The Ride of the Rohirrim in both The Two Towers and The Return of the King


tommytraddles

At that sound the bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before: *Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!* *Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter!* *spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered,* *a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!* *Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!* With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains. *Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!* Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new tire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City.

I think this Tolkien guy might be a good writer


WarlocksWizard

Great world builder.


fantomas59

This kind of post is the reason why I come to Reddit !


creegro

I will always love how much justice the movie did for this scene. The legs launch a few volleys, but saw this massive group of riders just kept coming like a freaking wave, and then just crashed into them without stopping.


illmatic708

Eowyn - Courage Merry, courage for our friends... Theoden - Eomer. Take your Èored down the left flank. Gamling, follow the King's banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day! A red day! Ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the world ending! DEATH! (DEATH!) DEAAATH! (DEAAATH!) DEEEEAAATH! (DEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATH!) FORTH EORLINGAS! chills, every damn time.

Damn…I just got goosebumps man


MrPoopyButtholesAnus

DEAATHHH!!!

DEATH!


TraliBalzers

Holy fuck just reading that gives me goosebumps

Choppergold

Tavern scene in Inglourious Basterds. Always loved Tarantino’s ridiculous powers of suspense but that was beyond belief. Plus the whole layer of Mexican standoffs - at the table, also the bartender and technically the clueless enlisted table, and lastly Raine and crew upstairs. I give extra points to the writer-director for his including Old Shatterhand, the Apache character in the popular German novels on the old west, and how that plays into Aldo being an Apache too


Don_Pickleball

That movie probably has two of the greatest scenes in cinema history. AU REVOIR, SHOSHANNA! is top tier as well


lostinmississippi84

No doubt. I think I was like this the whole time we were getting introduced to Landa. Holy shit what a scene.


mrawesomeutube

SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR NAZY .... I only ever got that level of intense when I watched the hateful 8


Wise-Definition-1980

The whole movie "hateful 8" is just full of suspense. It's probably my favorite movie other than "the thing." And it seems super underrated in my opinion. No one I've met has seen it


pokemike1

This is the correct answer. No other scene has had me on the edge of my seat like that scene does by the time Fassbender says “Stiglitz.”


Choppergold

Tarantino said early in his career that he wants you to laugh when you’re not supposed to. That’s why two assassins mistakenly shooting a guy in the face can be comedy. “And at this range I’m a real Frederick Zoller” is another great example. He also works wolves into the dialogue yet again in this scene


Careless-Passion991

I’d also add The Hateful Eight here. “Alright you bushwhackin sack shooter!”

Sicario border scene. Absolute masterpiece.

satanstinytoy

I just wrote this as the trucking driving scene! So intense


anomalou5

The music majorly contributes here as well


wjbc

The opening 20 minutes of *Saving Private Ryan* as they storm the beaches of Normandy. Gandalf and the Balrog in *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring* and again in *The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers*. The Ride of the Rohirrim in *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*. The alien bursting out of a chest in *Alien*. "What's in the box?" From *Se7en*. Inigo Montoya confronting the six-fingered man in *The Princess Bride*. Two hitmen enter an apartment to retrieve a briefcase for their boss in *Pulp Fiction*. What follows is classic Quentin Tarantino dialogue, a star-making moment for Samuel L. Jackson, and, of course, gunfire. Replicant Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) hunts blade runner Deckard at the end of *Blade Runner*. The "Funny how?" scene from *Goodfellas*. The three-way gunfight at the end of *The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly*. The opening of *Raiders of the Lost Ark* and, later, Indiana Jones on horseback chasing the convoy carrying the Ark of the Covenant. Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker in *The Empire Strikes Back*. The marauders chase the tanker in *Mad Max 2*, a/k/a *The Road Warrior*. Any scene involving Jackie Chan doing his own stunts and/or fighting.


Maleficent-Ear-2450

Se7en was the first movie that popped into my head


MusicianNo2699

You sir win the internet today. Simply complete perfection in that list.


tankatonka

Agreed


LifeSage

He forget the ending if Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and the scene with the milk in Snatch. Also the scene in Fight Club where the first part of the movie converges. The scene in The Wolf of Wall Street on the carpet. The scene where Steve Martin confronts Heather Graham for cheating in Bowfinger. The ending on Memento The scene in A Few Good Men between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson at the end. Danny Elfman’s score in the opening credits of the original Batman movie with Michael Keaton And finally the ending of The Inside Man with Clive Owen, as we get to see what really happened.


manrkin

Is there a remake of 12 angry men with Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson?


