Film Scenes [Illustrated]
I invite any others who may wish to help proliferate this topic's aim, which is just as simple as posting a one-shot foto-still from any favourite, recognized, studio-produced, and cult films of your choosing. Oh. Though no pornography please (and no nude scenes either).
I will also try to enforce a simple yet effective model of how to go about submitting a "feature" here: it's as easy as uploading a scene of whatever film strikes your fancy, and posting the foto-still here. The caveat, though, in which I verily hope is respected and abided by throughout, is the simple formula of: listing the film credits. Informational example of a conforming post - (Film title, dir. by Name: , year of release) If the image contains any actors in it, it is your choice whether or not you wish to mention them in your post. That's all. With the above preface out of the way, shall we begin the features, then? Zatôichi to Yôjinbô (Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo) - dir. by Kihachi Okamoto (1970) [getkempt.] - - - - - personal note: The new TFP commons for film scenes, which is to include features, shorts and documentaries. I'm not yet sure whether or not I should include/allow cartoons and television series to mix into the well-water. I'm leaning towards a definitive "no".

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - dir. by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones (1975) In this clip: King Arthur (Graham Chapman), The Black Knight (John Cleese). A favorite movie of mine, especially this scene where the Black Knight reply to his injuries as "just a flesh wound!".

Very many thanks for contributing, freeload (and also, for following the formula to a "T").
I found it hilarious, light-hearted, and coincidentally-awesome that your film happened to follow my first post, and the personal commentary just set it right. I was also musing upon the idea of interspersing some film scenes, along with the dialogue that had accompanied that particular scene, to make it seem "complete" with its rightful context of where, exactly, any particular post here happened to pause in any random film that should appear here. - - - Well, enough about me, explaining and elaborating about/toward you: Quote:

Bad Taste - dir. by Peter Jackson (1985) pictured: Derek (Peter Jackson) After diving trough the alien lord with his chainsaw, Derek crawls out between the legs of the alien and proclaims "I'm born again!" This was my first splatter movie, but also one of the best in my opinion. I never found the same humor in the others - not even Braindead. (Also a Jackson splatter)

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - dir. by Michel Gondry (2004) personal note: Is it possible for someone to have watched this film, and still feel totally ambivalent about it, as I do? All I ever hear is how much others either love or hate this particular endeavor in cinematic storytelling.

I don't really love or hate Eternal Sunshine to any extreme degree but I'd say I come closer to liking it than disliking it. I plan to watch it again soon anyway so after that I'll perhaps have a more firm opinion. From what I remember though it has a pretty downbeat - galling even - conclusion that didn't sit well with people expecting a more traditional romantic comedy.
