When I was young, my parents loved to watch shitty 80's movies. There's some good, some bad. However, ever now and then, a scene from a movie you don't enjoy really sticks with you. In my case, that movie is "The Bodyguard".
Whitney Houston & Kevin Costner. She's a superstar and he's her bodyguard. He carries around a Katana for reasons(?)

The scene in question is Whitney fucking around with his sword, and he goes to show her how sharp it is by throwing her silk scarf into the air and it slowly falls onto the sword and is cut in half by the sharpness of the blade. Something about that scene has always stuck with me. Every time I sharpen anything, I think about how it still wouldn't be sharp enough to cut a scarf that's falling.



Ok, after watching that link, I realized something. He accidentally drapes the silk onto the sword before he tosses it into the air. If it were really that sharp, it would have been cut right then. Movie magic is magical.



What are some other movie scenes (good or bad) that have stuck with you guys over the years? Even if you didn't like the movie they were in.

Irréversible. The fire extinguisher scene, post rape - what a vile few couple of scenes.

For some reason Anakin saying "I Hate You" is something I think of often. Pretty much every time something kinda bothers me, like a kid crying during a movie. or someone having an opinion I disagree with.

Add in "I have the high ground" and "You were my brother" and I find that whole fight scene funny and memorable

re-animator, saw this when i was 6, i have no idea why, i'm pretty sure my sisters boyfriend rented it.

nothing has really fazed me since, when you're 6 and you see a zombie hold up his own decapitated head so he can eat out a hot naked girl

Took me a while to figure out what fucked up movie i watched as a kid, kinda made sense it was written by HP lovecraft.

The Cell had a scene where a young woman was being drowned in a glass box. When it was almost full the girl started to really panic and call for her daddy and called out she was a good girl. I was a new dad to a little girl at the time of viewing and it really left an imprint on me. Hated that movie but the scene was memorable.

Doubling down on the Cell. Most people I've met hate the movie and it definitely has its problems but I like it a lot, but those scenes in the doll house with the little boy getting abused bothered the shit out of me.

i remember the cell being visually pleasing, not to mention it was 18 years ago, it suffered from having fucking jlo as the lead.

That's the one that had a horse standing there, then glass shoot down between it and slowly separate the "plates"?

I remember that.

The thread isn't only movies you hate. Just scenes that were very memorable.

I saw it when I was 5, so all I remember is that scene. I've seen most of it later and it's fine. Also the title could be construed as SCENES from movies you didn't like that stuck with you.

I've heard a few people say this and I'm always like

Used Car Salesman Lou is a terrible Morningstar! Lucifer was the most beautiful of God's angels. This should have been Lucifer in Constantine -

Lou's just a high level demon drawing all the heat while the actual Lucifer is pulling all the strings. You barely have to change the movie at all for it to work. Neil Gaiman, now there is a guy that knows how to write Lucifer -

For me personally Al Pacino's version of the character in Devil's Advocate is perfect outside of perhaps Al not looking the part all that much. But even so it almost fits. "Look at me, underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now would you?" And of course his excellent monologue towards the end of the film -
