FAVOURITE MOVIE MOMENTS

1. When Dan finds out that Alice wasn't her real name/identity in Closer - at the end. I suppose I should have put a spoiler alert there.

2. I love the scene in Pretty Woman (must be Julia Roberts night) when she tells him that in case she forgets to tell him later, she had a great time tonight - before the go out.

Usual Supects was fantastic.

Final death scene from Robin and Marion.
Hot air balloon scene from A Map of the Human Heart.
Ode to Joy scene from Immortal Beloved.
The ice palace scene from Dr Zhivago and the scene on the bus where he finally sees her again and chases her down the street but collapses from a heart attack before he can reach her.
The scene from LA Story when Steve Martin and I-can't-think-of-her-name are holding hands and become little children.
Scene where Natalie Wood meets Warren Beatty again after she's home from the asylum in Splendor in the Grass and they realize that it just aint gonna happen.
The scene in Heaven and Earth where Takeda, who's just taken a vow of celibacy , meets Nami and she is playing her flute under the cherry trees and the blossoms are falling all around her.
All the Mornings of the World .... mostly the whole movie.
The scene in Excalibur when Arthur and his knights have just defeated the Saxons and they gather together in a circle under the stars, swords held aloft and pledge themselves to honor and truth, while Merlin looks on warily, counseling them to always remember this moment because things are going to get ugly.

Ok I'll stop or I could go on all afternoon.
Someone else take a turn ... please.

Truly Madly Deeply where Alan Rickmans ghost appears to Juliet Stevenson while she's playing the piano.

It just goes to prove that if you follow your gut instincts, it will lead you into ultimate freedom.

Freedom from a staged "matrix" of living.

When Gertie dresses up ET. ET, hiding in amongst Gertie's toys, when her mother checked out her closet.
I just love the whole movie. (I saw that when I was seven, too - both movies had a huge effect on me).

This one from Practical Magic:

"That ain't a bridge! That's termites holding hands!" (The movers, in Funny Farm.)

Several scenes from Defending Your Life.

This one from Love Actually: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enrSE6vRWRY

Loved both The Usual Suspects, and Superman 2.

my favourite moment in Pretty Woman is when she goes back to the shop that snubbed her..."yesterday you looked down on me..."showing them all the stuff she had just bought and the attendant she needed to carry it all.."BIG mistake...HUUUGE!!!"

I loved that bit as well.

The Truman Show, is one my most favourite movies... I might watch it today, if I can find the video tape (and if it still works - I received it for Christmas, ten years ago).

Pleasantville, when patches of colour appear in the black and white scenes.

Atonement - that build-up to the scene in the library, when Robbie's typing a filthy letter to Cecilia, and Cecilia's getting ready for dinner. Just lovely.

Lost in Translation - the scene at the end where Bob kisses Charlotte and whispers into her ear. Top Tip - if you listen to the film wearing headphones, on full volume, you can hear what he says. I love everything about that film actually, I think it's flawless.

Dan in Real Life - the shower scene... hilarious, awkward and so endearing. I love Steve Carell.

In the Land of Women - the first time Meg Ryan and Adam Brody walk the dog and talk, it's just nice to see this sad, lovelorn woman and younger man connect on such an emotional human level.

I haven`t seen Titanic either.

Well, I admit I gave it a try, three times or so, but I never could sit it through.
Once I thought I would manage, I was watching "Titanic" in some sort of open air cinema near to the Baltic sea, but within half an hour I decided it was far more interesting to watch the real ships come in and leave the harbour and take a midnight walk at the beach with all that stars glittering in the sky like diamonds.

So no Titanic for me. sorry.

Face/Off - where Nicholas Cage's character walks toward the plane and picks up a pair of gold guns out of a box his goons hold out for him (something memorable about it)

I'll have to come back with more - work's distracting me from this
