Good walking scenes in other films!?!


Hi all

I started a post for Werkmeister Harmonies a while back with the same topic. I thought I would post here as well in case anyone has any good memories of films with epic walking scenes.

The original post and responses are here if people want to add to it:

I like quite a few walking scenes in films, for different reasons. Some are funny, some are epic, some are well orchestrated. Some last a few seconds some a few minutes, but they're all equally memorable to me. Let's see, we have:

Kyle McLachlan walks Laura Dern home, then shows her the "chicken walk" in Blue Velvet.

R. Lee Ermey walks among the new recruits at Parris Island and gives his epic speech in Full Metal Jacket.

Michael Douglas abandons his car in traffic and starts what is basicalla 2-hour long walk towards his ex wife's home in Falling Down.

Gene Hackman is following Fernando Rey through the streets of New York in The French Connection.

"Everybody's Looking" at Jon Voight at the beginning of Midnight Cowboy.

Ewan McGregor chooses life at the end of Trainspotting.

Jack Nicholson whisper-yelling while roaming through the corridors of the Overlook Hotel in The Shining.

Jim Carrey delivers a package in the opening sequence of Ace Ventura.

John Randolph catches a train in the opening sequence of Seconds.

Jean Reno tells Natalie Portman to stop saying "Ok" in Leon.

Luis Guzman greets his restaurant guests in Boogie Nights.

Guido is walked to his execution by the nazi soldier in Life Is Beautiful.

Ben Kingsley lands at a Spanish airport in Sexy Beast.

Malcolm McDowell is walking with his Droog mutineers, thinking of dishing out punishment, in A Clockwork Orange.

Christian Bale "Walking On Sunhine" in American Psycho.

James Woods walks Robert De Niro through his deception, before walking out of this world, in Once Upon A Time In America.

John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson walk to work in Pulp Fiction.

Álex Ángulo walks through the streets of Madrid in search of evil deeds to do in Day Of The Beast.

Alan Ford walks his guests through his pig farm in Snatch.
