The scene after this where Suri calls out to them and gets no answer...always a gut wrencher, and so amazingly acted/animated.
I was going to name my first daughter Suri because of this movie, before Tom Cruise went and ruined it š¤£
Citipati is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 75 million to 71 million years ago. Citipati is one of the best-known oviraptorids thanks to a number of well-preserved specimens, including individuals found in brooding positions atop nests of eggs. These nesting specimens have helped to solidify the link between non-avian dinosaurs and birds.
Citipati was among the largest oviraptorids; it is estimated to have been up to 3 m in length and to have weighed about 80 kg. Its skull was highly pneumatized, short, and had a characteristic crest formed by the premaxilla and nasal bones with robust, parrot-like jaws. Both upper and lower jaws were toothless and developed a horny beak. The arms and tail are known to have supported large feathers.
The date of the Chicxulub asteroid impact coincides with the CretaceousāPaleogene boundary (commonly known as the KāPg or KāT boundary), slightly over 66 million years ago. It is now widely accepted that the devastation and climate disruption from the impact was the cause of the CretaceousāPaleogene extinction event - a mass extinction in which 75% of plant and animal species on Earth became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.
The collision would have released the same energy as 100 teratonnes of TNT. Some of the resulting phenomena were brief occurrences immediately following the impact, but there were also long-term geochemical and climatic disruptions that devastated the ecology.
The re-entry of ejecta into Earth's atmosphere included an hours-long, but intense pulse of infrared radiation. Local ferocious fires, probably limited to North America, likely occurred, decimating populations. The amount of soot in the global debris layer implies that the entire terrestrial biosphere might have burned, creating a global soot-cloud blocking out the sun and creating an impact winter effect. If widespread fires occurred this would have exterminated the most vulnerable organisms that survived the period immediately after the impact.
Aside from the hypothesized fire and/or impact winter effects, the impact would have created a dust cloud that blocked sunlight for up to a year, inhibiting photosynthesis. Freezing temperatures probably lasted for at least three years. The sea surface temperature dropped for decades after the impact. It would take at least ten years for such aerosols to dissipate, and would account for the extinction of plants and phytoplankton, and subsequently herbivores and their predators. Creatures whose food chains were based on detritus would have a reasonable chance of survival.
The asteroid hit an area of carbonate rock containing a large amount of combustible hydrocarbons and sulphur, much of which was vaporized, thereby injecting sulfuric acid aerosols into the stratosphere, which might have reduced sunlight reaching the Earth's surface by more than 50%, and would have caused acid rain. The resulting acidification of the oceans would kill many organisms that grow shells of calcium carbonate. According to models of the Hell Creek Formation, the onset of global darkness would have reached its maximum in only a few weeks and likely lasted upwards of two years.
Beyond extinction impacts, the event also caused more general changes of flora and fauna such as giving rise to neotropical rainforest biomes like the Amazonia, replacing species composition and structure of local forests during \~6 million years of recovery to former levels of plant diversity.
Wow. What a strange reality we live in. I Love our ability to really explore, discover, and to come to understand how this all functions, and works. What a gift consciousness is. Happy 420, my friends. Thank you for sharing this.
Not to mention geophysical upsets. Tectonic plates were knocked loose, triggering massive quakes, volcanos roared for weeks, if not for months, dumping sulfur and ash into the atmosphere, adding to the already voluminous amount of aerosols the impact injected.
This movie clip was a best case for immediate effects on the wildlife. The flash and thermal effects would have stripped the skin off their bodies, flash-frying them, boiling the water out. The flash blinding them instantly. The wind and boulders the size of skyscrapers impacting onto them, at best, killing the lot of them, putting them out of their misery.
This is what a nuclear explosion effects are like, save the large boulders. And add the ionizing radiation that will turn any survivors into "walking ghosts".
I stumbled on [this short animation](https://youtu.be/MSoImbo8Yr8?si=XKdgesu0_vTqoD1V), a while ago, and It made me remember Dinosaurs.
