Great Movie Moments
My husband and I were talking about great moments in cinema, and it just got me to thinking about some great moments in my cinematic experience. Look, there will be no references to Citizen Kane or Frank Capra, so move on if that's what you're expecting.
1. This Christmas: Cheating husband is lured out of the shower onto a floor covered with baby oil. His wife is waiting with a belt in hand. She spanks the living snot out of him. He tries to get up, slips on the floor and gets spanked some more.
2. Curse of the Golden Flower: Troubled emperor rips off his heavy gold belt and spanks his unappreciative son's behind to the point where the multiple layers of son's robes are ripped through to the skin. (You must see this to appreciate it.)
3. Blacula: (Moment of silence) Where do I start? Should it be where the recently deceased taxi driver is removed from the freezer and allowed to thaw so that she can run down the hallway and shred the pathologist to pieces?
4.Tales from the Hood: Two words-slave dolls. Slavery has always been a scary subject for me, but when an old lady channels the spirits of slaves into little dolls--it goes to another level.
5. Aliens: Where should I start? Bill Paxton: "There's something moving in here and it ain't us"? The prospect of space spiders implanting a chest bursting parasite into my chest is just too much. On top of that, the aliens whooped up on the Marines. You can't just beat up on the Marines.
6. Dawn of the Dead(2004): I always check my front door because of this one. Whose brilliant idea was it make zombies run and jump? They were already scary being dead and all, but no! Little rollerblading Vivian had to break into the heroine's house and go all "Crouching Tiger." Zombies should not run. Ever.
7. Deep Blue Sea: Shark meets Sam Jackson's head during a motivational monologue.
8. The Rainmaker: And you thought civil litigation was boring. Randy Travis jumps out of a jury box and pummels Jon Voight. Then when the melee is over, Danny De Vito brings Voight the shoe that was left behind during the attack.
9. Ron Burgundy-Anchorman: Who can for get the street fight amongst all the new anchors? Even public television got in on the fight. Then to make the wheeze factor even higher, someone gets dragged from the alley in a net a la Planet of the Apes.
10. In the Heat of the Night: Sidney Poitier slaps the dying south in the face. Philly cop Virgil Tibbs helps investigate a murder down south. When questioning a member of the old establishment, Virgil gets backhanded. Instantaneously, Virgil slaps him back. There's so little spoken, but the silence says everything. A gem in that scene is actor Jester Hairston who walks away from Mr. Establishment as he cries like a girl. The death of the Old South done right.
