Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, perched on the cliff of what I believe is the Animas River in Colo. where they filmed that scene, being chased relentlessly by by the posse of top lawmen and trackers hired by the " Union Pacific Railroad".Butch says we'll jump, Sundance say's no I want to fight them, Butch responds they'll pen us in and starve us out, Butch say's we'll survive as long as the water is deep enough, Sundance say's no, then after a short silence tells Butch "I can't swim"! Butch laughing tells him "The fall will probably kill yah"! And then they both make the leap, I love that movie.

I like Eastwood, too- the "Missouri boat ride" from "The Outlaw Josie Wales"

And Burt Lancaster in "Valdez is Coming" when he's picking that posse off from a cliff top with a sharps.

"Joe Kidd" is another good Eastwood movie. There's a bunch of neat guns in that one, too. If you look close, the gun that Robert Duvall is carrying is a beautiful deluxe Savage 99.

The Patriot, when Gibson's character tells his younger sons how to help him rescue the oldest son. "Aim small, miss small." Then he takes out the whole unit and finishes off the last one with his tomahawk. Powerful scene. Great movie. Great presentation of the cost of freedom, and its value.

It only took me less than one minute.... there's been lot's of movies (of course) but my mind went immediately to two scenes in ONE movie. First thought was Tom Hanks as his life drained from him in "Saving Private Ryan". Second.... the scene where the aged Pvt Ryan visited the cemetery in Normandy and asked his wife & family to please tell him his life was worthwhile....

If any man who ever served can watch that movie scene without tears in their eyes, you are better men than I am and I spent a long damn time in the military. I'm a big fan of Clint Eastwood, John Wayne and many other actors. But those two scenes, showing us just what war, honor, fear and life is all about, both mean a lot to me, a whole lot.

That unforgiven scene is the best. I also love the scene in Cowboys with John Wayne where he stands up to the riff raff.

Also when Mel Gibson yell freedom at the end of Braveheart, and when the Riders of Rohan charge the Orcs in The Return of the King.

Next to the scene in Unforgiven, this is my favorite.

+1 for 'The Patriot'... Francis Marion was portrayed as a man with a harsh past, but with a desire for peace. He just wanted to raise his sons and daughter and manage his farm. Like I hope we all can and would do, he rose to the call of freedom, the need to protect his family, and the duty to join his neighbors in a worthy cause.
If Mel Gibson did him justice in the movie, I believe he's a good example of what an American should be - and be prepared for.

Of course we're big Swamp Fox fans here in SC, him and Thomas Sumter "The Fighting Gamecock" both. Sumter is who our University's mascot is named after - not the bird, but few people know that outside of the state. Gibson's character in that movie was a mix of the two, Marion and Sumter.

Since we're in the campfire section, who can forget the campfire scene in "Blazing Saddles" -- sorry, I could not resist! I still LMAO every time I think of that scene. John
Yeah, great scene with Slim Pickens.


'Mongo not know, Mongo only pawn, in game of life.' :)
Yeah, that one ...


... and this one.


But my favorite movie scene, I think at the moment anyway, is ... and it is what we should do with lawyers and politicians IMHO.

The whole graveyard sequence in "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" is my favorite. Too many good lines and scenes during that sequence to list here. I don't think any movie has ended any better!
