Top 10 Most Important Movie Scenes of All Time Part 1

The money shot. That’s what we call a scene in a movie that epitomizes what it is trying to do. It has since been applied on TV and photography.

It is considered the greatest scene in the movie. The scene that the producer can put his money on if forced to. When done right, these scenes outlive the movie. Fifty years down the road, younger people will still know of the scene, what was in it and what was said but not necessarily what movie it was into. This could be because of a dress or a sofa or a beautiful scenery of the beach it was in. It could also be the audacious costume or the funny make-up.

Below are ten of the most popular movie scenes that have affected the movie industry in huge ways.

10. The skirt


Movie: Seven Year Itch

9. Where s the money?


Movie: Jerry Maguire

Actor(s): Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Show me the Money! is everyone’s expression for just about any situation that involves money.

6. He is watching you


Movie: Casablanca

Actor(s): Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman

The line ‘Here’s looking at you, kid’ is often used by parents to children nowadays. Knowing the movie makes hearing it a bit like hearing a incestuous relationship in progress.

Trivia: Because the film was made during WWII they were not allowed to film at an airport after dark for security reasons. Instead they used a sound stage with a small cardboard cutout airplane and forced perspective. To give the illusion that the plane was full-sized, they used little people to portray the crew preparing the plane for take-off.
