In this scene, from Sergio Corbucci’s Django, the film’s title character (played by my man, Franco Nero) reveals what’s actually in the coffin that he’s been dragging from town to town.

Happy birthday, Martin Scorsese!
To this day, I cannot see a garbage truck without hearing the Layla piano coda.

Scenes That I Love: Veronica Lake Meets Joel McCrea in Sullivan’s Travels
In 1941’s Sullivan’s Travels, Joel McCrea plays a filmmaker who disguises himself as a transient so that he can experience what’s really going on outside of Hollywood. Veronica Lake plays “the Girl,” who ends up sharing his journey.

Scenes That I Love: Cyrus’s Speech From The Warriors
Cyrus?
He’s the one and only.
From 1979’s The Warriors , here’s a scene that I love. Playing the role of Cyrus, the man who could bring all of the gangs of New York together, is Roger Hill. Playing the role of his assassin is the great David Patrick Kelly.
Cyrus knew what he was talking about but the world wasn’t ready for him.
Can you dig it?
Scenes That I Love: Lincoln Hawk Turns His Hat In Over The Top
In the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in New York City and Graham Platner’s possible victory in Maine, I’ve become a lot more interested in watching anti-communist films. And really, it doesn’t get more anti-communist than a movie about an independent, non-union trucker who has no interest in being an authoritarian and who only want to be left alone so that he can raise his son and make a little money arm-wrestling.
In this scene from 1987’s Over The Top, Lincoln Hawk (played by Sylvester Stallone) explains the importance of turning his hat. That’s all it takes.
Scenes I Love: Al Pacino and Diane Keaton in The Godfather
Today’s scene that I love comes from my favorite film of all time, 1972’s The Godfather.
In this scene, Kay Adams (Diane Keaton) has moved on and is working as a teacher. Suddenly, Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) shows up. He’s been back from Sicily for a year and he’s working with his father. Michael promises her that the Corleone family is getting out of the rackets. We, of course, know that is never going to happen.
Scenes That I Love: Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in Before Sunrise
In honor of Ethan Hawke’s birthday, here is the wonderfully romantic Ferris wheel scene from 1995’s Before Sunrise. Director Richard Lnklater considered this scene to be an homage to The Third Man.
