When one scene makes you want to see the whole film?
This has happened to me a few times now. There are films that I may have seen part, but not all, of and they may not have interested me. Then I'll catch one scene and it will completely change my attitude and make me eager to see the whole thing.
A recent example is The Remains of the Day:
WARNING: spoilers below
when the older Stevens is trying to extricate himself from the shadow of Lord Darlington's disgrace, as well as the scene when the Blackshirts visit the hall. That gave the film a different dimension for me, beyond the examination of service and the relationship between the main characters.
Another is Heat, which I'm currently watching all the way through for the first time: and finally the opening of Star Trek (2009):
WARNING: spoilers below
where Nero's ship arrives. Very dramatic and pushing Star Trek into another level cinematically.
Anyone else have a similar experience? |

Umm... Yes. The way one of the characters handles the sausage at 1 minute 34 seconds into this clip makes me want to watch Bad Moms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD8MN4mHkyU |
There's a scene in the trailer for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels where Steve Martin and Michael Caine are walking near a pier and one of them pushes a little old lady off the pier into the water. That scene made me want to see the film; however, imagine my surprise when I saw the film and that scene was nowhere to be found.

First time I saw Raising Arizona, the movie was a few years old and I was just a kid. I saw the chase scene when Cage was running through the store and it cracked me up. Since then, I've seen it dozens of times.

I'm just not a fan of those kind of movies, like bridesmaids, sex and the city etc, so wont be checking out Bad Moms 2. Each to their own, so I hope you enjoy. If I want to see a potty mouth actress I'd rather watch Melissa McCarthy in that cop movie with sandra bullock. Now she really is a fish wife, but god she made me laugh, especially when she was talking about her boss' balls. |

Alien: The Chestburster.
The Last of the Mohicans: The final showdown. Heat: the shootout. For a Few Dollars More: Mortimer collects the bounty. Road to Perdition: "I'm glad it's you." |

I was disappointed whe I watched The Heat. Somehow I mistook Melissa McCarthy for Jenny McCarthy hoping to see some hot jiggling action. Where did they find that fat pig?
Maybe I was delirious because I cant sleep on planes. |

the intro sequence of top gun, and bad boys and most of the tony scott movies and the early jerry bruckheimer action movies, the rock etc, tony scott knows how to capture the style and attention with his scenery, camera positions, and time of day, RIP.
