Wow, that is actually a good list.

Pretty good list.

Did you add the "?" to some of them? or was it there?

Uhhhh, what? Who?

Yeah, that scene from Gladiator was definately better than those scenes from City Lights and Grand Illusion.
MY GOD-eek-

For a lot of these they get the movie right, but the wrong moment. The kiss at the end is not the best moment in Breakfast at Tiffanies. The "running down the freeway" scene isn't the best scene in Body Snatchers. Beast's Redemption in Cocteu's Beaty and the Beast is not the best scene, in fact it's the worst.

I could go on. There are also a far disproportionate amount of American films on there, and WHAT THE HELL is Gangs Of New York doin' in there?

I am REALLY surprised to see the bathtub scene from Les Diaboliks above the shower scene from Psycho...and I'm also surprised to see Persona so high...WOW

I dunno...I'd have put "Frankly My Dear..." a little bit higher...somewhere in the Top Ten even.

nope, they were already there (got from dvdfile.com)

I completely agree with the no.1 choice.

Um...excuse me...doesn't anyone remember Ringo Starr falling into dinosaur crap in Caveman? What kind of list is this?!?

The <b>Ride of the Valkyries</b> scene is better.

Re: Primiere Magazines top 100 movie moments of all time
 

Grace Kelly wasnt in Vertigo......

that was Kim Novak

Wheres scarface?

Wanna play rough. Say hello to my little friend.

Re: Primiere Magazines top 100 movie moments of all time
 

Oh come on! That's like the cheesiest part of the whole damned movie. How about Mellish getting knifed?

I would say more the Royal with Cheese dialogue.

Best damned moment in the whole movie.

Bull! Cornfield scene.

Appearance of Harry Lime

That, or Omar Sharif's entrance.

Hmm... I would say Michael "forgiving" Fredo at their mother's funeral. That scene brought me to tears.

Re: Primiere Magazines top 100 movie moments of all time
 

:up: yayyyyy!

95) Pulp Fiction (1994) - The insulin shot.

Err...that was adrenalin, not insulin.

Also: 73) Blue Velvet (1986) - Karaoke


Technically, that was lip-synching, not Karaoke. ;)

And nothing from any Star Trek movie? Come on. Surely Kirk's "Khhhaaannn!!!" scene is one of the greatest moments in cinema.

What a joke that list is. Did anyone do any research before they compiled it? It's loaded with errors and some of the scenes they pick made me scratch my head.


Annie Hall - Woody Allen pulls in guy to defend Fellini

It was Marshall McLuhan!!

Casablanca - Ilsa comes back to bar

Hmmm.... a good scene but in a movie full of terrific scenes why this one? Why not the ending on the runway?

"I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."

Pacino and DeNiro in Heat. SWEET!!! :thumbsup:

Re: Primiere Magazines top 100 movie moments of all time
 

Grace Kelly wasn't in Vertigo, it's an adrenaline shot in Pulp Fiction, and the Line in Sunset Blvd. is "All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up." You would think a list like this would get Cecil B. DeMille's name right, but you'd think a list like this would include something from DeMille's filmography. How's about the parting of the Red Sea in the Ten Commandments?

:lol:

The Searchers -- starring John Wayne as Main Guy. With Jeffrey Hunter as Other Guy and Natalie Wood as That Chick.

Classic!

Where is The Shawshank Redemption - Andy's escape?

Surely that was a much better moment than Saving Ryan's Privates "Earn This" line.

what no, "No wire hangers" from Mommie Dearest

what about?

Any Given Sunday "Inches" speech
Dog Day Afternoon "ATTICA!"
The Shawshank Redemption Andy in the Rain
Rain Man Charlie teaches Raymond how to dance
Batman "Who are you?" "I'm Batman"
Se7en "What's in the box?!?"
Alien Chest-busting
Requiem for a Dream Harry calls Marion
The Candidate McKay self-mocking in the car, and breaking up at the TV studio
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington "Well, I'm not licked!"
Unforgiven William Munny faces Little Bill
Back to the Future George decks Biff
Igby Goes Down Igby breaks down at the door
Woodstock "Breakfast in Bed"
Terminator 2 "Hasta la Vista, Baby" *BAM*
The Bicycle Thief The rain storm
The Royal Tenenbaums Ritchie shaves
Raiders of the Lost Ark Indy shoots a swordsman
Dazed and Confused "Tuesday's Gone"
Chasing Amy "I love you...and not in a friendly way"
Magnolia "Wise Up"
Vanilla Sky Times Square

and on, and on, and on...

but i do think it's a pretty good list.

That IS on the list.

The line I always remember from Batman is when the Joker asks "Where does he get all those marvelous toys?"

In terms of "Jaws" the emergence of is THE scene from the movie. I would have loved to seen this movie in a packed theatre.
