Just the good part

Cafe Society
1

Pick a movie. Any movie. Or maybe a TV series, if you like. New, old, good movie, bad movie, doesn’t matter.

Tell me about just the good part, the best part, be it a single line, a whole scene, an action sequence, a dialogue exchange, whatever it is you consider to be the best part of the movie.

Examples:

Titanic - I’ve not actually ever seen this movie, but I have seen clips and if I had to guess, I would have to imagine the best part of this movie is when the boat sinks.

The Hot Spot - when Jennifer Connelly is topless at the waterin’ hole (duh!).

The Karate Kid - the entire training section of the movie (Wax on, wax off!).

Bullitt - the chase scene (again, duh!).

2

*Se7en *- WHEN Gwyneth Paltrow loses her head. It gets funnier and funnier every time I see it.

Red - Bruce Willis firing at Karl Urban while the car he is in is still in motion.
Red - John Malkovich wasting a CIA/NSA agent.

In Winter’s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence’s character is showing her little brother how to clean a squirrel. She sticks her thumb into the slit cut in the squirrel’s belly and starts thumbing out the “lights.” (Innards.) Her brother asks her, “Do we eat that?”
As the intestines drop to the ground she says, “Not yet.”