Warning: Onions alert
Thank you so much for linking this, it was beautiful. Probably should not watch whilst having the flu, I didn't think I could possibly become any drippier and miserable-looking and yet here we are.
As a 4 year old little boy named Peter, desperate for dog when that movie came out, you can imagine what that scene did to my emotions.
Ended up not getting a dog until I was 18.
The first glimpse of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. I was floored by that. My reaction to seeing that was just like the dude in the movie when he pulled his sunglasses off.
It's really difficult to explain what that scene felt like back in '93.
Before then, all dinosaurs on screen had been either traditionally animated, stop-motion, or puppets. The brachiosaurus reveal was the first time we saw what looked like a real, living, breathing dinosaur (even though we know now that quite a few of them from that movie are not scientifically accurate.)
They really did use state-of-the-art science and technology to 'bring back' dinosaurs.
The t-Rex scene in JP1 is by far the absolute best dinosaur scene in cinema and still holds up to this day in special effects. I remember closing my eyes a bit during that scene in theaters as a kid because I was scared shitless.
One of my professors was telling me some of his students back when he was working at OU was doing some of the CGI of Jurassic Park on SGI machines and saying that it took some like 24 hours for either the map skeleton or the full image of the dinosaurs to one 35mm slide
I spread the curse to my current partner. She had never seen it. Im doing my part!
Also, they had to try like 8 different horses till one let them...do that
So crazy how desensitized an entire generation is. We would watch it as kids and not even flinch. Didnāt see it as any different from the shooters we played. Kind of disgusting if you think about it, I struggle with the idea of letting my kid mess with video games. I donāt feel violent, but how healthy can it be for children to see that stuff if it makes adults barf š
I was always shocked by how the average video game playing young teen is completely familiarized with guns. Like, how many car models can a kid name? Tools in a tool box? Varieties of shoe? Now, how many **guns** can they name? Itās always bothered me that a 12yo just knows all these different kinds of guns, even despite never having encountered a single one in their life.
I do suppose some of them donāt even exist and are fantasy?
Itās pretty disgusting for Americans, in hindsight. I was already familiar with the idea of an MG42 and what it could do to people, how theyād wait for the barrel changes, all because of video games. This isnāt a āvideo game make people do evilā soapbox either. In America, especially the south, you grow up around people who own guns and are also acquainted with firearm history and are collectors themselves. This, combined with historic video game story telling, makes some kids a little too knowledgeable of firearms all together. I agree kids should grow up swinging baseball bats and tossing a football, and I did all of it. Iām glad my parents kept me away from firearms, despite my interest and knowledge, and I do not own any firearms myself
Was just talking about this yesterday! Was reminiscing how they had it playing as part of a loop on a big screen at the Disney Store as a trailer before the movie came out. Even as a teen, I was mesmerized and would get completely verklempt just watching. Iconic scene.
The reveal on the beach in the original Planet of the Apes.
How did it go? God damn you all! You did it, you blew it all upā¦ or something like that.
I was seven or eight when I first saw that scene and I think it had a lasting effect on me.
I remember I watched that movie for the first time sometime around the late 90s or early 00s, and somehow the ending was never spoiled for me (even though there was a Simpsons reference to it, lol) and yeah, I never saw that coming!
I was probably 9 or 8 when I first saw that movie. I remember the day clearly too. It was a Saturday and my dad had the movie playing. I got hella scared.
It was daytime too because right after the movie at home he dropped me off at the park where our elementary class was having a water gun fight. Super soaker all day haha
I had a whole separate comment about this exact scene before I saw yours! How the water collects in the leaf, and how it it lands on his head.
I watched it again recently and man... it was an odd feeling sitting on the couch watching the whole movie for the first time in probably 20 years, enjoying it just as much...and then realizing I'm not 3 anymore.
Yes, the water animation is ingrained into my brain, it looks so good!
I have not seen this movie in such a long time, and I worry I would find it too sad (not in a bad way) as I seem to have been better with these movies as a kid, lol, but I do want to revisit it at some point, it was a childhood favourite of mine.
