My Ten Favorite Movie Scenes of All-Time

I was bored and did this in Business and Public Policy class. I decided I needed to share with the world what I thought makes a good movie scene.

1.)  Scene must be able to stand on its own as good but work within the context of the movie. AND

Must satisfy one or more of the following requirements:

A.)  Incorporate witty dialogue or banter

B.)  Involve cycling and/or cycling icons

C.)  Incorporate some form of teleportation, regardless of scientific feasibility

D.)  Increase complexity of general concept of villainy

E.)  Blow lots of shit up

F.)   Motivate me to win the cold war via a boxing training montage

Apologies in advance for the plethora of Matt Damon on this list. Total coincidence.

10.) Breaking Away, “The Truck Scene.” The sleeper pick. I got into this movie when I started biking in college. This is far and away the best scene in the movie.

9.) Rocky IV, “Defeat Dolph Lundren, Win the Cold War.” Is there anything that makes me feel more patriotic aside from Glenn Beck?

8.)EuroTrip, “Scotty Doesn’t Know.” I don’t know why I find this scene hilarious, but I do.

7.) Princess Bridge,  “Battle of the Wits.” A classic go-to. Few would disagree.

6.) Dodgeball, “Lance Armstrong Cameo.” Classic Lance, in all his sarcastic, I’m better than you at everything, glory.

5.) Dark Night, “Prison Scene.” Just good ol’ fashioned acting. Fortunately, stuff blows up shortly after.

4.) Dogma, “Mobie the Golden Calf.” This scene never, ever, ever gets old.

3.) X-Men 2, “Nightcrawler.” Probably my favorite opening scene of all-time.

2.) Good Will Hunting,  “How do you like ‘dem apples?” Witty banter gets the girl. An inspiration to mediocre looking men everywhere.

And number 1…….

1.) Happy Gilmore vs Bob Barker. No movie scene will ever top this ever. Ever.

And there you have it. Feel free to add your own. But if you do, you have to write my policy paper too. Or my international management case. Or my accounting case. Really anything will suffice.

Schneider, out.
