Personal Top 5 movie scenes
16 years ago
Well, I came on tonight and saw two artists I watch have the same type of journal. Well, I took the idea...
#5 - "Drop. Your. Sword." The Princess Bride
The scene is the ultimate bluff and intimidate check in movie HISTORY!(I play D&D, if you didn't already know that.) Wesley faces down Prince Humperdink after he (successfully) had killed him by torturing him to death. For the honor of his true love, he comes up with one of the best speeches ever about fighting until the opponent is so deformed that the looser would have to hear "Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God! What is that thing," will echo in your perfect ears." He then rises and points his sword at Humperdink and bluffs him to give up fighting.
#4 - The Baptism Scene The Godfather
This scene shows just how much of his father is in Michael Corleone. In one smooth motion, he takes care of all of his families problems and returns the family to it's rightful place in the mafia. The operation is so smooth that even his doubters bowed to him and called him Don.
#3 - D-Day Saving Private Ryan
Probably one of, if not the best, war scene ever. What is not perfect about this war scene. 20 minutes of gritty World War II combat set at the greatest battle in the modern war era.
#2 - Opening Sequence Raiders of the Lost Ark
Set the tone for a awesome movie, a okay sequel, a more awesome third movie and a decent finally. Tell me, how do you top the golden idol and the rolling boulder of doom? You can't.
#1 - Krakow Ghetto Liquidation Schindler's List
In probably one of the only scenes I remember crying in, the brutality of the Nazi Holocaust in Germany is only accented much more by the single dose of color in the film besides candles being this little girl wandering around in a red coat. Later on in the movie, after speculating if she had survived through the whole movie, you see the wheelbarrow carry bodies of the dead past and the red coat in the pile. Schindler's reaction is that of such shock that I realized that movies were more then just explosions and funny one liners. You need emotion and story. For that reason, it stands out far above the rest of the list.
