Best movie scenes

Any of a half dozen scenes from Usual Suspects or Reservoir Dogs. For those who go back a ways conversation on the giant Ferris Wheel between Orson Wells and Joseph Cotten.

Yeah, I get that still didn’t like it all that much. Very depressing. I just don’t get into that type of movie. Ben Kingsley and the Iranian woman that plays his wife are great in it.

Romeo and Juliet ends badly, but it has a lot of uplifting parts to it. The House of Sand and Fog is pretty much depressing throughout. Culminating in a murder suicide.

I don’t like being depressed after watching a movie.

Reminds me of a date I had in college. We had dinner, then decided to rent a movie. Brought the movie back to watch at my apartment: Gallipoli. My date didn't love the depressing ending. That was a...poor choice. And I had seen it before, so really no excuse. (We did go out a couple more times, but we weren't soul mates.)

Gallipoli is a more uplifting movie than The House of Sand and Fog.

I know you'll find it shocking, but I have to disagree. Some movies are so poignant and hard-hitting that it makes you want to have somebody nearby to hold onto.... Luckily, I was nearby.;)
 



Not sure if this has the power out of context: Robert Dinero's character was a man of war who had killed his brother in a crime of passion, carried his burden of armor and weapons on a perilous journey with the missionaries to this tribe.

 




I saw this in the theater. I was afraid if I went to buy popcorn, they wouldn't show the movie...because it was just me and my friend and like 2 other people in the theater.
