Great Film Scenes

man daniel day lewis is amazing im glad he came out of retirement again to start making movies
I don't think he really retires. I believe he routinely goes on these sabbaticals and does things that you would never expect from a Hollywood star. His family lineage is quite interesting too.
 
Funny how??


He was adlibbing that scene...Ray Liotta just went with the feel of where he was going...That's how good these two were...I saw it in the theatre and liked it but it's one of those films the more you watch it the better it gets.

Damiel Day Lewis won an Oscar for this
Method acting at its best he gets totally into character as does Paul Dano .

Who does better job is a toss up. But this is some great acting. They got amazing amount out of it

  • Daniel Day-Lewis plays the film's central character, the ruthless oil prospector Daniel Plainview.
  • Paul Dano plays Eli Sunday, the young preacher who has a tense and adversarial relationship with Plainview.

Runaway Train...imho the best action film.

Jon Voight at his peak. The awesomeness of Rabecca De Mornay before Tommasino Cruise had her blacklisted.


$245 million loss looks good on him, and he doesn't have a female actor to blame.
 


Very powerful scene but it is a lie. I doubt someone who is machine gunned will fall so dramatically , they would just go down. Reminds me of those cowboy shootouts when someone gets shot they dramatically fall backwards

A bullet from a colt handgun in the 1800s does not have the force to drive you backwards and kill you in a second

This seems actually realistic . A shot into your brain will cause spasms


  • Doc Holliday was played by Val Kilmer and was his best acting .
  • Johnny Ringo was played by Michael Biehn.ditto

No, Tom Cruise did not have Rebecca De Mornay blacklisted.
• The Relationship: Cruise and De Mornay co-starred in the 1983 film Risky Business and dated for about two and a half years afterward (from 1982 to 1985).
• Current Standing: De Mornay has publicly praised Cruise in recent interviews, expressing pride in his career and maintaining a positive, fond view of their shared history rather than alleging any industry blacklisting or hostility.
• Confusion with Other Exes: The rumor or confusion may stem from reports involving other former partners or spouses of Cruise—such as Nicole Kidman, who has occasionally been discussed in relation to industry rumors post-divorce, or various accounts regarding the Church of Scientology's influence on his inner circle
 
Al Pacino was impressed with Viggo Mortensen's Sicilian accent in Green Book.

SJW said Viggo didn't derseves any sort of accolades for Green Book, He was playing a thugh. They iz so stoooopid, Viggo was playing the thugh you need.

Tony Lip vs the tough Janitor.



I liked him in the restaurant scene in A History of Violence. And how he later flipped personalities when he was dealing with his brother. The sex scene the stairs with Maria Bello was pretty good.to for an R-rated movie.
The street scenes and much and the movie were shot in Millbrook.

Ya makes sense. Since De Mornay went on to star in films like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Backdraft and And God Created Woman amongst her 50 or so film and TV credits post Cruise relationship.

Doc Holliday is without a doubt one of his best acting roles and coincidentally one of my favourite characters in film
