Too often nowadays, the "money shot" just means a one-liner or CG effect; the best ones tap into our subconscious fears and desires, and would make for a fascinating list. Off the top of my head, the "You're gonna need a bigger boat" scene in <I>Jaws</I> and the "I am your father" scene in <I>The Empire Strikes Back</I> easily fit the bill. But it can also be a more subtle moment, like Bill Murray whispering in Scarlett Johansson's ear.Andrew Bemishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097037829531087694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-1132419241849624092005-11-19T11:54:00.000-05:002005-11-19T11:54:00.000-05:001.

I think the original Superman could fit into that list.<BR/><BR/>It's always interesting to see what the goal is, how the marketing machine tries to sum up a movie with one shot. I'd be curious to know what your top ten "money shots" from films would be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18377389.post-1132347842018786572005-11-18T16:04:00.000-05:002005-11-18T16:04:00.000-05:00Damn, how did I forget Lolita?
