[.Lucid.]

"I hear you're half-Jewish?"

"Only the good half."

I love this line too.

 

['medicine cabinet']

^lol yeah, that line is great.

i think my fav is the opening scene when they open the trunk and the camera pans to ray liotta and the voice over comes on ever since i could remember, i wanted to be a gangster. he slams the trunk and the crazy horns start in as it flashes back to when he was a kid and has that old music playing in the background. i love that part lol

 

[alasdairm]

so many great scenes it's hard to choose.

how about the uncut tracking shot through the back door of the club, through the kitchen and out into the restaurant...

alasdair

 

[Bardeaux]

Or the similar introductions scene.

 

[Max Power]

I like the scene where the one guy gets whacked.

This is the best scene of his career IMO.

Another scene I love is when Jimmy tells Henry's wife where to get the clothes, but she gets spooked and leaves, leaving you in the dark as to whether the threat was real, or if she'd picked up her husband's paranoia.

 

[snafu]

I must change my mind, the best part of the movie is when robert deniro is sitting at the counter in the bar smoking and looking across the room, then 'sunshine of your love' starts playing

 

[Bricks & Stacks]

"To me, being a gangster was better then being the President of the United States." That whole intro scene, I always loved that part and always thought it'd make a good intro to a song...then somebody did use it.

Ray liotta freaking out over Karen flushing the cocaine down the toilet.

The beginning of the downfall.

OP already listed my fav

 

[Belisarius]

Billy Batts: Relax, will ya? Ya flip right out, what's got into you? I'm breaking your balls a little bit, that's all. I'm only kidding with ya...
Tommy DeVito: Sometimes you don't sound like you're kidding, you know, there's a lotta people around...
Billy Batts: I'm only kidding with you, we're having a party, I just came home and I haven't seen you in a long time and I'm breaking your balls, and you're getting fucking fresh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you.
Tommy DeVito: I'm sorry too. It's okay. No problem.
Billy Batts: Okay, salud.
Billy Batts: [takes a drink] Now go home and get your fuckin' shinebox.

That's my favorite part of the film. DeNiro's hand gesture indicating she go in is priceless.

Also, "the hoof'.

 

[marissaaaaaa]

oh man i don't know if it's possible to pick a favorite scene. i like the whole ending sequence with the helicopters and the coke. it's just so crazy haha. i also like the beginning when he's a kid too.

the whole movie is just so amazing though.
