Favourite (Unintentional???) Film Moments
Adventuress:
Zero spoiler alert required, IMO.
Pirates of the Caribbean, when the Nemesis Capt Salazar tells us all of how a young Jack Sparrow got his first ship YET earned his derision. No doubt everyone has already seen this movie.
What I really like about it, from a fictional POV, is that WALK & sideways look that Jack did after the ship's improbable 360 degree "bootleg" maneuver. Yes, one could (and should) have the empathy for that Spanish Captain. But, IMO, it is so cleverly portrayed that Jack the young pirate actually looks like a hero.
Here are the links (yes, two, and sorry that I couldn't put it all in one).

I don't imagine that I am laying down here anything that you folks haven't seen. But, I *am* a newcomer here. And, I have mostly the same stats" as I suppose that most of you have. I have noticed that some really big members have been trying to do a revitalization of this site. And, I think that it is worth it! I hope that this topic is worthy of you all. I don't expect to see a whole lot of replies. But, I think that at least most can see *why* I like this back story of Capt J Sparrow.
From my point of view, FINALLY I stumbled upon a bunch of people that I think are alot like me.
Blackthorne:
Heh, you know, I have yet to see this Pirates movie. I gotta get on that.
Getting replies on the forum is tough; I've tried to write more here, but even I lapse in that.
Favorite Movie Scenes?
Man, I could probably list 1000.... anytime except for now. I'm totally drawing a blank right now. I know I'll think of 8 when I'm not on the internet....
EDIT:
Okay, totally - the film? Alien (1979 - Ridley Scott)
When they first go down to the surface of LV-426 and see The Derelict Spacecraft. That thing has haunted my dreams for decades. Even then they tried to "explain" in in Prometheus, I'm still intrigued by what I saw and knew nothing about in Alien. And going further, when they first find the "Space Jockey". Amazing.

I [presciently] discussed a favorite (unintentional???) film moment as a tangent almost 6 years ago in a thread about the Oculus Rift:

When Sam Flynn hit the main breaker switch in "Tron: Legacy" and Flynn's Arcade lit up after all those years with all of those machines coming back to life, and Journey's "Separate Ways" started booming in the background...
...I got chills watching that on the big screen.
Kids today will NEVER know how that feels...

Blackthorne:
So true, man, I love Flynn's Arcade.

The original Tron was great amd so was the remake! Also I enjoyed "Ready Player one" You had to be from the 80's to get all the classic references.