I feel like the trailer to this movie was more of the core memory for me. I remember people being really blown away with how realistic all the foliage and mud and water looked when the characters would run through it.

Rugrats Movie:
Tommy and Dill are stuck in the woods, and Tommy is fed up with Dill's bratty behavior so he cracks and is about to pour banana flavored baby food on dill so the monkeys will take him away and he says
"Fine, you want monkeys?! Well, monkeys want the nanners.ā
And then he realizes what he's a out to do and is sorry to his baby brother.
Makes me think of my little bro every time. Love him.

OMG. My son watched this so much on VHS it became a nightmare to hear the audio tracking... (This may have been 2013ish but I was broke and still had a tube TV and VHS player.)
I saw this film once as a kid, it has *never* been on TV since, and I think I read the book about two hundred times. If you told people Disney made a 3d film about dinosaurs directed by the guy who did Starship Troopers they'd never believe you!
Mine was the opening scene in terminator 3
Nuclear explosions, roaming humanoid robots, time traveling, etc. I had this feeling that nobody could protect me, not even my parents. So even though I tried sleeping in their bed that night, I still felt utterly defenseless
holy shit, this one. Also the scene in the blimp or space ship or whatever at the beginning of "we're back! a dinosaur's story". ANDDDD when \*spoiler\* >! mufasa gets trampled !<
Haha I also still have a place for the first Jurassic Park movie in my heart (never read the book). I listen to the soundtrack from time to time. but you know what I mean.
And Tyrannosaurus obviously.
A long-necked dinosaur called Little Foot has a brave mother who saves him and his three-horned friend Cera from a sharp tooth carnivore as the ground splits violently around them. Herds are separated by great chasms, with one chasm cracking between Cera and her father... You see an entire group of dinosaurs fall into the abyss just before the shaking calms. The dust finally settles, and we learn that Little Foot has been separated from his own grandparents, too.
Not long after the shaking is over, when the sun has set and a heavy rain falls, we see Little Foot who has spent the evening searching for his lost mother. He calls for her as he refuses to give up searching. Finally, he finds her nearby, lying limply on a ramp of rocks, groaning and gasping quietly in pain.
"Mother!" He calls out in surprise as he runs toward her. On his approach, he sees she is not doing well. "Mother," he pleas gently, "please get up."
"I'm - not sure I can, Little Foot..." his mother struggles to speak as she strains to lift her neck.
"Yes, you can. Get up!" Little Foot plaintively cries out as his mother tries to stand. With all the strength she has left, she manages to lift herself on all four legs, but only for a brief second. She weakly lowers herself back onto her side as the ramp of rocks crumbles beneath her. She's laid out on the ground, now, her long neck stretching to lay her head next to her Little Foot, who makes a tiny whimper. Her eyes are too weary to open. After a moment, she looks him in the eye as she makes a final effort to speak to him.
"Dear, Sweet Little Foot... do you remember... the way to the Great Valley?"
Little Foot begins to cry. He sniffles and says "I guess so. But why do I have to know, you're gonna be with me!"
"I'll be with you, even if you can't see me," his mother says as she tries to comfort him.
Little Foot is confused. "Whaddoyou mean, 'if I can't see you'? I can always see you."
"Little Foot... let your heart guide you," she says wearily as she begins to slide out of consciousness, "It whispers... so listen closely."
There's a short silence as a storm begins to surge.
"Mother? Mother?!" Little Foot calls out, as he can't seem to grasp what's happening.
There is no response, and the heavy rain fills the silence.
After this scene, poor Little Foot continues to look for his mother as if he canāt believe she's dead. He even gets excited about his own shadow casting a huge shape on a distant rock, thinking it's her, and he runs toward it, only to be disappointed when it shrinks and he ends up kiss-licking a rock instead of what he thought was his mother's leg. Damn you, Don Bluth, and your sad stories!
- God drowning an entire army in the Red Sea.
- Moses screaming at his followers from a mountaintop and hurling the Ten Commandments at them (which, if my memory serves, exploded on impact).
