I forgot to mention "Revolution" from Across the Universe. I love how they framed it. That cover is now my preferred version of that song. "With A Little Help From My Friends" was also great in reminding me of all the fun I have with my friends.

"Still Alive" is the most addictive song ever. I think my girlfriend and I played that 600 times.

Sorry for reviving a decently old thread... damn you search function!!
 
Same here, although I can't for the life of me remember what my signature was at the time. :lol:

Agreed. Hot Fuzz is a perfectly constructed movie. Every individual piece, while not necessarily funny on its own, combines to form the Swiss watch masterpiece of all comedy. "Tah-dah...";)

The interrogation of Gaius Baltar in "Taking a Break from All Your Worries."
"Is she an angel or a demon? Is she my own voice or the voice of..."

Apollo's monologue in the courtroom in "Crossroads, Part 2."
"We're not a civilization anymore. We're a gang."

Definately agreed with the OP who mentioned Sam's death & Neville begging the mannequin to talk to him in I Am Legend. Also add to that list his confrontation with Fred at gunpoint.
"If you're real, you better tell me right now!"

The entire 2nd trailer for The Dark Knight.
"What do we got?"
"Nothing. No name. No other alias. Clothing is custom. Nothing in his pockets by knives & lint."
"Evening, Commissioner.... WHY SO SERIOUS!?!?"
