Tales From The Yellow Brick Road

I don’t think they’ve gone far enough…

Here are a few of my favorite movie moments (in no particular order)… what are yours?

1. “Elizabethtown” - The phone conversation between Will (Orlando Bloom) and Claire (Kirsten Dunst) while they each go about their lives and talk for hours on end. When they meet in person, they realize the phone was better.

2. “Seabiscuit” - When Tom Smith (Chris Cooper) is trying to get Seabiscuit to calm down and tries using a goat. The goat then is launched through the air from the stable by the horse.

3. “Lord Of The Rings” - When Merry (Dominic Monighan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) light the dragon firework at Bilbo’s (Ian Holm) birthday party. Pippin’s scream is hilarious.

4. “The Matrix” - The entire conversation between the Oracle (Gloria Foster) and Neo (Keanu Reeves). I think that was the scene the made me like the movie despite Keanu Reeves.

5. “Amadeus” - The final scene where Solieri’s (F. Murray Abraham) story and bitterness devestates the Priest (Herman Meckler) and assures the audience that Solieri belongs in the institution.

Here are 10 movies I want to see before the end of the year (in no particular order):

1. Vantage Point
2. 88 Minutes
3. The Dark Night
4. Juno
5. Swing Vote
6. Zodiac
7. Live Free Or Die Hard
8. The Kite Runner
9. There Will Be Blood
10. “12″
