Here are some of what I consider as the most memorable movie scenes of 2007 in no particular order:

The bath house fight in “Eastern Promises”: Some may complain that there is too much gratuitous violence here (Was it really necessary to bloodily poke someone’s eye at the end? ) but all agree that this is one heck of a scene (prison tattoos /male nudity and all).

Frank Lucas taking care of business while his brothers watch from the restaurant in “American Gangster”.

There is so much to like in this very entertaining and really charming sleeper hit of 2006

1) The corpse stealing scene

2) The way the gang would load their minivan….Priceless

3) Olive Dance routine and the family chumming in

4) The breaking of the vow of silence

5) The first family breakfast with Olive quizzing her gay suicidal uncle, foul talking grandpa, high achieving loser dad, and nihilist Dwayne

[Clive Owen (larry) has just been told by his wife Anna (Julia Roberts) that she has been cheating on him with his best friend. Amazing scene. So raw, so powerful. Clive owen at his best and Julia Roberts as never seen before]

********************************

Larry: You’re seeing him now? Since when?
Anna: Since my opening last year.
[pause]
Anna: I’m disgusting.
Larry: You’re phenomenal. You’re so clever.

********************************

Larry: I think you owe me for deceiving me so exquisitely.

Anthony: Look around! You couldn’t find a whiter, safer or better lit part of this city. But this white woman sees two black guys, who look like UCLA students, strolling down the sidewalk and her reaction is blind fear. I mean, look at us! Are we dressed like gangbangers? Do we look threatening? No. Fact, if anybody should be scared, it’s us: the only two black faces surrounded by a sea of over-caffeinated white people, patrolled by the triggerhappy LAPD. So, why aren’t we scared?
Peter: Because we have guns?
Anthony: You could be right.

J.M. Barrie: It seems to me that Peter’s trying to grow up too fast. I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don’t hurt as deeply as children do when they… when they lose someone. I lost my older brother David when I was just Peter’s age, and it nearly destroyed my mother.
Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: James, I’m so sorry. Your poor mother. I can’t imagine losing a child.
J.M. Barrie: She didn’t get out of bed for months, she wouldn’t eat. I tried everything to make her happy but she only wanted David. So one day I dressed myself in David’s clothing and I went to her.
