Every scene in 'Vertigo'!

There are a number of fine moments in "The Electric Horseman", speaking of Robert Redford (and Jane Fonda). The best is at the end when she turns to him and says, "Norman, did you ever think it was going to be so difficult to get rid of a pain in the ass
like me?" and he replies, "Ma'am, you have no idea." They are both impossibly beautiful,
Fonda is at her most beautiful ever.

Speaking of Fonda, her frightening scene in "Klute" is to me the greatest thing I have ever seen in the movies.

The second greatest is the redemption scene in "Redbeard".

There is a lovely moment in "Grand Hotel" when Greta Garbo falls in love with John Barrymore.   He turns slightly away from her and she looks at him with inexpressible tenderness, as if he were some kind of glowing object, some implausible salvation. It
is beyond love, it is as if she suddenly became aware of the strange magic of living things.

yours,