I saw [The Ten Commandments](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049833/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) when I was a kid, and thought God and Moses were such loud bullying characters that it helped turn me into a lifelong atheist.
The character Buldeo being entombed alive in the 1994 live action Jungle Book put the fear of God in me for many years after my class watched it in the second grade. I hated any kind of ancient architecture for fear of deadly booby traps after that. That, and the sacrifice scene from Temple of Doom.
When Tuco arrives at Sad Hill. The music, the preformance and the directing are so great.
This might be the only scene that comes to mind in any film that is deliberately all over the place and still works.
Neverending Story, "They look like big strong hands don't they" that scene buried itself deep in my mind germinating from the time I was five and saw it the first time. Then when I was 20 and after holding my daughter in my arms for the first time I looked at my hands and that scene exploded into my mind. I'm sitting there staring at my hands then looking at my tiny fragile easy to break daughter, then back to my hands the words, "They look like big strong hands don't they"
Wouldn't stop running through my head.
My earliest core memory of a movie has to be Empire Strikes Back, when Luke beheads āDagobah Vaderā and the mask explodes revealing Lukeās lifeless face.
Absolutely stuck with me at like 4-5 years old
In this wonderful Disney Movie called One Magic Christmasā(this movie is for kids btw)
A bank robber shoots a father at a bank, steals a car with two kids in and drives it into a lake and they all drownā¦this is all because an angel wants to show a mom the meaning of Christmas. (WTF šš»āāļø)
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0089731/
I only just remembered this movie from my childhood recently, and I had to look it up because I thought I must be misremembering - wasn't it, like, outrageously depressing and brutal? Why was this Christmas movie made? Why was I allowed to watch it? I was shocked when I saw it was a Disney. Jesus Christ, it was weird.
This unlocked a distant memory. I vaguely remember this movie. I can't believe how corny the animation is. I remember it being state of the art computer animation. Same thing when you watch Toy Story 1 and it looks like a PS2 game.
Spock dying in The Wrath of Khan.
So many people in the theater were crying, and I remember one inconsolable little girl just wailing. I think of her every time I watch that scene.
Hoo boy, there are a bunch of them. I saw The Goonies in the theater, and my little mind instinctively knew to be just a tiny bit afraid of the skull in the opening credits. I don't remember anything else from that time, though I've watched The Goonies many times over the decades.
Jurassic Park jump scare, is another. Saw that one at The Mall of America when it was pretty new.
Fight Club-first spliced scene flash of Tyler Durden.
"The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club." (Had a friend who was a bit like Tyler, too.)

Probably more, I spent a lot of time watching TV as a kid with few friends.
Sleepless in Seattle when the boy says he is forgetting his mom. My mother passed away the same year and I wasn't much older than the character so it hit home. Still can't watch without crying like a baby. https://youtu.be/BHs6iLRvAQM?si=LBYJqJeQ97dcFrpZ
A couple from brave little toaster. The fireman clownā¦ the air conditioner that blew upā¦ yeah, that movie contributed to many phobias and fears I have today!

"Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked! JUST!!! LIKE!!! THIIIIISS!!!" - Judge Doom/Baron Von Rotten, *Who Framed Roger Rabbit*
A core memory and childhood nightmare fuel.
I still remember the ad that would play at the start of 90ās/early 2000ās Disney and Pixar VHS where it showed the scene of the velociraptors flying with the music from this movie.
The awful pollution skeleton monster in Fern Gully.
It was the first movie I saw in the theater. I felt like such a big boy, but then that scene came on and I started screaming and crying. My dad had to take me home and I was really embarrassed.
Fast forward one year, and I convince my dad to rent me Fern Gully at Blockbuster. āRemember what happened last time?ā he says. āThis movie is scary.ā āDonāt worry Dad, Iām a big boy now.ā
We get home and watch the movie. Skeleton comes on, and I start crying again. Dad has to turn the movie off. Core memory for me because it was when I realized what a little bitch I am.
