I keep thinking about this great scene in The Wrestler between Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei's characters in a bar. I won't give it away for those who haven't seen the movie yet but it involves some funny dialogue between the two about the decade they agree was the best. It's a small, intimate moment rendered so perfectly that you completely forget you're watching two actors - it feels more like overhearing a conversation at your local dive bar.
Sometimes a movie contains a scene so well-done it has the power to stick around in our minds for years and years. Like one of the most romantic scenes in Wall-E: Eve and Wall-E's dance among the stars. So. Freaking. Cute. Not to mention beautiful. And Happy Go-Lucky contains an intense scene between the main character and her driving instructor that's so unsettling it will take me a long time to shake it off.
Sometimes I think there should be an Academy Award category for Best Scene! What do you think? Which scenes from this year's Oscar-nominated films stick out to you the most?

Definitely the scene in tropic thunder when Matthew Maconahey blocks the bomb with the Tivo. Or the scene in the Dark Knight with the Joker and Batman in the interogation room together. I think that was the point in the movie that Ledger won himself an oscar. He explained to Batman what he would have to become to beat him. It showed that Ledger's Joker was a different kind of villian that had never been seen in a movie before, one not motivated by money, but complete demented anarcy.
the part in slumdog millionaire when he saw amitabh bachan. it was so funny what he went through to see him and the way he raised his hands shouting his name was just legendary.
the scene where clint eastwood gets killed near the end of gran torino....he really does have something to teach about life and death....best movie of the year by far
also the dark knight sucked
i'll admit the dark knight was very overated and not as good as batman begins but it was still entertaining...but your right gran torino was the best film of the yr...but the best film never wins...perfect example last year before the devil knows your dead was the best film
1.benjamin button: when cate blanchett is dancing in the gazebo outside for brad pitt. the music was wonderful.
2.slumdog millionaire: definitely when the kid met the big star by jumping into the feces.
3. dark knight: when the joker meets the crime lords and leaves his 'card'.
4.frost/nixon: when nixon asks frost whether he fornicated seconds before the interview began.
5.reader: the entire courtroom scene with kate winslet. holy crap is she good.
6.milk: when emile hirsch mocks sean penn about campaigning and tells him that he is going to spain.
how could you say the dark knight sucked? That was the best superhero movie that has been made, it transcended just being a comic book movie. There was so much meaning in everything that happend in that movie, how could anyone say it sucks or is overrated. You must just not have gotten the meaning or something, I just dont understand the basis for your comment?
i could go on for hours on why it sucked...Sucked may be a little harsh but it was def way overrated....as for best superhero movie ever...no way it wasnt even the best this year...that would be ironman
i was so excited for the dark knight and saw it in imax at three am the day it came out and left disappointed...there are plenty of people that agree with me on this....just do a google search and youll find many sites where ppl point out all the reasons it was sub par
everyone is entitled to their own opinion so i wont continue on the subject...just voicing my opinion
