Psycho The Last Scene

I can't begin to tell you how much The last scene in Psycho freaks me out. I know this is a cliche, but I believe it to be 100% truth: Psycho is the scariest movie of all time.

I remember seeing it for the 1st time when I was 15 years old. I was at home by myself and I was bored. There was nothing on TV. I saw that Psycho was coming on in about 5 minutes. It was on CBS so I had to see it with the commercials. My initial thought was this was probably scary back then I'm sure it doesn't hold up to today.

Cut to two hours later and me in the fetal position. There has never been a movie, even to this day that had this kind of effect on me. All I need to do is just think about the music (those damn violins) or just hear Norman's mom's voice and I'll get full a body shiver with a sprinkling of goosebumps.

I think I'm one of the few people in the world who doesn't think the shower scene is the scariest scene in Psycho. I think there are about 10 other scenes that I'd put ahead of it as far as fright is concerned.

The last scene is the absolute kicker. I don't want to give too much away, in case you're one of the 10 people who've never seen Psycho, because its really scary when you know the story behind the movie and its taken into context. Let me just say, this scene takes my breath away, LITERALLY! All the oxygen just to seems to escape my lungs and I'm not able to get it back.

Pulp Fiction - The Adrenaline Shot Scene

WARNING: If you are a little squeemish of needles you might not want to click play.

Pulp Fiction is a massive, epic story of the LA underworld. It involves, gangsters, rapists, thieves, and every other kind of low life you could think of. All the stories intertwine. You could name about a thousand movies that copied this formula after 1994.

Prior to this scene, Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) has accidently mistaken Vincent Vega's heroin for cocaine and snorts the heroin, which causes her to have an overdose.

The next scene (the one above) Vincent hurries to his local drug dealer, Lance (Eric Stoltz) to get an adrenaline shot so they could sace Mia's life.

The scene handles realy dark tones with this very uncomfortable It's kind of saying to us "should we really be laughing at this?" Check out some Quentin Tarrantino (director) does with some of these. Just look at how uncomfortably close he gets to the faces of Travolta, Stolts, the needle. It adds to the heightened sense suspense. You have a hard time watching it, but you're absolutely fixated on what's going to happen.

PS I just love the body language of Lance as he watches Vincent drive his car right through his lawn. It's just so "Look at what this asshole is doing".

Glengarry Glen Ross - Alec Baldwin ABC Scene

In the film Glengarry Glen Ross, you have legendary actors such as Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, and Jack Lemmon. Bur it's Alec Baldwin who steals the whole move in about 7 minutes.

The movie was written by David Mamet. His dialogue just has so much bite and backbone. His script shows the dispair of the lives of struggling real estate salesman so perfectly.

In this memorable scene, Alec Baldwin plays a big wig for the real esate brokerage company. He comes in to give the salesmen a "pep talk". He is absolutely vicious. I can't imagine how much this hurt the recruitment of realtors :)
