Title: Favorite Scenes in a War Movie
Post by: Shuckins on June 27, 2007, 01:46:36 PM
In Harm's War is playing on TCM.  Just witnessed one of my favorite scenes in a war movie:

"Goodbye Commander.  Enjoy it."

"What do you suppose he meant by that?"

"Well aren't you leaving with Broderick?"

"No."

"I think you are."

"Now wait a..."  

"Now I don't care how you do it but you better be on that plane with Broderick...unless you want to be buried on the island of Gava Vutu."  

"You can't do this..."



"I am doing it.  Now we've got a job to do here on Gava Vutu and neither you nor Broderick or anybody else is gonna screw it up......  Understand?  Hmm? And take this punk with you."

That sprint to the SS company taking a break, where the smoke grenade Winters uses to time the attack misfires.
There's probably a few at the top of my list, but that's the first I thought of.

It's hard to beat these:

Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.


Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost rider requesting a flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: That's a negative Ghost rider, the pattern is full.


Carole: Hey Goose you big stud!
Goose: That's me, honey.
Carole: Take me to bed or lose me forever.
Goose: Show me the way home, honey.


Iceman: The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.


Maverick: I feel the need...
Maverick, Goose: ...the need for speed!


Maverick: Jesus, this guy's good!
Viper: Damn, this kid is good!


Goose: Come on, Mav, do some of that pilot s@!


Iceman: You can be my wingman any time.
Maverick: B#S*! You can be mine.

Bridge over the River Kwai - Where the Brits initially march into the camp whistling "Corporal Bogey" followed by the confrontation with Col. Saito over the Geneva Convention. Also the final scene "What have I done..."

Battle of Britain - "Help yourselves everybody, there's no escort"

Waterloo - Farewell to the Old Guard

Zulu - The Singing competition between the Zulus and the Welsh - "Men of Harlech"

Breaker Morant - the Boer attack on the Prison and Morant's "Rule .303 speech"

All time favorite - Cruel Sea - The men in the water with the U-boat underneath them dilemma.

Those are just a few that come to mind...

In Paths of Glory when the two men are arguing about which is the best and most painless way to die. But in the end they both agree that nobody wants to die.

In the 1994 Film Stalingrad. When Rollo and Von Witzland go to search for wounded. GG wants to go help them, when the older Soldier grabs him and tells him to stay put. He says

"You look like my son back home"

GG: "How old is he?"

"Three"

Yes, very unforgettable.  At that point in the movie, I had stabbed myself in the leg with my OWN knife so as to escape the pain of what a horrible movie it is.

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:   "Tonight, you men will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl's name because this is the only p*ssy you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging ol' Mary J. Rottencrotch through her pertty pink panties are over! You're married to this piece. This weapon of iron and wood. And you will be faithful. "

The scene in The Wild Geese where Richard Burton is a hitman on a job and there is a closeup of the door and all of a sudden a fist punches through the door and releases a hand grenade.  That was a pretty cool camera shot.


Guess my favorite scene is where Slim Pickens rides the bomb in Dr. Strangelove.  Lots of good scenes in that movie.


Another good scene is the train wreck caused by Burt Lancaster in The Train.  That one was done with real trains.


Murphy's War had some good scenes with the gasoline bombs Murphy dropped from his plane.  Also the end where he sank the German submarine using a barge and one of the sub's own torpedoes which he recovered from the beach.

The Battle of Britain: Micheal Caine waiting in his spitfire:
The engine's overheating and so am I....either we stand down or blow up. Now which do you want?
The Poles fly off and leave their commander alone:
SILENCE IN POLISH!

A Bridge too Far: Sean Connery assesing his situation:
I've got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. My original plan has been scuppered now that the jeeps haven't arrived and my communications are completely broken down....do you really believe any of that can be helped by a cup of tea?

The Odd Angry Shot: Welcome to Patrol two two, specialists in arson, murder and drinking

12 O'Clock High: The scene when Gregory Peck finds out the air crews have withdrawn their complaints

The Wild Geese: The training montage:
Some of you know me already! Those of you who don't are in for a great big ****ing surprise! For those of you who do, can expect an infinitely more horrible time than they can remember. Any man here who steps out of line and I will kill stone dead. It will not worry me in the slightest...there are no Queen's regulations here. When I say jump, you ask how high...do I make myself clear?
I want to hear it! Do I make myself clear?
RIGHT! On the command Right and Left turn, A and B squads turn to the right, C and D squads turn to the left.
SQUADS! Right and Left TURN!
Right...let's try for our first heart attack shall we!
