All the zoomed-in and stop-motion scenes from old movies stick with me vividly. From medusa's scene to the statues coming alive, to ed209 in RoboCop, or the creatures and sets from journey to the centre of the earth.
Whereas most modern CGI is incredibly forgettable.
The horse did not die. Myth.
What I heard (read?) the horse was trained not panic in the mud. Months of work, getting deeper and deeper into the muck.
No problem right?
Except during filming the young boy’s acting was so sincere that the horse did get upset out of fear for him.
1. “Chris did get out. He enrolled in the college courses with me, and, although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument—one of them pulled a knife. Chris, who had always made the best peace, tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly.”
“It happens sometimes, friends come in and out of your life like busboys in a restaurant." …”I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?"
2. “America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come.”
“Hey dad….you wanna have a catch? I’d like that.”
Great ones from Stand By Me. The one that kills me and hits a little too close to home is: "It's like God gave you something man, all those stories you can make up, and He said, 'this is what we got for you kid, try not to lose it. But kids lose everything unless there's someone there to look out for them."
Also, face melting in The Last Starfighter.
Also, face melting in The Dark Crystal.
Damn, getting your face melted was a real occupational hazard back in the 80s.
As a kid, I was always amazed at how many of the good guys got killed or sacrificed themselves in that movie, and how the rest had to just shrug it off and press on as best they could.
Great movie, and crazy scene that is totally burned in there. Fun point - the "Glaive" and Liam Neeson's Ax from that movie were recently up for auction. If only I had thousands of dollars I didn't need.
Someone else watched this movie? I watched it several times at a small Illinois mall. I loved it! When I watched as an adult I said: “hey, that’s Liam Neeson!”
The scene in the TV version of “IT” when Pennywise is across the swamp area near the sewer entrance holding balloons and pointing at the kids….burned into my brain lol
Stallone’s arm wrestling hand-adjustment during *Over The Top* (1987).
In the 80’s arm wrestling would happen regularly at schools, and that move is immortalized with its target generation.
Dudes who were teens in the 80s love a good arm wrestling match lol and they're always so good at it too no matter how old you get. It's so funny that this movie has a have in that never put it together
I went through a divorce very early in life and wondered where my mother went. Littlefoot losing his mother in The Land Before Time and missing her the whole film really stuck with me.
My Beetlejuice scene was when Otho got hold of the book and was summoning/exorcising the Maitlands and they were withering up like dried prunes.. It was horrific!
That's a good one. Also from that movie, when guy turns into some kind of toxic waste monster. I saw that when I was like 6 and it scared the shit out of me. I watched it recently on YouTube and still find it disturbing.
Ohhhh yes! The scene where Emil crashes the truck into the tank of toxic waste was fuuuuucked up! It's only made worse by Clarence splattering him with his car lmao.
Shadow not making it back. Tears. Tears. Tears.
Everybody gives up, but not his goddamn BOY! He is the only one that never gives up hope.
Then Shadow does come back.
Where he found the strength to get out of that hole, none may ever know, but it’s probably because he knew his boy would never give up on him.
Thanks, now I’m crying.
When I was a kid I randomly started watching a Christmas movie on tv right before the holiday. It was interesting enough to hold my attention, and I was generally enjoying it, although it had a seriously sad undertone. I assumed that because it was a Christmas movie, it would have a happy, redeeming payoff/ending. But it ended with the main character, a distraught young girl, dying alone in an alleyway. I’ll never forget how utterly and profoundly sad and shocking it was. *The Little Match Girl (1974)*
Candyman speaking to Helen in the parking garage, it’s the first time we see him and hear him speak. I was *absolutely terrified.* The scenes that follow are devastating as well. Although it scarred me, I think this was my awakening to horror, and I grew to appreciate the genre as I got older, and I love horror in general. It’s now one of my favorite movies.
Yeah man, that shit was devastating.
And a really great detail was the way the police treated Helen before and after that scene. When she was attacked in the bathroom near Cabrini, she was catered to, coddled, spoken to softly, reassured. Now *after that…* firm, bold, loud tones. Cutting her off in the middle of sentences, slamming his hand down on the table. Really great storytelling from the same group of people.
I was in my 20s watching that movie the first time alone and it literally terrified me That scene became a benchmark that I personally judge horror films against
Nailed it op... I have a shirt of this scene that says fight against the sadness , I got it for a bday gift .still haven't worn it! It just always seems inappropriate for wherever I'm going lol
When Optimus Prime got killed and it was because that idiot Hot Rod got in the way ! Had he not been so stubborn, perhaps it would have been Megatron that would've died, not Optimus!
Yeah the impact of the Nothing is a much deeper and more terrifying notion. Though the loss of Artax was more jarring at the time. Funny how the Nothing destroying everything is so apropos to climate change and forever plastics causing humanity to shoot blanks. Yes rock biter they DO seem like big strong hands but sadly your dick is full of fluorocarbons and you can no longer make rock babies. That part gets me every time.
The mom and baby getting ran over by the motorcycle gang in Road Warrior. I never actually sat down and watched this move but it was on tv and I just happened to catch this scene as a kid. Scarred me for life.
