colinmaroon Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I was watching the film, the Heat, with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino and there is a scene where the cop, Pacino, sits down with leader of the heist team, de Niro, and they have discussion over a cup of coffee. (It's about 1hr 50 mins into Film 4 viewing). No "action". All they do is talk but the whole scene is charged with a kind of "electric" power. The dialogue, the facial expressions, it is brilliant.

milky_26 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 i'm sure that was the first time both de niro and pacino had been in the same scene together i would add willem dafoe as sergeant elias in platoon, specifically his death scene. the music, imagery and meaning to charlie sheens character make it a really powerful scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as that scene is.....the bank robbery scene from start to finish....wow....thats the scene for me in Heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) This, to me is just genius. When I saw it for the first time it blew me away.

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I love this scene in " The Third Man" when Harry Lime ( Orson Welles ) explains the difference between Italy and Switzerland. The ending of the film is also a classic scene when Aliida Valli walks through the pathway in the park and one hears the famous Harry Lime theme.

jack D and coke Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I have to say Arnie is probably my favourite Hollywood actor of all time tbh. Absolutely loved his movies. The original Terminator movie along with Predator and Total Recall being his best. I’ve watched them all literally hundreds of times.

Cade Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 An acting masterclass by Hoskins. No dialogue. He just replayed the script in his head and let the emotions play across his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Like a painting brought to life. This film is very under-rated and should be regarded one of cinema's all-time greats. Using tens of thousands of Ukrainian army reserves as extras added to the authenticity of the armies. No CGI baws back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a cast. I'm going to have to go away and think again because you've said this. I'd pick the scene where Juror #3, Lee J Cobb, finally breaks down. Such a powerful movie. Someone else has gone for "I am Maximus Decimus Aurelius..." which would be in my top five. Off the top of my head, I'm stuck with: * The Childcatcher peering through the toymaker's window in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. * "Putting on the Ritz" in Young Frankenstein * Reciting Ezekiel in Pulp Fiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudyJudyJudy Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Im a bit of an old film buff. Tend to like the old black and white films. Although not adverse to modern films as long as they are well made and acted. This is one of my favourite scenes from " A streetcar named Desire". It cannot be underestimated how revolutionary Brando was in his acting style. His method type of acting changed the game and paved the way for Pacino , Deniro etc. Brando fairly sizzles in this scene ozzeing mascilinity and sexual tension as Stanly Kowalski ..Vivien Leigh holds her own as Blanche Dubois..Great to see their different acting styles working incredibly well. Brando was the only one from the main cast not to win the Oscar ( Leigh , Karl Malden and Kim Hunter ) all did. Brando was up against Bogart who won for " The African Queen" . He was the sentimental favourite so won it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
