I could have picked perhaps any scene in this movie, and it would have been a classic. And I may just put more scenes up later, but this is one of the best from the movie, Goodfellas (1990).
If this is a movie you haven't seen, it is a movie you must see, especially if you like Gangster movies. Based on the non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, and directed by the great Martin Scorsese, Goodfellas follows the story of Henry Hill (Ray Liotta), and his fellow wiseguy colleagues, Jimmy "The Gent" Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) during their rise and fall in organized crime, spanning three decades.
In this scene, quick tempered Tommy is rattled by another gangster Billy Batts (Frank Vincent), and things quickly turn violent.
Martin Scorsese is on top form when directing this movie, and this is without a doubt a classic. I challenge anyone to not enjoy this movie. The main cast preform fantastically, Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci all being at the very top of their game. This movie is truly one of the greatest gangster films ever made.

Spectacular: American Beauty
I'm not sure where most people stand on this movie, but for me, it's one of my favorites of all time. Directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball, American Beauty is the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey) a middle-aged office worker who has a midlife crisis and becomes infatuated with his daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). There is really more to the movie than that, but for the nature of this scene, that is all that is necessary to give away.
There is so much about this movie I think makes it great, to name a few; Kevin Spacey's performance. I'm a Spacey fan as it is, but he was just top notch in this, not much more than that to say, he was fantastic in this movie. It also helps that the movie score was Thomas Newman, who is a well known composer when it comes to film scores, and did a great job here. And finally the directing and writing of this movie and just to a standard that you don't see often in film. Some people have a different opinion about this movie, but if you ask me, this is truly a modern classic.

Getting the ball rolling
Got some free time on my hands, so I'm setting up this blog to share some of my favorite moments from some of the great, (And not so great) movies and Television shows out there.
The first scene I've chosen to blog, is from Mike Judge's Office Space, starting (among other) Ron Livingston, Jennifer Anistion and Gary Cole. The movie follows Peter Gibbons (Ron Lovingston) in very routine office job, reprogramming bank software for the expected Y2K disaster. Much of the movie revolves around common day annoyances of office life. I wont give away the major plot of the movie, but I will say it's other a watch, and it's title as a cult classic.
In this scene Gibbons and his fellow workmates, vent their anger on the office fax machine, which had been refusing to work correctly.
The song in the video is Ghetto Boyz - Still
