn by looking out the window. He spots a posse of well armed humans and he waves to them.

Cut to the humans: "There's one"...

When Jaques Mayol swims out of the sphere of light and follows the dolphins.

Hell, Aliens is one of those films where you can just list the scenes, in a thread like this...

Liam Neeson revealing a Jedi's knowledge of the Force is determined by midichlorians in his cells. Jake Lloyd cheering while blowing up the trade federation ship.

Sean Connery's entrance in Highlander 2.

When Chris O'Donnell struggles with the plants in Batman & Robin, then is pulled under water via the effect of reversing the film.

The Russian crowding cheering for Rocky instead of Drago.
 


Hmmmm one scene in Empire Strikes Back has been missed so while the movie has been listed many I’ll have to add one more.

The Imperial Navy shown from multiple angels, William’s now classic Imperial March plays for the first time. Next we see an Imperial Star Destroyer of epic portions its name the Executioner. We see the man himself, Darth Vader, and we know without question it’s Vader’s flagship. :cool:


Oh and a quick since the mood is mostly set.

“The Emperor is not as forgiving as I.” :cool:

And a freebie.

Pirates of the Caribbean were the pirates walk upon the bottom of the moonlit ocean. :cool:
 


Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - Mister Creosote explodes in the restaurant.

Alien - The chestburster scene.

The Godfather, Part II - Michael's final words to his brother:
"Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?"

Pirates of the Caribbean - The first time we see Captain Jack Sparrow on his sinking ship.

Annie Hall - Alvin's final monologue:
"I though of that old joke, y'know, this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, my brother's crazy. He thinks he's a chicken." And, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" And the guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much how I feel about relationships. Y'know, they're totally irrational and crazy and absurd and, but, I guess we keep going through it because most of us need the eggs."

Well Pirates of the Caribbean has allot of amazing scene but they are very recent to us all. It will be interested how time favors them, but I expect it to be favored very well indeed. :)
