The best movie scene for me was from a lesser-known B-movie that used to be shown in the early days of Sky Movies in the UK. It was called "Big Man on Campus". The whole movie ridiculous, yet enjoyable at the same time. Picture the scene; a hunchback has been found roamin the university campus and has been captured. The captors wish to educate the hunchback and teach him to talk. In one of these hilarious therapy sessions, we see the 'monster' being introduced to a ball. "Baaaaalll" repeats the monster. "Bounce Ball" instructs and demonstrates the teacher. "Booouunnccee Baaallll" repeats the monster, and does indeed bounce the ball. "Banana" demonstrates the instructor as he produces a banana from the box labelled "B". "Baaanaaanaaa" repeats the monster, followed by a sudden "Bounce Baanaanaa" as he tries to bounce the fruit on the floor, much to the instructor's dismay. Trivial, basic humour and not exactly movie heaven but fantastic all the same. That movie brings back warm memories! |

One flew over the cuckoos nest: so many scenes are great in this movie but I particularly enjoy the many silent scenes filled with sober gestures. J.N. was amazing in that film. Also, Anthony Hopkins played a blinding Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs, a solid performance of chilling proportions. |
| My favourite movie scene might be in Jaws too, when they're sitting around the table at night below deck on Quint's boat. They go through a range of emotions from talking seriously about injuries and scars to humour, when Hooper says he had a scar from his heart being broken by a girl. Then the mood changes again when Quint talks about his tattoo from the Indianapolis and so many men dying when it sank. (I think that's the name of the ship isnt it?). Then if I'm remembering the right order, they start singing "Show Me The Way To Go Home" again to lighten the mood before the shark rams the side of the boat... the rest as they say |
| The dinner scene in "The Birdcage". I'm assuming there were at least a thousand takes done to get this scene right, because I don't know how Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane and Calista Flockhart pulled off all their hilarious lines with straight faces (pun most assuredly intended). |

From One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest: Dr. Spivey: It said you've been belligerent, talked when unauthorized, been resentful in attitude toward work in general, that you're lazy... McMurphy: Chewin' gum in class, ha, ha...? Dr. Spivey: Well, the real reason that you've been sent over here is because they wanted you to be evaluated... to determine whether or not you are mentally ill. This is the real reason. McMurphy: Well, as near as I can figure out, it's 'cause I, uh, fight and f-ck too much. Dr. Spivey: Well, you've had five prior arrests for assault. McMurphy: Five fights, huh? Rocky Marciano's got forty and he's a millionaire |
| An unlucky man walks across a piazza and birds poop on him and this occurs where ever he goes. It was in a 1960's Italian film the name of which I can't remember. Perhaps Marcello Mastrioanni or Vitorio Gasmann played the part. Does any one know the name of the movie? |
