Cooper wants to know who will pay for it if she cuts off Charlotte's(Bette's) trust fund/alllowance. As the two women go back and forth, Charlotte finally says "I'm not afraid Mother." It is completes Charlotte's transformation and Davis beautifully/tenderly plays the scene.<br /><br />Another memorable BD moment happens in Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte. Bette has been drugged and gaslighted during the course of the movie. Near the end of the movie, we discover the answers to some mysteries and so does Bette. She awakens to hear those who have been victimizing her brag about their deeds. Bette is on the balcony and pushes a huge cement planter on the evildoers, killing them. The smirk on Bette's face says it all!Gilby37https://www.blogger.com/profile/12559239743969365425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-67830207989433454242010-06-05T19:38:12.714-04:002010-06-05T19:38:12.714-04:00When Tommy Kirk tells his Mom (Dorothy McGuire) th...When Tommy Kirk tells his Mom (Dorothy McGuire) that he's needs to be the one to shoot (the now rabid) Old Yeller because Yeller is his dog.

Paul and Sark, I am a Mel Brooks fanatic, and I remember in "History of the World, Part I" the French Revolution part, where the LeFarge Inn had a sign that said "Serving the scum of Paris for years." I loved that. Dawn, the scene in the alley with the cat was a tearjerker indeed. And Greg, that scene in "Ben Hur" was haunting. Don't you think the music strongly underscored that memory? I think a movie score can make or break a scene like that. It was very powerful.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-74024291182361092172010-05-24T23:22:10.644-04:002010-05-24T23:22:10.644-04:00The Quasimodo scene reminds me of a scene in Ben-H...The Quasimodo scene reminds me of a scene in Ben-Hur where Judah has collapsed from exhaustion and a man hands him a ladle of water. A Roman guard tells the man there is no water for him but then shy's away when he locks eyes with the stranger. Judah looks up in awe at the good samaritan and drinks. We all know that this man was Jesus Christ.Greg Jourdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560451077421842786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-13512865659946118922010-05-24T13:02:02.521-04:002010-05-24T13:02:02.521-04:00Another Mel Brooks one, from HIGH ANXIETY: Cloris ...Another Mel Brooks one, from HIGH ANXIETY: Cloris Leachman is describing the evening plans, including dinner, and completely deadpan, she says, "Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup." Then she shoots a quick glance to Harvey Korman.

My boys and I are always quoting a favorite scene from Mel Brooks' YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN - Gene Wilder and Marty Feldman are digging up a grave. Wilder says "What a filthy job!" Feldman says "Could be worse, could be raining". Thunder and rain follow immediately. "Could be worse, could be raining" is my life motto!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969235851384102162.post-60356070714373146122010-05-24T10:19:42.200-04:002010-05-24T10:19:42.200-04:00I'll always remember that part in CASABLANCA w...I'll always remember that part in CASABLANCA when Claude Rains needs a reason to shut down Rick's Cafe, and he says, "I'm shocked, shocked to learn there's gambling in here!" He's then approached by a man holding out money to him and telling him, "Your winnings, sir." Then Claude thanks him and takes the money. That is such a laugh-out loud moment, and I quote that endlessly around my house.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.com