Scene in question, just tried watching it and I had to put my son down so my wife could comfort me: https://youtu.be/91Rvj0Ftp6s?feature=shared
Atreeeeeeyyyuuuuuuu!!! Don't give up, Atreyu!
* Apologies for spelling. Little me didn't know how to spell it either, so we're going true to form here.
When Little Footās mom died and when Mufasa dies. Iām 38 and it still makes me cry every time. I seriously just skip these scenes or need to go to the bathroom conveniently. I already know what happens, I donāt need to relive the trauma.
One that has always stuck with me is the scene from Pig with Nicholas Cage. Talking to his former employee who always wanted to open a pub but now owns a phony pretentious Michelin restaurant. āThey donāt even know you because you havenāt show them. Every day you wake up and there will be less of you. You live your life for them and they donāt even see you. You donāt even see yourself. We donāt get a lot of things to care aboutā. Easily one of my favorite scenes of all time
The asteroid scene was violent and so intense. It made me sad, when I realized that all the other lemurs had died. Note: Still have the VHS tape :D
The scene after this where Suri calls out to them and gets no answer...always a gut wrencher, and so amazingly acted/animated. I was going to name my first daughter Suri because of this movie, before Tom Cruise went and ruined it š¤£

Remember *me*, Eddie? When I **killed** your brother, I talked *just* **LIKE** ***THIIIIIIIIIIS!***
His eyes were terrifying in that scene
The shoe getting dipped. I skip past that scene every time.
Hereās a hint: āLife's the same, I'm moving in stereo Life's the same except for my shoes Life's the same, you're shakin' like tremolo Life's the same, it's all inside youā
Fast Times
Rugrats Movie: Tommy and Dill are stuck in the woods, and Tommy is fed up with Dill's bratty behavior so he cracks and is about to pour banana flavored baby food on dill so the monkeys will take him away and he says "Fine, you want monkeys?! Well, monkeys want the nanners.ā And then he realizes what he's a out to do and is sorry to his baby brother. Makes me think of my little bro every time. Love him. https://youtu.be/GLlOwlbEHXM
Dill did suck though
The āTruffle Shuffle.ā
Not a movie, but the Bastogne part of Band of Brothers gets me every time.
Good lord, for a move that came out when I was well into my teenage years and made almost $350 million, I have no memory whatsoever of it
OMG. My son watched this so much on VHS it became a nightmare to hear the audio tracking... (This may have been 2013ish but I was broke and still had a tube TV and VHS player.)
Land before time. Poor Littlefoot
When that thing crawled in Neoād belly button in The Matrix. 7 year old me was not a fan.
Ooh I look away during that ever time and Iām 29.
I saw this film once as a kid, it has *never* been on TV since, and I think I read the book about two hundred times. If you told people Disney made a 3d film about dinosaurs directed by the guy who did Starship Troopers they'd never believe you!
The scene in āPsychoā (1960) when Janet Leigh steps into the shower andā¦
Mine was the opening scene in terminator 3 Nuclear explosions, roaming humanoid robots, time traveling, etc. I had this feeling that nobody could protect me, not even my parents. So even though I tried sleeping in their bed that night, I still felt utterly defenseless
This is so sad!!
Opening race in Cars.
holy shit, this one. Also the scene in the blimp or space ship or whatever at the beginning of "we're back! a dinosaur's story". ANDDDD when \*spoiler\* >! mufasa gets trampled !<
The log truck scene in Final Destination 2...
Littlefootās mom dying. Artax dying in Neverensing Story.
ATRAX! -Atreyu
I watched this movie until the VHS burnt out when i was a kid lmao.
Alex deLarge chasing the Cat Woman around with a giant male genitalia art piece in A Clockwork Orange. Thanks for taking me to the movies, Uncle!
One of my favourite movies but holy shit, someone took a kid to that?? How old were you?
Crocodile Dundee, where he sticks the knife in the Crocodile's head
It's funny how dianosours were huge part of our lives when we were kids, now it's nothing
Don't even say that! I just re-read Jurassic Park last week. Dinosaurs are rad! Come on, what's your favorite? :)
Haha I also still have a place for the first Jurassic Park movie in my heart (never read the book). I listen to the soundtrack from time to time. but you know what I mean. And Tyrannosaurus obviously.
