Most people do a Five on Friday but I decided to do it on Wednesday so deal with it. I saw an article in FHM about the 25 greatest scenes in movie history. So I decided to do my top 5 scenes in my top 5 movies. Now I know I'm going to overlook something but hey I can't remember everthing.
5. "You talking to me" - Taxi Driver. This is the line that De Niro fans constantly fuck up. "You talking to me? You talking to me? You talking to me? Then who the hell else are you talking to? You talking to me? Well, I'm the only one here." If you havn't seen this movie yet I feel for you. It is definetly a classic. De Niro's character Travis Bickle is an insomniac who becomes a taxi driver because he can't sleep at night. He then spirals down into his own personal hell, wanting to rid society of all the evil in it. Jodi Foster becomes his love interest even though she is a 14 yr old hooker. Oh and scene that makes me chuckle a lil bit is when he takes Cybil Sheppard (who looks hot as hell) to a porn theater on their first date. I don't think it was there for comedic effect, but to show you how fucked up he was.
4. "So I got that going for me, which is nice." - Caddyshack. Carl the grounds keeper utters this famous line when he has that kid against the wall with that sharp tool talking about when he was a looper for the Dali Lama. Oh and one of my favorite one liners by Rodney Dangerfield is when their at that ball and he asks Judge Smails wife if she wants to "make $14 the hard way". And who can forget the Babe Ruth in the pool, or "doodie" as it is thought to be. Damn this movie is funny w/Chevy Chase giving out bull shit advice "Just be the ball Noonan, be the ball", and being so straight forward with his insults that they don't seem to be insults, like when him and Carl are in what most people would call a storage area but Carl calls a house and Carl says he thinks people think he is stupid and Ty says "People don't say that about you ... as far as you know." I could go on forever about this movie but time to move on.
3. "And like that-he's gone" - Usual Suspects. This whole movie is a lie, basically. Kevin Spacey spends the whole movie talking about Keyser Soze and how powerful and mysterious he is only to be him. At the end I was like what the fuck. I love it when movies have twists and turns you don't see coming. Although I guess you should have but were so wrapped up in the story didn't bother to guess who he was. I just loved it when the cop turns around and looks at the bulletin board and see everything "Verbal" Kint was looking at and formulateing a story to. Again I could go on all day with this movie but need to move on.
2. Micheal is the Godfather and paybacks a bitch - The Godfather. We all now this scene. It is where Micheal Corleone is at a Baptisim (I thought it was his sisters kid, but something I just read said it was his kids) and he sends his boys out to right all the wrongs that has been done to his family. This scene is amazing. It goes back and forth w/Pacino at the church and the priest speaking w/all his gangsters blowing people away at all kinds of places. It shows how cold hearted Micheal is, and how the things will be run in the future.
1. "Say ello to my lil friend" - Scarface. This is one of the most famous lines in movie history, probably up there with "I'll make them an offer he can't refuse" and "I got that going for me". This scene come at the end of the movie when Sosa is going to get payback for Pacino's character Scarface's refusal to do a hit, because he don't kill kids mein. After he sticks his fucking head in a huge fucking pile of fucking cocaine, he grabs his "lil friend" and before he "opens" the door yells "Say ello to my lil friend" and just goes ape shit. He must have been fucking shot 200 times but the mother fucker stays up until that fucker shoots him in the fucking back. Great fucking movie, a classic. Side note: In case you didn't get it all the "fucks" in here was to pay tribute to the record Scarface held for the most uses of that word.
Honorable Mention
GoodFellas - "Funny How" -
Full Metal Jacket - oh, the first like 5 minutes
This is how my post would look using the Shizzonator
