I'm sorry, I just came by to thank you for WRECKING MY LIFE!

My list of top ten greatest movie scenes that I can think of right now:

1. Almost Famous- Penny Lane OD's on qualudes
"I'm about to go where many men have gone before."
I just watched this movie last night...I love it love it love it. My friend who watched it with me (his first time) said "I think that may have been better than Jerry Maguire." Well, yeah...obviously. And while I have many "favorite" parts, my most favorite is when William chases Penny back to the hotel through the street filled with cabs while Elton John's "Mona Lisa" plays then finds her hopped up on qualudes in the hotel room. It's just perfect, especially Kate Hudson's response of "I'm awake" everytime William shouts "Wake up." It's so subtle, so wonderful. When she says "Why doesn't he love me?" it breaks my f*cking heart. Then...then the hotel doctor comes to pump Penny's stomach as "Mon Cherie Amour" plays with perfect irony. God, it's so good.

2. My Own Private Idaho- Campfire Scene
"I love you, and you don't pay me. "
The only thing I really like about this movie is River Phoenix and his best moment is at the campfire with Keanu Reeves who just sucks (no intended reference to movie's subject matter) no matter how hard he tries (bless his damn heart). Just watching that scene, which I watched twice in a row, it's that good, it made me remember how great of an actor River was, in this and Running on Empty, it made me think of that too.

Scott Favor: I only have sex with a guy for money.
Mike Waters: Yeah, I know.
Scott Favor: And two guys can't love each other.
Mike Waters: Yeah.
Mike Waters: Well, I don't know. I mean... I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me.
Scott Favor: Mike...
Mike Waters: I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you.

3. Closer- Clive & Natalie at the strip club
"My name is Jane Jones"
It's a toss up for who's sexier in this scene. I mean, sure there are things I want to do to Clive Owen that I can't type here, there may be children reading (I'm really popular amongst the 12 year old demographic). And Natalie, I envy her beauty, she's so hot in this movie, I looked at my a** in the mirror afterwards and it looks nothing like hers. For that, I want to hate f*ck her.

4. Rushmore- Dinner scene
"I wrote a hit play. And I'm in love with you."
This is my favorite movie ever. When people ask me "What 's your favorite movie" I say "Rushmore". Get it...I like the movie. And this scene is what initially peeked my interest, it's the following interaction from the preview that I found so hilarious I dragged my friends to see the movie, despite their pleas to see "Cruel Intentions" instead. They later thanked me for this.

Max Fischer: I like your nurse's uniform, guy.
Dr. Peter Flynn: These are O.R. scrubs.
Max Fischer: Oh, are they?

5. Wet Hot American Summer- Trip to town
"It's always great to get away from camp, even if only for an hour."
I laughed my a** off at this scene...the smoking...pushing the old lady...the drugs...everything, hilarious.

And here's a random quote from some other scene in the movie:
"Oh yeah, there's some kids caught in the obstacle course. I meant to tell you about that yesterday."

6. Crossroads- Britney Spears & Dan Ackroyd's father/daughter moment
"I'm the valedictorian."
I've never laughed as hard in my entire life when Britney delivered this line. Funny. as. hell. Plus, watching Dan Ackroyd hit a career low, that was funny too. I saw this film in Austin as part of the "Mr. Sinus Theater 3000" series and my favorite quote from them was whenever the pregnant friend said "You can be my back up singers" referring to some singing competition, one of the Mr. Sinus guys said "B*tch, do you know who I am" and the look of Britney's face at that moment was priceless. It was like a deer in headlights. Watching her act, so great. I don't know if that's funny if you weren't there, but that's what a lot of my humor is like anyway.

7. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- Mark Ruffalo dancing on the bed in his undies
No quote...just the mental image.
I just have such a crush on him in this movie, maybe it's the glasses, maybe it's that he's them most adorable person to walk this earth, like a bunny in human form. The only thing I would have changed would be if instead of him dancing with Kirsten Dunst he would have punched her in the face.

8. Thirteen- Evan Rachel Wood's breakdown at the end
"Don't call me a slut. MOM! MASON JUST CALLED ME A SLUT! "
I still think she should have been nominated for best actress. I mean, I'm thinking about it right now, I don't think about it daily, I don't wake up thinking "God, why wasn't she nominated!" It's not like I'm obsessed or anything. But yeah...even though I wasn't anything like Tracy when I was 13 in the social aspect, I was completely like her in my relationship w/ my mother (universal themes, pay attention). Every time my mom would say "How was your day?" I'd respond with as much attitude as I could muster "Fine!". I was such a goddamn brat. I'm pretty sure my mom regretted having me b/w the ages of 13-18. She might say she didn't, but I know the truth.

9. Walking and Talking- Anne Heche & Catherine Keener talking about the wedding (can't specify which moment, but I think they're in someone's kitchen)
"Do we really have to listen to this vagina music all the way there?"
This movie is my relationship with Ashley...Ashley is Anne Heche (without the lesbian phase, though there was that one day...) and I'm Catherine. It's just exactly the way I can picture it when Ashley gets engaged (b/c she will be first and I'm okay with that b/c I'm not sure if I even want to get married I might just be fine meeting someone and living in sin until it gets boring or we start hating each other) I lost track after that aside. Oh...I can see me getting jealous of Ashley b/c I'm losing her to this other person b/c these are things I've already felt, b/c it really is that saddest thing when you realize you're no longer the person she comes to w/ everything. But you move on and you accept this. But the scene where Catherine says "All this time you've been talking about how you feel and nobody's asked me how I feel." That's not exact, but it's something like that. Something I would say, making it about me and not her. And the movie's got a great soundtrack by Billy Bragg.

10. Police Academy 1: Any scene
"Sleeping is for fags."
Basically, I can't think of anything else right now. Gotta love Steve Guttenberg.
