1 Down

and 7 more to go. Really fun show last night. I was a 7/10 and will be better tonight and beyond. Chris White and Adam Ferrara were both great last night as well. The point here is that people should see this show.

Was bantering with my special lady friend evening last. The discussion was over the greatest scenes in movie history. I came up with a really quick list but would love to receive input from peeps. The movie itself doesn't have to be awesome but it usually helps for a scene to realize its tightness. In no particular order, here they be:

-Godfather: The closing scene where Pacino lets Kate ask him about the business, then it pans back and the dudes roll up and kiss his ring. Just so tight

-Top Gun: She's Lost that Loving Feeling. Mint

-Heat: Deniro and Pacino having coffee. The whole time you're going: "I can't believe these guys are in the same scene..."

Star Wars: Its quick, but Luke standing and looking at the two suns of Tatooine setting. Chills everytime.

Empire Strikes Back: Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite..."I love you" - "I know". Wow

The Silence of the Lambs: Tie between Hannibal meeting Clarice for the first time and when she tells him why she ran away. Awesome

Shawshank Redemption: Tie between when Andy Dufresne asks Byron Hadley, "Do you trust your wife" and they end up drinking beers on the roof and Andy's escape.

Full Metal Jacket: the opening scene where the drill sergeant takes all the recruits to task in the barracks.

Pulp Fiction: Starting from when Travolta and Samuel L are talking about foot massages and then they go into Brad's place and kill everyone.

Raider's of the Lost Ark: The opening of the ark is pretty tight but I actually prefer the little face-off right before where Indy has the rocket pointed at it and can't destroy it...

The Shining: when the wife discovers the "All work and no play makes Jack a dully boy". mint

2001 A Space Odyssey: The end when they communicate with the ship with music.

Braveheart: The execution scene. Amazing

The 6th Sense: when the kid gets up in the middle of the night to make pee pee. Wow

and last but certainly not least:

Taxi Driver: "Are you talkin' to me?"

That was off the top of my head. Suggestions are welcome. Out.

1) Heat - I think the bank robbery scene is the best scene in the movie

2) Opening battle in Saving Private Ryan

3) Adam Goldberg's death by stabbing in Saving Private Ryan (not "awesome" but so intense)

4) TC and Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men

How about the end of The Usual Suspects when Kevin Spacey's walk straightens out?

The end of the Maltese Falcon where he sends Mary Astor up the river ... right up to her getting on the elevator and the shadows on her face looking like prison bars.

There are also about a million Jackie Chan sequences (or the chase from Ong-Bak) that show astonishing physicality and ingenuity. The fighting at the end of "Legend of Drunk Master" is pretty sick ...

And I hate to admit it, but in School of Rock, when they perform at the big contest, I was totally amped. Just an awesome moment that paid off the whole movie.
