For reasons either that the scene was just too superb or that the rest of the movie sucks, what movie scenes can you watch over and over and don't need to watch the rest of the movie?

For something that was just too good, we have Spider-Man 2's train scene:

I still don't think any other superhero movie has shown heroism as well as this scene.

For a movie that I thought really sucked, but the scene was too good, we have Interstellar's docking:

Yeah, I didn't like the rest of the movie. All of it didn't make sense, but this scene just had the most intense dramatic moment with so much on the line. It is so good.

The future scenes of DOFP.

I don't know how its possible to not want to watch the rest of that.

[liquidtmd]

The trippy ass space long bit in Dr Strange when he's in training beat the crap out of the rest of the movie

 

[Gusy]

Who are you carrying all those bricks for anyway? God? Is that it? God?.....

 

[JCHandsom]

The Battle of Scarif in Rouge One.

 

[Speevy]

The future scenes of DOFP.




I don't know how its possible to not want to watch the rest of that.

No, the entire motel escape sequence is like GOAT suspense scene material. I want to watch the rest of the film, but that scene is so masterful in its execution.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Man Of Steel fight scenes

 

[Albino_Yeti]

The forest fight scene in Revenge of the Fallen. You get to see Optimus wreck shit all by himself.

The rest of the movie ain't worth it.

 

[Sephzilla]

The Matrix Reloaded

 

[Misha]

UP opening

the rest of the movie is fun but its on a different level

 

[Kurdel]

The Battle of Scarif in Rouge One.

Rogue has to be one of the most misspelled words ever

 

[Lys Skygge]

The highway chase in The Matrix: Reloaded. The rest of the movie sucks, but that highway chase is phenomenal.

 

[SomTervo]

Spidey's fight scene in Cap America Civil War

Trash the rest of the film

 

[JCHandsom]

Rogue has to be one of the most misspelled words ever

Godammit why am I even trying to get an English degree?

"I still don't think any other superhero movie has shown heroism as well as this scene."

Imo WW did raise the bar.

 

[djplaeskool]

I know many don't share the same affection for The International as a whole as I do, but a casual observer could watch the Guggenheim shootout scene and leave satisfied.

 

[AAK]

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Final Scene

Tekken Blood Vengeance Final Scene

For reasons either that the scene was just too superb or that the rest of the movie sucks, what movie scenes can you watch over and over and don't need to watch the rest of the movie?

I did this repeatedly in Social Network:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdiFzcpmmJc

The scene when Eduardo finds out about his shares getting diluted in the company. Andrew Garfield destroyed that scene.

 

[Sephzilla]

 

[SomedayTheFire]

The end credits of Batman vs Superman.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Opening credits to G.I. Joe: The Movie and The Lion King.

 

[Geist-]

The whole movie is great, but The Raid 2's final fight is exceptional even by itself.

[takriel]

We have a winner!

 

[duxstar]

https://youtu.be/ey1Z0VhAQdA

The end is amazing as well for different reasons, but this scene is built up to for hours

 

[Strangelove77]

So movies that suck except for one scene?

 

[ThLunarian]

Alec Baldwin's speech in Glengarry Glenross

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrhSLf0I-HM

I've never even seen the entire movie. I've seen bits and pieces but they're completely forgettable in the face of this clip

 

[kiri]

My man.

Godzilla 2014 is mostly boring and the other monster scenes are alright but nothing in it compares to the build up and pay off in this scene. Don't give a shit about this cutaway, it's awesome enough on it's own.

 

[ERotIC]

For a movie that I thought really sucked, but the scene was too good, we have Interstellar's docking:

That was my first thought. And I really like Interstellar, but that scene is something else.

 

[Sölf]

The whole movie is great, but The Raid 2's final fight is exceptional even by itself.

https://youtu.be/RCFwwSq10aU

Ooooh, yeah.

 

[Volimar]

Vader scene. End of Rogue One.

 

[AlexMogil]

I like Glengarry Glen Ross, the whole movie, but Alec Baldwin kills it in his motivational speech from Mitch and Murray.

Second place:

Set of steak knives.


I really like that movie a bunch.

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

The opening chase in the original Mad Max. I still like the rest of the film but it doesn't compare to the greatness of that scene. My most watched vhs as a kid. Those first 15 minutes were on loop all the damn time on my crap tv.

 

[nOoblet16]

I came here to post the Interstellar docking scene but the OP had it covered.

It's a fantastic scene, the music, the direction, the intensity it's just so good in that one part.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Always and forever:
Superman Returns - the Shuttle Rescue

It's the perfect five minute template for a Superman story.

 

[Malreyn]

Saving Private Ryan's opening Normandy Beach sequence .

 

[jph139]

The moment in the hallway, with the laser walls, where there's that quick moment of silence, Qui-Gon closing his eyes and meditating, Maul prowling like an animal watching him...

One of the GOAT Star Wars scenes, easily.

 

[Sulik2]

The highway sequence in Winter Soldier.

 

[PROh1bited]

Interstellar does not suck.

 

[Timeaisis]

The opening montage in Watchmen.

 

[mjc]

Interstellar does not suck.

Opinions, how do they work?

[SovanJedi]

What's the one terrible film that ends in the guy, having triggered a pressure mine, with a tiger running towards him, in the middle of a Colosseum, detonates the mine off and sends all of the above (plus some amazingly well-placed Coca Cola machines) off in a ball of flame?

 

[JonnyDBrit]

The moment in the hallway, with the laser walls, where there's that quick moment of silence, Qui-Gon closing his eyes and meditating, Maul prowling like an animal watching him...

One of the GOAT Star Wars scenes, easily.

It's a nice, short story contained within itself, complete with brief emotional arc for Obi-Wan. He wants vengeance, but still gets his ass handed to him. Then, he has to calm, focus, and call upon the weapon of his master for one final strike.

Shame of the rest of the prequels weren't so well done.

 

[PROh1bited]

Opinions, how do they work?

I dunno. You tell me.

 

[LakeEarth]

The intro to Backdoor Sluts 9. Right from the start, I'm interested. Then I get more interested. Then I get REALLY interested. Then suddenly, no interest at all. Strange, still haven't finished the movie.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Alec Baldwin's scene in Glengarry Glen Ross comes to mind, mostly just because its the scene everyone remembers despite being an addition by Mamet for the movie and the only scene in the entire movie that Baldwin's unnamed character is in.

 

[Sephzilla]

The moment in the hallway, with the laser walls, where there's that quick moment of silence, Qui-Gon closing his eyes and meditating, Maul prowling like an animal watching him...

One of the GOAT Star Wars scenes, easily.

It's easily the best lightsaber fight in the prequels
