Parts of films

[librarius_qui]

The idea is to comment a part of a movie.
You don't need to share a link, once not all movie is available in the internet.



The House of Flying Daggers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_jCHeU_H8c&feature=PlayList&p=C19D8646EAE8E608&index=22

In this part, the soldier had been acompanying the blind girl, and they have a fight, right before. So he leaves her, and each goes in opposite direction. Then, after some time riding the horse, he stops, thinks, and decides to go back. His decision has at the back a wonderful song ...

It's far from being my favourite movie, but it's a very beautifully executed one, and I always have a good time watching it.

Lq.~

I never watched that movie, but I have to say - dig the fight scene :D And that girl blind? No way! :confused: Her eyes don't really move during it all though ... Hmm...

It's a good one. And, well .. She's an excellent actress. I'd recommend digging the first scenes, and going on sequence, so as to enjoy the movie, Sapphir~ :)

[wessexgirl]

Wow! I bought this film a while back, but haven't watched it yet. It's not usually my sort of thing, but it was a bargain, and I'd heard it was really good. I must get around to watching it.

I wouldn't know what part of a film to mention, as I love so many,

[Sapphire]

I will keep this one in mind when I have the time to enjoy a good movie :)

Now for me to give a favourite part? Erm... not sure. I really like the beginning of Matchpoint, but I think I mentioned that somewhere else before :lol: Or the spinning of the wheel when Bond starts to chase Vesper down in Casino Royale. And of course Breakfast at Tiffany's where they actually have breakfast there :)

Ok, here's one I found a clip to:

Love Steams

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YqN7wbEkQg

This is the second half of a dream sequence in which Sarah Lawson (Gena Rowlands) is unable to cope with her divorce.

[DanielBenoit]

Ooo, what a great thread!

Been recently addicted to David Lynch so. . . .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1t%C3%A1ntang%C3%B3

From Muholland Drive, in my opinion, Lynch's greatest moment.

And. . . .

The unbelievable opening scene from Bela Tarr's Werkmeister Harmonies, all done in one ten minute long shot!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcDVjCNTVP8

Beautiful filmmaking. . . .

[Mathor]

ingrid bergman produces some of the finest acting in any movie. ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26DRA09tTik&feature=related

this scene is almost as good as every scene in citizen kane.

[DanielBenoit]

^such a great scene in a great movie. I jut watched it about a week ago. Bergman is personally my favorite of all actresses (with Welles and Cotton being my favorite of actors).

Well of course! Grant easily stands along side Welles and Cotton. But Grant stands alone in the amount of charm and charisma put into his characters. Probably no cast could get better than the cast of The Philidelphia Story: Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, James Stewart!

Nobody plays a better drunk than Cary!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHWN6LnoI8E

Also, for those who love Citizen Kane, as I do:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-09mrx6XU5k

It's well. . . . indescribable :lol: It's a, re-imaging if you will, of Welles masterpeice.

[pjjrfan1]

So many great scenes from so many great movies, but one of my favorites is a scene from Robert Duvall in "Tender Mercies." After seeing his daugher for the first time since his divorce she asks him if he remembers a song he used to sing to her as a little girl, something about a bird or something like that, and Duvall with a blank look on his face say no he doesn't remember. She leaves and as Duvall watcher her leave, destined to die in a car accident, he sings " on the wings of a snow white dove," this scene touched me in so many ways, I marvell at the magic of a good movie.

[DanielBenoit]

Here's some Stanley Kubrick

Barry Lyndon - seduction scene (one of the most hypnotizingly beautiful scenes in film history)
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1240799/barry_lyndon_seducing_without_words/

Barry Lyndon - deathbed scene (DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE! Probably the most powerful and emotional scene of any film)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQsm4wfoTnk

2001: A Space Odyssey - Blue Danue Scene (IMHO the most breathe-taking scene ever caught on film) [stupid Warner Brothers removed the audio from all the good videos, so here's the scene, incomplete. Please go and rent this movie!]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3oHmVhviO8

2001: A Space Odyssey - Discovery of the Tool

Dr. Strangelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb - Call to Russia (hilarious scene from the funniest political satire of the century)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWP_rEWG2xk

I know! I love Stanley Kubrick.

[Lokasenna]

What an excellent thread!

This clip is from one of my favourite films, The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r9W-FjyYss

To give it some context, its set in East Germany in the 80s. Wiesler is a cold, inhuman Stasi agent who is ordered to observe a playwright named Dreyman, who is suspected of pro-Western sympathies. As he observes Dreyman and his artistic friends, he comes to empathise with them. In this scene, a director named Jerska has killed himself after his films were blacklisted by the government, and Dreyman plays some music that he gave him when they last met. Although the Youtube quality is not good, the single tear that roles down Wiesler's face is one of the most emotional things I have ever seen.

