> [@blondebear](#): > > Best western gunfight scene: Ha! Too many to choose from. I’ll nominate _Silverado_. Surely it must be the three way gunfight between, Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef in **The Good, the Bad and the Ugly**. The build up and tension as the three antagonist stare at each other waiting for someone to draw. And then suddenly “POW”. It’s over in a second. I love that scene. Best no gravity scene: Opening credits of **Barbarella**. Jane Fonda was hot back then. The best first introduction to your Daddy: \*\*Star Wars Empire Strikes Back. \*\* “Luke, I’m your Daddy”. Best hanging on the cross scene: Monty Python’s, **The Life of Brian**. “Always look on the bright side of life!” Whistle… The best stoning scene: Also **Life of Brian**. “Right! Who threw that?” And the best use of irony: Again **Life of Brian**. Brian addressing the crowd. Brian: “You are all individuals!” Crowd: “Yes, we are all individuals!” One voice out of the crowd: “I’m not.” ---

Another vote for _Rob Roy_ as best swordfight. Best chase scene hands down is Buster Keaton’s _Seven Chances_, followed closely by his _The General_. ---
