1. Willem Defoe isn't too awesome in Boondock Saints or anything.
Great movie.

Fuckin'- What the fuckin'. Fuck. Who the fuck fucked this fucking... How did you two fucking fucks..Fuck!

Well, that certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.


:rofl:

Don't know if this counts as powerful, but it's funny and tense at the same time.

Snatch

3. The scene at the bridge in Apocolypse Now.
Also, that part in Breakfast Club where the little girl says "My home life is un-satisfying."

(My brain is a strange place.)

5. Children of Men
During the firefight inside of the foreigner holding area.

As an aside, having now read the book, I like the movie better. The book's ending just kinda sucked.

10. that's a brilliant scene
the 10 minute continuous shot followed by the almost nativity-like scene is bloody brilliant and brings tears every time.

6. I misread your instructions, and thought you wanted great firefights, so got this - Wild Bunch
Final scene.

THIS is how you film a firefight.

9. Tombstone: "I'm your huckleberry"
One of my all time favorite movies, and this duel still ranks as one of the greatest I have ever seen. The taunting after the mortal shot pushes it to a true classic.

13. One of my favorite films
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 12:52 AM by rockymountaindem
"You oughta be in bed, Doc. What are you doin' out here?"

"Wyatt Earp is my friend"

"Shit, I got a lot of friends"

"I don't"

That one kills me every time.

11. When Brian is preaching in Monty Python's Life of Brian

12. One of the many cool fights from Equilibrium
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZzQ9BF_mKE

A little fantastic, but Equilibrium is my favorite newer "shoot-em-ups."

And who can forget ol' Clint in A Fist Full of Dollars.
