Fight Club (1999)

There are probably a few “scene perfect” moments in Fight Club which I will end up posting, but I will start with this one. Edward Norton (The Narrator / Tyler Durden), decides he’s had enough of his job, and at the same time realises how he can get his other project, Fight Club, funded for a long time…

I particularly love scenes where you get an ordinary person in a very ordinary situation faced with someone who is obviously on a completely different wavelength. The boss, played here by Zach Grenier, has absolutely no idea what’s going on when Norton starts going off on one, and you can completley understand his utter astonishment and amazement when the action really kicks off.

Taxi Driver (1976)

Martin Scorsese gave Robert De Niro the opportunity to play a fantastic part as psychopath Travis Bickle in this dark urban thriller. In this scene, he’s psyching himself up and getting ready for his series of kills.

True Romance (1993)

This clip is a long one but then again most scenes featuring Christopher Walken usually are. In this one he plays a Sicilian mafiosa, Vincenzo Coccotti, trying to extract information from retired police officer Clifford Worley (Dennis Hopper) regarding the wherabouts of Worley’s Son, Clarence. Clarence screwed over the mafia by messing up a big cocaine deal and making off with the money and the drugs, but Worley simply won’t tell the mafia where his son is. Worley knows he won’t survive this situation anyway, so decides to make it quick for himself by extremely pissing Coccotti off with an interesting story about the history of Sicilians.

All these moments will be lost in time…

Blade Runner (1982)

The incredible moment of Roy Batty’s retribution, played wonderfully by Rutger Hauer. Just as you think he is about to finish off the battered and hanging Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), he saves the blade runner’s life and sits down to give a sublime and legendary farewell ode to life. The lines were completely unscripted, and probably weren’t supposed to make much sense, but the words always conjure up magical images for me, mixed with heartfelt pain at the truth of them.

One of the most touching moments in any war movie… Platoon (1986): Thinking that Sgt. Elias Grodin (Willem Dafoe) had already been killed in action, the platoon took off in their choppers with whoever they could manage to rescue in time. As they fly away, numerous enemy soldiers are seen chasing a lone figure, who turns out to be Sgt. Elias. In a rare moment of complete despair, Sgt. Elias reaches for the helicopter as it flies overhead, knowing the bullets riddling his body will never allow him to leave the vietnamese jungle. Sgt. Bob Barnes (Tom Berenger), who had left Sgt. Elias for dead during an earlier personal clash, overlooks the execution with a cold eye.

With Barber’s Adagio for Strings mounting steadily in the background, this one will definitely jerk a few tears.

The Sopranos (1999-2007)

I reckon this is the best ending to any series ever. Excellent build up, excellent backing track, perfect filming. And what a great story it was. Thanks for the memories.
