Greatest Scenes
Greatest Movie Scenes #52 – THE BIRDS
This week's scene is pure Hitchcock who masterfully creates suspense by having the viewer see and feel the danger before our lead character. That song the children are signing to is expertly chosen to crank up the tension even further.
Greatest Movie Scenes #51 – BULLITT
With rumors of Brad Pitt gearing himself up to star in a remake of BULLIT, we sure you the great car chase from the original Steve McQueen movie!
Greatest Movie Scenes #50 – JURASSIC PARK
The movie that started my love for cinema seems fitting for No. 50 of the Great Movie Scenes!
Greatest Movie Scenes #49 – JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS
Now this is an epic movie. One of my favourite scenes from my childhood and one that creeped me the hell out for many years. Yet I kept coming back to watch it and that really is the beauty of cinema.
Greatest Movie Scenes #48 – CLERKS II
I've showcased a lot of horror and serious scenes over the last couple of weeks, so I thought I would go a little more light-hearted for this week. Clerks II, the movie that you either love or you hate.
Greatest Movie Scenes #47 – SCANNERS
Darren Lynn Bousman looks to be remaking this David Cronenberg classic, but I don't think it's possible to improve on this scene.
Greatest Movie Scenes #46 – SPARTACUS
It's not that scene. Everyone knows that scene. There's more to the film than that...
Greatest Movie Scenes #45 – THE WICKER MAN
To celebrate Christopher Lee's 85th birthday, this week's great movie scene is one of his most iconic moments on film (of which he has many!). It's the final ten minutes from the classic ORIGINAL 1974 movie The Wicker Man.
Greatest Movie Scenes #44 – The CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI
We are going well back in time with this week's great movie scene. All the way back to 1920 in fact. The film in question is Robert Weine's classic THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI.
