good f'n choice. Mines a lil further back

The President: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

The Baptism scene from Godfather part I.

"I do renounce him"

** Michael's enemies start getting killed **

Here's the LINK




Also, Tony Montana's final stand on Scarface.

After seeing his empire crumble, with Sosa's men storming his house, Tony Montana grabs his M4A1 rifle with an undermounted M203 grenade launcher and screams "SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND" before taking out several of Sosa's hunchmen before being killed by a Schwarzenegger-type dude with a shotgun.

Then, on Apocalypse Now, the classic "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" LINK

Speaking of Westerns.....

That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned.

You better bury Ned right! Better not go cuttin' up, nor otherwise harm no whores. Or I'll come back and kill every one of you sons-o-(bleep).

I'm a huge history buff, so personally, my favorite is from Gettysburg, when Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels) gives a speech to the 20th Maine about fighting for free men. The situation is he has some unhappy soldiers who don't want to fight any more that have been folded into his unit.

Quote:
You men gather around.

I've been talking with Private Bucklin. He's told me about your problem. There's nothing I can do today.

We're moving out in a few minutes. We'll be moving all day.

I've been ordered to take you men with me. I'm told that ... if you don't come, I can shoot you. Well, you know I won't do that. Maybe somebody else will, but I won't. So, that's that.

Here's the situation.

The whole reb army is up that road a ways waiting for us. This is no time for an argument. I tell you, we could surely use you fellows. We're now well below half strength. Whether you fight or not, that's up to you. Whether you come along is ... Well, you're coming. You know who we are, why we're here. If you fight alongside us, there's a few things you must know.

This regiment was formed last summer in Maine. There were a thousand of us then. There are less than three hundred of us now. All of us volunteered to fight for the union, just as you did. Some came mainly because we were bored at home -- thought this looked like it might be fun. Some came because we were ashamed not to. Many of us came because it was the right thing to do. And all of us have seen men die.

This is a different kind of army. If you look back through history, you will see men fighting for pay, for women, for some other kind of loot. They fight for land, power, because a king leads them or -- or just because they like killing. But we are here for something new. This has not happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free.

America should be free ground -- all of it. Not divided by a line between slave state and free -- all the way, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here, we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here, you can be something. Here, is the place to build a home.

But it's not the land. There's always more land.

It's the idea that we all have value -- you and me.

What we're fighting for, in the end, we're fighting for each other.

Sorry, I didn't mean to preach. You, you go ahead. You talk for awhile. If you -- If you choose to join us, you want your muskets back, you can have 'em. Nothing more will be said by anybody anywhere. If you choose not to join us, well you can come along under guard, and when this is all over I will do what I can to see you get a fair treatment. But for now, we're moving out.

Gentlemen, I think if we lose this fight, we lose the war. So if you choose to join us, I'll be personally very grateful.

I also enjoy the second scene of "Back to School," with the commercial for "Tall & Fat."

Quote:
"Hey, Lou, have you seen the new spot?"

"Yeah."

"Do I look fat?"

"You could stand to lose a few pounds."

"I gotta get bigger actors."

The Matrix - Morpheus rescue / Helicopter scene

Neo is strapped to a freakin helicopter and hanging onto the rope as the chopper is going down, KNOWING that Trinity is going to cut the line and be on the other end of it.
Tank - "I knew it, he's the one."
Morpheus - "Do you believe it now, Trinity?"
Neo - "Morpheus, the oracle told me---"
Morpheus - "-She told you... exactly what you needed to hear, Neo. That's all. Sooner or later you're going to realize there's a difference between KNOWING the path... and WALKING the path."

I am surprised no one has mentioned the scene in Godfather II where Vito stalks Fanucci through the religious street festival and whacks him at his door with the pistol wrapped in a cloth. Great scene edited masterfully.

Very good scene, but I enjoyed the scene from Godfather I when Michael is in his wedding room with Apollonia.

"The Godfather," but not the baptism scene.

It's the scene in the backyard where Don Corleone is telling Michael that he will be assassinated, and the Don, after asking him random questions about Michael's son and tapping the phone lines, tells his son, "I never wanted this for you..."

All the time that Michael thought his father was trying to push him into the family business, he finds out his father really DID want him to have a legit life, as "Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone..."

The Don genuinely regrets what has happened, and tells him "There wasn't enough time, Michael. There wasn't enough time."

And Michael says, "We'll get there, Pop. We'll get there."

The scene was written on-set, and Brando had cue cards, but that scene gets me every time.

That's a very good scene as well.

Godfather is packed with great scenes. The " I knew it was you Fredo" in part II is a classic too.