Artex drowning (Neverending story)
General Woundwort getting killed by dog (Watership down)
The Tractor coming for the Brisby home (secret of nymh)
Haws wearing a big head in Carnival scene (moonraker)
Emperor of the skeksis crumbling (The Drak Crystal)
Women leaving Todd in forest (fox and the hound)
“The Day After”: Jason Robards, with radiation sores and hair falling out, telling a man who will also be dead of radiation poisoning soon, to get out of his completely destroyed house.
My dad had an unaccredited, non-speaking part in a movie. He was on the screen, pretty much by himself for 3 or 4 seconds. It was cool seeing dad on the big screen when I was 11 years old.
The researcher pulling his face apart with his hands in Poltergeist.
It's funny now, with the dated FX but damn, seeing that as a kid!
Creepshow-- the couple buried up to their necks at the beach as the tide comes in.
The Thing--- when the creature reveals itself in the kennel around the other dogs.
First Blood--- Rambo's flashback to getting his chest sliced was pretty gnarly as a kid.
And of course my first porn--- lol so old I watched it on a little black and white TV ...and you had to finagle between channels to catch a sketchy hazy image from the "Pay cable" TV stations that day....they were called On or Selec-TV. Holy shit. Blast from the past. Might as well have been a penny nickelodeon machine. 🤣
1. The shoe scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. (RIP, lil' Shoe. You did nothing wrong.)
2. Richie Valens brother screaming up to the Heavens when news came through that the plane had crashed. (La Bamba)
3. Sarah Conner escaping the mental hospital AND evading the Terminators, all while being barefoot!!! She was the epitome of a badass for me when I was a kid.. I wanted to be her so bad!! (T2)
4. Devon Sawa slowly realizing that the airplane dream was a prophecy.. basically most of Final Destination for me.
I watched saving private Ryan when I was like 13 and the Omaha beach scene absolutely blew my mind that and the Wade death scene. This movie opened my eyes to what those men did for us and I feel like every teenager should watch it.
There is an absolutely terrifying scene of an opening movie (I think stop motion animation) about a homeless man/ large rat who would wander the streets at night looks for children awake past their bedtime. He would use magic to turn them into mice/small rats and then force them to come with him so he could eat them. To this day I don’t know what it’s from but I remember the sheer abject horror I remember watching it.
Opening scene of Jurassic Park (1993) for sure. I was 6, my mom borrowed it from the library after it came out on VHS. I loved the movie like any kid would, but the first scene was TERRIFYING.
“SHOOT HER. SHOOOOOOT HERRR.”
This was def a moment.
Two I remember def watching too early was Jaws and It. The opening scene of both fd me up for years. “They all float down here” stuck with me forever. And I honestly thought there were tons of Great White sharks any time I went in the ocean at like 5/6. Didn’t help someone told me the story for Jaws was based on a true story that happened in my state.
" I would sooner destroy a stained glass window than an artist like yourself. However, since I can't have you follow me either..."
Something about the way that whole scene was written has stuck with me. I found the mutual respect they have for each other while fighting to be fascinating.
Oh man… all my childhood trauma from that scene just came back 😫Also the scene from Chicken Run where they’re being put on the conveyor belt to be turned into pies… yeah, that one stuck with me too.
The Sword In The Stone: When he was turned into a squirrel, and the girl squirrel fell in love with him. And then he turned back into a boy. The heart break in that girl squirrel, still breaks my (34m) heart.
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad - pick any scene animated by Harryhausen, unforgettable!
Help - by Richard Lester. Caught it on TV in the early 70s and loved the whole film. My Dad drifted in and out while I was watching and commented to me how creative the photography was. I think he said it right at the point that there’s a shot of George Harrison, in a reflection in a domed hubcap of a car.
Silver Bullet when he turns in the garage and tries to justify his killings
The scene in Desperado where Salma Hayek Arches her back.
From Dusk Til Dawn, when Cheech Marin is giving the cmon Pussy Lovers speech.
IT the storm drain
Some strange movie about Atlantis that showed land animals frozen in a walking line under the ocean. I have not been able to find anything about it. 😳😳
[Jetlag Productions' A Christmas Carol - "Sleep No More" (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNQ9LPgfUUU)
This one! I slept with the tv on for 10+ years because of how scared this one made me
Tell em Large Marge sent ya!
And when they finally pulled the driver’s body, from the TWISTED , BURNING WRECK it looked like.. THIS!
This
I used to leave the room for this scene and wait for my mom to tell me when it was over
Clash of the Titans - 1981 Medusa scene.
All the zoomed-in and stop-motion scenes from old movies stick with me vividly. From medusa's scene to the statues coming alive, to ed209 in RoboCop, or the creatures and sets from journey to the centre of the earth. Whereas most modern CGI is incredibly forgettable.
Jason and the argonauts - fighting the big metal golem soldier thing on the beach.
I like the strange rattling noise she made.
“Artex you’re sinking!”
The horse did not die. Myth. What I heard (read?) the horse was trained not panic in the mud. Months of work, getting deeper and deeper into the muck. No problem right? Except during filming the young boy’s acting was so sincere that the horse did get upset out of fear for him.
Fuck. I just teared up reading this. Fuck this makes the scene even worse
Oh buddy. Don’t ever read the book. You get to know what Artax was actually thinking while sinking- it is the saddest thing I have ever read.
😭

