Both of the Gandalf's Fall scenes. The first one in its raw emotion, the second in its epic scale, both in their amazing score.

To set the scene for those who haven't seen Subway, prior to this scene the cops and Metro security have been searching for a woman whose rich husband has reported her missing (she's with Christopher Lambert). But then the head of security spots his nemesis: the elusive Rollerskater, the most successful pickpocket on the entire Metro system:

No clips again, but Sailor Suit and Machine Gun (1981) has one of the greatest oners ever. It starts with a yakuza looking for a girl, pans to show the girl with a bunch of friends on a giant statue. She gets off the statue and walks off with the yakuza, and they get onto a motorbike. They're joined by a bunch of others on motorbikes, and they set off through a busy street. The camera remains looking at the girl on the motorbike, and the others eventually leave on their own way, leaving them alone on the street. The oner finally ends a mile or more from the start.

No digital back then, and a low budget film so no trickery. Just one shot, nearly 6 minutes long, spanning a mile or more geographically, through busy streets and lots of traffic.

That's great mate. You're right, I don't understand a word of french but that was incredibly universal. I recently watched the 400 blows from Truffaut (a big blindspot of mine) and had "Shoot the Piano Player" and "Day for Night" earmarked as next, but think I might give that a watch as it seems right up my alley. Cheers.

You're in for a treat. Stolen Kisses is part of the same series as 400 Blows. This is the same character (and actor) as in 400 Blows.

There's been fiction and non-fiction books written by great philosophers on existentialism and absurdism. In one single scene, Woody Allen has managed to boil down to the very essence what the philosophies are about. And by doing so adding great comedic affect.

Which bit? The Riots or Said looking at the Police before meeting Vince? Such a brilliant film. Wish they’d sort the subtitles out though. The white subs blend into the picture a lot and you can’t read what’s happening.

I've seen subway more than a 100 times, but not once for the past 25 years!. I may have to buy a new DVD player. This thread has eaten my afternoon, I missed the post office by watching all the clips. Capon, you are a culture consuming Vulture. Telekon, Annie Hall is probably the greatest of all the Woody Allen films. I also have a massive soft spot for Hannah and Her Sisters. I used it as an example to illustrate the love of my mom for her sisters at her funeral in August just gone. If I could embed, it would be the fountain scene from La Dolce Vita:

Yeah all that,the monologue,the riots then the camera focus on Said with the police and then here we go with the story.
I thought it was brilliant as was the whole film,very unique.
Have to have a watch again during the weekend,it's been 2 decades since i last saw it.

An early scene and a middle scene from the same film with incredible dialogue that reflect each other thematically. The romantic chemistry between Grant and Hepburn is off the charts too:

Some great choices over the last couple of pages by the way, the ones in Amadeus, Touch of Evil and Paris Texas are all fantastic.

The framing and editing in this scene is just so exquisite, the little details in each shot really give you an impression of the characters' inner lives and why they would be drawn to each other. There's also that great contrast between their domestic situations, culminating in that really clever mirroring towards the end.
