Ah man, that Antwone Fisher scene is a tearjerker for sure...
The beggining to THE LOOKOUT where they drive around in the car and turn the lights off to see those lightning-bugs is magic
The beginning and ending to GONE BABY GONE with the scenery of the Boston-streets and monologue from Casey Affleck is downright poetry and beautiful
Crash, the whole damn movie but Ludacris coming of age story in particular, and making a white corrupt racist cop a likeable character (Matt Dillon)
Hustle & Flow, I'm just impressed how they managed to make a ? like that into a likeable character, the church-scene stands out
Get Rich Or Die Tryin, after 50 Cent been shot and becomes all emo dude actually impressed me in his acting there
Running Scared, literally EVERYTHING that movie is amazing, Paul Walker impressed me with his acting...
Just some that came to mind... -
The entire movie SLEEPERS
them lil boys went thru hell
them sicc azz guards killed that blacc kid Rizzo (beat him to death) becuz he beat the guards in a football game
the part where the guards take the boys to the boiler room and Kevin Bacon's character tells them to "Get down on your knees and open ya mouth"
the part where they jam the night sticc up "Shakes" ass and tells him to "Show us how you pray"
and the part where "Shakes" told the Priest (Robert Deniro) about the abuse, rapes and molestation they endured at the detention center (the look on Deniro's face was so sad)
I hate that damn movie (its a great movie I jus hate anything that has to do wit hurtin children)
this is my favorite scene, when the two boys out the group who grew up to be ruthless killers finally meet up wit the guard who abused them so many years ago
