Cool thread idea. Good scene too.

But I'll try and think about it.

My favorite LINE would be:

"Okay campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cold out there today. It's cold out there every day."

Bill actually delivers this line twice. The first time it's upbeat and enthusiastic as he looks forward to a day of using his foreknowledge to have a fun and exciting day. The second time it's delivered like a dirge as Phil wallows in a depression that not even death can bring an end to.

I don't know if it would qualify as my absolute favourite scene of all-time, but I've always loved this moment from The Bridge on the River Kwai:

It's a simple scene, but I love how these two characters (who have been struggling against each other through most of the film) come to some sort of understanding of each other while still not quite connecting. Alec Guinness' speech on legacy also resonates really powerfully, is essential to the film's themes, and yet is delivered in such a casual way. I't's also just beautifully shot.

Thanks for your responses, guys.

I genuinely expected a comical Doomsday response, but when it didn't come I was quietly pleased.

This thread is more important than my usual wasted shtick...this carries genuine weight.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Neverending, Doomsday, Dracula, Frizzo the Clown have to submit.

One scene. And only one.

DOROTHY MANTOOTH IS A SAINT.

I have a scene in mind, but it might sort of spoil my top 100 thread so I'm holding off.
