Reply to: Best Movie Sequence...?

[thunderlizard]

Lord of the Rings (maybe the middle one) where Grimmer Wormtongue is shown the massive horde of Urukhai from Saruman's tower, and realises he's maybe got into this evil thing further than he'd planned. Or where Theoden catches fire on his son's pyre and lobs himself off the parapet.

Madness of King George, where a resistant Nigel Hawthorne ("you scabby bum sucker!") gets into a ruckus with Ian Holme's heavies and then Zadok the Priest kicks in - although it would have been even better with longer tracking shots.

End of Godfather I - montage of the 5 rival family heads getting "whacked".

Napoleon Dynamite's dance. Or Little Miss Sunshine's.

Ian Mckellen's Richard III - several options. Opening when the tank comes through the wall; or the "winter of our discontent" speech in the ballroom/urinal; or the camp soliloquy after the wooing scene; or his Nuremberg-style rally after becoming king; or "My kingdom for a horse!" when his jeep is wheel-spinning in the mud for sheer cheekiness.

Brian Blessed flying in to rescue Flash Gordon.

Ocean's XI - Eliot Gould's poolside lecture on the history of casino robberies.

The opening scene of Badge of Evil (or was it Touch of evil)

The scene in El Cid where he's in exile and looking for a drop of water

Excalibur where the King wakes up and rides to battle.

African Queen where they discover Humph has collected leeches.

A few spring to mind, not really sequences more scenes..

Danny riding around the Overlook Hotel on his trike.

"Its full of stars"

"I just accidentally shot Marvin in the throat"

"And then?"

Paddy Considine in Dead Man's Shoes, the scene where he laces the drinks with ketamine and LSD.

And the shooting scene from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

And the "Cuckoo clock" speech. In fact, just about every scene in that film

<pedant>

Except that cuckoo clocks come from the Black Forest in Germany, not Switzerland.

Most of 2001. Needs to be seen in a cinema with a really good and loud sound system.
