Best Whatever

I always have these little random things come into my head about certain movies--they'll have something strange or unique in there that may not qualify them for any "Best Movie" category but certainly is a moment to be savored. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, so I'll stop trying and give some examples.

Best Use of Wagner: Apocalypse Now
"Charlie don't surf!"

Best Kevin Costner Role: The Big Chill

Best Baby-As-Plot-Device: Raising Arizona
"This one's pretty damn good, though."

Best Use of Night Ranger's "Sister Christian": Superstar
"And when I say 'booga booga,' you booga booga."
"What's 'booga booga'?"
"I don't know. But if I say it, you better f*ckin' figure it out."

Best Frog Sequence (from any movie that is not actually titled "Frogs"--Ray Milland, what the f*ck were you thinking?): Magnolia

These aren't as well-thought-out as they should be, but I'll have more. It's wide-open, people.

Best Subtle Expression of Sweltering Masculinity:
Daniel Day-Lewis, when he does the palm-to-forehead thing while talking to Monroe in Last of the Mohicians.

Best Dance Sequence: The one in A Knight's Tale. Horrible movie, great re-mix of David Bowie's Golden Years. The midevil costumes and the music was a sweet combination. I dug it.

Best Movie to Watch With a Group of Girls: Heathers or How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Best Movie to Watch With a Bunch of People: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Sub category~Best Imitation of a Frenchman: Same movie.

I have more, but I want to give it some thought. Great thread.

i cant agree more, Holy Grail is a great movie to sit around with mates and watch.

Movie with best FAST fight scenes: Highlander: Endgame

i could easily think of more but i will save them for another time

You, uh, do know Eddie Murphy's character in the 48 Hrs. flicks is a convict and not a cop, yeah? There is a difference, even in California.

Best Embarrassing Scene for a Woman Character: The scene in Briget Jones' Diary, when she's making out with Hugh Grant and he notices her granny underwear. OMG!

Hmmm...that award could also go to Fatal Attraction.

Death to Bunnies.

But think of the usage of rabbits in Grail!!

Not only the obvious, the rabbit which attacks the knights and is killed by the holy hand grenade, but also the giant wooden rabbit which is hurled violently at the knights from the French castle after their plan doesn't really...work.

I agree.
Death to Bunnies.

We should start a global campaign.

Best sex scene: George Clooney and J.Lo in Out of Sight.
