Random movie scene thread

I've done some public drinking in my time and I've seen one (1) bar fight, Dan.

And it was at once of those **** dance bars barely worthy of the name.

Over a chick, naturally.
 


Thor: Ragnarok was actually a very dark story if you focus on the plot, especially the end-credits scene, but it just didn't feel that way. This scene is one of many that just kept lightening the mood.
 
This is a cheat because it isn't actually in the movie, but I stumbled upon the leaked test footage that got Deadpool made and I had to share again.

 
I ran up on it and needed somewhere to put it, mostly.

I'm not complaining. Hell, I want a spin-off that is just Tormund and The Hound. I know both Clegane brothers fell a long way into fire, but they can find some way to pull him out of it given the way that show abandoned logic and reason for much of the final season. :)
 
The late, great Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday. Final scene. No dialogue. Incredible acting by Hoskins.

 
From Redford's expression when Newman drops the cards while trick shuffling, to the whole fake obnoxious drunk act that pisses off Robert Shaw, who cheats only to find that Newman cheats better? Paul steals the show in a movie with multiple great scenes. I can watch this over and over and it never gets old.

The actual sting -- I said PLACE it on Lucky Dan! That horse is going to run second. -- is great, but I love this more.

 
I found this one again while wasting some time on YouTube tonight. The visuals and sound are just so good in this entire movie, but especially this scene.

 


The larger plot of the movie doesn't even matter. The entire focus of the movie is right here.
And I've probably already posted this scene on the thread already - but it is THAT good.

Stumbled onto a "Best Psychotic Drill Instructors in Movies" video (R. Lee Ermey for Full Metal Jacket at the top (no surprise) with Louis Gossett Junior in at no. 3. But I think they missed Darren McGavin in Tribes - one of the few portrayals of a DI with recruits, and when he's not yelling at him. McGavin might be one of the all-time underrated actors ever. Hard to believe this was a TV movie.

UPDATE: Last night was chatting with a guy who happened to be a former DI oddly enough - he said Ermy was the best. The guy I was talking with was Army - he never understood why Marine DIs talk the way they do, they seem to have a unique way of talking/yelling (not the profanity so much, but the accent "hup, hup, hup" kind of thing. )
