Is that the scene where she is standing on the balcony (the feds are in her house after the robbery) and she has to wave him off down below because it is not safe for him to come home? That scene is the saddest of almost any movie I have ever seen...

Saddest scenes I can recall in movies:

The Professional - when Leon forces Mathilda down the chute
Road to Perdition - when Jude law shoots Tom Hanks and Tom begs his son not to shoot Jude Law
BraveHeart - when Wallace's wife gets murdered
Dances with Wolves - when the wolf is shot
Jesus Christ Supertart - when Jesus sings to God
Terms of Endearment - when Debra Winger dies
Sophies Choice - when she has the flashback
Moulin Rouge - death scene
Cold Mountain - when Ada sees Edmund falling
The Champ - when the little boy keeps repeating Wake Up Champ
The English Patient - the cave scene when he is mourning

>>>You seen the movie?

>>Yes... and I'm impressed. They had the courage to have scenes longer than a second, to actually let their character speak more than just soundbites, to make it a damn near Russian movie. And yet it's ot just another disneyesque sugarcoated WHS (warm human story). Though, quite unexpectedly, I felt bored at times, just because I was conditioned into the rapid fire cuts of today's movies. Didn't expect a story of this size in an American movie.

>I was with you right up to the generalized swat at American movies at the end. The studios put out a lot of garbage these days, we agree about that, but there are also plenty of movies worth seeing.

>Here's another recommendation, now that you guys have my mind going a mile a minute about movies before 6 a.m. "Heat". Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino star, with Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Juliana Marguiles (sp.?), Tom Sizemore, Dennis Haystert, Ted Levine, and others in supporting roles. Oh, and Natalie Portman in a vivid secondary part. Michael Mann ("Miami Vice") directed and it has the distinctive Mann feel -- terrific background music, night scenes lit to high heaven, always the sense of something about to happen. To me it's a beautiful job of straddling the line between the old character-driven movies and the modern blockbuster imperative to Blow Things Up Real Good. The bank heist is a classic. An earlier robbery of an armored truck, planned to the last detail, is not bad, either.

>There are at least three classic scenes. The bank heist is one. The scene with DeNiro and Pacino in the coffee shop is another. The basic setup is DeNiro is a meticulous high end thief and Pacino is the L.A. cop and ex-Marine who is trying to catch him. Pacino's squad is after DeNiro's gang, DeNiro knows they know, and Pacino knows they know we know. Pacino pulls DeNiro over on an L.A. freeway and says let's go have a cup of coffee. What is striking about the ensuing scene is that they are so much alike. I won't spoil any more of it. One of my favorite scenes in the last 20 years.

>The last scene between Ashley Judd and Val Kilmer is also a killer if you have an ounce of romanticism in your soul.