If you haven't seen it, then I implore you to watch it!

[Lulim]

^ ... and Ulrich Mühe has been a really great actor who died much too young.

[Mathor]

Since DanielBenoit did not list my favorite 2001 clips, here it is. One of the greatest moments in any movie. Start watching the clip at 6:30

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQbvqvPZZHA&feature=related

[DanielBenoit]

^omg yes!

There's also the first appearence of the monolith at the begining, but that scene is so effectively shocking that I heisitate to post it and leave it in the context of the film.

Here's an excellent montage of Kubrick's films

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6RzJFwDE_8&feature=fvst

and Lynch's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAj7SvktAEQ&feature=fvst

also, here's a hilarious montage of Hitchcock's cameos, set to Mozart's Requiem :lol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY-lJXCkw_U

[Mathor]

also this scene is probably my second favorite:

Easily the greatest director still living, Martin Scorsese

[DanielBenoit]

Martin Scorsese is such a free-spirit!

Raging Bull - Wall Beating Scene
(possibly the most powerful moment in all of cinema SPOILERS)

I know, I know, I keep on making sweeping statements like "the greatest scene. . . .", but I just can't help myself when it comes to Kubrick or Scorsese. :redface:

You forgot this one. Kubrick was a marvellous director but what great acting also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHp5HfA5hIA

[Emil Miller]

I was so taken up with Kubrick that I forgot to post a clip from my second favourite film which is a veritable time capsule in its minutely realised depiction of England in 1945. As far as I am concerned, the final scene is the most moving in all cinematic history and so famous has the film become that a special information office has been set up at the station where it was filmed. Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard give the two of the greatest screen performances ever, but every single one of the cast are absolutely perfect in David Lean's masterpiece.

I haven't looked at the others yet but this one is great. I always love looking for him in his films. I like best ones where he appears in newspapers or photos...that one in Dial M for Murder was especially creative I thought. I also loved the one where he is in the clothing add. What a funny clever man he was.

[DanielBenoit]

Hear, hear!

Idk why people criticized the end of the film with Brando, it was phenomenal and perfect.

[NickAdams]

Hear, hear!

I agree. I thought Brando's performance was the only one that resembled the tone of the film ... and Robert Duvall. I still haven't seen the non-redux though.

[Emil Miller]

I remember leaving the cinema after watching this film and walking for a long time just turning it over in my mind. Definitely one of my top ten.

Funny, I've never, ever heard of it. By the looks of it I must see it.

The Hotel Scene from Godard's Breathless - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHQ2Q-_bl8k

[Emil Miller]

Funny, I've never, ever heard of it. By the looks of it I must see it.

The Hotel Scene from Godard's Breathless - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHQ2Q-_bl8k

Ashes and Diamonds is the 3rd part of a trilogy of films by Andrzej Wajda about the Polish resistance against German occupation and the struggle between the anti-communist and communist factions immediately after Russian forces occupied the country.
I first saw Breathless when it came out as part of the French new wave cinema.It made quite an impact in the UK; as did The 400 Blows which came out about the same time. I remember that Jean Seberg died in mysterious circumstances in Paris.She is buried in the Montparnasse cemetery which I have spent a good deal of time in due to the number of famous people buried there.

Probably the most famous and influencial scene of all time. And certainly one of the most powerful and artistic. From Battleship Potemkin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps-v-kZzfec

[Emil Miller]

These are scene's from Stanley Kubrick's version of Lolita.
despite its faults, it is a particular favourite of mine.
The critique is also very good.


http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/07/26/movies/1247468048570/critics-picks-lolita.html

[Emil Miller]

Here is the trailer to one of the best flying films ever made. The aerial dog fights are spectacular and the storyline is also very good. Jeremy Kemp's performance was especially memorable.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efc6Y6LCuuc

[Armel P]

A little bit of "Street of Crocodiles" by the Brothers Quay. You really can't describe it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6xG4Nf9Dh4

[Emil Miller]

This was originally a stage play, and Robert Aldrich made a fine job of bringing
it to the screen. There is first class acting all round and Jack Palance gives a great performance, as do Lee Marvin and Eddie Albert. Unfortunately there aren't any scenes other than this trailer but you can see the quality.

[prendrelemick]

The "Stop Dave, I'm afraid," scene in 2001 A Space Odyssey. Absolutely brilliant.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukeHdiszZmE

[Emil Miller]

This is part of a terrific and absolutely gripping spy film starring James Mason. It's based on a true story and directed by the great Joseph L. Mankiewicz. The British title of the film is Five Fingers and the twist at the end is brilliant.
