13. It's not a zombie movie, but it is still pretty good.
I like this scene because it offers some comic relief to an otherwise jolting movie.

Most of the scenes on youtube for this movie are altered, by fans. This movie seems to inspire a lot of people in an artistic way. This clip does not seem to be altered.

19. The ending of "V for Vendetta",
particularly the very ending when the people lift up their masks and you see people from the movie, including those who had been killed by the government. That was moving.

22. Millenium Actress--one of the most interesting clips I've ever seen.
Hard to understand this without seeing the movie. The two men with the camera are a film crew doing a documentary on an aging film idol. They have discovered a key she lost, and she is telling them the story of the key. A young man gave it to her as a girl, and she has been pursuing this man ever sense. The film slips without explanation from the present, to scenes from the actress's life, to scenes from her movies, always with the film crew the age they are in the present, as though they are watching her life as a film. It all culminates in this scene, where she has just found the key after losing it for a couple of years, and at the same time has been given a twenty year old note from the man she's always been chasing, by a prison guard who had arrested him.

28. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in the rain. Time to die.

29. Three come to mind:
3) "Along Came Bialy" - Nathan Lane leading all of those little old ladies with their walkers down Fifth Avenue.. such a gorgeous shot! The trees, the cares, the sky.. gorgeous!

2) The ending scene in Breakfast At Tiffany's. I still can't hold it together. It's too much!

1) Marty McFly is screaming down the street, Doc slides down the power line to re-connect the plug, the lightning strikes, and a trail of fire. All with that incredible piece of music screaming in the background. 23 years later, it still holds-up perfectly. They don't make movies like this anymore..
