I liked the opening to Watchmen.

Some of the money shots in the 90s/early 2000s disaster films were epic too... Deep Impact was very good, thought probably a bit dated now

To be fair, most of the scenes with Heath Ledger in that film are top quality.

Not that kind of deep impact btw, CelticTornado

Not many might know this one:

The original "Invasion of the body snatchers" where Donald Sutherland sees the ship being loaded with the pods as Amazing Grace is being blasted out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good call. But thats not the original. Thats the remake.

Not a fan of the rest of it, but the Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter.

You can make out the shadow of the helicopter if you look closely.

You know, there's just so many awesome scenes in pretty much every Kubrick movie. Impossible to pick just one because it then you to think of another and another.

2001 is just stuffed full of them. Monkeys, transition to the space station, hal not opening the doors, oh my god its full of stars.

Love it!

For anyone inrterested you should check out the documentary Room 237

The theories of a barmy lot of nut bags who believe the Shining was a commentary on the holocaust, or the genocide of the native american indians or possibly even proves the moon landings were fake.

Fascinating and barmy

Ridley Scott used that footage for the end scene of Blade Runner too, when the studio forced him into a happier ending.

If you are into the shining and Kubric in general, check out the documentary, Room 237.. Some interesting theories about Kubric's use of subliminal messages/themes throughout.

I think if i suggest to the wife just once more that we crank up the speakers, turn off the lights and put on 2001, I may end up single.

Ashamedly I also own a copy of 2010.

And all of the books.

I also like when the camera slowly zooms in on Jack's face and you can see that he's completely lost it, not in the wild, axe murderer kind of way, but more as that eerie, maniac plotting his next move against his wife and kid.

I also like the scene in the Godfather AFTER Freddo is killed, the shot of Michael staring out the window, you realise that he's worse than his father, his brothers and probably all of their associates, much more ruthless.

Loved The Game, the best scene is the one where he walks into his house to find it all trashed and White Rabbit Jefferson Airplane is playing
