Greatest Movie Scenes #63 - DEATH IN VENICE

The unforgettable end scene of one of Luchino Visconti’s greatest and often critically confused film.

Greatest Movie Scenes #62 - MY DARLING CLEMENTINE

“Shakespeare was not meant for taverns nor for tavern louts.” It’s such an unusual scene for a Western but it just happens to be one of my favourites.

Greatest Movie Scenes #61 - D.O.A.

Rudolph Mate’s classic 1950’s film noir doesn’t waste any time in getting to the movie’s plot. It arrives on arrival…

Greatest Movie Scenes #60 - LOST IN TRANSLATION

As requested by Gregg, this week’s great movie scene comes from the really cool Lost in Translation movie from Sofia Coppola, which is a film I’m sure attracted many from the Western world over to Tokyo for a vacation.

Greatest Movie Scenes #59 - ODD MAN OUT

Boy, have we got a great movie scene for you today although I will admit it does work better in the context of the film Odd Man Out than it does on it’s own but it’s still great and really deserves it’s place on this list.

Greatest Movie Scenes #58 - PLANET OF THE APES

Does PLANET OF THE APES have a more horrific ending than THE WICKER MAN? I think so. It really leaves you feeling cold and I remember the first time I saw this movie, the ending effected me for quite some time.

Greatest Movie Scenes #57 - BLUE VELVET

A disturbing scene to showcase this week for our greatest movie scene feature as Dennis Hopper is Frank Booth, possibly the meanest and most sexually repulsive villain in film history.

Greatest Movie Scenes #56 - ALIEN

As requested by Dave, this week’s greatest movie scene comes from ALIEN, a movie which changed our whole perception of what the science fiction genre could be when it opened at the back end of the 1970’s.

Greatest Movie Scenes #55 - THE SEVENTH SEAL

The Seventh Seal for my money is Bergman’s best film. It’s certainly his most famous. Possibly because of it’s incredible opening scene depicting a knight’s quest to save his life by challenging death to a game of chess.