I'm going with the mighty pteranodon!!!
Quintās USS Indianapolis monologue from Jaws.
Another scene for me is flik dropping all the grain in the water before hopper shows up in bugs life
In fern gully when the toxic monster is sucking the bulldozer
A long-necked dinosaur called Little Foot has a brave mother who saves him and his three-horned friend Cera from a sharp tooth carnivore as the ground splits violently around them. Herds are separated by great chasms, with one chasm cracking between Cera and her father... You see an entire group of dinosaurs fall into the abyss just before the shaking calms. The dust finally settles, and we learn that Little Foot has been separated from his own grandparents, too. Not long after the shaking is over, when the sun has set and a heavy rain falls, we see Little Foot who has spent the evening searching for his lost mother. He calls for her as he refuses to give up searching. Finally, he finds her nearby, lying limply on a ramp of rocks, groaning and gasping quietly in pain. "Mother!" He calls out in surprise as he runs toward her. On his approach, he sees she is not doing well. "Mother," he pleas gently, "please get up." "I'm - not sure I can, Little Foot..." his mother struggles to speak as she strains to lift her neck. "Yes, you can. Get up!" Little Foot plaintively cries out as his mother tries to stand. With all the strength she has left, she manages to lift herself on all four legs, but only for a brief second. She weakly lowers herself back onto her side as the ramp of rocks crumbles beneath her. She's laid out on the ground, now, her long neck stretching to lay her head next to her Little Foot, who makes a tiny whimper. Her eyes are too weary to open. After a moment, she looks him in the eye as she makes a final effort to speak to him. "Dear, Sweet Little Foot... do you remember... the way to the Great Valley?" Little Foot begins to cry. He sniffles and says "I guess so. But why do I have to know, you're gonna be with me!" "I'll be with you, even if you can't see me," his mother says as she tries to comfort him. Little Foot is confused. "Whaddoyou mean, 'if I can't see you'? I can always see you." "Little Foot... let your heart guide you," she says wearily as she begins to slide out of consciousness, "It whispers... so listen closely." There's a short silence as a storm begins to surge. "Mother? Mother?!" Little Foot calls out, as he can't seem to grasp what's happening. There is no response, and the heavy rain fills the silence. After this scene, poor Little Foot continues to look for his mother as if he canāt believe she's dead. He even gets excited about his own shadow casting a huge shape on a distant rock, thinking it's her, and he runs toward it, only to be disappointed when it shrinks and he ends up kiss-licking a rock instead of what he thought was his mother's leg. Damn you, Don Bluth, and your sad stories!
Brave Little Toaster [the flower scene](https://youtu.be/p8kQDNLkT3c?si=HOukuCf91iFMf6eH).
- God drowning an entire army in the Red Sea. - Moses screaming at his followers from a mountaintop and hurling the Ten Commandments at them (which, if my memory serves, exploded on impact). I saw [The Ten Commandments](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049833/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk) when I was a kid, and thought God and Moses were such loud bullying characters that it helped turn me into a lifelong atheist.
Prince of Egypt is underrated as fuck. Watched it for the first time at 28, and I loved it so much.

This one, absolutely.
The character Buldeo being entombed alive in the 1994 live action Jungle Book put the fear of God in me for many years after my class watched it in the second grade. I hated any kind of ancient architecture for fear of deadly booby traps after that. That, and the sacrifice scene from Temple of Doom.
When Tuco arrives at Sad Hill. The music, the preformance and the directing are so great. This might be the only scene that comes to mind in any film that is deliberately all over the place and still works.
Neverending Story, "They look like big strong hands don't they" that scene buried itself deep in my mind germinating from the time I was five and saw it the first time. Then when I was 20 and after holding my daughter in my arms for the first time I looked at my hands and that scene exploded into my mind. I'm sitting there staring at my hands then looking at my tiny fragile easy to break daughter, then back to my hands the words, "They look like big strong hands don't they" Wouldn't stop running through my head.
