Sci Fi History: Superman (1978)

Richard Donner's Superman launched the modern superhero film. It depicted Superman's life from Krypton to his first major challenge. The film starred many big names including Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Glenn Ford, and Ned Beatty. Unknown Christopher Reeve won the starring role and created a new Clark Kent. Every version of Superman since has been overshadowed by Reeve's performance. The wave of films Superman birthed ended with the Batman and Robin disaster in 1997. Bryan Singer's X-Men relaunched and reinvigorated the genre in 2000.

Greatest Movie Scenes of all Time #11-30

11. The Showdown- The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966): A very different type of showdown. It takes forever for the characters to draw which leads to heightening of tension.

12. Jumping -Butch and Sundance (1969): This scene sums up the buddy flick. Newman and Redford at their best. The fall will probably kill you!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck6vqsOt-Pc

13. Wanna have a catch?- Field of Dreams (1989): One of a handful of movie scenes where guys are allowed to cry.

14. Atlanta burns- Gone with the Wind (1939): They deserved it.

15. Patton and the flag- Patton (1970): George C. Scott channels Patton and the American right in this scene and movie.

16. The Red Sea Parts-The Ten Commandments (1956): Don’t mess with Charlton Heston. In real life, the Egyptians were either hit by high tide or a tsunami.

17. Two Hills of beans/Into the Myst- Casablanca (1942): Rick’s true colors come out at the end. Bogart is the classic anti-hero.

18. The Chase- Bullitt (1968): Probably the first major movie car chase scene. Starts slow and picks up. Metallica copied it in a video.

19. Baptism by Fire-The Godfather (1972): Wacking the heads of the families while attending a baptism. Classic.

21. The Chase- The French Connection (1971): Unlike many chase scenes, the main character’s car is smashed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu3GmRQ-U9k

22. The fight- The Quiet Man (1952): Greatest movie fight ever…even had a beer break in it.

23. I Don’t give a damn!- Gone with the Wind (1939): Scarlett was such a bitch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ7z6hpO57c

24. Let‘s Go Home- The Searchers (1956): Wayne’s humanity overcomes racism and Natalie Wood goes home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4BAO63mxnc

25. Are you looking at me?-Taxi Driver (1976): Great scene. Too bad it influenced John Hinkley Jr.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e9CkhBb18E

26. Kissing Fredo- Godfather II (1974): Fredo, Fredo…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcFlp6kl508

27. Boom-The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957): Obi Wan realizes his mistake at the end and the bridge is blown. In real life, the bridge still stands today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yejwYSZQPsg

29. Death Star blows-Star Wars (1977): Like Luke was going to miss…

30. The Desert Chase-Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981): This might be the most exciting scene in movie history.

Greatest Movie Scenes #111-115

111. Anchor fight: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004): No Commercials and No Mercy!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APGGKrMyZ3o

112. The nanny hangs: The Omen (1976):  This was creepy. Barack's...er I mean Damien, the son of Satan's, nanny commits suicide at a birthday party. She had a big old smile on her face and it allowed the Satanist nurse to come care for the boy. Not even Gregory Peck could defeat the Son of Satan.

113. What we do in life, echoes in Eternity: Gladiator (2000): One of the great movie speeches. It was short and informal showing you don't have to wear blue face to inspire troops.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=331clHFsnpY

114. Nuclear Rodeo: Dr Strangelove (1964): The world is ending, so why not ride a nuclear bomb all the way to the ground?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueuauKKjPZI

115. Hackman grabs Rooker by the balls: Mississippi Burning (1988): Hackman was so intense, people on the set feared for Michael Rooker during this scene.
