Things in movies you loved.

War of the worlds. I loved the martian war machines.  Not actually with legs but far easier to film and still quite beautiful,  but still deadly,  looking.

Lgan's run: those guns were  nothing like in the novel,  but very iconic and stylish,  almost an epitome of a SF gun.


Close encounters of the third kind: the mother ship.  Duh!

Clash of the titans: the mechanical owl.

Let's see . . .

That moment in THE PATRIOT where Ben Martin negotiates for the release of his men, then, as he is leaving the fort, whistles loudly - and General Cornwallis' dogs follow him off!
And the part in O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU when they pick up George Nelson and he opens up on the cattle with a Tommy gun, prompting the famous line: "Oh, George, not the livestock!"
And the powerful scene in LUTHER (2004), when Martin Luther presents his longtime protector and patron, Frederick of Saxony, with the first copy of the New Testament in the common language of the German people.  The way the old man's hands trembled when he reached for that Bible . . .

 Frederick the Wise. Who in the movie was played by the great Peter Ustinov. There is not a movie of his that I have seen, in which, he did not add something to it. We talk about people being missed, when it comes to actors, he is one I truly miss.

MANDY: The cheddar goblin!

There was a scene in the 2004 version of THE ALAMO, when David Crockett and the last handful of his Tennesseans took refuge in the chapel as the fort is being overrun by Santa Anna's army.  Just before they make their final charge, he looks over and sees 10 year old Enrique Esparza staring at him from the room where the women and children were hiding. And Crockett manages to give the boy a grin and a wink before charging out to meet his fate.  It's a powerful moment in a powerful film.

No one asked "how could a hologram talk? "
