72. My Kingdom for a Horse: Richard III (1995): This is just clever. Fascist Richard in World War II-era Britain. His jeep gets stuck in the mud...

73. Jimmy Stewart’s Nightmare: Vertigo (1958): If this came out in 1968, people would have really been tripped out.

74. Hal can read lips: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968): What made this movie terrifying was the astronauts reliance on technology that runs amok and the fact no one could help them.

Greatest Movie Scenes #96-100

96. Sadism- A Clockwork Orange (1971): Alex de Large (Malcolm McDowell) and friends go on a sadistic crime spree. The scene shocked people for its indiscriminate violence.

97. You Came Back. Why? - Magnificent Seven (1960): Eli Wallach had beaten the Seven, but they came back despite the fact the Mexicans did not want them to return. A confused Wallach asks Yul Brynner why they bothered to come back.

98. The Enterprise-Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979): The producers wanted to show how far special effects and model building had come since 1969. So, they spend seven minutes flying to the ship. The new movie pays homage to this scene briefly.
