    Favorite Moment/Scene in Fantasy/Sci-Fi Novel/Movie

    Goodness that was a lot of slash marks!

    Anyway, this is my favorite scene from LOTR Return of the King. Nay, the entire trilogy. (1:28)



    It just goes to show that Frodo would never have made it to Mordor without Samwise, which is why he is my favorite character from the series.
    I do not procrastinate! I'll give you three good reasons proving I don't, but not right now. Maybe later when I feel like it.

    I really like the scene in the movie Ladyhawke when Philippe Gaston "a.k.a. the mouse" escapes from the dungeons of Aquila, he uses a sewage pipe barely large enough (and actually it seems too small for him to fit through)... "This is not unlike escaping my mother's womb. God, what a memory."

    That's a great one, Saig. XD I also love the bit in the Stardust movie where Captain Shakespeare's cross-dressing is revealed to the crew, and he's worried it will ruin his reputation as a pirate. One crewman's response? "It's alright Cap'n, we always knew you was a whoopsie!" Cracks me up every time.

    I want to go back in time and be in a movie theater when this came out and see everyone's reaction. My Dad said when he saw it at the movies everyone gasped and he heard plenty of people dropping F bombs. Sounds pretty funny to me.

    Man, for reals. I was 2 when ESB came out and I actually did see it in the theater, but of course I had no idea what was going on. All I knew was there was lots of shiny stuff. I have no memory of hearing Vader's reveal then, but I wish I did.

    On the other hand, then I'd have to be even older than I am now, which, no.

    A favourite of mine too.

    I love the bit at the end of Pitch Black as Riddick and Fry are making their way back to the shuttle after rescuing the Imam and Jack, and Fry goes back to find Riddick and she gets snatched away into the darkness and Riddick goes "not for me", reflecting the bit where earlier Fry said she'd die for the other two but not for Riddick.

    I've got to admit a weakness for the bit in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (the book; not so much in the film) where they're in the Shrieking Shack and Harry has his wand on Sirius, before Lupin and Snape turn up. Love that.
    All experience is good experience, even if it's a bad experience.

    Firefly pilot. The alliance agent has a hold of River and has a gun to her head. He's just a few words into his bad guy speech about how he's not going to take any more crap from anyone, when Mal walks up the ramp into the ship, draws, shoots him in the head, and continues about his business. Good scene.

    You, too, can get a copy of Lorelei and the Lost and Found Monster from Amazon.com.

    Greatest scene ever.

    Man, for reals. I was 2 when ESB came out...
    Man..all these youngsters here. I was 5 when A New Hope debuted and 8 for The Empire Strikes Back...I remember both as clearly as if I saw them yesterday. I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried when Vader said that.

    I'm surprised. I imagined you would be the type of person who would have started laughing and clapping his hands very loud XD
