Isn't this The Rookie with Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen?

The long, drawn out hallway scene in Exorcist III. One of the most memorable moments ever in cinema.

So, so many....

The last stand in Aliens. 5 minutes of absolute adrenaline spewing action. It has one of the best build ups in history, a brilliant "HOLY FUCK!" scene where Hicks looks up in the ceiling, then shooting shooting shooting, explosions, shooting, aliens, acid, and Paul Reiser getting ambushed by a 7 foot tall bug.


It has EVERYTHING :D Probably my favorite movie moment, EVER.


The bank robbery in Heat was also fantastic. Almost no talking, just horrifyingly loud assault rifle fire.

For some reason, i have always gotten a kick out of Buffalo Bill's little "personal moment" in the mirror in Silence of the Lambs... Want to creep someone out? Reenact just a little bit of that scene and watch people start to squirm. Help out if you can imitate his voice (which i can.... :) "You wanna fuck me? I would fuck me..."

Classic....


And no "greatest moments" list would be complete without the hallway shootout in Equilibrium.

oh
 

i have so many different favorites.

in the master of disguise with the whole turtle club thing. Turtle turtle aint i turtley enough for you turtle club turtle turtle and then he bites the dude's nose off. lol funny stuff.

in Red Rose when the hallway keeps changing getting shorter and longer.

in resident evil apocalpyse(sorry for misspelling) when Nemesis comes into the picture oh that was great scared the shit out of me too lol.

you all know when they go into the room where they hear a noise or just sit there all stupid and then they get killed well stephen king twisted it so bad ur totally scared because ur yelling out at the screen run idiots dont go in there and then a cat or something happens and then the killer comes good stuff.

i would like to be as good as stephen king and the other geniousess out there, but i know i wont ever be as good as Stephen King he is a god lol

Carpenters' The thing : when all hell breaks loose on the operating table

the chase scene in Raising Arizona (running through someones house - no one there but the TV is on)

two guys and a girl .. robery downey looking at himself in a mirror and saying 'what the hell is wrong with you' (at a time when his own personal world was caving in)

terminator 2 - the new terminator walking through the bars (we hadnt seen CGI like that before)


bunch of others I'll think of as i go.

Thge dogs chasing nicholas cage around the store while he is carrying diapers had me on the floor. I also loved Tex Cobb takingout small animals while driving through the desert. Thats just evil




pretty much any part in t2 that had the t-1000 effects was a masterpiece. I love it near the end when the terminators are fighting, and Arnie swings the t-1000 face-first into the wall, and rather than turning around, he morphs his front onto his back and attack again.

Robert Patrick is a godamn intimidating looking man...



I have always loved the gunfight in the cocaine factory in Robocop. great intro, the door to the place starts pounding over and over, scaring the piss out of everyone, then the door falls in. Robocop walks in, and is targeting everyone in the place (subtle trick, it explains why every shot he takes hits the mark).

Best opening line to an action scene:
"Come quietly or there will be, trouble."

damn...gotta love that scene, and that one-liner.

i loved the attention to detail as well ..

when the thing was morphing and oozing into the helicopter - everything was reflected in its surface .. properly - conforming to the spherical shape ...

you just never saw anything like it before ..

And sadly, rarely seen since.


This is why James Cameron can't keep a wife, he is a completely anal retentive asshole who refuses to comprimise his vision for any reason. I love him to death, he is one of my idols. The extended version of t2 has quite a few more little things that were cut out for time. i love the scenes where the t-1000 is begnning to lose control of his sampling because he was frozen. great touch that im glad was readded.

Dont forget the sound effects too. That and the visual effects in that movie were in one-word...breathtaking. Stan Winston, Gary Rydstrom and their teams did ground-breaking work for T2, indeed.

Deserved the 4 Academy Awards it got in all respects, IMO.