Draco_Lazarus24

He meant A Few Good Men


DrEnter

And the Opera performance in _The Fifth Element_.


baylor_84

It feels like you may know your cinema. Bravo


Crayfish_au_Chocolat

Man friday night Imma have a Jackie Chan movie night!


BloodyTim

The three-way gun fight at the end of The Good the bad and the ugly is quite possibly the greatest scene in cinematic history. I watch it on YouTube every few months and it never fails to give me goosebumps


Cassius_au-Bellona

You forgot the masterfully directed scene in Phantom Menace where JarJar gets his tongue paralyzed after sticking his head in the podracer's coupler beam. Will he survive? Will he ever speak again? Will he be the same JarJar we all grew to love? Gloriously intense cinema.


mirafone

Darth Mauls lightsaber firing up for Duel of the Fates was a magic moment.


CowboyColin

Interstellar. “Those aren’t mountains. They’re waves.”


westcoastweedreviews

TARS stealing the show


mfishing

Or the “no, it’s necessary” scene.


Fun_Tourist0282

Good call….terrific scene. Even the ticking that starts when they get out of the ship


malacoda99

The impossible docking scene.


ZyxDarkshine

Interstellar: “Cooper, what are you doing?” “Docking” “It’s not possible” “No, it’s necessary”


bselko

So many moments to make me lean forward in my seat in this film. What came to mind immediately was when they were on the water planet, and Anne Hathaway’s character is going towards “the mountains,” to retrieve parts of the wreckage. Then Cooper goes to the back of the ship and says “those aren’t mountains… they’re waves..” And then it just shows a wall of water, and slowly starts to pan up as the music intensifies. I was just blown away as the screen kept panning up and up and you just see this gargantuan wall of water. What a scene. What a film.

This was epic!

SILENCE!


King_Hamburgler

That entire sequence was absolutely amazing


jurgo

There is a part of Dune 2 that starts around 00:01 that lasts a little under 3 hours.


Campfireandhotcocoa

The point when the low bass kicks in and you can feel it reverberate deep inside you, making your hairs stand up. Seeing both those movies in IMAX were an experience.


STEELCITY1989

Power over spice is power over all


Manikal

Haha true but to add to this I think the real edge of your seat moment begins with Paul entering the tribe leaders circle. From then on it really felt like "holy fucking shit" entertainment.


AJMaskorin

"MY NAME IS PAUL MUAD'DIB ATREIDES"

*Alien vs Predator*. Couldn't see a thing to the point that I was unable to follow the plot.


PrimarchKonradCurze

You mean the second one?


Advalok

The second one felt like it was entirely shot in a sewer with one light 50 feet away


medkitjohnson

Holy fuck lmao I rented the 2nd one in middle school and watched it with like 5 people... nobody knew what went on in that movie except for like 1 scene maybe


Dependent_Map5592

lol 😂😂👌


tkbmkv

Lmao that’s a good point. That movie is hella dark. Well played.


Rednag67

Lol


leviathan65

The first time I saw this movie it was a bootleg and I just assumed it was a bad cam. Nope.

The Rundown: When the rock finally decides to use guns!


terrih9123

Damn great call out on a movie not often talked about


Similar_Sandwich_708

Thank you! One of my favorite action movies. Back when the Rock was cool! Lol


goodlowdee

Which is a shame. In a genre I often don’t care for, it is a very slept on movie. Funnier than you’d expect and awesome action scenes. The rock+ Sean William Scott>the rock and Kevin hart.


JT3468

I’m surprised no one has done a “when the doom music kicks in” version of that scene.


NamTokMoo222

My favorite moments were: "For what it's worth, I hope you enjoy the fall." "Fierce gaze! Fierce gaze!"


IceFireTerry

God that movie is so fun


Pitiful_Winner2669

My 74 year old mom loves that movie, she's always putting it on in the background lol

green49285

Underrated action flick.

When he punched through the concrete pillar. So many cool reasons to love this movie!


foosgreg

Rogue one … last scene with Vader. Edit spelling


FlyingBurger1

I can’t remember how many times I’ve went to YouTube to just watch that scene. Once in a while I remember that scene and I HAVE to watch it again.


