The scene in Schindler's List when the train carrying Jewish people arrives at the Auschwitz concentration camp. When the name appeared on the screen a deep fear hit my heart.

Roots when after repeated whipping Kunte Kinte finally says his name is "Toby."



Awesome choice! thumbs up!

What about Spike Lee's "Malcolm X" when Denzel says: "We didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us!"


Oh yeah!

Spike knows how to put those images in his movies for sure. He always has a few.

Like in "Bamboozled" when Tommy Davidson's character is putting on the blackface make up with rage anger desperation and sorrow eventually breaking down into tears, Spike really captures the conflict and contradictions of minstrelsy and put the audience in the emotional mindstate of those who felt that's what they had to do to get by.



Also when Tommy tells Mantan he's out (in the dance studio) & he does the whole, "Do you remember me?! It's the same bullshit, just done over..." monologue, sort of wipes his hand over his face & transforms into a character, etc... That part always gets me...

Romeo & Juliet (1996) when Romeo shoots Tybalt: it's dark & rainy, a closeup shows Leonardo's eyes welling with tears, he lets out a scream that could stop your heart & he shoots... SUCH a great moment!!

Also, every scene with Harold Parineau (sp?) is powerful, his presence is amazing...

Another one from "Do the Right Thing"--the scene with the following exchange:

MOOKIE: Sounds funny to me. As much as you say nigger this and nigger that, all your favorite people are "niggers."

PINO: It's different. Magic, Eddie, Prince are not niggers, I mean, are not Black. I mean, they're Black but not really Black. They're more than Black. It's different.
"That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32

steel magnolias when he comes home and finds shelby and the baby is crying.

steel magnolias the grave scene sally field's rant and then "here hit wheezer" I always laugh and cry at the same time on that one.

something to talk about when julia stands up in the meeting and asks who else is fucking her husband.

something to talk about when her sister says "ask him what he likes to eat, if he says pussy tell him to come on over!

Phenomenon when she is shaving John travolta and Aaron Neville is singing " crazy love"

Lady sings the blues when piano man dies and she is too high to be sad

the end of silence of the lambs- I'm having an old friend for dinner and he follows that doctor slowly.

sixth sense when the girls says "i feel much better now" and later when she grabs his leg.

sixth sense when he gets up to pee and goes into the kitchen looking for mom- No dinner is not ready yet! my kids say this to me all the time like I am the mom from hell...

under the cherry moon when christopher walks up on the rolls and the only reason we know it is purple is because of the press releases...

Grafitti Bridge when Jill takes he panties off in the street because Prince thinks those are his drawers

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the scene in Magnolia where Tom Cruises character meets with his dieing father. Very powerful moment.

In fact, I find all of Magnolia to be moving and poignant.

I think that's bullshit. He can act alright. He does great in that scene, all that pent up anger, but it's still his dad. He cant turn his back.
I dont think he could have done the scene any better. Some critics know jack shit it seems. smile
