Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (2006)

In my opinion, this was Captain Jack Sparrow’s finest moment. It would have been good if they hadn’t brought him back for the third film but coin coffers need filling so I guess they had no choice.

Johnny Depp, of course, plays the role superbly, and I love the nonchalant way he faces the Kraken in the final scene of Dead Man’s Chest. “Hello beastie!”. Yet, he still manages to pull off a wonderfully grandiose attacking pose as the film goes into slow motion. Excellent scene, topped off nicely by Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) at the end.

Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)

Possibly one of the most perfectly scariest scenes ever, especially if you imagine being in Ofelia’s shoes at the time, who has to get past the Pale Man to find some key or something to progress through Pan’s Labyrinth. Unfortunately, having been trekking for quite some time now, the poor child’s hunger takes over, and before she leaves she can’t help but take just a tiny bit of the fruit on the Pale Man’s table… which really wasn’t a good idea…

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.
