I've only watched my DVD once because I keep seeing it in theatres here! To be expected in San Francisco I guess. Although I loved watching the 2nd tent scene at 1/4 speed on DVD.
Now that I think about it, I like watching and pausing on still frames of the two of them being affectionate. I am so going to meet my future partner this year. Unless I don't I guess.
Profoundly moving moments in film acting history: Glenn Close's reaction to the news that Valmont was killed in a duel in Dangerous Liasons.
Gloria Swanson descending the staircase and delivering the final monologue in Sunset Boulevard (that poor crazy woman).
Jimmy Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: "I guess this is just another lost cause, Mr. Paine."
Fernanda Montenegro in the final scenes of Central Station - one of the great performances by any actress
ever.
I remember loving Kate Winslet's Ophelia in Hamlet as she's sitting against a wall singing. So tragic.
Call me crazy but my heart breaks for Clint Eastwood when he reaches for the whiskey bottle after hearing of Ned's murder and is pushed back over the edge in Unforgiven.
And you want to talk about emotionally effective subtlety? How about Anthony Hopkins in every frame of The Remains of the Day?
And finally, the singlemost thrilling, joy producing movie moment I can recall: Dash's head thrown back laugh when he discovers he can run on water in The Incredibles. I'm serious! That movie shares the same being-true-to-yourself theme that Brokeback has, only it ends well, and that moment is the best example of the turnaround one experiences when one comes into themselves and starts living life to the fullest.
