What is your favorite scene?


By far my favorite scene is in which everyone is having lunch at Vito and Elaine's apartment, and Adam's 'parasite' girlfriend, Christine, horrifies them all with her goulish business ethics. Jessie cuts her down in an instant. Loved it.

Personally, I love the part where Vito kicks Julio's ass. What nerve that guy had, stealing from Vito, and then when he gets caught, threatening Vito's family. It did my heart good, seeing Julio get a good beating. Served him right. And it helps establish Vito's character, that "real Vito" that Jesse talks about near the end.

God, that part was so hot...

The Vito beating scene, not that girlfriend scene.
I couldn't take Julio seriously from the start with that poof ball white hat he was wearing

The break in and the scene at the HoJos - I used to work around the corner from there and drove home on the Long Island Expressway every night - NOT KNOWING that <drool> Sean Connery was not 30 feet away!!! Oh the missed chances....<sigh>

My favorite scene was the one with Rosana DeSoto (Elaine) naked, lying on top of Hoffman. She has an "old" face, but a hot body, and was only 39 when this movie came out.

Gotta agree. Outstandingly written lunch scene.

I like the scene at Doheney's Bar, when Connery and Hoffman are bouncing off each other, and the scene in the DIY Shop when Connery tells the Pee Wee Grogan story

Retired cop/bartender/bar owner's wake. Keg next to the casket that is how I want to go. I want to be there as people drink to mourn me. Heck I do not even want them to mourn me I want then to celebrate my life.
