      That is fantastic.

      I feel like there needs to be a kind a Bechtel year for movies about men. The women’s version is “is there a conversation between two women not about men.” The men’s version should be “is there an honest conversation between two men about something other than power, violence, sex, or some other manifestation of their ego.” I like movies like that. City Slickers has a bunch of bits like that. As does Jerry Maguire, even though it’s superficially a sports movie. Cameron Crowe is good with that.

        Indeed. Hard to pick. “These go to 11” sticks out but it’s hard to chose.


        A River Runs Through It - The bit in the bar where the brother-in-law makes up a story about hunting otters.

        Miracle - And that is what you have here tonight, boys. https://youtu.be/tdmyoMe4iHM


        Austin Powers - “Luge lessons, summers in Rangoon...”

        Animal House - “Ok..Don’t write this down, but I find Milton as boring as you find Milton...”

        Caddy Shack - the whole speech about caddying for the Dalai Lama. Also “Danny, this isn’t Russia. Is this Russia?”

                The sex scene in Team America.
                https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7tXpBrpecA

                Edit: It's memorable for all the rampant puppet sex, of course, but, watching it again, I think my favourite bit is when she pokes him in the eye at the end.

                  I still like the opening scene of Alien as the hibernation pods open and the crew all wake up.

                  The scene in Aliens where the marines go into the reactor to find the colonists.

                    And of course the other scene in Aliens "We need to nuke it from orbit. Just to be sure." Then Burke calls Hicks "just a grunt".

                            The infamous shower scene from...High Anxiety:





                            I'm painfully aware that my contributions to this thread are definitely towards to low-brow end of the spectrum!

                                A slightly odd choice, but for me it's a scenes in the (underrated) A Life Less Ordinary. Ewan McGregor's character, now working in a diner, rejects heiress Cameron Diaz. Tony Shalhoub's wonderfully deadpan diner owner skewers him nicely:


                                Al: Nice-looking woman.

                                Robert: She isn't my type.

                                Al: What are you talking about? Look at yourself. You're nothing. You're nobody. You're wanted in connection with a violent crime. You're cleaning the floor of a diner. She is an intelligent, passionate, beautiful, rich woman. The issue of whether or not she's your type is not one that you're likely to have to resolve in this world... or, indeed, the next, since she will be going to some heaven for glamorous pussy, and you will be cleaning the floor of a diner in hell.

                                Robert: I guess so.

                                Al: So why are you even thinking about it?



                                A couple of other nice scenes in that film: McGregor keeps fucking up the call to Diaz's father (Ian Holm) to ransom her, so she does it for him; and the scene where dissolute angels Delroy Lindo and Holly Hunter try to reunite the pair with an unexpectedly lewd love poem.

                                  I love a lot of the scenes in Sideways, but particularly like the golf scene

                                      The end of Killing Them Softly, possibly Brad Pitt's finest screen moment.

                                        That is one Brad Pitt movie I haven't seen (and now may not have to). The other guy in that scene (whose name isn't Barack Obama) is usually a sign of quality.

                                        Forgot his name though.

                                          My favourite scenes are generally when someone breaks the fourth wall. But unexpectedly, rather than "Ferris Bueller". Like Tim Curry in "Rocky Horror" when he is introduced to Brad & Janet, and says "how nice!" or something, straight to camera.

                                            Richard Jenkins. I agree, an excellent character actor. It's a tight little movie, well worth seeing. Stupid title though, which did nothing to help it.

                                              Jenkins is excellent in the pretty decent series Berlin Station.

                                                  I’ve seen that, but totally forgot it.

                                                  ”America is not a country. It’s a business.” Fuck that’s accurate.
