My votes:
#1 - No Country For Old Men. I don't like the cheap cinematic trick of throwing in a loud noise to make people jump - that's very amateur - but the rest of the scene is gold. That guy's crazy! #2 - Lonesome Dove. It's an okay scene, but I don't like the thought of them not treating horses well. And wait - was this a movie? I thought it was a TV mini-series. If that's the case, it's not even eligible. #3 - Casablanca. I'm not really into the old movies. They just seem so stilted and faked.

Yes, LD is a miniseries
And that dude at the start is marrying Lyndsay on 2 1/2 Men about now.

Why the hell would I watch that scene from No Country more than once? It's one car crash and some mumbling. Oh, plus a compound fracture. Pass.
Lonesome Dove. Tommy Lee Jones kicking someone's ass never gets old. |

Fair enough. But I still would rather see Tommy Lee Jones beat the living hell out of some guy.

The funny thing is that I can go to a live play and I'll enjoy it just fine. I think it's because I know it's a play, so I shrug off the fact that it's on a stage and the actors are projecting and that sort of thing. But if it's a movie, I want to get lost in it and feel like it's really happening.

I love how he says something like, "Just let me sit here a minute". There's so much you can read into that about what's going through his mind.

No Country for Old Men takes the heat. And look at that f'in' bone.

This. It's a shame how many people have become to feel that CGI is what defines the quality of a movie. |
