What are some of your favorite scenes from movies?
Timothy and I are watching O' Brother, Where Art Thou. The barn burning scene in this movie cracks me up every single time I see it.
I've never successfully seen O' Brother, Where Art Thou. I want to - it got such a huge response - but I can't get through it.
My mom hated it. Well, she just said she didn't think it was funny. Everyone else I know loves it.
The church scene in Cool Hand Luke when Luke is talking to God.
Chow Yun Fat's gunfight at the restaurant in A Better Tomorrow.
In Beautiful Girls after the birthday party when Willie and Mo are sitting by the pool table.
Willie says slowly, "I just want something beautiful."
Mo replies, "We all want something beautiful, Willie."
"Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying"
Shawshank Redemption...
One of the most visually compelling and well done scenes I've seen is from The Color Purple. The face scarring one.

Me too. I could watch that movie every day. The book is good too.
1. The fight scene in Grosse Pointe Blank -- not where he kills the guy with the pen, or the other guy with the TV, but the fight between Cusack and Driver, where she says, "you don't get to have me". I love that line.
2. "Your Testicles And You" in Johnny Dangerously.
3. The opening sequence in Serenity, which will mean that I'm finally watching it.
