Movie moments that gave/give you chills *Spoilers throughout*

Recommended Posts

First one that comes to mind is Eastwood in "Unforgiven" when he takes a swig of whiskey after finding out Ned's dead. I can watch that scene on loop and still feel it.

 

Rocky getting up in the 14th round against Apollo.

 

Snake pulling "the switch" in Escape from New York.

 

The cop and the girl having dinner in Magnolia.

 

What are some of yours?

The first appearance of Gollum in the Two Towers, The way he looked matched up so well with the way I've always imagined him looking like that I marked out.

Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper's little showdown in True Romance. In a movie full of amazing moments, that one really stood out.

 

The endings of Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense, IF you didn't see them coming (like me).

 

And oh yeah, that scene in Magnolia too. Easily my favorite part of that movie, one of the few times I was literally cheering for two movie characters to hook up.

"Now! Offer me money"

"Yes."

"Power too, promise me that!"

"All that I have, and more...please..."

"Offer me everything I ask for."

"Anything you want."

"I want my father back, you sunnavabitch!"

 

"You feelings for them are strong. Especially for...sister! So...you have a twin sister. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not be turned to the Dark Side, then perhaps she will..."

"NO!!"

Then I plain suck, because 1.Deep Impact already did an identical scene, and 2.I just sat there wondering "Isn't he taking an awfully long time to push the damn button? The asteroid's almost here, asshole, quit whining to Liv and do it already!"

I'll go with Gandalf returning near the end of Two Towers. The whole portion from the charge of the Rohirrim led by Theoden until Gandalf and Co. charge down the hill and take out the orcs.

I second the declaration of suck. Harry Stamper died for our sins, dammit, the least you could do is show some respect and feel goosebumps for his impending blowuppery and subsequent flashbacks.

 

Oh, and the tears in rain speech from Roy in Blade Runner. Fucker died for our sins too. Goddamn geneticists, playin around with gods creation. Damn astronauts not learnin from the story of babel and damn Oil drillers takin that dinosaur oil with their demon geology.

The endings of Heat, Shawshank Redemption, and Field Of Dreams

 

The entire last 15 minutes of The Fountain.

 

The Fountain had great visuals, but the only story in that I really cared for was the work of fiction about the Queen. Otherwise I was fighting to stay awake

The scene in "Remember the Titans" when the team comes to the cemetery at Gettysburg and Denzel's speech there.

 

"Snoopy Come Home" at the farewell party before Snoopy leaves Charlie Brown to live with his previous owner (I was 6 at the time).

 

The scene in "Full Metal Jacket" where Private Pyle is in the latrine, blows Sgt. Hartman away, then turns the gun on himself.

In "The Patriot", when Heath Ledger's character has Col. Tavington on the ground face down and is about to shoot him and Tavington quickly turns over and stabs him with his sword before he can pull the trigger.

 

Quite a few scenes from "The Crow", but mostly the one where kills, I believe Funboy, but I may be wrong, but tying him up inside his car, putting explosives in it and sending him off the pier. Then he leaves the Crow "logo" in flames on the ground at the scene.

 

Those are off the top of my head, I'll think of more later.

High Plains Drifter. The whole movie, but specifically when he just up and rapes that bitch, and then makes a midget mayor. Also when he kills 4 guys with a whip.

 

Full Metal Jacket. When they kill the VC sniper. Hardcore, man.

 

28 Weeks Later. When the guy gouges that bitches eye's out. Awesome. She also gets fire bombed.

That would be "T-Bird", not Funboy (he was the heroin addict who was killed in the girl's mom's apartment).

 

Mark's first hit in A Better Tomorrow

Damn, there's an old chestnut.

 

 

The dying guy talking to his wife and newborn child over the phone, with his last breaths, while they don't know he's dying, in A Better Tomorrow II. (Now THAT'S how you do a tough guy's eulogy to his own kid!)
