10 Favourite movie Scenes

Hello..

As a former film student, I thought I would give you an insight on some of my fav films. Here are my top 10 film scenes ever. I love all these scenes so much , that sometimes I will  just watch the one particular scene on youtube. I know, cool! (these are in no order by the way) 

1.The Great Gatsby : Beautiful Fool Scene. 

"And I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl in this world can be. A beautiful little fool."

"All the bright precious things fade so fast,...and they don't come back."

Great Gatsby is my favourite book and one of my favourite films.Daisy is talking to her cousin Nick about her life and it eludes to the green light and Mr Gatsby who is just across the water. This scene gives me goosebumps every time I watch it and I'm not entirely sure why. It might be the music or maybe the the Fitzgerald quotes.

2. The Lion King: Simba becoming King of Pride Rock

Oh gosh, what an emotional roller-coaster Lion King is! This scene in particular pulls at my heart strings. Simba taking back his pride at the end of the film, epic music, rain pouring and then Rafiki says "It's Time". Disney at it's finest. Just genius.

3. Edward Scirssorhands: The Ice Dance

Edward Scissor hands carving Kim ( the girl of his dreams) out of  ice, when Kim sees, she starts dancing in the snow.Magical!! Again it's the music in this scene that gets me . So much so, I learnt to play it on the piano.

4.The Graduate: The last scene

The reality after the fairy tale ending. This is just so clever, After crashing a wedding and running away with the bride, they make their get away on a bus.Instead of  smiling and giddy with excitement like you would expect they are full of uncertainty and worry.  Almost like "what now."
Not your classic happily ever after which is what I like about it.

5.The Muppets:Life's a happy song.

My go to film when I'm ill. The first number is just so happy and uplifting, it's a song about being happy, what's not to like here! You can't help but smile and sing along with this scene.

6. 500 days of Summer:Expectation V Reality

The expectation versus the reality scene is a really clever way to portray the protagonists point of view.Tom is going to Summer's party, he expects it to go one way but it turns out so heartbreakingly different.   I also love the Regina Spektor song that plays throughout the scene

7.The Shawshank Redemption: Last scene.

Andy and Red are finally reunited. This scene always makes me quite emotional, every time I watch it, you can just hear the viewer hoping that they'll meet again and when you see Red walking down the beach to Andy it's such an uplifting ending.  " I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope."

8.Bridesmaids: The food Poisoning Scene

Five girls in a pristine, white, expensive bridal shop all wearing designer dresses and suddenly they come down with a case of food poisoning with only one toilet.......So Funny! It's so vulgar and disgusting, it's just Hilarious. What an absolute nightmare, can you just imagine?!?

9. Atonement: Dunkirk Scene

This scene is visually beautiful.  The camera pans around Dunkirk beach showing the viewer all the horror and sadness of the war all in one moving shot, from horses being shot to soldiers skinny dipping to a choir singing in the bandstand.  An incredible scene

10. Singing in the Rain:The song

Finally, I urge anyone who is having a down day to take 5 mins out, search on YouTube
 "singing in the rain" and watch this scene it will truly put a smile on your face.

So that's my top ten favourite scenes, hope you enjoyed them, if you haven't seen any  of these film, go and watch them !!! Please let me know if I'm not the only one who re watches their favourite scenes over and over. What are your go to scenes to cheer yourself up ?
