Top 5 Scenes of 2009

My own category

5. Shoot out Scene-Bad Lieutenant

I could watch it over and over again, as Nic Cage in all his crazy glory watches and laughs as a blood bath occurs around him. While we are at it, throw in a break dancing soul.

4. Expectations Vs. Reality-500 Days of Summer

This great split screen scene features Joseph Gordon Levitt battling his expectations in that harsh face of reality, welcome to my life.

3. The Discovery-The Road

Forget any horror film you have seen this year, nothing will scare you more than a gruesome discovery our protagonist stumble upon in The Road.

2. Sniper Scene and Opening Scene-The Hurt Locker


There is Hitchcockian tension in both these scenes. The better of the two is the Sniper Scene which not only features a cameo from Ralph Fiennes but some incredible tension and character development all rolled into one.

1. The Opening and Card Game Scene-Inglourious Basterds


Perfect filmmaking. Enough Said.



Honorable Mentions:

Opening Montage of UP
End of A Serious Man
Edward Norton Cameo in Invention of Lying
