Mulholland Drive - "Llorando" Theatre Scene

Before seeing Mulholland Drive, I always just thought of David Lynch as making these movies that are impossible to follow. If I am to be perfectly honest, I always thought they were really pretentious.

After seeing Mulholland Drive, all of that changed. I am now a huge David Lynch fan.

I can't even explain what Mulholland Drive is about, all I know is that I couldn't take my eyes off of the movie.

Sometimes, I believe people have to "get it" before they can like a film. I used to be one of these kind of people. But after watching Mulholland Drive 3 times now, I still don't know how to right a synopsis on it. I still don't know how to explain the movie to other people.

I think that's why I especially love the movie. It feels like its "my movie", I see something really amazing about a film that if you grabbed the average person off the street and told him to watch it, they would shut it off after 15 minutes. It feels like my own hidden secret.

Mulholland Drive is so incredibly surreal and moody. Its immaculately shot and pictured.

I also felt incredibly paranoid after the ending of the film. To be honest, I watched a film since Psycho that let me in such a paranoid state after it was over. If you can watch a movie and be that completely engaged and it creates that kind of emotion form you, then you know you've seen something special.

The last thing you want to do while watching a movie is be looking at you're watch or thinking about errands you have to run. I can safely say that did not happen to me while I was watching Mulholland Drive.

Rocky - The Philadelphia Steps

Rocky is the reason that people go to the movies. We all want to be taken away out of our daily lives and see something inspiring.

I wasn't even alive when the original Rocky came out but from what I heard going to see it in the movie theaters was like a religious experience. Towards the end of the movie, people went crazy cheering, like it was a real boxing match.

Now, I've never had the pleasure of actually seeing Rocky in a movie theater full of people, but I can say this: Every single time I've watched it, I'm always uplifted. I can't even count how many times I've seen the movie it always has the same effect.

Rocky is the piece of Americana that we want to believe in. Its the story where the little guy actually has a shot.

No scene is more classic than the training montage where he finishes going up the famous Philadelphia steps. The moment you hear those horns enter, your blood instantly starts to flow. You feel like going to your local gym to take boxing lessons. Rocky is the reason why movies were created.

Dog Day Afternoon - Attica Scene

Dog Day Afternoon is an incredibly daring film of two guys who go to rob a bank to pay for a lover's sex change operation. However, things don't go smoothly and they get stuck in the bank and all of a sudden its a hostage negotiation and a media circus.

To make a movie with those kind of homosexual themes and to star one of the most well known actors (Pacino) and directors (Sydney Lumet) is mind blowing for 1975. I don't even think you'd see that kind of risk taking today (certainly not in mainstream films).

Needless to Pacino IS Dog Day Afternoon. He is just simply a force. Your eyes are automatically glued to him in every single scene.

The scene above is the film's most recognizable. You can see how much Pacino commits and the amazing thing is the crowd roots for him. It really captures the mood and atmosphere of the 70s.

Heat - De Niro & Pacino in the Same Scene

Besides Heat, the only movie that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were in together was the Godfather Part II. Unfortunately, they didn't have any scenes together. But in Heat, they have one, and its a doozy.

The film deals with two very strong willed men. One is a cop (Al Pacino) & and one is a robber (Robert De Niro). The film deals with this intense cat & mouse between the two.

But this is THE SCENE. Its the scene that everybody saw in the trailer for the film and made them go see the movie. The scene involves two of the greatest actors of their generation just going toe to toe. They're such great actors, that in the film, its hardly to really root for somebody. I know tradition always says you root for the good guy, but its hard to do that in "Heat". You just want them to keep it going.

I guess that why Heat is such a gem of a movie. There really is no protagonist. Its kind of a share role between De Niro and Pacino. They both count on each other to move the film along.

The Shining - Here's Johnny

Another Kubrick classic, The Shinning takes a look at what cabin fever can do to a man. This is probably Kubrick's most commercial film, yet its one of his finest.

The Shining isn't like most suspense-horror films. Whereas, the traditional horror film, tries to scare you from the moment you sit down, The Shining takes its time. Some people (not me) might even consider the movie a little slow for the first half. That's the beauty of it! Kubrick takes the time to show the audience the monotonous of living in a cabin away from civilization in the middle of winter. There isn't a whole lot of excitement. You can feel how that could have an effect on the characters.

This scene is just pure JACK. He gives the scene just this great combination of fright yet you're really enjoying it. You can tell he's having a lot of fun with it. And of course, you have that iconic line, where Jack puts his face through a hole in the door that he just tore down and says "Here's Johnny"!

Seven - What's In the Box! Scene

I think David Fincher (director of Seven) is a genius. I think he is one of the few types of directors who can make an overtly commercialized film with a lot of integrity.

Seven is no different. Its a gritty, yet stylized suspense-drama. The story revolves around a newbie cop (Brad Pitt) becoming partners with an old veteran (Morgan Freeman) as they try to catch a homicidal maniac who keeps killing people based on one of the seven deadly sins they commit.

The "What's in the box" just builds so beautifully. I love the sloppy handheld shooting towards the end where Pitt's character is contemplating to kill Spacey's character.

Silence of Lambs Screaming Lambs Scene

The Silence of the Lambs was the last suspense-horror film to win an Oscar for Best Picture.

In this scene, the tension is so thick, you can cut it with a knife. Its absolutely mesmorizing. Look at the anxiousness in Clarice as she paces back and forth in the room. It shows her perspective looking at Hannibal as well as well as Hannibal's perspective looking at Clarice. It just helps start this anxious scene.

Also look at, Anthony Hopkins face throughout that scene. His eyes don't even blink! Its like he has no body. Its just a voice and a mouth working. The rest of his body seems suspended. And how can you not love his delivery of the lines. Its so elegant yet incredibly. The topper is when he hands her the file and just brushes her hand. Here is a sociopathic, cannibalistic murderer having his first contact with a woman since being imprisoned. If that doesn't creep you out. I'm afraid nothing will.
