Greatest Movie Scenes #31-40

31. Showdown- High Noon (1952): Gary Cooper should have let the Frank Miller shoot up the town. Interesting parallels to real life though. When there comes a time to stand up to evil, people run and hide.

32. John Wayne Close up- Stagecoach (1939): For 1939, revolutionary camera work that John Ford never used again.

36. Wayne goes down- The Shootist (1976): John Wayne’s final role (Although there is supposedly one more film out there. It's a post nuclear holocaust sci-fi western). A dying gunfighter looks for death with dignity and finds it. The role echoes Wayne’s own battles with age and illness.

37. Oz goes color- The Wizard of Oz (1939): Going from black and white to color in a film was just cool.

38. It’s Alive!- Frankenstein (1931): The original novel was a Romance Period reaction to the Enlightenment. The film brought it into the industrial age.

39. Rocky runs- Rocky (1976): Philadelphia sports history is so bad, they had to immortalize a movie scene with a statue.

40. The Ecstasy of Gold- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1967): Tuco (Eli Wallach) runs through a graveyard searching for gold. He is accompanied by the now classic film score.
