Favorite movie scenes

[havoc]

Fair enough. I would however like to make you an offer you can't refuse, and encourage you to watch the first one at least. It is, in my opinion, amazing.

That scene in Angels and Demons in which when the Camerlengo asked Langdon whether he believes in God, and Langdon gives that cool reply:

[quote author=Angels and Demons]
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: . Do you believe in God, sir?
Robert Langdon: Father, I simply believe that religion...
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: I did not ask if you believe what man says about God. I asked if you believe in God.
Robert Langdon: I'm an academic. My mind tells me I will never understand God.
Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: And your heart?
Robert Langdon: Tells me I'm not meant to. Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive. [/quote]

I simply had to upload it. It will be taken down by YT in no time, but I simply had to take the chance. I nearly pissed myself when I saw it. I was little drunk, but still, this scene is what I call a masterpiece:

Here are some scenes from historical movies which can be appreciated by everybody - I guess.

Ran - Akira Kurosawa, the nightmarish siege scene (unfortunately only this short segment can be found, but I reccomend you to watch the whole sequence - and movie).

Henry V - Kenneth Branagh, the chanting sequence.

Come and See (Idi I Smotri) - Elem Klimov, the long, final massacre. Not a single drop of blood, yet the most disturbing and unforgettable scene I have ever scene. Truly shows the horror of war. Unfortunately I could only find the trailer

Barry Lyndon - Stanley Kubrick. Well, how can one possibly choose a scene from such a perfect movie. Every scene is one of my favourite scenes. So here's the ending scene.

Those are very impressive; I almost feel ashamed to link this one: The Turkish Gambit


I should watch Barry Lyndon too, one day. Where I live it's quite hard to get my hands on a copy, though.

You shouldn't be ashamed. The Turkish Gambit was a very enjoyable movie.

Man, it's too bad the russians are the only one still making old school historical movies and always with great reconstructions, I reckon, even if sometimes the result is not as good. Brest Fortress is probably the best of these 2000s russian historical movies - a war movie with nothing to envy to hollywood standard.

Anyway, I hope you can get to see Barry Lyndon, it is my favourite movie and surely the best portrait of the 18th century ever filmed.

Since I'm here:

Back when Ridley Scott made historical movies with balls. From The Duellist (which, in my opinion, has visuals with nothing to envy to Barry Lyndon):

Il mestiere delle armi (Profession of Arms), by Ermanno Olmi, about the last days of Giovanni dalle Bande Nere (killed by a falconet ball in a skirmish with Frundsberg's Landsknecht). Here's that very moment. If you like historical movies, more than action paced one, check it out.

Master and Commander, by Peter Weir. A perfect ending for a great movie with a perfect choice of music.

Well, this may not be the perfect movie, but I enjoyed this final battle scene. Yes, the number of actors is too little, the location doesn't look like France, but this is one of the best XVII century battle you may get on the big screen. From Alatriste, A.D. Yanes. It is the ending scene, but it doesn't spoil much, since it is in no way related to the rest of the movie.

For non spanish speakers:

The French propose the battle weary Spaniards to honourably surrender, since they have no hope to survive. The Spaniards answer: "Esto es un Tercio Espanol - this is a Spanish Tercio"

Definitely a favorite.

Here are some scenes from historical movies which can be appreciated by everybody - I guess.

F.F.C._fritz, you are a man after my own heart.  Love those movies.

Also love The Seventh Seal, Waterloo, and Children of Men that haven been posted.

Some of mine:

The opening of Aguirre, Der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre: The Wrath of God) (1972).

The burning of the town in Walker (1987).

The chase ("La Course De Manuel") from Z (1969).

This, or hell any scene, from Withnail & I (1987). 


And uh... I'm just going to put this here: I racconti di Canterbury (The Canterbury Tales) (1972).  Not my favorite.  Don't watch it, in fact.  But it's pretty memorable.  Pasolini was not one for subtlety.

Seconded.
I should watch Il Mestiere too, once. Especially now it appears to be on YouTube with subtitles (which wasn't the case before).
