One of my favorite websites is Awards Daily, a brilliant site that keeps the Oscar buzz going all year. It's where I hear a lot of important movie news for the first time - one of the reasons I check it daily. Today, there's a great post about the best scenes from this year's batch of films, so I thought I'd share some of my own picks:
-The hallway fight in Inception; it's the first time a film has made me cry from sheer technical prowess.
-The ending of Toy Story 3 - really, from the incinerator scene on. Pixar are the masters of crafting emotional, meaningful moments like this.
-The first flight in How to Train Your Dragon - it left me breathless, and was the scene (/movie) that gave me faith in 3-D. For me, it was more impressive than Avatar.
-The scene when Julianne Moore's character apologizes to her family in The Kids Are All Right. It was such an honest, sincere scene, and the actors handled it brilliantly.
-The part of Waking Sleeping Beauty that chronicles Beauty and the Beast's premiere in its incomplete state, along with the passing of Howard Ashman. Such a bittersweet juxtaposition of significant moments in Disney's animation history.
-When the titular Mother finds out what actually happened in the alley. It turned the whole film on its head.
