Spoiler below: Don't read if you don't want to know part of the movie.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOMG, when the kid got shot in the foot!!! AW MAN!! I \n\nreally didn't see that coming!  It was just so powerful!!  I \n\nwas a bit traumatized because I believe that things like \n\nthat might actually happen in the barrios of Brazil.  Truth \n\nbe told I almost cried!! (ALMOST)

If I recall, after that scene where his brother Yuri dies, he goes back to New York and gets caught by that weapons inspector, "something Valentine".  \n\nMr. Valentine brings in Nicolas Cage into interrogation and Nicolas Cage tells Mr. Valentine that someone will come knocking on the door to set him free as weapons trade is a necessity in the world.  Soon enough, some army man comes and talks to Mr. Valentine and Nicolas Cage's character is set free, back to selling more weapons to world leaders.  \n\nSomewhat shocking, in a sense, because the movie is based off of real events.  Even if that's not what really happens, you cannot deny the amount of firearm in the world today.  Makes you wonder, do you feel lucky, punk?

I loved it!!!! It was one of my favorite movies of all time. The gospel was beautifully shown in the movie and that is what I loved about it. It is an awesome way to witness to a non-believer.

Hello, \nI am a huge hitchcock fan - and I've seen the movie many times, so I hope this helps. \n\nThe scene starts off with a stage covered in giant eyeballs, the camera continuously zooms in on the eyes, creating a dillusional effect. The camera zooms up from the bottom , and then shoots down from the top, this causes a dizzy feeling. The scene thenturns to a shady looking man running along a high roof top of London, the man is wearing a pantyhoe over his head (he looks like a thief). The man then falls off of the roof and into what seems an animated swirling well. This jolts your stomach, becuase the camera begins to swirl round and round with the well also, suddenly, a little boy slides down the railing outside of a house holding scissors in his hand, pointing outwards. Then he slides down the railing he stabs a child's back. (very disturbing part of the scene). The camera at this point zooms in on the stabbed childs face - eyeballs roll back mouth drops and child falls. The stabber looks on with a smile. \n\nHope this helps - the movie is great \nDave

Favorite Scene - (I hate to say this) - Naked wrestling scene between Borat and Azamat. \nLeast Favorite - When he takes Luenell to the country dance club, I thought that scene was a little boring.

Dogma\n\nIt highlights some questions and points made be modern day theology about God and the many religions that stem from his existence.  It's an educational movie as well as being very entertaining.\n\nThe Star Wars saga.\n\nI just liked it.

I don't expect to be picked because the answer was already here: Orlando.  This was the first time I ever saw Tilda Swinton, when the movie was quite recent, and she still gives me chills with her brilliance through various parts of modern history (anything since the Renaissance is considered modern) and truly blurring the lines between male and female.  \nMy review is available below...

I just watched this film tonight.\n\nImagine witnessing a car wreck ahead.  You get out of your car and walk up to the vehicle.  All the passengers are dead.  The driver who was thrown from the vehicle is lying in the road on his death bed.  The next 10 minutes of your life is an experience that will change you.  How could you explain in just a few words such an event?  "Stay" tries illustrate it in film.\n\nMy interpretation is that the film attempts to illustrate\nthe emotions and involvement in the event of a young man's life passing on the highway.  More specifically, how Sam (Ewan McGregor) felt during the event and how it effects his view on his own life.  The reason Sam is affected so much is because he was able to relate to Henry (the dying driver).\n\nTo me the film was moving and I am sure is widely misunderstood.  Illustrating human emotion during tragedy is a difficult task. Tragedy can be a confusing, mindbending, and emotional experience. Some people loose their mind in some tragic experiences.  "Stay" did an excellent job of illustrating in film the un-illustratable.

One of my main movie picks ~ City of Angels~ I watch it with my sister ,she isn't alive ,and the film makes me feel closer to her.\n\nGL\n  \n\nMemorable Quotes from \nCity of Angels (1998) \n\nSusan: What good would wings be if you couldn't feel the wind on your face? \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nMaggie Rice: When they ask me what I liked best, I'll say it was you. \n\nMaggie: Something happened in that room. I got this jolt that... something bigger is out there. Something bigger than me, bigger than you. Does that sound crazy? \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nMaggie: Why do you wear the same clothes all the time? Why won't you give me your phone number? Are you married? \nSeth: No. \nMaggie: Are you homeless? \nSeth: No. \nMaggie: Are you a drummer? \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSeth: What's that like? What's it taste like? Describe it like Hemingway. \nMaggie Rice: Well, it tastes like a pear. You don't know what a pear tastes like? \nSeth: I don't know what a pear tastes like to you. \nMaggie Rice: Sweet, juicy, soft on your tongue, grainy like a sugary sand that dissolves in your mouth. How's that? \nSeth: It's perfect. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSeth: I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it. One. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSeth: Some things are true whether you believe in them or not. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nMaggie: No dying yet, Mr. Messinger. Not until you give me Seth's phone number. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nMaggie: What happened? \nSeth: Free will. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nNathaniel Messinger: [to Seth] I can't see you, but I know you're there. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nSeth: The little girl asked if she could be an angel. \nCassiel: They all want wings. \nSeth: I never know what to say. \nCassiel: Tell them the truth. Angels aren't human. We were never human. \nSeth: What if I just make her a little pair of wings out of paper?

The English Patient.\n\nIt was one of the best love stories of all time and it had unfortunate circumstances arise due to this couples relationship. I cried my eyes out over this movie.

It describes the poverty in some arias of Rio de Janeiro.Hmm..good question..If it shows poor people,and violence,why is it called "City of GOD"?Why of God?Mabe because it ilustrates a city forgotten by Him..There is also a book called"The city of God" that illustrates the conflict between the city of man,and that one of God.Mabe they were inspired in some way by this book...

Whew-- Here's a question to all those who post about religious folks and non-religious folks... Are we ever going to settle this? Yeah didn't think so.\nStill I commend Wrathpuppet and the more thoughtful responders by espousing their beliefs in as clear a manner as possible, and Schneb- That's got to be one of your shorter replies, kudos on the mutual respect.\n\nI'm going to shy away from a grandiose analogy, for a simpler one that might still fit.\n\nEver went to see a movie the day it came out, was blown away by it, and when you told your friends they needed to see it, and right away, they blew you off? Ya know like they'd heard bad reviews, or just didn't think the material was something they were interested in. But it's killing you because you love and respect these people and you wish them to share in this wonderful cinematic experience... and you're sure if they would just take the time and go, they'd thank you for it later? ** to carry this theme out... it's not that you believe these folks (that you're trying to tell about this great movie) have never seen a good picture before or that they couldn't discover it on their own, it's just that it was SO good for you, SO moving, SO vital, that you really believed if they never saw it, their life would not be as rich as if they had.\n\nShortest answer possible, they think they're doing you a favor or a kindness, you may already have an interesting life that has happiness in it, but they fear for your eternal happiness. \n\nI for one will leave each to their own, and only try an help the ones who say they are unhappy or in some need, and the answer from me rarely will have religious overtones. \n\nMy God is just love. Wrath, judgement, the need to be worshipped and obeyed are the attributes of other's Gods. \n\nThe afterlife does not hold auditions.

The Christening montage in "The Godfather".  It was well directed, edited and purely was the turning point in the film.  It also showed the power of Michael Corleone.
