Pick a movie, decide it's best and worst moments...

[MooglePorn]

It works like this...

Star Wars
Best: Han Solo's attitude.
Worst: "I wanted to go to the tashi station to pick up some power converters."

Top Gun
Best: The music melding with the cool dogfights
Worst: Reminds you of that kid who tried REALLY hard to look as COOL as possible, no matter what.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Best: Shoot that fucking swordsman!
Worst: God's wrath is avoided by closing your eyes? I'll remember that if the rapture ever comes.

Those are just some popular examples, use any flick you want, or ignore this obvious middle of the night grasp for entertainment.

Well, this may be somewhat inaccurate, but I wanted to be the first to put this down as a 'worst moment' --

Superman
Best - "You, you've got me? Who's got you?" or -- anything with Lex Luthor. Gene Hackman rocks.
Worst - Spoken word segment when Lois is flying with Supes

OK, any part of that movie can be "best" except for the "worst" moment. That's just a slick movie.

[Damian]

"Can you read my mind?"

Have you ever heard the song that took her spoken words and used them as lyrics?

Yikes! Never heard of such a thing! That would *SUCK*.

[tomdkat]

Battlefield Earth:

Best moment: End credits
Worst momen: The movie itself

***************

Ocean's 12:

Best moment:

Spoiler (Highlight or Triple Click to Read):

When Terry Benedict tracked down the 11

Worst moment:

Spoiler (Highlight or Triple Click to Read):

The whole 'Julia Roberts' thing

***************

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers:

Best moment: When Gandalf rides down the hill with the riders of Rohan
Worst moment: The bitching by the orcs about being tired and hungry for meat

***************

Great thread!

Peace...

[EM3]

Ok I love this movie so here goes..

The Goood, the Bad and the Ugly

The best: When they open the grave of Arch Stanton and all they find is the skeleton.

The worst:
When Tuco takes slow aim at the target and shots it in two before robbing the gun shop owner.






Once Upon a Time in the West

The best: When you find out Henry Fonda is the bad guy. It sets the story for the whole movie and is a real shocker. Oh and of course Claudia Cardinale!

The worst: When Jason Robbards is hanging upside down on the moving train and all of his hair is still pointing straight up toward the sky.

[uujb]

Xmen
best...magneto/holocaust intro

worst...storms line about lightning hitting a frog......just dumb

Aww, I feel all warm and fuzzy now. Great scene.

Random flick:
Time Bandits
Best: Minotaur fight with Sean Connery.
Worst: How the movie ends. That always bothered me.

Then I'm sure you'd love to know that the 2-disc soundtrack release by Rhino has not one but FOUR versions: an instrumental version of just Williams' score, the version with Kidder reading the lyrics with the score as in the film, the pop-song version featuring cheesy drum machines and synthesizers behind Kidder's spoken lyrics, and an instrumental of the pop-song version (!?!?!?!?!?!).

Yeah.

I remember you telling me about it, I couldn't find it, and instead of ebay or something easy like that, I up and gave up.

Time to *not* give up -- it's on my list. Even if it does have that suck-y thing on it.

[Brikar99]

I highly recommend you get it. It's a great album, and the booklet that comes with it is interesting, too.

[Iguana Man]

Best: Halle Berry poolside in Swordfish....drops the book.

Worst: Forgetting to pause.

[Dave McFly]

For me its gotta be Back to the Future

Best The lightning hitting the clocktower at precisely 10:04PM
Worst Biff: "Why dont you make like a tree, and get out of here."

[Brikar99]

What's wrong with that? It's hilarious. Especially in Part II when he says it to the older Biff.

I agree. He's so stupid, he can't even get something as simple as this retort correct.

[biglyle]

First blood
Best - When Johnny Rambo pins the sherrif to the tree and gives him a little talking to about letting this crap go, NOW.
Worst - The little tough guy act David Caruso pulls while looking for Rambo in the woods.

