my favorite movie scenes, the list noone asked for

some of these are cryptic to avoid ruining the surprise. if you see the movie you’d know.

cinema only. no tv, no shorts.

first tier - ranked-ish

ratatouille - Ego’s review
Wolf children snow
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure - bar
Speed Racer Royalton’s speech - “Are you ready to put away your toys and grow up? Are you ready to make more money in one year than your father made in his whole life? Are you ready to become a π—₯π—˜π—”π—Ÿ race car driver?”
the endless summer - everyone dreams of finding a place as good as malibu or rincon.
Ratatouille ending (“Surprise me!")
speed racer - will you sit and talk with your old man?
batman & robin Poison Ivy unveiling
WALLΒ·E (2008) - opening
hardcore henry - motorcycle minigun
Wolf children fox training
Fantasia 2000 Flamingoes - on a proper 24 fps display (properly set up tv, not most pc monitors), the music is in perfect sync and it rules. I mentioned this YEARS ago with my little pony, same principle. i don’t know how common it is in live action (precision dancing to 1/24 of a second?). but in at least MLP and maybe other animation, you can move EXACTLY on the beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v235JEQFHYw