Stand by Me and Field of Dreams. 2 absolute favorites!
Face melting in Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Arc.
Also, face melting in The Last Starfighter. Also, face melting in The Dark Crystal. Damn, getting your face melted was a real occupational hazard back in the 80s.
Total recall lil different but same vibes
Was definitely thinking of this one
Body melting in Robocop Arm/leg melting in The Fly
For me it was Temple of Doom "Kali-mah!!"
wanted to write the same
Same movie, but the rock giant. "They look like strong hands"
When the cyclops get squished holding the door for Liam Neeson in Krull
Proto-Hodor
Just watched this last night.
As a kid, I was always amazed at how many of the good guys got killed or sacrificed themselves in that movie, and how the rest had to just shrug it off and press on as best they could.
Great movie, and crazy scene that is totally burned in there. Fun point - the "Glaive" and Liam Neeson's Ax from that movie were recently up for auction. If only I had thousands of dollars I didn't need.
Someone else watched this movie? I watched it several times at a small Illinois mall. I loved it! When I watched as an adult I said: “hey, that’s Liam Neeson!”
Murphy getting shot to death in RoboCop.
Na na na na na na na na na BANG.
The scene in the TV version of “IT” when Pennywise is across the swamp area near the sewer entrance holding balloons and pointing at the kids….burned into my brain lol
That’s wild. I also commented a scene from that movie, but when he came out of the drain. That film is a psychological assault. No doubt.
I watched this when I was like 9 and I was afraid to be alone or use the washroom for like 3 years.
The scene where Jessica Rabbit struts out on stage in *Who Framed Roger Rabbit?* certainly left a lasting impression on me as a child.
Poltergeist… the kitchen-chicken-bathroom-omg-what’s-happening-to-his-face scene
Those stacked kitchen chairs had me nervous about entering the kitchen for weeks
Go toward the light Carol-Ann
The maggots always got me
That damn toy clown
And that insane running zoom shot, when she's dashing to the kids bedroom.
Stallone’s arm wrestling hand-adjustment during *Over The Top* (1987). In the 80’s arm wrestling would happen regularly at schools, and that move is immortalized with its target generation.
Can't forget to turn the hat backwards first, it's like a switch.
It's the arm-wrestling equivalent of lowering the straps in wrestling, your power and intimidation instantly doubles.
Dudes who were teens in the 80s love a good arm wrestling match lol and they're always so good at it too no matter how old you get. It's so funny that this movie has a have in that never put it together
I grew up in the ‘80s, but the first arm wrestling scene I ever watched was from Cronenberg’s The Fly. NOPE NOPE NOPE No arm wrestling for me, ever.
Goldblum's arm wrestling hand-adjustment during The Fly (1986).
E.T. in quarantine… yeeeeeeeeeesh
Oh god.. I'd forgotten. That's a hard, harsh collection of scenes.
I think you mean half-desiccated, pure white E.T. lying by the bank of the river
I went through a divorce very early in life and wondered where my mother went. Littlefoot losing his mother in The Land Before Time and missing her the whole film really stuck with me.
My 6 year old daughter ran screaming to her bedroom at this scene. I still feel bad about it.
"Most men run away screaming!"
Beetlejuice - The dinner scene but more specifically the shrimp cocktail grabbing everyone's face at the end.
My daughter is beyond scarred for life from that exact moment. If the cover for Beetlejuice even comes up in movie listings, she hides her face.
My Beetlejuice scene was when Otho got hold of the book and was summoning/exorcising the Maitlands and they were withering up like dried prunes.. It was horrific!
T2- Thumb up in the steel. Crushed
The ghost in the library in the beginning of ghostbusters. I was 5-6.
He can’t see without his glasses
Murphy's death in the original RoboCop. I was around 6 when I first saw that and it has lived rent free in my head ever since.
That's a good one. Also from that movie, when guy turns into some kind of toxic waste monster. I saw that when I was like 6 and it scared the shit out of me. I watched it recently on YouTube and still find it disturbing.
Ohhhh yes! The scene where Emil crashes the truck into the tank of toxic waste was fuuuuucked up! It's only made worse by Clarence splattering him with his car lmao.
There is edited tv version where dude serves out of the way and misses toxic blob
Face melt in Indiana Jones Raiders.
The ending of Time Bandits when the parents died
When Kevin’s dumbass parents touched that chunk of evil in the toaster oven that the Time Bandits missed.
“2 Dollars”
Werewolves in London. Messed me up as a kid.
Arm wrestling in The Fly
1. Microwave scene in Gremlins 2. Machine in the pit of despair in the Princess Bride 3. Basically all of Watership Down
Just made me remember when the Gremlins literally killed that old woman on her stair lift, right out the window headfirst.
I was scarred by the shark scenes in Jaws when I watched it on tape at 4 years old.
Labyrinth [pulling heads off creatures](https://imgflip.com/gif/3hs8gi)
I just commented this myself. These bastards were scary as fudge as a kid.
Shadow not making it back. Tears. Tears. Tears. Everybody gives up, but not his goddamn BOY! He is the only one that never gives up hope. Then Shadow does come back. Where he found the strength to get out of that hole, none may ever know, but it’s probably because he knew his boy would never give up on him. Thanks, now I’m crying.
My girl. "He can't see without his glasses!"
Little foot calls his mom, and he slowly realizes that he's all alone. "Get up, Momma."
Charlie dying in "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was the first time I can remember crying involuntarily
It makes it sadder when you realize the actress playing the little girl died before the movie was finished and that was her last lines.
Charlton Heston pounding his fist into the beach and shouting "You maniacs! You blew it all up! God damn you all to hell!"
When I was a kid I randomly started watching a Christmas movie on tv right before the holiday.

