Welcome to Scene Stealers

A couple days ago, I stumbled upon this countdown at IGN. Everything about it bugged me, and the list wasn't even done being compiled. Just painfully generic choices across the board. Think of a famous movie moment, and it's in that list. The problem, I think, stemmed from having a large group of people try to choose the scenes that go on the list. The more cooks in the kitchen, the more diluted the meal.

It would have been more interesting to allow each of the writers to put together their own lists. It would be more personal, certainly, and there probably wouldn't be a lot of repeats.

I guess that's the point of this blog. Every couple of days or so, I'm going to post a movie scene I really like and talk about it for a few paragraphs. This is not meant to be definitive in any way, and there's no actual ranking. It's just a way for me to talk about elements of movies I like, and maybe you can join in too.
