Goosebump moments from films...

Saw this at the pictures when I was 12 years old , man was on his way to the moon and we felt we were living in the space age. My jaw dropped open at this scene and stayed like it until Kia Ora time. I did think that this film was an indication of what was to come.

The ending of The Long Good Friday ... If you haven't watched the film yet - do. If you have, here is a reminder ...

Spoiler: Watch the film first!

Here's a rather bad quality clip from the end of Breaker Morant, a not well known film about the Boer War from an Australian perspective. The film is excellent.

There's a scene in a Steve Martin film when the girl he loves describes her ideal man and Martin thinks it's him then realises it's his friend. Martin doesn't react much at all but you can tell his heart's broken. It's in Roxanne.

Spoiler alert: Cyrano de Bergerac

the final scene of the original where Cyrano reads aloud the poetry supposedly written to Roxanne's by now dead suitor. As it gets dark Cyrano somehow recites on and Roxanne suddenly realises that Cyrano had written all the letters himself, on his friend's behalf. Outstanding film. Depardue is superb, portraying an extovert braggart who is also impossibly shy unable to declare his love of Roxanne. Even the English subtitles are in rhyming couplets - translated into poetry by Anthony Burgess of Clockwork Orange fame

Steve Martin can do pathos terribly well, I caught Parenthood last night. a great film that stands up to repeat viewings and isn't remotely dated. Parenthood's quite stagey, it's a series of vignettes really but no less brilliant for that. Some say Ron Howard is a by-the-numbers director, he just points the camera and lets the actors do the job, apart from slightly daft directorial flourishes like in Rush when he cuts from a sex scene to a close up of a racing engine, pistons glistening and ramming home in their silky sleeves OK WE GET IT.

I want to the Royal premiere of that film in Leicester Square, it's the only royal premiere I've been to and when I occasionally tell people about Breaker Morant they have never heard of the film

Glad someone else has seen it LOL

"Daddy, my daddy!"

Agreed, even now, at the age of 50, as I think about it, a tear wells up
Granted it's got to be the original Jenny Agutter scene, it doesn't work for me with the remake (on the Bluebell Railway)


Plus, I watched 'Goodbye Farewell & Amen' last night, the last ever episode of M*A*S*H, & that had some tear-jerker moments

I watched it religiously every night I could, when it was broadcast here in the 70's/80's

Matt Damon is such a good actor.

SPOILER

Billy Wilder has no dialogue in this scene, no exposition, no voiceover, yet it's at the heart of the film:

It's the turning point of the film, the end is only 5 minutes away, and Shirley MacLaine's expression tells you everything you need to know.

I can't find either the screenplay nor the clip, but the bit in Whistle Down the Wind where they're talking through the barn window and she says:

"I believe in you, we all do".

And his faces just changes as he decides to hand himself in.

EVERY time.
