this ending is one of the most omnious scenes i think portrayed in film; the absolutely random events leading up to the deaths of 26 million people allows you to arrive at only one conclusion and that is our lives are ultimately out of our control. the music is especially fitting. cliff martinez knew exactly what music the film needed and this particular track in the end sequence sets the tone perfectly.
I hate threads like this because my mind always goes fucking blank or I can only recall the most typical shit like "the tears in the rain scene from Blade Runner".
Mason Torres
gary oldman is fucking good in this scene
Alexander Kelly
holy fuck this happens to me all the time.
when it comes the time to actually think of 'favorite x' i draw a blank and shoot towards the nearest obvious fucking answer.
Dominic Moore
AAAAH SHIT
Cooper Sanders
same here. i watched contagion recently and it was still fresh in my mind so i figured i make a thread about it.
Amazing Dialogue Emphasis on the ineptness of the Jewelers
"Yeah Tyrone, what have you done?"
Elijah Walker
Snatch is a fucking excellent exception where 90% of its dialogue doesn't advance the plot or do anything to develop the characters and yet it's still so thoroughly entertaining. It's just that well written.
Gabriel Sanders
>China You guys have never worked in a kitchen before have you?
Adrian Adams
nope. is this a common occurrence of chefs not washing their hands?
common occurrence of people not being as clean or proper as you would expect
"Employees must wash hands"
Pretty gross that you need to remind people that work with food that they need to wash their hands after using the bathroom right? Like its been enough of an issue enough times that its almost a standard to have that printed somewhere in the bathrooms
Jayden Martinez
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the opening scene, it's haunting, whole apes plot aside and of course not being as realistic as Contagion it's still terrifying to think human civilization could actually end so easily.
Or any sort of element with "shit" thrown after it.
Charles Rogers
the fire scene with the police station scene really got me
Aiden Martinez
>millions of chinks dying is bad
Luke Ramirez
The one shot scenes from Children of Men like the car chase and the battle between the army and rebels while Theo searches for Kee. Beyond being impressive on a camera-work perspective, it was also how tense they were, and the ending of the battle when everyone gets a holy experience listening to the baby's cries and pauses the battle was pure kino.
Landon Baker
i always remember that kino
Henry Scott
I thought the photography gave the film a serious clincal tone. It dealt heavily with the medical and science of things and the the visuals complemented that and helped to convey that. I also felt like it was supposed to indicate a sense of detachment to purport the sense of social isolation and distrust among the public and ultimately dealing with an existential threat like a virus.
Xavier Adams
One of my favourite movies. You don't see craftsmanship like that in post 2010 movies. Children of men is always an immersive and exhilarating experience.
Landon Jones
I like this scene because its sort of like the cliche big speech at the end of a long war story with talk of brotherhood and bravery and such. Except instead of it being delivered by a fellow soldier its delivered by the German general and even though they were enemies just a short while ago, everything the general is as meaningful to the men of easy company as it is to the german troops.
Works best in the context of the movie of course, but you could watch it on mute and still enjoy it. Gordon Willis is the man.
Vienna sewers in The Third Man. All of The Third Man honestly, they literally filmed a movie about the moral rot a desperate situation can force/enable in humans in the ruins of a great city destroyed by the most catastrophic conflict in human history. Absolutely singular.
And that one scene in Singin' in the Rain with the girl with the really long scarf blowing in the wind. So much made from so little.
Oh, and I just watched Blade Runner: The Final Cut, so to pick just one, probably the scene where Deckard tells Rachel all her memories are lies. Fucking brutal. It doesn't really stand out visually like these others but that's only because the movie's gorgeous all the way through. Futuristic Frank Lloyd Wright apartment, the costumes, the lighting, fuck yes.
Flight of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now of course, nothing like it in cinema.
Chinatown ending, Polanski isn't flashy but he's damn good.
And the ending of Once Upon A Time in the West. Sad Claudia Cardinale and probably the prettiest movie music ever recorded.
That's what's coming to mind, anyway
Tyler Anderson

Alexander Sanchez
Dags?
Henry Bennett
I have always loved this scene. I think both actors are absolutely phenomenal but the back and forth is so believable and memorable. The way Faye Dunaway goes to the kitchen and tries to pour a cup of tea but she can't keep the dish from clattering against the cup is one of my favorite emotional moments in any movie and then the way she just tears into him and they just start going at each other is great, before finally Max lays down the gauntlet and shows this shrill bitch for who she really is
Honestly, it's insane that places like India, China, Indonesia and Africa haven't already succumbed to a new sort of disease. What we regard as common sense is non-existent over there.
I will never forget being in Indonesia, the toilet in my hotel overflowed and this cleaner just came in barefoot, standing in sewage from all connected rooms and wiped with a mop that I'm sure she used on the kitchen floor later that day. We left the hotel and returned to Singapore the same day, there was little charm among those animals. I'm well traveled because of my job, and I'm always glad to return to Europe or stay in America. Traveling the world will make you a racist, because you see how these people exist.
John Clark
>never heard of congestive heart failure before this movie >walk out, check phone, 10 missed calls from my dad >call my dad back >he said my grandmother was just hospitalized with congestive heart failure and I could have seen her if I kept my phone on Oh well, the movie was probably more entertaining anyway
Brayden Wright
so many scenes from this series
Josiah Edwards
oh I forgot to mention she died in the hospital
Ryder Edwards
sorry to hear that user
Jack Bailey
It's cool, she was 94 anyway and was riddled with dementia and paranoid schizophrenia. It was kind of a relief
Nah, I didn't get shit, it all went to my grandfather
Jacob Ramirez
forgot to explain, its the lighting
Eli Brown
That film has a handfull of great character-driven scenes, but the music and lighting there is top knotch.
Luke Powell
looking back over these and five of them prominently feature very sad women. the other two are a musical and a war movie. guess that's just the mood I'm in.
hmmmm
Asher Wilson
youtube.com/watch?v=e8dFK5nI1YA I like how it doesnt waste any time but you still see his whole travel. Also, funny mobie hehe.
Gavin Morales
Very clever visual storytelling. Edgar wright is a smart director
Jaxon Williams
Lawrence was a scumbag and is responsible for all the bullshit that the middle-east is going through now.
