Great Movie and TV Scenes

Since Opening Day was last Thursday, a scene from one of (if not the) best baseball movies ever:

From Firefly

A couple of GOT sword fights re-imagined as lightsaber fights:

Supernatural was full of 'em before it jumped the shark...

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but damn I love this movie.


Edit: Gah, looks like no embedding on this one. Seeing a lot of that lately. Well, here's the link anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAS4pJmuHAM

Finest carchase scene ever.

I'm kind of partial to the chase scene in Ronin, a very underappreciated movie in my estimation.

I liked Dune but you had to know the book for th movie to be enjoyed at all.

There were some major deviations from the book in the movie (I don't think the weirding modules were in the book, were they?), but overall I thought Lynch did a great job with the look and feel of it, really capturing the weirdness of the novel.



The later books kind of lost me, after the original Dune novel. I was pretty good until God Emperor but it just got too dense and incomprehensible for me after that. Maybe I'll try again sometime.

There are a lot more Dune books out now. You should check them out. Herbert wrote an unrelated book I also enjoyed called Helstrom’s Hive.

Re the movie, I thought Sting did a good job in his role.

Georgie meeting Pennywise is one of my favorite horror movie scenes, in both adaptations of IT.

1990, with Tim Curry:


And 2017, with Bill Skarsgard:


They're both good in their own way, but I much prefer Skarsgard's performance. He's more menacing and creepy; plus, Muschietti's atmosphere and tension-building really enhance the scene.

Han meets Chewie:



Han meets Lando:
