 Hi all,

Since it's the silly season I thought I would start a new Thread.

One of my favorite was a scene from Apocalypse Now(1979)

 

Smell that? You smell that?
/name/nm0098734/ - Lance : What?
/name/nm0000380/ - Kilgore : Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
[kneels]
/name/nm0000380/ - Kilgore : I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like
[sniffing, pondering]
/name/nm0000380/ - Kilgore : victory. Someday this war's gonna end...

Class Thread young Gerard !

Several favourites but the Russian Roulette scene in The Deerhunter in the Prison Camp is one of my favourites.

From De Niro encouraging a petrified John Savage to pull the trigger to his insisting that the Vietnamese commander put extra bullets in the gun before he goes in against Christopher Walken..........

Love it.

The diner scene from Pulp Fiction with Tim Roth and Samuel L Jackson.......( and the scene with Ving Rhames and Bruce Willis but probable best not to mention that   ), the scene in The Godfather where Enzo the baker stands outside the hospital pretending he has a gun,the " Funny..........how am I funny " scene with Joe Pesci in Goodfellas............

Could go on forever with this topic.

She kills one of the  Clemen Brothers( Jack Elam he's the guy with the 2 blue eyes,,, one blew here and one blew there 

Anyway they are standing over his grave and one them says, say a few prayers for Frank...................

Every scene from the Life of Brian, but particularly "Romanus eunt domus?" bit and the writing it out hundreds of times - I'm just laughing aloud all on my own  in the kitchen thinking as I type. Funny funny funny

Or the stuttering and non pronunciation of r's. I watched that film years ago with three pals - one who had a stutter and dodgy r's, the other who had an awful lisp. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Not a huge movie/fillum fan, but that is pure genius - "How shall we be individuals", "Are there any women here?", "The People's front of Judea? Splitters", "what, other than.....have the Romas ever done for us" and on and on and on

There are so many....but I think this one is my fav.....one for the girlies.....Not actually a film but hey
 
The scene in BBC's Pride and Prejudice  where Darcy (Colin Firth) bumps into Elizabeth (Jennifer Ehle) when he's dripping wet after his swim in the lake. This scene is priceless, her mortification abotu being caught on his land and his at being caught soaking wet.
 
Sigh...must dig out DVD and watch it again.
