Iconic Scenes

Whilst talking to a friend in work about Let the Right One In (the only one who has even heard of it) I got onto the scene in that film that really stood out, the one I think about whenever I think about the film.

The scene in question is the one in the swimming pool, specifically the shot of Oskar underwater whilst in the background a pair of legs is dragged quickly through the water. The whole film was brilliant but for some reason that one moment is always my first thought of the film.

Some obvious ones include Jack Nicholson axing his way throught the door in The Shining and John Hurts chestburster in Alien.

Was wondering if there are certain scenes, not necessarily famous scenes, which for some reason stick in your minds when thinking about certain movies?

Bikers scene in Dawn of the Dead.

Lt Gorman saying annoyedly "somebody wake up Hicks!" in Aliens, and Bishop's last line "Not bad for a...human!"

Predator - Predator repeating "Over here!", Mac murmuring "Anytime..."

Platoon - Elias running from the rebels and getting shot from behind while his arms are stretched in the air.

3. Every scene with Dwight Frye as Renfield in Dracula....Master....Master...

4. At TCM original Letherface "forcefully" taking a female victim into the house!

5. The bag with something or someone moving inside and the telephone rings from Audition, plus "kiri-kiri-kiri"

The very very very awkward scene in the Gas Station in No Country for Old Men.

**spoilers**

A scene in The Exorcist has always sent a wave of coldness over me. We enter Reagan's bedroom with Father Karras to discover that Father Merrin has been murdered, though we're never told just how. Reagan has somehow escaped her bed shackles and sits in one corner of the bed. There is a moment of extreme quiet and calm, as if both parties- man and devil- are so exhausted by the battle of good and evil that has taken place thusfar that there is an unspoken time-out from the games. Karras pays no attention to the unrestrained demon; Reagan seems momentarily content to sit and watch him. The mise-en-scene is slightly bleached and one could hear a pin drop in the room. It's a scene of sheer poetic beauty.

Great scenes for sure especially the one from Platoon. Epic.

The only thing I remember as scary from The Exorcist was when Reagan says "She's in here... With us."
