Great Movie Moments Vids

February 23, 2014

Scent of a Woman – Defending Charlie’s Honour

Fantastic ending to a brilliant voyage of discovery film.

A Few Good Men – Captain Ross Testimony

‘I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself…………. and then questions the manner in which I provide it…………I would rather you just said thank-you and went on your way’

Olsen Twins — Straight Story

Very low key story of an old man travelling by his lawnmower to see his brother for the last time.

The Greatest Speech Ever Made

Charlie Chaplin’s final speech in the film the great dictator, with a splash of modern imagery. Song: Window by The Album Leaf

Schindler’s List – He Who Saves One Life Saves…..I could have done more.

At the end of the war, Itzhak (Ben Kingsley) presents Oskar (Liam Neeson) a gold ring with the inscription “whoever saves one life, save the world entire.”

Midnight Run – It’s Not a Payoff, It’s a Gift

Great ending to a great film.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – The Return of McMurphy

Classic Jack Nicholson moment

Sophie’s Choice – “The Choice”

Pure evil. So brilliantly acted that it’s hard to believe they’re actors. It’s terrible to think that with millions of jews being transported to the extermination camps, this scene was real for many poor souls.

Cape Fear – Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are.

“I ain’t no white trash piece of shit, I’m better than you all. I can outlearn you, I can outread you, I can outthink you and I can outphilosophise you. And I’m gonna outlast you. You think a couple of whacks to my good old board is just gonna get me down? It’s gonna take a helluva lot more than that counsellor to prove that you’re better than me..”

It’s a Wonderful Life – Lasso the Moon

Inspirational film for two reasons for me. Firstly, interesting concept for anybody to contemplate on; what difference would it have made if I hadn’t been born. How much positively do I contribute and if the answer is little, stop your complaining about others. Secondly, the astonishing zeal that James Stewart portrays when he’s telling Mary how he’s going to change the world.
