In no particular order: (Well, Shawshank is my #1, but oh well)
1. "O Brother Where Art Thou" - the Siren scene. "They done turned Pete into a h-h-ho-horny toad."
2. "Shawshank," the last 20 or so minutes from when Red gets out and on. I cry everytime. I start getting the lump in my throat when Red find the box under the oak tree, and reads the letter from Andy. I can watch that movie 100 times over.
3. "Office Space," when Drew is doing his "oh" face. Also, Peter's dream of Lumberg screwing Joanna.
4. "True Romance," scene with Walken and Hopper. Hopper knows he is toast, and he is the air of smoothness as he is giving his history lesson. Also, when Clarence is patching up Alabama on the car seat by the airport. Great dialog.
5. "Once Were Warriors," Beth's slave speach to Jake in the kitchen before he puts his fist through the wall 1 inch from her head. That has got to be one of the most intense movies I have ever seen.
6. "Pulp Fiction," The look on Vincent's face as he opens the door to find Butch standing there with the uzi pointed at him. Classic.
7. "Taxi Driver" when DeNiro is talking to the Secret Service guy aboutjoining the SS.
8. "Fight Club" when Narrator beats himself up in front of his boss, and then crawls up to him and grabs his hands, grinning, and then sobbing when the guards walk in. Closing the scene out, walking down the office hallway, bloodied to shit with a shopping cart full of office supplies, whistling.
9. "Raising Arizona" the whole scene when H.I. goes in to get the diapers, and ends up robbing the place. "Son, you've got a panty on your head" "Drive"
10. "Magnolia" Every scene with Jason Robards and Phillip Seymore Hoffman. They were wonderful on screen together. John C. Riley's entire performace. Just wonderful. Another favorite all-timer movie.
And the list goes on.........
