Memorable Movie Images
 

Ok, inspired in the Video Images thread...

What movies moments are instantly recognizable the moment you see them ?and/or come to mind when you think of an artist ??? Not necessarily musical moments, mine would be:

John Travolta & Uma dancing in Pulp Fiction
John Travolta dancing YSBD in Saturday Night Fever
Catwoman kissing Batman in Batman 2
Indiana Jones shooting the sword man in Raiders of the lost ark
Indiana Jones looking for his gun when the 2 sword men attack him in Temple of Doom
Donna Summer singing Last Dance in Thank's God it's Friday (a silly movie but I love the song)
Scarlett O'hara wearing red at Ashley's birthday in Gone with the Wind (Am I too old??)
Janet Leigh at the shower, PSYCHO!!
Drew Barrymore screaming when she meets E.T.

Sara Goldfarb trying on the Red Dress and twirling around her apartment - Requiem For A Dream
Sara Goldfarb running down the street in nomal time while passersby move around her in doubletime - Requiem For A Dream
Marion screaming in the bathtub - Requiem For A Dream

ddfoa][d I love that movie.

Gloria Swanson walking down those stairs while deranged in the final scene of Sunset Blvd. Ditto for her speech while watching herself in Queen Kelly - "I'll be up there again one day" and then she turns into the light of the projector exposing her once famous but long forgotten profile. I LOVE HER!!!!!!

Faye Dunaway in just about all of Mommie Dearest esp. "WHY CAN'T YOU GIVE ME THE RESPECT THAT I AM ENTITLED TO - WHY CAN'T YOU TREAT ME LIKE I WOULD TREATED BY ANY STRANGER ON THE STREET . . . . "

The boom shot of Clark Gable at the bottom of the stairs in his fiest scene (at Twelve Oaks) in Gone with the Wind. Ditto for Scarlett's "I'll NEVAH go hungry again" speech.

:cool:

Just about any scene in Rushmore. Every scene of that movie was brilliantly shot.

Also the last scene of Lost in Translation--very moving.

:shocked: I thought I was the only Requiem fanatic! Read the book yet? It's divine.

As for memorable images, let's see...

Pam Grier on the conveyer belt in the airport in "Jackie Brown."

Faye Dunaway in "Network" in every scene where she screams. :lol:

Isablla Rossellini singing at the lounge in "Blue Velvet." Also, Dennis Hopper with his oxygen mask.

Marilyn Burns running through the woods in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

The raining frogs in "Magnolia."

Tim Curry in fishnets in "Rocky Horror."

Heather #1 drinking Drain-O in "Heathers."

Just what does he whisper, dammit?! :laugh:

My list
 

Rick and Ilsa at the airport- "Casablanca"

Catherine running out in the rain screaming "Heathcliff!"- "Wuthering Heights"

When Richard Kimble screams "I didn't kill my wife!"- "The Fugitive"

The kitchen dancing scene- "The Big Chill"

I read the book last year. It took me a while to get used to the way it was written, but once I got the hang of it, I couldn't put it down. They're both equally amazing, IMO.

I know, but then if we knew that, the scene wouldn't have been as memorable! Damn conundrums! :laugh:

One of my fav.'s ever!!!!!

Cool!
 

Dude! Seriously...I LOVE Parenthood lol....that scene is so funny as is the "flashlight" or "electric ear cleaner" scene!

My favorites from that movie though are when Diane Wiest is looking at the pictures that were actually Julies and then Julie says, "well, I thought someone in this house outta be having sex, at least with something that doesn't require batteries!" or something like that...that movie is awesome...

Tom Hanks and Robert Loggia playing the floor piano thing in Big.

The prom scene in Carrie.

Dirty Dancing: "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." Stupid line, but I LOVE Patrick Swayze.

That's all I can think of right now....

Diane is brilliant, particularly in that scene. I love "Oh, I think this one is my favorite!" and "Gee whiz, there are so many things that bother me about this I don't know where to begin."
I also love Martha Plimpton's line: "I wouldn't move in with you if the world were flooded with piss and you lived in a tree!" :lol:
