The Wilbur Smith Discussion Forums

We already have a category for “Favorite Movie” and “Movie Quotes” that are quite popular. I just thought to add another one for people to share their favorite movie scenes; even though the movie itself may not be that great. Other times when somebody tell us about a movie a specific scene comes to mind right away, sometimes we remember a scene but we have no idea what movie it belongs to.

That’s what we are looking for here

I will start;

Darth Vader revealing Luke that he is his father in "The Empire Strikes Back". And then the damn movie ends! Possibly, the best cliffhanger in the history of motion pictures.

So many to choose from!
One that stands out for me is the final scene from 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid', there was some good dialogue in there, but i guess for them there was no way out. As a young child i remember grumbling because the final frame was stilled and in black and white and i wanted to know why they had stopped it there. Well it didn't take me too long to work it out!

There are so many good ones! Like the 'king of the world' scene in Titanic, the end of the Sound Of Music when they are on the mountainafter escaping...and definitely Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker...there are also a lot that I can't think of right now!

I'm sure there are lots for me, but the one that really sticks in my mind is the closing court case scene in "A Time to Kill", very emotional.

I have "snippits" that stick with me, but one that comes back time and again is from The Boys From Brasil where the English Clone hollers at Olivier "Don't you understand English you ass we're not home!"

Science being what it is today, a lot of Science Fiction of yesterday will come true. While it is unlikely anybody would have the means to clone Adolph Hitler, genetic manipulation and cloning will exist. Scary isn't it?

best fight scene: King Kong Vs. T-REX

Ive seen too many movies to even remember my favorite scene. I must admit I like the scene from shrek 2 where the giant gingerbread man is attacking the castle

I'm wandering why there are just few posts on this topic,there are so many beautiful scenes to be mantioned.Anyway,I'm thinking of the one in "out of Africa"when M.Streep has her hair washed by R.Redford and the one in "fight club"when E.Norton beats himself in front of his boss.These are actually two of my favourite movies ever

In Liar Liar, with Jim Carrey - This pen is b... red. This pen is... red! This pen is... RED!
I've seen it a hundred times and I still laugh at that part.

Gets me every time , Alad ladd has killed the nasty ryker and his gunslinger pals while little joey peeps under the saloon door , bleeding from a gunshot wound he gets up on heis horse and rides away with little joey calling after him begging him to come back, you know he's gonna ride away and die

Last movie I had watched was Bad Teacher on weekend. Bad Teacher is amazing comedy movie Cameron Diaz.

I have a different take on the ending - Marion says something to Shane about his never returning and he answers, "Never is a long time". I think in a few years he returns and finds that Joe has died and he ends up marrying Marion. I like happy endings

I like the scene in the movie "Ben Hur" when the two women realize they are cured of leprosy. Also like a scene in the same movie where Ben Hur tells Jack Hawkins (can't remember his character's name) "we keep you alive to serve this ship, row well and live."
