![]() Teenage hustler Neil and his best friend/platonic soulmate Wendy are alone in a desolate drive in, briefly escaping the reality of their lives while listening for God in the drive-in speakers. But it is a brief respite of aching beauty that provides the standout scene in the movie, earning fourth place in our vote. Whoop that trick by hustle and flow skin#With a subject matter dealing with the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse, Mysterious Skin is a difficult and sometimes brutal movie. The effectiveness of its implementation is sublime. The incongruity of the smallest person in the bar being the deadliest is straight out of the Whedon Handbook. When it happens to River, she turns into a deadly acrobat, brutalizing both allies and strangers. In a way, it harkens back to Joss Whedon's television series, Angel, particularly the puppet episode where the children are enslaved by children's programming. Unfortunately, she is in a populated eating establishment when this occurs and even worse, the voice on her television tells her to kill things. The whole sequence starts so innocently, as an underage girl watches an animated cartoon. The higher of them is our third place entry, River's one-woman bar fight. With regards to Serenity, we found two segments worthy of such praise. Whoop that trick by hustle and flow movie#Serenity is the most delicious of movie treats, but even the finest of desserts needs that extra sweetener to push the flavor beyond the boundaries of normal human taste. ![]() Little was expected of Craig Brewer's first major motion picture, but it evolved into one of the finest films of 2005. It's awe-striking to behold and serves as a metaphor for the creation of the movie itself. At that point, they become a band working on something much larger than themselves, something which takes on a life of its own. All of the dissimilarities between the three men are thrust aside once they figure out the beat and the lyrics, though. He might not have even been a member of the cast at that point. And nobody is completely sure why DJ Qualls is there. It's much different work from his usual church productions, and his wife rails at the idea of her man hanging out with a pimp and his hoes. For his part, Clyde aka Key has nothing to be gained from trying to make music with DJay. When DJay determines he has the skill to become a successful rapper, he decides to take a chance and reach out to his old buddy. Local Memphis pimp DJay (Terrence Howard) has little in common with childhood friend Clyde (Anthony Anderson) other than music. This is a magical exploration of the creative process a musician experiences. Steve Carell's wax job is not only the single funniest moment of 2005 cinema but also easily the Best Scene of the year.įinishing in a distant second place is the Whoop That Trick sequence from Hustle and Flow. ![]() We at BOP are right there with him in this regard. The duo laughs until they cry, eventually causing Rudd to flee the scene since he can't control his uproarious laughter. They are allegedly there to offer emotional support but they come across as rubberneckers. It's an impossibility, and this is proven by co-stars Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen. Whatever the medium, the outcome would have been the same.īOP defies any ordinary human being to not laugh while they watch Carell receive a chest waxing. The sequence could have just as easily been one of Carell's bits on The Daily Show rather than star-making work in his fledgling film career. She is an employee who appears to relish her work all too much, celebrating in the suffering her hair removal causes Carell. In actuality, he is a comedian allowing himself to be tortured by a dragon lady of a body waxer. ![]() The film's star, Steve Carell, is ostensibly an actor playing the role of a naive young man suddenly made self-aware of his weak hygiene. This is the rare comedic situation where the line between fiction and reality is blurred. Our runaway winner is the manscaping sequence from The 40 Year-Old Virgin. BOP relishes the opportunity to line up all the contenders to determine which one offers the best scene of the year. Every product needs that hook that separates it from the pack. A memorable scene in a movie is oftentimes the difference between liking it and loving it. To the casual moviegoer, though, this is exactly the sort of discussion that distinguishes products from one another. Many moviemakers scoff at the idea of lifting a single sequence out and placing it in the crucible of scrutiny. Out of the categories we do for The Calvins each year, the most distinct is Best Scene. 2006 Calvin Awards: Best Scene February 22, 2006
