Those moments in Cameron Crowe films where its so authentically him. You know them and they make his movies seem so personal. Here are a few of my favorites
Jerry Maguire saying, "You Complete Me" to Dorthy Boyd
William Miller saying, "Ask Me Again" to Penny Lane
Lloyd Dobler saying, "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pin"
The Elevator Sequeance in Vanilla Sky
there are many more that i love but these are a few that come to mind
lloyd dobler saying "are you here because you need somebody or because you need me?....Forget it, I don't wanna know."
Quote from: BankyWilliam Miller saying, "Ask Me Again" to Penny Lane
I thought Crowe said that was all Fugit.
It was
i know but the fact that crowe took that from editing and used it made it a Crowe moment
Russell Hammond saying what he likes about music, "To begin with, everything"

Gotcha.
Lloyd: "The rain on my car is a baptism."
the dialogue in Almost Famous about "that woo"
man this movie kills me
when Penny Lane is upset in that resteraunt in NY toward the end and Russell and William both stand up and look at each other
Whoooooooo
the looking in that film almost ruins it.
anyway, in regards to this topic.. every piece of dialogue in every crowe movie.
when william is dancing with nearly passed out penny and confesses his love to her.
the peter gabriel "in your eyes" scene in say anything.
Something like "I'm frozen, you're dead and I love you" in Vanilla Sky.
The whole movie Vanilla Sky is very Crowe-esque , tee hee... :lol:
No. Seriously, the two scenes that involve the legendary red dog .
i think the number one Crowe moment of all time would have to be the Tiny Dancer sing along on the tour bus ending with "You are Home"
Almost Famous: "What kind of beer?".... Penny dancing to Steven's the wind.... Silent Ed's only line...
Vanilla Sky: The scene where Sophia and David are drawing each other and falling in love...awwwww.... "I good you bid evening" and Lee's look after he says that...
Jerry Maguire: I ate a bad peice of pizza and developed a conscience! .... well boo fuckin hoo!
Singles: Bless you.
Say Anything: No brotha you'll have to buy your own!... the "loyd's wiggin" rap... Loyd blowing kisses like sugar ray leonard in the middle of the road.
Quote from: BankyRussell Hammond saying what he likes about music, "To begin with, everything"
That was a beautifully acted line, as well.
or Jerry Maguire when he looked in a fish bowl and said "It was just a mission statment."
um, hellooooo, what about the part when jerry kisses the little kid and dorothy watches and tears up. then she confides in her sister who tells her "don't cry and the beginning of a date, cry at the end like i do." dorothy's walk down the street w/ the music is also a moment that'll give u that good warm feeling.
how about the part when rod leaves the crowd of reporters after his big moment to find jerry and they hug and cry?
Quote from: themodernage02how about the part when rod leaves the crowd of reporters after his big moment to find jerry and they hug and cry?
i dunno. i think rod cries a bit
too much.
hahaha. okay, well what about his "who's coming with me?" speech when he's leaving the office.
Quote from: themodernage02how about the part when rod leaves the crowd of reporters after his big moment to find jerry and they hug and cry?
that is one of the only places in cinema where i cry everytime
Oh god, that scene gets me all the time, too.... probably one of my favorite parts of that movie. I hope Elizabethtown is filled with all new Crowe moments, could anyone who has read the script confirm that???

this is my choice as well...
And i love shots of people regarding another in silent admiration... its just something so human and intimate that is usually lost in films...
(one of the many reasons i love almost famous)
The elevator sequence in Vanilla Sky seem to really effect a lot of people. It really got to me too but I also really love the very last part when David jumps off the building and has all of the images going through his head with Sigur Ros playing. That was the most beautiful sequence of the whole movie I think. That has to be my favorite Cameron Crowe moment.
I love the scene where they flashback to what "really happened" after David's death: the party/tribute, the look on Sophia's face, just priceless. That and the scene between David and Sophia on the rooftop are so bittersweet it hurts.
"Brian was a true friend"
The infamous elevator sequence. I also just love the opening in the empty street.
i love the moment in almost famous where william tells penny that russell sold her to humble pie for fifty bucks and a case of beer....she begins to cry, then tries to wipe all of her tears away, and smiles through them -- "What kind of beer?"....beautiful
The To Kill a Mocking Bird score (and clip), makes the elevator sequence for me.
&
Lloyd Dobblers sold, bought or processed speech.
Absolutely! The To Kill A Mockingbird clip was the sequence in the elevator for me as well.
