[lactictac]

Please post some of your favorites here. YouTube is loaded with many.

I'll start ... slowly and with the almost religious fervor of music and art. Enjoy:


"Bagdad Cafe":

Another about music - Kubrick's "Paths of Glory," the final scene. Slow, again, give it a chance:

A turn towards the violent, as a father searches for his kidnapped daughter in "Taken":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVXLzcaMObg

 

[lactictac]

One more ultra-violent clip - no, not "A Clockwork Orange." Although ACO is certainly worthy. A scene set in hell on earth, in Japan, as the Ronin Hirayama Kojuro shows that bad guys what it's all about, from "13 Assassins":

Enjoy.

On your mention of violence,

The end-scene of The Last of The Mohicans

And for some fun :

THE scene from When Harry Met Sally
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-bsf2x-aeE

 

[lactictac]

Excellent all, but esp." When Harry ..." @ Katz's Deli - great pastrami on rye, mustard, sour and 1/2 sour pickles, fries and beer. Excellent! NYC traditional classic food. And film! I'm hungry ... or horny for food. )

Cycling? "2 Secondes." I Like the film, but the ending gets soap opera-ish. Nonetheless, some great concepts, images and characters:

Enjoy!

Not a film but a YouTube video clip - Cancellara's descent in the 2009 TdF - wow:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxXqQqAc2pA


Enjoy!

Another Ending scene, "The Searchers":

Enjoy!

 

[lactictac]

Another ending -"Sunset Blvd." - frightening:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMTT0LW0M_Y

Enjoy!

 

[El Imbatido]

I'll wait for the next one - Short French film with subtitles, only a few minutes long

Soft - Dont worry about the crappy quality in the first few minutes it is intentional.

Spider - Australian film with very good ending.

Nuit Blanche - Truely deep and touching short french film, no dialogue at all. Fimed almost entirely on green screen and using 3d rendering/modelling.

If you liked Nuit Blanche there is couple minutes long video on The Making of Nuit Blanche - Giving you a great behind the scenes look at 3d modelling, creations and use of green screen

 

[lactictac]

Great stuff - thanks!

Martial arts again, Muay Thai. This is from "Chocolate" aka "Fury," 2008 by Prachya Pinkaew. An autistic girl learns the martials arts immediately and just by watching. The star, Yanin, is a physical talent. The outtakes in black and white reveal the hard work and talent. I watched it a second time with a neighbor's autistic daughter ... enthralled:

Enjoy!

"Lessons of Darkness," (1992) Werner Herzog. The aftermath in Kuwait after the Gulf War/Desert Storm. Awesomely sad images:

If you were the right age in the mid to late seventies, this was your life, I know it was mine......

Enjoy!

 

[lactictac]

"Pan's Labyrinth" ("El Laberinto del Fauno"), a fine, fantasy, fairy tale of a film:

Enjoy!

Kubrick again, "The Shining": fear and comedy, 32 seconds worth:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7JB68sLGY8

Enjoy!

An under-rated gem, "The Countefeit Traitor." William Holden plays a Swedish- American during WW2. Sweden was neutral and Holden traded with everyone, Germany too. He is "asked" by the Allies to spy during his visits to Germany. He witnesses an atrocity. Heartbreaking:
