A worthy addition to this list would be the halfway mark in From Dusk Till Dawn….that was a proper WTF?! moment if you’d no idea it was coming. Thanks a million for your consistent upbeat endings Jules, always really appreciated because they’re so genuine.
Captain Dignam at the end of The Departed, out of nowhere, we thought the movie resolved. Then BANG Lawrence at the end of the first half of Fullmetal Jacket. We knew he had broken, But he made it, We expected him to stick through but then the whole movie changes. Every other scene in Annihilation The end of The Mist The MASSIVE fourth wall break at the end of Blazing Saddles And in the same vein, the mass arrest in Monty Python's- Holy Grail.
Not sure I agree with the volleyball scene being in this list. I always thought the point of that scene was to highlight that 1) these guys are hyper-competitive in absolutely everything they do and flying planes is merely the tip of the iceberg...and 2) that the pilot/wingman relationship is virtually unbreakable (to set up the tragedy further into the film). Beach volleyball is the perfect 2-on-2 sport that demonstrates the importance of working in harmony with your team mate. Admittedly, 2-on-2 basketball would have done the same job but, let's be honest, Tom Cruise ain't dunking anytime soon. So beach volleyball it is.
I always assumed the bear suit (which I assumed was a dog) scene from The Shining was an homage to the character Roger the Dog Man from the book who was in love with Horrace Derwent and showed up in an Overlook party haunting scene with Wendy and Danny.
The Frodo/Bilbo scene was an unexpected jump scare in the movie, but if you read the novel, it's based on a similar scene where Frodo saw Bilbo as a monster after he was shown the ring.
Pretty sure the guy in the dog costume was in the book as a vaguely submissive relationship with a guy from a flashback in a party at the overlook in the 20's. Edit: I could've phrased this more concisely. There was a flashback of a party in the 20's with a dude in a puppy costume.
Jules is such a legend, I remember when he used to exclude a reference to doing the dirty with my mom. Now he's encouraging me to be better than I am. True step-dad, and I love him for it
I get misty-eyed every time you end an episode. Also, this episode is 11 minutes and 11 seconds long (11:11). My mother calls me every morning at 11:11 and says, "11:11 I LOVE YOU" so that it sounds like I love and I love and I love you. Your departing salutations feel like that.
LMAO I showed that movie to my British Grandmother!!! And to this day (Well, she's dead, now) I would always say, "Granma, what do you do when the world hands you a Geoffrey?" And she would always respond with "Well, I suppose you stroke the furry walls, don't you?" I died laughing every time.
i remember watching enemy and then the spider is there. it doesn't pop at the screen, its just there and i jumped out of my seat. did not see that coming.
You mentioned the wrong Brad Pitt scene. When he gets killed in Meet Joe Black, it's unexpectedly hilarious how three cars killed him like a ping pong ball.
Ok, I need a commenter edition of this list. I would absolutely have put number one as the elevator scene at the end of the departed. No movie scene ever came out of nowhere and rocked me like that scene.
Its completely homoerotic & in the 80s it was as close as representation got. Not sure? Try to think of another 80s film with oiled up men (there are a lots, prob all with "super" masculine charecters, we're claiming them all! To you a Gung-ho scene, to those with an eye: as Capt. Holt would say "VIN-DICK-A-TION!') Edited to get phonetics right, will change again if needed x
Never scene the Enemy but heard and seen the ending. Biggest fucking jump scare for me lol.Burn after reading scene definitely unexpected. The Master is an amazing film!
The surreal final scene of The Believer (2001). Ryan Gosling's jaw-dropping turn as a disaffected Jew who becomes a vicious neo-Nazi ends (or rather never ends) in hellish Nietzschean "eternal return."
Maybe nobody remembers this or I'm remembering it wrong because it was so long ago and the movie itself was rather generic...but the 2000's take of The Flight of the Phoenix and the night battle scene in slo mo set to Massive Attack's Angel. This whole scene starting with that first gun blast...just primo👌
Clerks II: it's interspecies erotica thank you But really no love for the 4th wall break monologue in JCVD? Seeing Van Damm cry on screen totally changes your opinion of him.
Yeah, but while the soliloquy in JCVD was surprisingly emotional, the scene wasn't really out of place. The movie was heavily reflexive/"meta" from the beginning, so when Van Damme started addressing the audience, it wasn't some huge tonal shift or shock.
Not sure which one came first but the scene in "Burn After Reading" where Brad Pitt got shot. A father in the States did the same thing to his daughter. She snuck home to surprise them and hid in their closet. She jumped out and the father shot and killed her. 😢😢
Yeah, Brad Pitt being shot totally messed me up. The movie changed completely after that. I wanted to stop watching, since I wasn’t in the mood for such a dark story, but I was already invested in the characters and wanted to see the outcome. The “rocking chair” George Clooney built was hilariously absurd.
Re: The Shining - unpopular opinion but I always felt like 'Here's Johnny' bit came out of nowhere and took me out of the film. It seems so silly for Jack to be making a Johnny Carson/Tonight Show joke in the middle of his attempted axe murder. Seemed cheesy to me.
It was ad-libbed by Jack Nicholson IIRC and Kubrick decided to keep it in. I vaguely recall reading/seeing something that said his line was actually meant to be "Hi honey, I'm home" but Nicholson thought THAT was too cheesy!
@@werdsmyth Yeah, I knew it was ad-libbed by Nicholson - didn't realise the original script was EVEN WORSE tho!! 😆 Either way, I personally cringe whenever I watch this scene. Altho I know others like it..
8:09 Why are protectionists the prime suspects if a few frames of Sodomy got spliced into a film? Is it because they have the best chance to slip those in in single copies of it? Or is it just because of Tyler Durden? 😜
(Shining BJ scene) "fans have their own interpretations of what it could mean"... heu, no. What it means is clear in the book. There's no theory except what King wrote.
I don't think that Bilbo scene came out of nothing, I think it is in the book. Or otherwise I'm so much under the impression and influence of Jackson's firm that it only seems to me so...
The Bilbo moment was a great jumpscare, but misses the real point of the scene it drew upon: that it was FRODO that created that monster Bilbo, already under the Ring's power to that extent.
@@Deadspace123100 the Bilbo-goblin thing Was in the book, but in the book it was the way Frodo saw Bilbo when bilbo asked to see the ring, due to the power of the ring starting to make Frodo jealous and suspicious of any perceived threat to his possession of it. In the movie it was clearly Bilbo’s metamorphosis. I found it a missed opportunity that could have foreshadowed Frodo’s changes in the later two movies. But it was surely an effective jump scare as it was.
Mickey Rourke is a very good actor. His career went off the rails when he got the power to choose the movies he wanted to make and he chose Wild Orchid. Well that, and the "habits" he developed. He was not the same for some time after the reaming he got from that movie.
It is remotely possibly for the audience to see even *five friggin seconds* of the 10 films chosen for this video? The narrator actually *SPOKE THE LINES* of certain characters when he wanted the words of the script included in his narrative. I found that *_beyond_* unbelievably irritating!!
That effect with Bilbo was terrible. That was a moment that called for acting not a cartoonish "special" effect. It was jarring but not for any good reason. The word is ogle not oogle.
