Tom Visser Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 FMJ was pretty intimidating prior to going to boot camp, but after having gone through it, then watching the movie again, I realize that it was actually a comedy - well sort of a twisted Marine comedy. It's true, part of the training is finding comedy in the most inordinary of places. "What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke"? Well... the answer actually is "yes".

studiomprd Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 memorable scenes are the ones we remember, and when we remember a line so well, that hearing it instantly transports us back, that is one thing... favorite movie scene is, for me, different from most memorable. and I have no one favorite in either category.

Bruce Watson Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 All these scenes, so little comedy. How about the wonderful scene from Steve Martin's Roxane -- 20 somethings better? If you count, you'll find there's a lot more than 20! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 So true RVD. I can't find one of my favorite scenes on the youtube, but it is an opening sequence to Sam Peckinpah's film "The Getaway".... Opening sequences are a topic in and of themselves but also fit in here. This one is brilliant IMO. The everyday life behind bars condensed into a 10 minute credit opening of the film. It uses the staccato sounds of the prison cotton mill cross cut with the deadly routine of the hard time prisoners at a Texas prison to introduce Doc (Steve McQueen) and his problems that set up the story that follows. To me it is a master class in editing picture and sound in a poetic way to tell a larger story. Of course it would be nice if I had the clip, but don't take my word for it, see the film or at least the opening. It is without a doubt the best part of the film. In his prime, Peckinpah had tremendous opening sequences such as the Wild Bunch or Straw Dogs. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_bollard Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 So right Crew - the opening scene is make or break for a film IMO. Need to exercise my brain cells and come up with my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I can't believe no one else has posted one of the all time best comedy scenes ever -- so here 'tis, the arrival of the new Sheriff in Mel Brooks' classic, "Blazing Saddles": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASI Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Stunning performance from De Niro on this movie. One of my favorite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Speaking of intro scenes this one is another all time favorite of mine. Every time I see an old black Jeep that intro song pops into my head. Those were the good ol' days for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 This scene always cracks me up when he finally hits him in the face. When I first started boxing I would be in the gym punching the bag. This scene would pop in my head as I did my workout. At times I would hit myself in the chin (yes, sounds crazy) just so I can get use to the feeling. When I was done doing my thing I would look around to see everyone else looking at me. The look on their face was priceless. haha It's amazing how films influence who we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhforAndAfter Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 I watched Boogie Nights for the first time in a long while the other night. Some truly memorable scenes in there. Particularly the two seperate robbery attempts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJKA_lCR2c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGp-4NP76MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly the two seperate robbery attempts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgJKA_lCR2c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGp-4NP76MM The house in which Boogie Nights was filmed was down the street from where I grew up. One night when I was passing by I saw a ton of extras waiting outside. I had no clue what was being filmed so I decided to park my car and "blend in with the crowd". I walked into the makeup trailer pretending to be an extra so that they can fit me with a 70's costume. Since I was just in High School then and had never been on a set in my life I got too nervous and chickened out last minute. After the movie came out I kicked myself for not following through with it. Then, I probably would have had a better story to tell. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 so? which scene?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miramontes Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 so? which scene?? If you're asking me it was they were shooting the scene when Burt Reynolds was in a hot tub. However, there was a big party scene inside the house that may have taken place at another time in the movie so it could have been two scenes within the same night.

dfisk Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The scene in Captain America: The Winter Soldier where Chris Evans and Samuel L.

soundmanjohn Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 This one rocks The sublime Sam Kelly as Edgar, the sound recordist: one of the nicest men I ever worked with: a Mike Leigh favourite, equally at home in high comedy and deepest tragedy, self-effacing, hardworking and just a delight to be in the same room with him. Sadly, Sam went to that great Green Room in the sky earlier this year. One of nature's true gentlemen. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZigFilm Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 One of my favorite scenes in a newer film is when the main character in Oldboy eats the live squid. The guy has been dead inside and trapped for so long, all he wants to do is get something with life inside of him. Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
