**Favorite Movie Scene** 1. Singing La Marseillaise in Casablanca 2. Alec Baldwin’s only scene in _Glengarry Glen Ross_ 3. Spock’s death in _Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan_ 4. Dave deactivates HAL in _2001: A Space Odyssey_ 5. John and friends battled the Glove musically in _Yellow Submarine_ 6. Gene Kelly and Donald O’Connor dance, “Moses Supposes” from _Singing in the Rain_ 7. Walter Sobchak telling The Dude “I can get you a toe” from _The Big Lebowski_ 8. The entire robbery/chase scene in _Raising Arizona_ It begins and ends with a package of Pampers. Best part is when Cage’s character enters a supermarket, and the background yodeling banjo changes to Muzak, then back to banjo when his character exits. ---
