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.

[Gamplayerx]

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.

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.

The best part of Grosse Pointe Blank is when John Cusack drops the TV on Dan Ackroyd's head and says "Popcorn."

10.  Volunteers- Tom Hanks et al. are escaping from the warlord's castle.  They turn a corner and there's a leopard.  Tom Hanks says "A leopard"  Just the way he says it cracks me the hell up.
