Best of 2006: Top 5 Scenes

5) JACKASS: NUMBER TWO – The Bungee Jump

A wee man jumps off a bridge using a large man as his anchor. Pretty much speaks for itself.


4) CASINO ROYALE – Opening Chase

Within the first half-hour of this Bond film we get one of the greatest action set-pieces in the history of the franchise. It tops the bridge ambush from M:I-3 as the action scene of the year.


3) CHILDREN OF MEN – One-shot Ambush

WARNING!!! THE CLIP CONTAINS SOME MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

This is perhaps the greatest single shot in film history, destroying everything from TOUCH OF EVIL to the entire career of Brian DePalma. [NOTE: The real scene begins about a minute before this clip, and ends a minute after.]


2) BORAT – Nude Fight

The funniest AND most offensive scene this year. I haven’t laughed this hard since THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. I love the people in the elevator.


1) DREAMGIRLS – And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going

I wrote about this scene before. It just floors me.

now that i've seen the "dreamgirls" clip, it solidifies what i feared. it's forced and overacted, not authentic at all. when jennifer holliday sings, she IS effie. you can feel her heartbreak, desperation, and pain. i would have liked to have seen hudson make the role her own. instead, she does her best holliday impression and still falls WAY short of the original.
