I love the way the fairground music changes to an ominous rumble at 27 secs. The whole thing is very 'Lynchian', as it were. Yes, it's the opening to The Elephant Man (1980), directed by David Lynch.

Here's another one of mine, from A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).

I love the way at 3 mins 43 secs Nancy asks 'who are you?' and this weird, burnt guy just lifts up his dirty sweater and slices open his own stomach. <--- better run, Nancy, imagine what he'd do to you if he catches you.

Also, I love the way her breathing is out of control at 4 mins 20 secs.

And I love this, from Rocky (1976) …

I love the fight choreography - it's not perfect but it's believable and shows a smart, mobile champion boxer (Creed) vs a tough slugger (Balboa).

I also like the fact that Rocky doesn't actually win, it's a split decision that the judges give to the champ, Apollo Creed. <--- that's kinda realistic.

I like the market scene from Notting Hill, where Bill Withers sings "Aint No Sunshine" and you see the seasons change while Hugh Grant's character walks through the market. In the beginning it's summer and he passes a pregnant woman and at the end it's spring time and the woman is holding the baby she was carrying.
