After witnessing a string of violent events, some arbitrary, Joe Peschi challenges an innocent remark made by Ray Liotta.

If you ain't seen this film don't watch this clip on its own.

I like the surreal ....

Club Silencio in Mulholland Drive.

Multiple Malkoviches in being Job Malkovitch.

Hal in 2001 - "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave". Also, when Dave walks out into the alien construction designed to make him "feel at home".

The streets and the scenes in Tyrell's building in Blade Runner. Atmosphere.

Pulp Fiction - Uma Thurman and John Travolta in the restaurant

Being John Malkovich. I LOVED that film.
Actually most of the best movie scenes I can think of are performed by non-humans.

With batman, those two are the "superhero" movies with less "superhero" in them. Watchmen is certeanly not for kids, more for teenagers, please XD.
But all I'm saying is that I like the scene, and the acting there. Now, if you excuse me, I see "the amazing world of gumball" and "regular show", and, at least in my country, I still feel that it has better content than the news.

Blade Runner represents great innovation in design. I saw it at my first Drive-in, in LA. It was a second feature, and after a few minutes several cars drove out. I can't remember the first film that night (must have been shite), and was disappointed to see people leave, but I loved the film.
There were not many films that dared to show the future as less than perfect, but Ridley Scott did this well with BR and the Alien films, providing us with a glimpse of dystopia.
I feel the "remake" (or is it a sequal?) is going to be a let down.

Oy vey. For perhaps only the second time in recorded history, I fear I have to agree with you. Call the press. :wink:

Blade Runner, and in particular, the scene on the rooftop in particular...absolute magic, that. But the scene of Deckard checking his teeth...the scene of Zhora's death...all magnificent, moody cinematic genius. I fear that I love the original too much not to see the sequel, but also love the original so much that, like you, I cannot bring myself to believe it can be anything but a letdown.

One more film of particular interest to philosophers, but one heck of a weird, moody "postmodern" piece in its own right, a very old Steven Soderbergh film called "Kafka." Fortunately, it's on YouTube in its entirety. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_MmwyazJBk . It's really quite creepy, but has quite a fascinating critique of modern life in it.

Politics and religion divide people (hence impolite dimer conversation) and art brings them together :)

Agreed about remakes. How can they hope to improve on the original? It's akin to a band covering Bohemian Rhapsody. Good luck with that.

I was also brought down by the remake of Clash of the Titans, so atmospheric in B&W and stop-motion monsters, with a minimum of explosions but tons of atmosphere, such as the vulture and swamp scenes with Calibos. The new one was not even close. Worse was the irony-less remake of the utterly ironic Hitchhiker's Guide. I wish someone with a brain would do a decent version that didn't rely on cardboard box props.

Still, Peter Jackson's King Kong was an improvement, although the scene in the original by the gateway to Kong's world in the original was buzzy beyond belief to me back in the day!

Woman shaving man with an open razor. Dangerously sexy.
Can't remember the film. Actor could be someone like Clint or Costner...
Any ideas?

The only idea is that it would be pretty strange to do with a close razor.

One of my favourite scenes is in cube, when Worth talks about why are they there, but that scene isn't in youtube (In English).
