5 Brilliant Moments In Film

We want to take a break from ranking things and spend some time appreciating the beauty in the
details. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm

What did you think of the list? Do you disagree with any of our picks? Feel like we left out or mis-represented any of the films? What do you think are the best movie moments in film history? What makes a moment stick with you?

What other topics would you like to see us cover in future editions of CineFix Movie Lists?

Let us know in the comments!

THE LIST

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Without saying a single word, we get to watch Shu Lien realize that Jen is a gifted martial artist, and possibly the thief.

2001: A Space Odyssey
It might seem like Hal was struggling and failing to follow the conversation, helplessly looking
back and forth, but by singling in on exactly what matters - their lips - we catch the real meaning.

Inglorious Basterds
While we certainly notice an abrupt shift, and understand immediately that the jig is up and Hellstrom is now a dangerous enemy - and this is probably all that Tarantino was going for - the "how" is better explained later in dialogue.

The Godfather
You have a handful of simple signifiers of film language combining to communicate the complex notion of "Michael deciding to murder two men" all without a single word of expository dialogue

127 Hours
After 5 agonizing days of being trapped under a boulder, Aron Ralston finally cuts through his arm. Our bodies are bizarrely hardwired to respond viscerally to different sounds
