I disagree- I think she had a sex appeal that drove me wild

Nice. I will avoid part III. Seems to be the concensus wise decision.

The first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is in a special catagory....
Duckers-- Great scenes that make you duck under your seat (or sofa cushions) causing you to avoid those scenes in the future.
Included are the torture scene in "Braveheart", most of "The Passion of the Christ" etc

Oh yeah, that one too. And also the look on Ricks face as the train left Paris without Ilsa.....it makes the whole movie work.

Last of the Mohicans- The "I will find you!" Good call there! That movie is rich with powerful scenes. My two fav scenes are 1) the kiss at the beseiged fort and 2) when Alice throws herself from the cliff. Amazing movie - the music carried it.
Another favorite moment is 'Gandalf's Charge' in LOTR The Two Towers. Wasn't in the book, but gives me goosebumps each time I see it.
Dittos for Snowy River.

When Tommy Lee Jones catches the fellow horsewhipping Jones's bastard son in Lonesome Dove.
The best miniseries/series/whatever to ever be produced for television - period.

Most powerful moment in film for me is the storming of the beaches on D-Day in Saving Private Ryan. I cannot watch it without goose bumps and tears. What those brave men faced, and all of those who were lost, gets to me every time I see it. Then the calm afterward when the ocean is red from the blood from the dead and the bodies left laying on the shores.
That is a powerful and surreal moment.

I heard it was intense. But I've never seen it....yet.

"... So..., eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway..., we delivered the bomb. How could that be when the A-bomb wasn't even tested until July, 1945?

Duvall was made to play Gus.

I've yet to watch them without wincing at the female caricatures (virgin, mother, whore). I think you've gotta remember that when you watch a Mafia movie like Goddfellas or The Godfather that these are tales of guys who can shoot somebody in the back of the head that they've known for years and then say something like "it's just business,it's nothing personal".These are guys whose "moral compasses" don't even remotely resemble those of 96% of men in the general population.
These films *are* most enjoyed by guys,just as "Bridges of Madison County" is best like by gals.

LOL....place Tom Seleck (sp) in Rourke's place and it works just fine for me!!!!!

.....Dr Zhivago is such a great movie. They don't make 'em like that anymore.........
And, on top of the great acting and character development and excellent story line,
the cinematography was mind blowing!
To: najida
How about the bar scene in "Goodfellas"? The one where Billy Batts is getting kicked to death by Jimmy and Tommy. Love the movie.

I was always struck by when Sugar Ray Leonard destroyed Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull.
And there is the "Look into your heart" speech in Miller's Crossing.
And the one scene that still gets me is in Tombstone, when they ask Doc Holliday why he is there when he should be in bed and he says Wyatt Earp is his friend. And they say they have lots of friends and he says "I don't." That always gets me, and Val Kilmer was robbed of an Oscar.
