    Life of Brian, again.......

    in the amphitheatre. Judean Peoples Front/Peoples Front of Judea + Ocelot noses.

    Sermon on the Mount, big nose and blessed are the cheesemakers.

    Shekel for an ex-leper.

    Romanes eunt domus. Conjugate the verb........

    And too many more to list.

    A truly excellent film and only just recently screened in a cinema in Bournemouth for the first time ever, although it was a private function.
    Always be yourself, unless you can be Aaron Rodgers....Then always be Aaron Rodgers.

    Let's not forget the sword fight sketch from The Holy Grail. "Come back here you yellow bastard, I'll bite your legs off!"

    Was listening to the soundtrack just the other day, fantastic in its own right too. Will have to rewatch the movie soon, think it's 50yrs old this year. The often used phrase 'They don't make them like that anymore' is rarely more appropriate.

    Legion - the scene with the old women at the start. That's the only good scene in the film.

    Prometheus - the scene where they bring the head back to life. Again the only good scene in the film.

    A Beautiful Mind - the pen scene towards the end.

    Ghostbusters - You can pick just about any scene.

    The Goonies - The scene where Chunk has to talk his way out of being tortured by the Fratelli's.

    Take The Money and Run - The scene where Woody is getting ready to go out on a date and coming his hair in front of the mirror.

    If we are talking specific short scenes instead of films overall then.....
    Sandra Bullock's tear in Gravity. By far the best use of 3D I have ever seen, and possibly the only justification.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Saving Private Ryan, Beach scene, also plenty in Band of Brothers.

    As mentioned above, Once upon a time in the West

    Matrix - foyer scene.

    Casablanca - play it Sam

    There are otherwise too many for different reasons, scenery, story, script, fun

    The freeze frame near the beginning of Goodfellas when the young Henry Hill is running away (towards the camera) with the burning cars that he's just petrol bombed in the background

    Airplane:- "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue"

    The Warriors:- "Warriors, come out to play-ay"

    Withnail and I:- "Monty, you terrible c*nt!"

    Quadrophenia:- "We are the mods, we are the mods, we are we are, we are the mods"

    The closing scene in the Long Good Friday when Bob is being driven off with a very young Pierce Brosnan. No words, epic sound track and an acting master class from Bob from the shoulders upwards.

    No they certainly don't make them like that anymore.

    John Carpenters The Thing - runaway alien head scene. And best ever justified use of the f word in cinema:

    The church scene in High Noon, tells you what the film maker thinks of the American "decent middle classes" and for me defines the saying, "For evil to to triumph it requires only that good men do nothing"
