Classic sunset scenes
 

Dear forum,

I'm currently undertaking a audio visual composition based on the theme of a sunset and I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of some classic film sunsets scenes? I don't mind what the films are about only that they have a poignant sunset scene in them. If you have any suggestions of films to check out that would great!

Thanks in advance.

Hey, why the hell won't it let me keep "THX" in all caps?

To keep people from posting something like that. ;)

not "classics" but i seem to remember these:

T2
Blade 2
Beavis & Butt-head do america

One of the most memorable images in all of movie-history:

Scarlett standing silhouetted against the sunset as the first half of <i>Gone With The Wind</i> ends.

The end of The Green Berets, where John Wayne is talking to Hamchunk.

That might as well have been written in Sanskrit for all the insight it's provided me...

The forum won't let you post a message in all caps. Since all you posted was THX, it left the first letter a capital, and changed the rest to lowercase. There are ways to bypass it though, as I was trying to show you above.

Ah, how deliciously inventive (and obtuse) of me...thanks!

The forum hasn't always had this restriction, right?

The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Pitch Black

that's the first thing that came to mind. Although I honestly can't remember if it's a sunset or a sunrise.

There are a couple of poignant scenes in a small film called "The Whole Wide World" with Renee Zellwegger and Vincent D'Onofrio. One is near the end - check it out.

Leave Her to Heaven

I'm not sure if the "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" scene in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid features a sunset, but that's the way I remember it.

there's a nice one in two towers.

Running Scared with Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines

Jaws- openig sequence
Once Upon a time in mexico...depp driving with 3rd arm out the window

near the end of Interview with the Vampire when Louie talks about how movies allow him to see the sun again. great scene.

Tony talking over the phone with Omar after the Colombian ordeal with a nice sunset in the background.

Again telling Elvira to get her things he looks up at the twilight of Miami with a blimp with the words "The World Is Yours" floating by.
