Movie moments you've remembered for years.

Love the Arthurian stuff. Ever seen "Hearts and Armor"?

No, I haven't. But I will soon. I just asked my husband to look for it.

Oh, another movie I remember vividly. The Exorcist. I was 13 when I saw it, and it scared me so much I slept on the floor of my parents bedroom for weeks. It's kind of mind blowing to think about how terrified I was then, now, as an atheist I watch stuff like that and am amused. My friend's parents were devout Catholics and took us to see it one night when I was there for a sleepover. I remember my mother was really pissed off at her parents for taking us to see it without her permission (for my 13th birthday present, no less). Even then, way back when she recognized it as a form of abuse.

The last movie that really scared me was Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth". Charleston Heston screwed it up as "The Omega Man", and Will Smith gored out with "I am Legend", but Vinnie is still the king. (A zombie movie before "The Night of the Living Dead".)

The chess-playing scene in "The Thomas Crown Affair." The original, with Steve McQueen & Faye Dunaway.

The end of "The Heiress:" "Oh, yes, I can be very cruel. I was trained by masters." Several scenes in that movie. When the father begs the suitor's sister to tell him something good about her brother, and she puts on her gloves and leaves. Silently. When the heiress sits up all night, twittery with excitement, waiting for the suitor to come and get her, then realizes he's never coming. Still others. God, I love that movie.

"The Pianist," when her husband, who never does get any, spies on her from under the floor. When she finally gets naked with the gone-native ex-pat. When her husband cuts part of her finger off. When he throws the piano overboard. When the little girl gets horny and rubs all over the trees. That was some hot movie.

"Portrait of a Lady." When she stands in the rain talking to someone in a coach. When she passes out in Egypt from sheer horniness. When the cruel husband steps on her skirt and pushes her down on her hands and knees. I think I'm the only person in the world who understood that movie. And I didn't understand all of it.

Jeeze, I could go on and on.

Bladerunner is on BBC2 right now. In a few minutes, we'll come to that moment where Deckard's air-car rises above the city rain to the Tyrell building ...
