please share your personal favourite movie quotes and scenes.
here is an excerpt, from my second best scene of all time from the movie : Apocalypse Now ( 1979), my no 1 scene will be followed shortly. INT. KURTZ HEADQUARTERS - DAY Willard, hands tied behind his back, is guided down a long corridor, followed by two Montagnards, both armed. WILLARD (V.O.) It smelled like slow death in there. Malaria and nightmares. This was the end of the river, all right. They turn into the main room. The natives indicate for Willard to kneel down on the floor. The CAMERA MOVES, REVEALING KURTZ lying in shadow on a bed. We will SEE him only in darkness and shadow throughout the scene. KURTZ Where you from, Willard? WILLARD I'm from Ohio, sir. KURTZ Were you born there? WILLARD Yes, sire. KURTZ Whereabouts? WILLARD Toledo, sir. KURTZ How far are you from the river? WILLARD The Ohio River, sir? About two hundred miles. KURTZ I went down that river once when I was a kid. There's a place in the river, I can't remember...must have been a gardenia plantation, or a flower plantation at one time. It's all wild and overgrown now. But for about five miles, you'd think that heaven just fell on the earth, in the form of gardenias. Kurtz reaches down and picks up a bowl full of water. He splashes water on his face and head. KURTZ Have you ever considered, any real freedoms? Freedoms from the opinions of others. Even the opinions of yourself. Did they say why, Willard? Why they wanted to terminate my command? WILLARD I was sent on a classified mission, sir. KURTZ Its no longer classified, is it. What did they tell you? WILLARD They told me, that you had gone...totally insane. And that your methods were unsound. KURTZ Are my methods unsound? WILLARD I don't see any method at all, sir. KURTZ I expected someone like you. What did you expect? Are you an assassin? WILLARD I'm a soldier. We finally SEE KURTZ'S FACE. KURTZ You're neither. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill. |

My Favourite No 1 scene/dialogues of all time
Apocalypse Now (1979) ANGLE ON DOORWAY Kurtz enters in the darkness. KURTZ I've seem horrors. Horrors that you've seen. But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have a right to kill me. You have a right to do that. But you have no right to judge me. CLOSE-UP ON KURTZ Eating a piece of fruit. KURTZ It's impossible for words to describe what is necessary to those who do not know what horror means. Horror. Horror has a face. And you must make a friend of horror. Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies. ANOTHER ANGLE Colby is standing in the rear doorway of the main temple, going through a Tai Chi routine. Willard sits in front of him, looking at Kurtz, listening to him as he talks from the bed. A native WOMAN is there, listening as well. KURTZ I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate some children. We'd left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio. And this old man came running after us, and he was crying. He couldn't say. We went back there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. They they were, in a pile. A pile of little arms. And, I remember, I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget it. And then I realized, like I was shot, like I was shot with a diamond bullet through my forehead. And I thought, My God, the genius of that! The genius. The will to do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized, they were stronger than we. Because they could stand it. These were not monsters. These were men, strained cadres. These men who fought with their hearts, who have families, who have children, who are filled with love...that they had the strength, the strength to do that. If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral, and at the same time, who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion. Without judgment. Without Judgment. Because it's judgment that defeats us. CLOSE ON WILLARD He slowly raises his hand and examines it. KURTZ I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Willard, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything...
