i think some movie scenes somehow capture something larger than life. or there's something about the scene that just makes it a favorite. sometimes, the movie is okay but a scene transcends it all.i waited to see an italian movie again called 'white nights' where there is a scene when the italian actor marcello mastroianni is trying to impress a young lady and he goes into a small bar/club/restaurant with her. and he goes into a dance on the floor there. i loved that scene and went to see the movie just to see the scene again.
i find the party scene in 'house party' a great scene in film history. the dancing and one person trying to outdo the other in rap has a grat energy.
i can't think of the name of this film, but it's about two guys who cause trouble going out into the town. i think peter falk was one of the actors. and the review said that the last 15 minutes of the film was one of the most riveting in film history.
i think there are some great scenes in la strada. the end scene finalizes the tradegy.
two scenes i just cry. one is in pather pachali. and the other is at the ending of forbidden games. they are the two scenes i know that just really get to me.
finally, i saw two scenes in the national lampoon's comedy 'van wilder' about 15 times each, and i will buy the film just for these two scenes. one is the dog sperm in the pastry scene at the frat house, and the other is the colon cleaner releasing/medical exam and meeting with the northwestern medical faculty. both are done to perfection.
