The ending scene in Lost in Translation when he finds her on the crowded street and whispers in her ear.


I loved that.  That was such a cool movie in so many ways.  Underrated in my opinion.

All the inside jokes in "Sky Captain and the World of Tomarrow"

Polly lifting lines from the Orson Wells panic broadcast as she describes the robots attacking the city over the phone...

Office #1138 where Proffessor Jennings has his lab.

Godzilla featured in the Japanese newspaper, with headlines about the attacks.

The mini elephant, being a direct reference to a Warner Bros. cartoon that featured a mini-pachederm.

Dex testing his disintigrator gun on a metal panel, a la "This Island Earth"

In the ice cave, you distinctly see the Thunderbird's "Iron Mole" in the far background.

Seeing "The Venture" on the ocean floor (with a huge cage still on its deck, ripped open) during the amphibious squadron attack... and the Titanic, and several other great shipwrecks of note.

And on and on...

The movie is filled with them!

I must have missed it.

I remember in college I took a film appreciation class to fill up an easy elective and the professor talked about all the classics and we watched a few movies. But I remember him saying how that scene in Psycho is something film students still evaluate even today. There are people that break it down frame by frame and debate about it. What makes it scary? How did Hitchcock do it and make it so effective? And especially back in 1960 when it was made, this was a very terrifying scene despite how little is actually shown to the viewer.

Dorothy:: Hello, baby.
Frank:  Shut up! It's Daddy, you shithead! Where's my bourbon?

If you've not seen Blue Velvet, I recommend it.  It's a David Lynch film about the weird happenings in a seemingly normal town.
