What makes a great movie? *snip* We all know that it takes the combination of a good script, good acting, and good directing to make a film worth watching. But the one thing that makes a good film great is those movie moments that stir our emotions and go on to last for as long as our minds will allow us to remember.

La Strada: when Gelsomina realized how badly "The Fool" was hurt.

Yes,I know...but it's my very favorite film.

[Gay State Conservative]

Get some - Full Metal Jacket.

"How can you shoot women...and children?"

"Easy...you just don't lead 'em so much"

Sull Aria - Shawshank Redemption.

"I don't know what those two Italian ladies were singing about..."

[Gay State Conservative]

Hunt for Red October.. “this business will get out of control, it will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it.

My favorite: "...if he so much as twitches I'll blow him to Kingdom Come".

[momincombatboots]

That one always makes me laugh.. and yes, perfectly delivered as well as his.. you have dropped enough sonar buoys so that a man could walk from greenland to Iceland without getting his feet wet.
let’s dispense with the bull..

Breaker Morant: “We shot them under Rule Three-Oh-Three...”

[sparklite2]

Cagney can’t be listed without the breakfast scene where he smeared his wife’s face into a grapefruit half.

[YogicCowboy]

And political correctness.

[Gay State Conservative]

My favorite one (being from Massachusetts) was the one about Scott Brown having won Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Special Election.

[YogicCowboy]

You beat me: definitely Scarlett O’hara!

Hitler,On Scott Brown

[PLMerite]

Is that the movie where Tom Cruise gets killed about 40 times?

[BenLurkin]

With the late great Bill Paxton

[dfwgator]

Breaker Morant: “We shot them under Rule Three-Oh-Three...”

"Shoot straight, you bastards, don't make a mess of it."

[Zirondelle]

“Also, in “The Third Man”, when Holly is in the surreal, nearly abandoned streets in post-war late night Vienna, and hers a woman yelling in German, and a cat getting away. The light turns on, revealing “The Third Man” hiding in a doorway in the alley.”
Yes! The look on Orson Welles’ face!
Add Scarlette and Rhett’s Frankly, my dear...
And Judy Garland’ s “Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore...”

[missthethunder]

When John Wayne spanks Maureen O’Hara in McClintock

[Buttons12]

That was a wife?

[YogicCowboy]

I could not load the full list: too much video content.

Based on what I saw: The Tyranny of Recency plus Political Correctness determined the list.

The Big Lebowski, a cult hit that bombed at the box office, over any of several memorable scenes from Gone With the Wind, the all-time box office winner (in tickets, and in adjusted dollars)?!

That is simply absurd. And where was It’s a Wonderful Life? Where was The Quiet Man?

I repeat: Tyranny of Recency plus Political Correctness.

Critics are among the most uncritically biased persons in all of media.

[sparklite2]

My memory may be inaccurate.

[LS]

Oh yeah. The gatling gun scene.
