Mine is the morning after Jackie gets out of jail and Max comes to see her. I love it when she puts on The Delfonics and is walking towards the kitchen, and Max is just looking at her and you can see him literally falling in love. Robert Forster and Pam Grier have fantastic chemisry.
shareA similar situation is when Max picks her up at the jail. he goes to the gate, and watches her walk toward her. Camera trickery and editing makes it take forever for her to get to the gate...
shows Jackie, then Max, back to Jackie, then Max, back to jackie, and she's hardly made any ground on her walk to the gate...

I agree, any scene with Max and Jackie is absolutely flawless. And I agree when Louis shoots Melanie. That made me rather happy to see her die.
shareHe couldn't just hit her?
I don't understand why Melanie would want to undermine the money exchange...and how did she get the balls to mess with an excon anyway?
Obviously, she didn't expect to get shot from effing with him, but what reaction DID she expect?
She just wasn't very bright, and obviously had gotten a bit too relaxed and cocky around these guys.
Yeah I really wasn't expecting him to shoot her either, thought he was going to turn around and break her face. Didn't feel sorry for her, though.
...then whoa, differences...
she let deniro fuck her in the kitchen and was betting too much on how hot her pussy was to an ex-con,
but she was over-confident due to being with sam jackson for years as his little surfer girl trophy GF.... unbeknownst to her deniro had no pedestal to place white girls on like sam jackson did
No way it is "flawless". The scene in the mall with Max and Jackie is just plain off. So is the delivery in a few of the "getting to know each other" scenes.
shareman, too many to count. If I have to pick one, the very beginning with Ordell showing Louis the "Chicks with guns" videotape and explaining all the various models and how much he gets from selling em. Insanely funny dialogue
share"flawless" in how real and sometimes a little awkward life can be
shareI fell in love with the first scene: Jackie on the airport conveyor - and then again going into Del Amo mall. Excellent tracking shots. I would also agree with any scene featuring Jackie and Max. They were perfect.

I think that airport conveyor shot was later copied by Mad Men when Don goes to LA.
shareThe stand-up, rear-entry, 2-minute sex scene between Louis and Melanie. Strangely erotic. What? No cuddle?
share"What the f happened to you man?
Your ass used to be beautiful."
I like when the phone rings. (Who should take the call?)
shareJust before that, when Ordell shows up. I love every second of that scene. Especially after she takes control of the situation. I really like when he asks her to point the gun somewhere else, and she just moves it slightly to the right.
And it was a perfect set up for your scene. When she opens the door and says "You want your gun back?"
People will all now say they knew it was Max, but I bet a LOT of people thought it was Ordell.
