Scenes That I Love: The New Orleans Funeral from Live and Let Die

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

If any of our readers are in New Orleans for Madi Gras weekend, a word of caution.

If you see a funeral procession, don’t ask who the funeral is for.

Seriously.

This scene is from 1973’s Live and Let Die.  It’s a scene of many emotions.  It may start out with the sond of a sad tune but everyone’s pretty happy by the end of it.

Scenes That I Love: Celebrate Mardi Gras Weekend With Nicolas Cage and Judge Reinhold in Zandalee!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

I’m pretty sure that I’ve shared this scene before but, since it’s Mardi Gras weekend, it feels like a good time to share it again!

In this scene from the 1991 New Orleans-set melodrama, Zandalee, Judge Reinhold and Nicolas Cage share a dance on a bayou dock.  Reinhold knows that Cage has been sleeping with his wife.  Cage knows that Reinhold knows.  So, they decided to have an impromptu dance-off.

It sounds like a good to idea to me and, with everyone flooding into Louisiana this weekend, it seems like a good pick for today’s scene that I love!

#Dance!

Scenes that I love: Let’s Celebrate National Bird Day With An Epic Scene From Birdemic!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Happy National Bird Day!

Today seems like a good day to share a scene from the twentieth best film ever made about a sudden, inexplicable bird attack, 2010’s Birdemic!

In this classic scene, four humans battle a flock of rampaging birds.  Unfortunately, it would appear that none of the humans have been properly trained in how to use a coat hanger to battle low-budget CGI.

Enjoy!
