Many regrets for sure
Let the Right One In / Morse: the boy treating the vampire girl like shit, refusing to ask her to step in (can't help laughing whenever I see that, that's the baffling moment) and what happens after that... the swimming pool scene... well, the whole movie
The Big Lebowski: Jon Polito's answer to the Dude "the Knutsens", as you're not supposed to drop a name of someone supposed to be important that late in a movie
The Westerner: Gary Cooper offering a lock of Lily Langtree's hair to judge Roy Bean and the subsequent neck touch...
Unfaithfully Yours: Rex Harrison's puzzlement at studying a plan...
Johnny Guitar: the empty glass describing a circle, falling, being caught up by Hayden with a twist of the wrist... the lair of the so-called bad guys...
Mulholland Dr.: the scene the avatar I use comes from... a Naomi Watts close up when at the party, with the city lights, blurred, in the background...
Deep End: the scene at the Skol - Can's Mother Earth, the hot dogs, Jane Asher's cardboard figure, the rhythm maintained all through that scene...
The Manchurian Candidate: when Laurence Harvey finds himself in the past in one particularly elegant camera move; John Frankenheimer was a great great director (Seconds too)...
The Crazies: the very first sequence, prior to the opening credits; the rest of the movie ain't as good
Phantom of the Paradise: the quick succession of scenes leading to Winslow Leach's transformation into the Phantom
I tried to avoid the last scenes of some movies, that could have made a second list (maybe not that long).
I dig the Sonatine moment Toilet mentioned as time stops passing, and Alec Baldwin's speech in GGR too - he's facing top actors in that scene, would you think he'd be impressed? (Rob)
