Hotel Rwanda...
The scene when the Catholic nuns and the Rwanda children are walking into the compound, the rain falling, and the camera-guys trying to bring the children with them...

Re: Pursuit of happiness
Have you just been dumped?
I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.
Re: Greatest Film Sequences
I have a few
Pulp Fiction:
The first
Ezekial 25:17
The second being the scene where they administer the Adrenaline shot to Uma Thurman's character.
The fight scene in Morocco in the Bourne Ultimatum in which Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) puts a book into the bad guy's neck and proceeds to punch it into oblivion. Intense.
The opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan and the closing sequences with the older Ryan paying his respects to Hank's character.
BTW, did anybody notice that in Gladiator when the Barbarians were chanting they were using the same chant used by the Zulus in the movie ZULU?
And the dogfight sequences in The Battle For Britain are the best that I have ever seen and probably the only good ones in existence.
O and in The Thin Red Line when the men were attacking up the ridges, and also when they took the MG bunker and also the Japanese encampment. Those were some of the best war scenes that I have seen in a war movie on the Pacific Theater. Also it is an underrated film that should get more respect.

All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
Re: Greatest Film Sequences
Probably not the best, but some scenes that always manage to hit a nerve are:
The opening scene of Sin City, with the hired hitman and his victim on the balcony.
V's introduction speech and the following orchestra in V for Vendetta
The charge of the Rohirrim at the Pellenor in Return of the King.
Re: Greatest Film Sequences
The opening scene from Lucky Number Sleven.

"Not anymore you don't"

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
