100 Greatest Scenes Number 27: Church Fight – Views from the Sofa

Views from the Sofa’s 100 Greatest Scenes is a list of the 100 greatest moments in the movies. This could be long introductions, moments of action or great dialogue between characters. The scenes are in no particular order and come from many different types of movies.

Kingsman successfully pulled the rug on many preconceived ideas. It managed to reshape the spy movie, making it fun, tongue-in-cheek, ultra-cool, ultra-violent and thoroughly entertaining. The better and more effective rug-pull was making Colin Firth an action hero. The button-up, sophisticated gentleman from the Bridget Jones movies manages to throw off the shackles here and goes full James Bond. There is now where else this is better exemplified than in the great Church-Fight scene

Stanley Kubrick Biography Filmography

The story behind Gunnery Sergeant Hartman’s speech from Full Metal Jacket

Gandhi Best trailers ever

It is pretty hard to call yourself a movie fan if you have not seen this absolute classic, it gives us a mesmerising performance by Ben Kingsley and an epic movie on a huge scale.

Strange Days a clever and inventive trailer

What I love about this trailer for Strange Days is that it is simply a monologue by Ralph Fiennes setting out the principals of this action-drama, but it does not feature any footage from the actual movie, yet still manages to be very enticing

Storyline

Set in the year 1999 during the last days of the old millennium, the movie tells the story of Lenny Nero, an ex-cop who now deals with data-discs containing recorded memories and emotions. One day he receives a disc which contains the memories of a murderer killing a prostitute. Lenny investigates and is pulled deeper and deeper in a whirl of blackmail, murder and rape. Will he survive and solve the case? IMDB

The Man who would be King Michael Caine Sean Connery Trailer

Today is Sean Connery’s 86th birthday

Both Michael Caine and Sean Connery have said that this is their favourite movie. This funny old fashioned romp is worth watching just to see Connery drilling his newly formed army. He also performs all his own stunts. Caine met his wife on the set.

Rogue One Trailer (feat. Beastie Boys) works so well

As some readers may have noticed I am not a huge fan of Star Wars and I am not a fan of The Beastie Boys. BUT this trailer works amazingly well, the music fits seamlessly with the images.

Big thanks to Lloyd for pointing this out to me, check out his movie site HERE
