And I'm not talking about when the lights go down and your current squeeze puts their hand on your thigh.

I'll start us off. I'll limit it to five scenes as I have so many as I watch about 20 films a month. So, five scenes per post (not per poster.)

Off the top of my nogin and in no order of preferance-

1. The end of Annie Hall where he tries to recreate the moment that the lobsters escaped.

2. The end of In the Mood for Love when he whispers his secret into the tree in Cambodia.

3. The campfire scene in My Own Private Idaho when Mike says 'I just love you man.'

4. The first Moloko Bar scene from A Clockwork Orange.

5. The Chicken scene from Devil's Rejects.

Damn I'm going to break my 5 scene rule. Well, it's my Op...

6. The end of Brokeback Mountain when he whispers 'Damn Jack...'

7. 'Ahm ya huckleberry, that's juss mah game' from Tombstone.

Ah there are too many so I'll not hog the thread and I'll hand it over to y'all.....

Oh, In the Mood For Love! I LOVE that movie.

Okay, here's my list for now (in no particular order):

* Schindler's List: The final scene where the real Holocaust survivors put down the rocks. I was crying like a baby.

* Cinema Paradiso: When the young guy waits and waits in the rain for the girl he loves, and she finally comes out, and they kiss. Swoon~worthy.

* Some Kind of Wonderful: The end where Eric Stoltz runs after Mary Stuart Masterson and gives her the earrings. John Hughes, R.I.P.

* Say Anything: The whole awkward yet brilliant Lloyd Dobbler dinnertime speech, "I don't want to sell anything processed..."

* Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: Again, the end, when Jim Carrey tells Kate Winslet that he doesn't care about their past; he still wants to be with her.

* Terms of Endearment: Debra Winger's final conversation with her two sons as she's dying of cancer. It's a heart-shredder.

* The Usual Suspects: Again, the last scene. I'll just leave it at that.

* Pulp Fiction: The whole episode with the needle.

* Lucas: Corey Haim finally gets the varsity jacket.

* Lace (actually an old mini-series): Phoebe Cates spits out, "Which one of you bitches is my mother?" Classic line.

Another from the same film - Dennis Hopper's rant to Willard in Kurtz's complex.

'You can't go to space... You can't land on the moon, man...' (not exact.)

Ah, thinking of Hopper - The Easy Rider Scene where George says he'll join them on the trip and they ask him if he has a helmet.

George 'Oh, I gotta a helmet!'

Cut to next scene of him sitting on back of bike grinning like the adjoishi who got the burned rice, wearing an amereican football helmet....

BIG SPOILER--don't watch if you ever want to see the film first:
The last scenes of Cinema Paradiso, my all-time favorite movie.

tek75, I think he waited for her 99 days?

Une chien Analour- Luis Bunuel and Dali, The Film the shocked the world and incited riots in Paris. The Film starts with Bunuel sharpening a straight
razor and looking at a cloud slitting through the moon. The scene is immediatly switched to a young Lady. Then Bunuel uses a straight razor and slices open her eye.

Le Age d Ore- Jesus is seen leaving the scene of an Orgy holding his groin in pain.

Planet of the Apes- Charlton Heston reaches the remnants of the statue of liberty and learns that he has not landed on a distant planet but travelled forward in time. To discover humanities doom.

Behind the Green Door :Staring Marylin Chambers

If you are ever in Toronto check out the posters on the street. There's a place on Bathearst and College known as the "Cineforum", run by a guy called "Reg Hartt". The place has a dingy Charles Bukowski feel. Reg has a huge collection of films. He does lectures before the films and he usually freaks out. This place is awesome.
