Terrific scene by Robert Shaw. (Although as a mental exercise I like to envision Lee Marvin reciting this)
The GB&U is one of my favorite westerns. I saw Rollerball at the movies in 1974 or 1975 but not since. The clip inspired me to watch the whole movie again. The Shining - I have many favorite clips from this movie but here is one. "When my wife tried to prevent me from performing my duty, I, corrected her."
"infiltrate by whatever means available, and terminate the Colonel's command..... terminate with extreme prejudice"
"Napalm in the Morning" may have already been posted - if so, sorry but it is one of my favorite clips from AN plus a bonus clip added below:
Apocalypse Now gunboat crewman Tyrone Miller, seen dancing in the movie clip above, is played by Larry (Laurence) Fishburne, only fourteen years old when shooting began in March 1976. He lied about his age in order to get cast in his role [Wiki]. I thought he looked familiar when I saw the movie again last year, so I looked it up. The following is from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
There was a TV movie version of The Shining a few years ago that supposedly was a lot closer to what Steven King wrote (I don't know, I've never read his novel). But Kubrick's The Shining was way scarier than the TV movie remake. Obligatory "Come play with us, Danny" scene
But hands down the most torturous scene for McDowell was the most famous: the "rehabilitation" scene. That's when Alex is forced to watch hours of rape and violence with his eyes pried open with what looks like tiny barbecue tongs attached to orthodontia headgear. During that scene, the doctor you see sitting there next to him, applying eye drops to keep Alex's eyes from drying out, was in fact an actual doctor who needed to be there applying those drops or McDowell risked becoming permanently blinded. Still, even with those precautions, the apparatus scratched McDowell's cornea so severely that he wanted to stop the shoot. Instead of halting production until it healed, Kubrick told him, "Let's go on with the scene, I'll favor your other eye." So when you see Alex sitting there in the straitjacket with his eyes pried open by the lid locks, screaming for them to stop it, we have no idea how much of that was acting. We're guessing neither did Kubrick. According to Cracked.com http://www.cracked.com/article_1990...ade-possible-by-reckless-endangerment_p2.html
The Bar Scene in Star Wars reminds me of what you would encounter in many local bars in Oklahoma City. "Watch your step, this place can be a little rough"
This movie is dated, but the Alfred Newman theme music is still kicka$$, 45 years later (and of course it goes through my mind whenever I travel by air). Check out the Snoopy flying ace doll in the control tower at 2:42
Like, gag me with a spoon, like, TOTALLY. Barf out, I'm so sure! and as a topping for that tasty morsel of an 80's movie
The crash scene in Denzel Washington's movie "Flight" is so intense! I saw it in the theater and my heart was racing, butterflies in the stomach!