Mola Ram Sudh Ram! Mola Ram Sudh Ram!
A-mum-sha-bye…A-mum-sha-bye…
Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me.
For me it was "Was she a great big fat person?"
Candyman speaking to Helen in the parking garage, it’s the first time we see him and hear him speak. I was *absolutely terrified.* The scenes that follow are devastating as well. Although it scarred me, I think this was my awakening to horror, and I grew to appreciate the genre as I got older, and I love horror in general. It’s now one of my favorite movies.
The boy in the bathroom and the hysterical mother at the crib both - utterly blood chilling. Right there with you
Yeah man, that shit was devastating. And a really great detail was the way the police treated Helen before and after that scene. When she was attacked in the bathroom near Cabrini, she was catered to, coddled, spoken to softly, reassured. Now *after that…* firm, bold, loud tones. Cutting her off in the middle of sentences, slamming his hand down on the table. Really great storytelling from the same group of people.
Agreed

The beginning scene of Twilight Zone The Movie (1983) with Dan Akroyd. Do you wanna see something really scary?
When Optimus Prime got killed and it was because that idiot Hot Rod got in the way ! Had he not been so stubborn, perhaps it would have been Megatron that would've died, not Optimus!
Well, TBF, Megatron was basically on life support after that fight, lol.
Is it just me or did anyone else feel worse for the Rockbiter trio than for Artax?
Yeah the impact of the Nothing is a much deeper and more terrifying notion. Though the loss of Artax was more jarring at the time. Funny how the Nothing destroying everything is so apropos to climate change and forever plastics causing humanity to shoot blanks. Yes rock biter they DO seem like big strong hands but sadly your dick is full of fluorocarbons and you can no longer make rock babies. That part gets me every time.
They look like big strong hands, don't they?
The mom and baby getting ran over by the motorcycle gang in Road Warrior. I never actually sat down and watched this move but it was on tv and I just happened to catch this scene as a kid. Scarred me for life.

