Favorite Scenes from Not so Famous Films


We all know the graveyard scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and the USS Indianapolis speech from Jaws but what about really awesome scenes from not so well known films?

reply

The "Oh, hi Mark" scene is wildly popular. Yes, the movie is pretty (in)famous as well, but I think most people have not seen the full movie.

I Haven't. I heard it's a bad movie. Why would I want to see a bad movie in it's entirety?

Ah, I'm sorry. I actually misunderstood the OP's question. Or more like misread it. I thought it was "famous scenes from not so famous films," instead of "favorite scenes." My bad. Just disregard my above posts.

I’m a Richard Harris fan and I haven’t seen this. I’ll be looking it up soon. Thanks!

Great cast, good director, just ok movie. Hence why you haven't seen it. Do watch but with appropriate expectations.

Here is my favorite Harris flick which I would think is unknown to most. Caution: major spoiler if you have not seen this movie.

The Wild Geese (1978) Rafer

Start at 7:00 because this is the only clip I could find.

One of my faves is the relatively unknown (at least to modern audiences) Cromwell. One of his best, I think. (And I saw Wild Geese when it came out, in a theater. My initial impression IIRC is that it wasn't as good as its fantastic cast. But I'll have to re-watch to have a current opinion. The specific scene you refer to is enough to make a grown man cry.)

I hereby declare this parliament dissolved!! Great scene.

Another obscure Harris film is Golden Rendezvous (1977) if you have not seen it. Unfortunately I cannot think of any remarkable scenes in it

reply

I edited my post of The Wild Geese to say that the specific scene you cite is enough to make a grown man cry.

reply

Yes indeed! Then after Burton visits his son.

This one is impossible to forget. I must say I love the fast moving zombie scene when he attacks the girl even more. :)

Got to love that Italian gore.

reply

I think this movie is infamous, but I don't know how many people have actually seen it

I’ve seen it many times and I own an actual jug of nilbog milk. It’s one of my prized possessions. 😎

reply

Amityville 3D has a neat scene where a girls mother comes home to see her daughters ghost at the same time her daughter has just drowned in a lake. My description doesn't really do it justice.

Otherwise, a terrible film.

reply

I’ll look that one up on YouTube to see if the scene is available.

reply

Excellent topic, so good I want to tag it and come back when I have an answer worthy of it! Hmmm

reply

I don't know if this well-known to today's audiences

Sleuth (1972) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saeNpo5dcdY

Another I’ve never seen that I’ll be looking up. Thanks!

Again, may only be known by people of a certain age
