CINEMATIC HOLY MOMENTS: 1980
by Toby
Max chases the biker to his demise. (eyes popping out, 18wheeler crash, etc.)
climactic convoy race
Shootout in Northfield, MN
The literal “puking your guts out” scene; complete with bleeding eyes. Essentially my reaction to Fox News -.
Danny’s first vision of the Overlook elevator
Possessed wheelchair in the attic!
Conrad & Dr. Berger’s breakthrough. “..Let me feel bad about this.” Rainfall audible outside. Intercut with images of his drowning brother. Adapted beautifully from the book
Splintered door victim. the slow "Ocular Death" murder scene
1st Infantry stumbles upon Falkenau concentration camp
fighting 3 Kryptonians over Metropolis -
John’s final slumber and the vision & voice of his mother that follows over stars
Reverend Cleophus James’ (James Brown) Sunday revival service
A marooned Luke almost gets stepped on by an AT-AT, then brings it down single-handedly. **battle on Hoth**
the cat & mouse stalking sequence that takes place within the Metro Museum of Art.. Few directors staged voyeuristic ‘people watching’ as expertly as De Palma or Hitch
Jake dips his hand in ice & the montage that follows. Color super-8 footage intercut with B&W victories.. The way Thelma & Marty visually illustrate the passing of time
Steadicam finale in a wintry hedge mazealso;
[re-upload from the now defunct thewanderingimage.tumblr.com]
my personal favorite moments from films to receive a 1980 U.S. release. Not all of which made my actual “Best Films of 1980” list, but at least had incredible segments that stayed with me since first viewing. Scenes that I’m sure I’ll want to re-visit again and again.
+ = was actually featured on Toby's 1980 "Best of"