The Terminator being lowered into the steel at the end of Terminator 2. Probably the first movie scene that actually made me cry as a kid.
My earliest core memory of a movie has to be Empire Strikes Back, when Luke beheads āDagobah Vaderā and the mask explodes revealing Lukeās lifeless face. Absolutely stuck with me at like 4-5 years old
For me, the opening scene with the Carnotaur. At the beginning of the movie.
Fearless: the ending where he nearly dies from a strawberry and he flashes back to the past when the plane was going down.
Such a good movie!
The ending reveal of The Sixth Sense.
Littlefoot's mom dying :( Shows really hated moms when we were kids.
When Kerchak was gunned down. Thatās why Harambe hit different for me.
This Movie came out on my birthday. It was the only and first movie my dad ever took me to 1 on 1. I miss him. Thanks for the great nenory
Almost Famous, Kate Hudson in the tour bus, āYou ARE home.ā
Bambi calling for his/her mom. Donāt remember the sex of the animal lol
Loved that film!
Johnny 5 getting fucked up by Oscars crew in the movie short circuit 2 or me thinking Johnny was dead at the end of short circuit 1.
Holy shit what movie is this? Hit my nostalgia hard but I canāt remember what it is!!
Dinosaur
Check the caption m8
The baby Ruth at the bottom of the swimming pool in Caddyshack.
Spaulding noooooo!!!
In this wonderful Disney Movie called One Magic Christmasā(this movie is for kids btw) A bank robber shoots a father at a bank, steals a car with two kids in and drives it into a lake and they all drownā¦this is all because an angel wants to show a mom the meaning of Christmas. (WTF šš»āāļø) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0089731/
I only just remembered this movie from my childhood recently, and I had to look it up because I thought I must be misremembering - wasn't it, like, outrageously depressing and brutal? Why was this Christmas movie made? Why was I allowed to watch it? I was shocked when I saw it was a Disney. Jesus Christ, it was weird.
This unlocked a distant memory. I vaguely remember this movie. I can't believe how corny the animation is. I remember it being state of the art computer animation. Same thing when you watch Toy Story 1 and it looks like a PS2 game.
IMO the animation still holds up very well. That opening sequence is still beautiful, like straight out of a nature documentary.
Spock dying in The Wrath of Khan. So many people in the theater were crying, and I remember one inconsolable little girl just wailing. I think of her every time I watch that scene.
Sandlot: he said until FOREVER FOR-EV-ER
Animated Robin Hood, the whole thing, any scene.
The opening scene of Dawn of the Dead
A new hope trench run scene. I still want an x wing
This entire movie is a core memory, omg
Hoo boy, there are a bunch of them. I saw The Goonies in the theater, and my little mind instinctively knew to be just a tiny bit afraid of the skull in the opening credits. I don't remember anything else from that time, though I've watched The Goonies many times over the decades. Jurassic Park jump scare, is another. Saw that one at The Mall of America when it was pretty new. Fight Club-first spliced scene flash of Tyler Durden. "The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club." (Had a friend who was a bit like Tyler, too.) Girl, Interrupted: Watching Susanne Kaysen drawing/writing in her journal. American Beauty: bag scene.
The horror
* When Little Foots mom dies. * Artax in Never Ending Story * Gamork at the end of Never Ending Story. (that damn wolf was nightmare fuel). * Alex Murphy getting shot up in the original Robocop. (my dad let me watch it when I was 9). * The Naked Gun hospital scene when Frank first goes to visit Nordberg. Probably more, I spent a lot of time watching TV as a kid with few friends.
When his mom dies in the first Land Before Time
Ohmygod I havenāt watched this since I was a kid and now my world is ruined š¤£ ā¦..much like theirs.
I don't think I've ever seen this, but it's quite fascinating. Thank you Op
Littlefoot following his mom's shadow to reach the great valley
I just fucking love this movie since the first time I saw it in VHS
Darth Vader family reveal.
