Good scenes in bad movies

I remembering watching the movie Malice and not liking the movie. However, I loved the god complex speech by Alec Baldwin in that movie. It's a shame that wasn't in a better movie. What movies have you seen where you thought " That sucked but that one seen was great" ?

I loved that they killed billions of aliens by blowing up their homeworld in "Battlefield Earth". That scene was cool.

the first half of Godzilla before you see him, everything leading up to seeing him is excellent

I hated "Kids" very much so, and i wanted to like it. But upon watching it I culdn't even try. But I did think the cab scene was a stand out scene. I don't even remember what happened in the scene, but I remember being relieved by it. Haha.

Magneto moving the Golden Gate Bridge in X3. I was rolling my eyes for most of the movie, but that scene got me to say the word "cool," out loud.

Similar to Godzilla, I feel the suspense leading up to the appearance of Kong in the 1976 version is very well paced, especially with the ceremony/sacrifice and him being glimpsed as he crashes through the woods. However, once that part is over the movie does a big backslide.

I've always felt Ali with Will Smith was a bore, but the last twenty something minutes of the Rumble in the Jungle are so mesmerizing with the music and cinematography that it almost seems to belong in another movie.

Most of these movies aren't bad they just don't live up to their best scenes:

The Nightcrawler scene in X-Men 2
The Freeway Chase scene in Matrix Reloaded
The fight scene between Obi and Ani in Revenge of the Sith
The airplane hangar shootout in Face/Off
The end shootout in Open Range

I hate to admit it, but I think the scene from Grease 2 with Maxwell Caufield tutoring Michelle Pfieffer about her Hamlet paper is actually a good scene. It's still a little cheesy but I think the interaction between the two of them is very natural there and helps add to the characters. That's the one scene in the movie where you kind of see that she feels she could fall for him but doesn't want to because of what her friends would think. That adds a lot more depth than what I would ever thought would have been in that movie. Any time that movie pops into my head its always that scene. Might be because the rest of it sucks, but maybe that's just me.

I actually enjoy the end shootout in Way of the Gun, I think it's one of the best but yeah only a so-so movie.

The spider pit seen in Peter Jackson's King Kong.


God the rest of that movie was a snooze fest.
