I haven't posted a new topic in a long time. Here's a new one.
Name a really good scene that takes place in the rain.
The Tears In Rain scene from Blade Runner is a good one:

Although it is something of a cliché having a battle scene in the rain, I've always enjoyed the one at the end of The Thirteenth Warrior.
Dangit, Bob, once again you beat me to it. Yes, Gene Kelly, Singing in the Rain. Perfect rain scene, and proof straight white men can dance with the best.
Though the whole movie is at YouTube, not a clip of the thunderstorm scene when Mary Henry is lying in bed looking out the window of her room one night, but that portion of the soundtrack is and it's less than a minute :

The scenes in Identity (most are in the rain).

I watched that one recently and it's really good, the rain certainly helps a lot to the mysterious mood of the movie. John Cusack is great as always. Nice catch!
Not from a movie, but...

(Not the original English dialog; some one re-redubbed it, probably to give a marginally more-accurate translation. Can't find the original.) :/

There's a scene in a SA movie called Ballade Vir 'n Enkeling [Ballad For A Single Guy] which takes place in the rain: apparently the actors in that scene got the flu. :buggedout:
The whole movie the OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) takes place in a thunderstorm.
The blonde girl is Gloria Stuart, who died in 2010 at the age of 100. She was the old woman in the TITANIC (1997)

The final scene in FREAKS (1932) when the freaks crawl through the mud in the thunderstorm to extract their revenge.

Having the final battle in a downpour was likely a nod to Kurosawa. He was known for setting up key scenes under heavy rain.
Look at this article. (https://www2.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/features/how-akira-kurosawa-films-weather)
As for "The 13th Warrior", I like the film more than I should, but I hate the abrupt editing. A lot was cut / re-shot during post-production and I'd love to see a longer cut.
Lair of the White Worm
Review at this website.
As the scene opens, we see a homely boy scout, standing by the side of the road, in the rain, trying to thumb a ride to the nearest youth hostel. His first attempt ends in failure; but, then he is picked up by a beautiful woman driving a Jaq XKE; but then, instead of taking him to the youth hostel, she takes him to her home, where she sexually teases him "My, you are a fine growing boy," plays Snake 'n' Ladders with him, and has him take off all that he has on, so she can give him a sponge bath with a loofah sponge in the sunken tub in her bathroom; and when, she has bathed the top half of his nude body, she has him stand up in the tub "Stand up. We're not finished yet;" so she can wash him "properly;" and when her head dips down and disappears in his groin area, this 15-year-old virgin thinks he is going to get his first sexual experience from a woman. He gets it, and how, but it is not what he was expecting.
This scene is so good that couples recreate it from the beginning to the ending, for their own pleasure.
David Fincher's Seven has many good scenes like this.
