Ok I'm done for a bit.

The Warden from The Shawshank Redemption. Satisfying as hell.

Maybe at first but doesn't he commit suicide though? Takes the easy way out.

[Philip J. Fry]

It's not that much about the suicide, but about Andy owning him so blatantly.

[Philip J. Fry]

What is it? I can't see it.

Yeah I like that one because he does die, but its a short comeuppance.

It's the Breakdown ending. I wanted a clip of Kurt Russel kicking J.T. Walsh in the face.

[Dukefrukem]

Oh fuck. How could I forget.

For me the comeuppance is more about being thoroughly bested by Andy than him dying or not. As Red said "I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him."

Good point, agreed. But I still wish he had to wallow in longer lol.

I guess we still have the Clancy Brown prison guard, you know, the guy Red said that cried like a little girl.

And speaking of Darabont films, how about this doozy?

[Mysterious Dude]

Two deaths I found very satisfying:

Tommy in Goodfellas
Amon Goeth in Schindler's List

[Morris Schæffer]

It's the Breakdown ending. I wanted a clip of Kurt Russel kicking J.T. Walsh in the face.

Wish this would come to blu-ray or UHD.

"Am I hallucinating here? Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Learning about Cuba and having some food."

Dangerous Liasons, final scene:

"The chain in those handcuffs is high tensile steel. It'll take you 10 minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you can hack through your ankle in 5 minutes."

Another good one!

This might be my favorite: The first time Doc Holliday (Victor Mature) meets Wyatt Earp (Henry Fonda) in "My Darling Clementine."

Notice the way Mature's actions are all short and violent while Fonda, in contrast, barely moves. The look on their faces at the end, traded during different beats, is also priceless.

I love the way this scene establishes the character of Doc while demonstrating to the audience, in a dramatic and entertaining fashion, that Earp is waaaaaay smarter that we may have thought --- and that he's just as dangerous as Doc is, but in a different way.

LOVE this one, and you made me need to watch this one again soon. Thank you!