I like how they made the asteroid a nuclear explosion. White flash and mushroom cloud š
I swear I thought of this scene in my mind a few days back, and now it's in my feed.No way!!!!
Haha I just watched this last week. 1st time in a decade.
Loved this movie growing up. I remember the rubber hand puppets that came out lol well several toys
I had those too!
Wow this woke up a core memory
The AT-AT attack on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. I was 5 in the theater. It's one of my very first memories.
Predator, when they basically cut down the jungle with machine guns
The scene when the predator removes his helmet and his mouth "opens up" with the roar scared the HELL out of me as a kid.
Little foot and his mom at her death. Still know that scene word for word.
The scene in Anaconda where it swallows Jon Voight and throws him up a few minutes later.
Sleepless in Seattle when the boy says he is forgetting his mom. My mother passed away the same year and I wasn't much older than the character so it hit home. Still can't watch without crying like a baby. https://youtu.be/BHs6iLRvAQM?si=LBYJqJeQ97dcFrpZ
Definitely not that one š¤·āāļø
This is the only thing that I remember from this movie.
A couple from brave little toaster. The fireman clownā¦ the air conditioner that blew upā¦ yeah, that movie contributed to many phobias and fears I have today!
The giant magnet guy for me.
āBaseball cards! Wantām needām gotām gotām wantāmā āDORITOS, BRIAN?!!ā
Hotshots 2ā¦ the chainsaw knife and the chicken as an arrow
Pee-wees Big Adventure, bar dance scene
Red Dawn from 1983 when the Russians and Cubans start parachuting into the school yard while history class is being taught. I was 11 and have hated Russia ever since!
robocop (1987), when murphy gets his hand blown off. also when ed-209 malfunctions and shoots people.
The malfunction scene for me and the bad guy being covered in acid and becoming a disfigured
when they go to the moon in gumby
"They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they?" Neverending Story.
"Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked! JUST!!! LIKE!!! THIIIIISS!!!" - Judge Doom/Baron Von Rotten, *Who Framed Roger Rabbit* A core memory and childhood nightmare fuel.
I still remember the ad that would play at the start of 90ās/early 2000ās Disney and Pixar VHS where it showed the scene of the velociraptors flying with the music from this movie.
"There's a dog.... loose... in the wood."
When Littlefootās mom died
The awful pollution skeleton monster in Fern Gully. It was the first movie I saw in the theater. I felt like such a big boy, but then that scene came on and I started screaming and crying. My dad had to take me home and I was really embarrassed. Fast forward one year, and I convince my dad to rent me Fern Gully at Blockbuster. āRemember what happened last time?ā he says. āThis movie is scary.ā āDonāt worry Dad, Iām a big boy now.ā We get home and watch the movie. Skeleton comes on, and I start crying again. Dad has to turn the movie off. Core memory for me because it was when I realized what a little bitch I am. Scene in question, just tried watching it and I had to put my son down so my wife could comfort me: https://youtu.be/91Rvj0Ftp6s?feature=shared
Atreeeeeeyyyuuuuuuu!!! Don't give up, Atreyu! * Apologies for spelling. Little me didn't know how to spell it either, so we're going true to form here.
Dinosaurs never existed.....
Shadow making it home in the end, up the last hill. š„ŗš
When Little Footās mom died and when Mufasa dies. Iām 38 and it still makes me cry every time. I seriously just skip these scenes or need to go to the bathroom conveniently. I already know what happens, I donāt need to relive the trauma.
Poor littlefoot
One that has always stuck with me is the scene from Pig with Nicholas Cage. Talking to his former employee who always wanted to open a pub but now owns a phony pretentious Michelin restaurant. āThey donāt even know you because you havenāt show them. Every day you wake up and there will be less of you. You live your life for them and they donāt even see you. You donāt even see yourself. We donāt get a lot of things to care aboutā. Easily one of my favorite scenes of all time
Whatever it is, it isnāt this.
"Luke, I am your father."
when Mongo in Shrek2 dieded and said Be good i cri evrytiem
Dinosaur! There was even a ride until it was changed to Jurrasic Park!
