Probably a scene or two from Waterworld or The Postman.

Definitely the scene with Tom Petty in The Postman.

Someone mentioned Pearl Harbor, the scene where Alec Baldwin says "we go now" when deciding to launch early comes to mind. Just a lot in that decision that would resonate through history, did a great job of capturing the raiders bravery before they even left the deck.

But the first one that came to mind when I saw this topic was the last scene in "we bought a zoo", when Damon describes how he met his wife. Almost redeems the movie.

Yeah, that was a good scene as well. I never could stand the idea of Alec Baldwin portraying Jimmy Doolittle, who was one of my heroes growing up. Still, this sequence does capture the general idea of the Doolittle raid fairly well (at least until you get to Ben Affleck and the other guy being there after the movie depicts these guys as having gotten their P-40s into the air during the Dec 7 raid, which was not the case).

---

Not to nitpick but Affleck and the other dudes character are loosely based on two Americans who did manage to get their P-40s airborne and shoot down a couple attacking Japanese planes. Also they apparently were partying pretty hard until around 6:30 am or so as well. Pretty crazy story all around. Landing at least once during lulls in the attacks to rearm. Flying while still dressed in tuxedos after their night of partying.

There was a long shot down a hallway scene in Exorcist 3 that still stays with me. For the few that have seen it you may recall it.

My point was not that the Affleck/other guy characters were completely made up (I am a nut about WWII history and aviation in particular, so I'm pretty familiar with Welch and Taylor). My issue was that neither Welch nor Taylor were aboard the USS Hornet on April 18, 1942 to take part in the Doolittle Raid.

Edit - in re-reading my post, looks like I didn't really make that clear. Sorry for the confusion.

That's a bad movie?

From "Poolhall Junkies" (2002)

From "Equilibrium" (2002)

Man, I love Poolhall Junkies.

From Dusk till Dawn starts off as a good movie then all of a sudden it completely goes off the rails about 30 minutes into the movie.

This scene from Anger Management


Oh, and that scene from Lion King when someone finally kills Mufasa

Pretty sure you should get banned for calling Equilibrium a bad movie.

The whole movie is greatness!

JLaw getting naked in Red Sparrow

The bar scene in Suicide Squad. That movie was such a dud but I remember thinking back and wondering why the movie couldn't be more that bar scene. It was just dialogue but captured what the movie should have focused on.

The speech by the President in Armageddon was pretty solid.

I'm the only one in the room who watches really bad movies. MARS NEEDS WOMEN from 1967 was made on a budget of $20,000. Martians come to Earth to capture five women to take back to Mars for breeding purposes.

One of the Martians (played by former Disney star Tommy Kirk) takes a lovely young lady to a planetarium to see a show about Mars. When the show is over he "corrects" statements by the Narrator about how much better a place Mars is than the show indicated, and there's sort of a weird poetry in the scene.

Plus, it gives you a good glimpse of Dallas in the 1960's.

Not a bad movie but maybe a standard chick flick....but the scene in Notting hill when he walks the street to ain't no sunshine when she's gone and the seasons change. It's a very well done scene.

Here's a random one.

Not a truly terrible movie but...

As a sucker for nature and animals, the last scene in "Fly Away Home". Beautifully shot with scenery of the SC wetlands and coast from the air, with 10000 miles by Mary Chaplin Carpenter as the music.
Couldn't find a great video of it.
