...too hard to pick the greatest, but here are a few memorable ones (also in no particular order):
1. The Passenger:
While Nicholson is driving the convertible down the allee of trees, Maria Schneider turns around in her seat - and for a few seconds is framed by the blurring trees exploding out from around her head.2. Being There:
The scene when Sellers has just left the mansion and you realize that the estate is in the middle of the ghetto.3. Mayor of Sunset Strip:
I'm not big into Coldplay, but the scene where Bingenheimer throws his mother's ashes over the boat -- with "Yellow" blasting in the background... i don't know, it was pretty moving at the time.4. My Own Private Idaho:
The campfire scene where River Phoenix opens up to Keanu is big ans small at the same time.5. Paris, Texas:
The bit where Harry Dean Anderson reveals himself to Nastassja Kinski through the peep show glass by telling that super long story...6. Harold and Maude:
"I find the very QUESTION dustasteful"...7. Five Easy Pieces:
"I want you to hold it between your KNEEEEES."-- bonus documentary section --
8. Endless Summer:
When the "chief" of the village tries to learn to surf... there's a LOT of socio-cultural stuff going on in that one little sequence.9. Running Fence:
The moment when Christo decides to break the law to finish installing the portion of the artwork that extends out into the ocean... and when the hundreds of sweaty hippies find out that they have like 2 hours to finish 20 miles of installation before the cops arrive to shuit it down... Took some balls.
