villa4europe Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Maybe a surprise one here I think the choreography and the skill involved is brilliant but more than that the story told between the 2 characters, Hector riddled with guilt knowing that he won't win and he has his family vs Achilles who is toying with him as he knows that he will and its not overly flash either apart from Achilles arrogance whilst still having several cool moves and done in an almost minimalistic setting Its superbly done and for me entirely believable making it one of the best fight scenes ever done in a film not called crouching tiger hidden dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chaff, every person involved make it exceptional. If we're branching out to TV then This is England is a great shout for lots of these. I honestly think it might be the best British TV show ever. It's absolutely superb. My favourite performance in it, however, is this whole sequence (obviously it includes Stephen Graham again). The entire thing is utterly heartbreaking (SPOILERS for TIE '90) Edited April 25, 2022 by Stevo985 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I'm very bad at recalling specific scenes for very long, certainly not without prompting, but I'm always spellbound by most of the scenes of 'A Portrait of a Woman on Fire' - perhaps the bonfire scene here is just magnificently hypnotic.

villa4europe Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 will watch it again when I get home but i think a lot of TiE best scenes almost have an ad lib feel to them which definitely enhances it from memory that rape scene in particular has a lot of toing and froing that doesn't really go anywhere but creates the impending doom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) There's also a particularly effective scene in Clouzot's Les Diaboliques ( 1955) where the head-teacher rises from a bath and heads towards the bedroom of an innocent woman, the build up of footsteps and silence alongside the use of light that is really well done.

bannedfromHandV Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Tom Berenger in Platoon. He’s brilliant throughout but the scene in the underground bunker after he’s shot Elias (Defoe) is absolutely superb.

bannedfromHandV Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Also ‘Gunny’ and Private Pile in Full Metal Jacket, that entire opening 25 minutes in the film is superb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2022 Here's a bit of a left field shout, might be frowned on by some give it's from a musical. And to be honest it's not a film I particularly enjoyed at all to be honest. However Anne Hathaway in this scene is absolutely excellent. Gut wrenching 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 First she mastered the Polish accent so that she could speak German and English in order to have the proper accent of a Polish refugee, not sure I even like her but I respect her ability. Her performance in Sophie's Choice is regarded as one the greatest screen performances of all time. Its a decent film that is dominated by her.

GarethRDR Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I've taken to using Sophie's Choice as an example for those occasions when I have to convince relatives that, no, my wife does not and has not ever wanted children and no, she won't be "changing her mind". Thusly: "You know Sophie's Choice? My wife would have happily sent both kids to their death for a seat upgrade". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the book the sheriff Teasel character is a far more sympathetic character but such sublety.... The scene which always makes me laugh everytime, is when Rambo sews up the gash in his arm. A truly great film which always leaves me with a smile on my face. Edited April 25, 2022 by MakemineVanilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