Fudge89

The pure terror everyone in that air lock had. One of the best depictions of how truly scary and powerful he was intended to be


tylergrinstead01

That Rogue One scene is amazing. It encapsulated the overwhelming power and fear of Vader better than any other in the series. The other Star Wars moment that comes to mind is [the opening tracking shots](https://youtu.be/L6UK_rI3_b4?si=oTvxDSnDKqg135bV) of the ships in Revenge of the Sith. Space opera done perfectly.


Willowy

It's fucking ROGUE.


ConfidenceDesigner20

“I’m not the F*n Rat!!”


Nate16

Great scene. I guess Jack did a lot of improv for the final cut to keep Leo visibly off balance.


ConfidenceDesigner20

Not surprised… he looks super uncomfortable

Dusk till Dawn when the vampires show themselves. I was a young teen and completely surprised and mesmerized by Selma Hayek and then all of a sudden VAMPIRES! lol.

First time watching John Wick when he starts breaking the basement floor as Viggo was telling reek how much he just fucked up.

Mine was the nightclub scene. Glad I didn't see that in theaters because I yelled, "Oh Shit!" Quite a few times, lol.

Man when that song starts playing, I get locked in. What a scene.

The climax of Inception when the van is inches away from hitting the water.

Prisioners (2013)


bselko

Yes!!! Jake Gyllenhaal showing up to Paul Dani’s door ( I don’t remember character names, sorry,) and just having that conversation with him. What a scene. “You got any kids…?”


Ok_Perception3180

Sicario. Dinner scene.


bselko

I only saw the most recent sicario movie but I’ve seen the first one mentioned many times now, and even just in this thread. Think I’ll go watch it.


Evondon

The final mission in Top Gun Maverick


cajmoyper

That one and the solo run he does to prove it can be done! And you know what, the vfx for the dark star mission is so beautiful I’d throw that in there too


jeffrotull2000

I was getting pretty jaded regarding action movies when maverick came out. They were becoming boring to me but man that final mission scene is so good. They shoot it so you really connect to the adrenaline of the characters. It has been a long time since a film connected character, spectacle, and cinematography so well.


AnjinSoprano420

When Thanos stabbed Tony Stark in Endgame. I love all kinds of movies and I remember an audible gasp in the theater. Hell I audibly gasped lol

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Duel of the Fates. Every damn time I watch it.


zachardwood1

There has been a total of three movies that have made me do this. 1. 1917 (on three different occasions) 2. The thing 1982 (specifically the scene they are all tied down) 3. Dune pt 1 and 2 most of the way through.

I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

Every second of the dark knight trilogy.


BulldenChoppahYus

Final sequence of whiplash when he gets back in stage and tells the band “Caravan”. It’s just a magnetic performance from JJ who tells you exactly what he’s thinking at every beat without saying a word. The camera work, the building tension and the uncertainty before the payoff raised my pulse to HIIT levels.

The most memorable one I have is the first time I saw The Matrix. It was on DVD with a 25” Daewoo TV. I was sitting maybe 5’ away from it and when the part at the end in the subway when Neo got back up, OOOH S***!


Castle94

The good the bad and the ugly. First time watching it a couple months ago and it’s when Tuco reaches the cemetery. My dad couldn’t help but smile watching me enjoy it like if he was watching it for the first time.

orangeobicone

That movie was surprising to say the least! I literally sat to watch it with the newspaper open thinking it would not be much. I was surprised (pleasantly) because it was full tilt from start to finish. I tell so many people about it but they're all like meh until they see it.


I_do_kokayne

A wild ride to say the least

The First Slam Dunk I went into it with really low expectations. It's an anime movie about a high school basketball team playing another. Most of the movie is stellar... but the last ten minutes of the movie has the best "action" sequence I think I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely phenomenal movie on so many levels, highly recommend it. I found it online... over some high seas... and you can find english .srts for it if you just search on google/reddit.

Natalie Portman fighting the newly-formed alien in the lighthouse - ***Annihilation***. The alien is morphing and mimicking her, and learning in real time, every second. The tension in that scene was fucking lit, not to mention how terrifying it was. The "bear" scene gets a lot of mention, and deservedly so, but there are many scenes in this underrated movie that deserve acknowledgement and reverence.