Jaws
Best - Tie - the scene when Brody first sees the shark "were gonna need a bigger boat", or Quint becoming a snack
Worst - showing each other scars, pure filler.

Pulp fiction
Best - TIE - When travolta blows the guys head off in the car, and the trip to Tarantinos home that follows, or the speech by Christopher walken about the "watch"
Worst - any scene with butch and his girlfriend

[Damian]

[mlemmond]

Highlander

Best - The final "There can be only one"
Worst - The stolen car ride with the old lady.

[umainebearman]

Spinal Tap

Best - "It goes to 11..." or Big Bottom

Worst - uhmmm someone help me out on this one.

[NotEd]

I gotta disagree with that worst, BigLyle. It's the moment when Quint, Hooper and Brody bond. Plus it leads into the USS Indianapolis monologue. Frankly I've always found the worst moment to be Jaws 4: the Revenge.
Seriously, the cheesiness of how the shark looks with the tank in it's mouth at the end when it slides out of the Orca or when it first jumps up on the stern of the boat earlier and you can see thru the gills and out the other side are both as bad as I consider it getting.

As for good, the whole scene on the beach, ending with the death of Alex Kintner is one of my favorites.

[biglyle]

"It's the moment when Quint, Hooper and Brody bond."

If I wanted to see people bond I would watch Beaches.

I agree with the cheesy shark however. Must have sure looked good in its day.

[MiddleEarthGirl]

One more cool X-Men moment

Toad using that pole like a lightsaber(that was when it dawned on me about Toad and Darth Maul)

Constantine:

Best: All the sequences in Hell
Worst: Ok,that so called archangel just bugged me

[mlemmond]

A little Burt Reynolds action for ya!

Hooper

Best: The bar fight
Worst: I can't think of anything.

The Longest Yard

Best: Everything
Worst: They are remaking it.

The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas

Best: Dolly Parton's breasts
Worst: everythin else but Burt

Stick

Best: Bunny eyes
Worst: The first 10 mins

Heat

Best: Taking apart the goons with some coins and a credit card
Worst: Forever forgotten due to Michael Mann's film of the same name.

[rtcpenguin]

Kill Bill Vol 1.

Best: When Uma blinks and it returns to color in the HoTB scene or Hattori Hanzo's speech about the sword.
Worst: When Uma says "Yeah, I kinda did"

Actually, that wasn't that bad. I guess KB1 doesn't have any truly bad moments.

[EM3]

For it's time the sharks special effects were pretty good. If you ever watch the documentary on the movie they tell about all the problems they had out of Bruce.

[Bananaslug79]

More randomness:

The Usual Suspects
Best: The fall of the coffee cup and every minute after it.
Worst: The actress playing the lawyer; her acting hurts.

[LeChuck]

I find it amusing that your favourite scene in the entire movie was added in because of the stupid black and white edit. I guess every black and white cloud does have a silver lining.

[John Yaya]

having just watched Pulp Fiction...

Best: Butch in his car singing along to "Flowers On The Wall" and then Marsellus walking across the street as they meet eye to eye

Worst: Pumpkin & Hunny Bunny

[Bananaslug79]

Again, going with most recently viewed:

Boogie Nights
Best: A toss up between Julianne Moore and Heather Graham playing their respective porn stars.
Worst: Don Cheadle being horribly underused.

A Bug's Life
Best: Animation at its purest, funniest, and...fine, okay, I'll say it...cutest.
Worst: Probably would have to be Randy Newman's credit song; his score is fantastic, and even the music to the song is catchy, but when he starts singing it...oy.

[MrMike]

Independence Day

Best: all the cities blown to hell

Worst: Randy Quaid, the whole "I'm back" sequence


Return of the Jedi

Best: escape from Jabba and the Princess Leia outfit

Worst: fucking Ewoks

Yeah, I noticed someone listed that as their least favorite part. I actually liked the B&W edit, as I found it more artistic than the full color. Plus, it makes for that sweet transition.

When are we getting the 1&2 re-edited version though?