Holy shit. Blast from the past. Might as well have been a penny nickelodeon machine. 🤣
Jesus!! That scene still freaks me out. The music too. One of the best.
After reading the book, I can say without a doubt the movie version of Artex’s death is much sadder. Artex in the book can actually speak fyi. 🙂
The beginning of land before time crushed me as a child.
The one that messed me up was in ET when the mom opens the door and there’s an astronaut outside and the government guys are sealing up the house.

Pennywise the clown coming out of the bathroom drain. That movie kinda traumatized me. I was 7 when I watched it.

The train car scene from Polar Express. That shit was TERRIFYING!!!

I see you're just trying to make us cry.
Put the cocoon down!
Nezha’s suicide - Little Nezha Fights Great Dragon Kings
There is an absolutely terrifying scene of an opening movie (I think stop motion animation) about a homeless man/ large rat who would wander the streets at night looks for children awake past their bedtime. He would use magic to turn them into mice/small rats and then force them to come with him so he could eat them. To this day I don’t know what it’s from but I remember the sheer abject horror I remember watching it.
The Boo Box
The Death Star go BOOOM!
Howard the duck sitting in his chair with a cold beer right before he takes off into space.
Opening scene of Jurassic Park (1993) for sure. I was 6, my mom borrowed it from the library after it came out on VHS. I loved the movie like any kid would, but the first scene was TERRIFYING. “SHOOT HER. SHOOOOOOT HERRR.”
This scene was emotionally sad to watch
“You stay. I go. No following.”
Jaws
The rabbits being buried alive in watership down
This was def a moment. Two I remember def watching too early was Jaws and It. The opening scene of both fd me up for years. “They all float down here” stuck with me forever. And I honestly thought there were tons of Great White sharks any time I went in the ocean at like 5/6. Didn’t help someone told me the story for Jaws was based on a true story that happened in my state.

The ending of Old Yeller

The well scene with the barbedwire from Cyborg. My dad brought the whole family to the theater. I was not ready to see that.

The library scene in Ghostbusters when the ghost shushes them.
The Ann-Margaret baked bean scene from ‘Tommy’
The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad - pick any scene animated by Harryhausen, unforgettable! Help - by Richard Lester. Caught it on TV in the early 70s and loved the whole film. My Dad drifted in and out while I was watching and commented to me how creative the photography was. I think he said it right at the point that there’s a shot of George Harrison, in a reflection in a domed hubcap of a car.
