And Now, My Favorite Moment in a Movie...

Favorite movie, despite Ted Turner's ownership and attempts at ruining it through his cable channel marathon showings. I love Jean Shepard's work.

i really tried, i did. i tried to narrow down my favorite movie scene. i actually spent 3 hours trying to figure it out. i have failed.
i couldn't narrow it down to less than 5:

1) the fight scene in "they live" between roddy piper and keith david

2) the night fight in the early part of "crouching tiger hidden dragon"

Alright, Cheezy. I'll go along with these movies, but my favorite scenes from them are:

1) The love scene at the end of They Live, when the alien asks the human woman: "What's the matter, Baby?"

2) The fight at Wudan Temple. Zhang Ziyi vs. Michelle Yeoh.

I have a long love/hate relationship with John Wayne movies. The Searchers is the one that keeps making the AFI Top Ten lists, but it's not my favorite. My two favorite JW movies are Fort Apache and Red River. If I were to meet a modern day Alexis de Tocqueville and he asked me, "How do Americans want to see themselves?" Without hesitation I'd say, "Watch Red River." I also liked Wake of the Red Witch quite a bit.

I loved the first Highlander movie. (The sequels, in my opinion, were never as good) I even have a replica Highlander katana. It's not an exact replica of the movie sword; I sculpted my own faux ivory dragon hilt out of epoxy resin. I'm also a huge fan of Queen's music.

I personallythought Blazing Saddles was hilarious, but if you're the type to take offense easily, this would be one to skip. There's something in this movie to offend EVERYBODY.

actually that fight doesn't take place at wudan. if you mean this scene:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OxQ-2gR1DU

it takes place in the training room of shu lien's (michelle yeoh) warehouse.
it was really hard for me not to choose that scene, i like it alot too. most people watch that scene and never see that shu lien passes up several chances to kill jiao long. also, many people don't see her precision, because of everything else going on. watch the video above. just before the 2 min mark when shu lien is fighting with the hooks. she comes across with a double left attack down low on her knees, then as she attacks to the right, she comes spinning, from a kneeling position, to standing, in one fluid move.
that's real. it's not wire-fu. try duplicating that move yourself with a couple of sticks to see how impressive that move is, and most people never notice it. i have anylized that movie so many times i lost count. i can recite the entire dialog from memory. the reason i chose the first fight scene,
("night fight" as it's called) is because a) it has some of the coolest hand scenes ever caught on film, and b) the footwork is amazing.

if you have the movie you can see better on your dvd. this is a crappy copy of it. sorry for going on and on, but this is one of my all time fav sword films. "a love before time" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnXawiyyTCI
from the soundtrack, was my wedding song.
 
Cheezy,

Yes, this is the fight scene I meant, at the warehouse, and we did notice here that shu lien passed up at least one chance to cancel jiao long. In fact, there was quite a heated argument amongst my Circle as to whether or not she should have. I err on the side of terminating all Sith and Sith-like personages. Their shot at redemption isn't worth the innocent lives they end up taking while they're finding themselves. Others feel differently. As for me, if I were Obi-wan, Anakin Skywalker would've been kicked into the lava, right after choking out fine-***ed Natalie Portman like Ike Turner... Yes, George Lucas. I said it.
