Dude…..same!! That scene, hell the whole movie, I love. I think it’s Shyalaman’s best . For me, the scene that steals it is the following. I don’t know what it is, but damn, it’s like you’re sitting on the couch with them…..
I concur on everyone’s movies list. I’ll add to all of those Pulp Fiction, A Clockwork Orange, all of the Star Wars movies ( which DOES NOT include ep.7,8, and 9 for me) (I’m a huge Star Wars nerd btw 
)
What does everyone think of
Gets better everytime I see it and believe it’s a modern classic. My opinion of course lol

Yeah - there's a certain aura from start to finish with Signs, and for me too, it's his best one.
I actually gave this some thought last night, and I think part of it for me is the "full circle" of faith+emotion that he goes through. From the heart-wrenching "tree" scene, to the very end. Fantastic flick, imo.

I actually haven't watched it yet. My wife did, and it left her confused, but it's long been on my list simply for the VERY WIDE RANGE of reviews and opinions.
I was never a Tarantino fan. I understand the attraction because his movies are definitely unique. But it just never worked for me. Maybe it’s an acquired taste.
I remember seeing the first Star Wars movie. I believe it was ‘77 or ‘78. I fell asleep 10 minutes in and woke up 5 minutes before the end. It wasn’t because the movie was boring. But, I mean, it was the 70s and we were doing what the younger generation did in the 70s if you know what I mean.

I'm with @Bronze regarding Tarantino, but not Star Wars.
Well, at least not the initial trilogy, and maybe the 1st of the follow-ups (kinda, sorta). Empire Strikes Back is one that my friends and I saw a whole BUNCH of times, waiting in VERY LONG LINES to do so too.
There might have been some other influential factors that made ESB quite an amazing experience to get lost in. Possibly. I do not recall that.

Oh, I liked the Stars Wars stuff. Not crazy over it but I liked it. I just happened to have other influences get in the way of the first one.I'm with @Bronze regarding Tarantino, but not Star Wars.

Well, I wasn't doing 'what the younger gen did' and I got into my friends car and we chatted and listened to music while the kids sat with my hub and watched the first star wars. For some reason, I was never a fan.
Speaking of movies, Carl Weathers just passed away.
Obviously amazing as Apollo Creed, but an under-appreciated role (in my opinion) was the comedic one he did in Happy Gilmore. I'm sure I wasn't the only person blown away by seeing Apollo Creed in THAT role.
Great actors are great actors, as we often learn. RIP, Champ.

He played a good jerk in Predator too.
NEW YORK (AP) — Wayne Kramer, the co-founder of the protopunk Detroit band the MC5 that thrashed out such hardcore anthems as “Kick Out the Jams” and influenced everyone from the Clash to Rage Against the Machine, has died at age 75.

Brief respite before returning to the current topic, film noir (and more!).
I know there are at least a few Carpenters fans in this small but "knit" group, and those might really enjoy this Professor of Rock episode. I did (and I can most certainly relate...).

Count me in as one of those the professor talks about. As for female voices, there's Karen Carpenter, and then there's the rest. She's on a level all by herself. I'd swear her voice was created in a lab or sent by God as an angel prototype. Karen could have three eyes, a crow's beak for a nose, and weigh 300 pounds and her voice would still make mush outta me. Who knows what we would have got with another 30 years of her music. Excellent vid DPL!
Javier Bardem as the villain in Skyfall (my favorite Bond movie) with Judi Dench as M. Bardem was also the villain in No Country for Old Men. He plays a great creep.
He was phenomenal, and she was too. I wasn't sure how that was going to work out, but I thought she made a brilliant M..

He was originally scheduled for the part of Roland Deschain (see my avatar), before they completely annihilated the script. They ended up casting Idris Elba, who could have possibly been fine if they hadn't veered off so drastically.
Bardem would have been better, in my opinion, but Elba could have pulled it off. That King allowed such a drastic rewrite surprised and disappointed me (but he's often disappointed me). I knew they'd NEVER be able to turn 3000+ pages into a movie, and wish they had never tried. It sullied the name, The Dark Tower, forever.
SUCH a brilliant piece of written work, turned into shambles by idiots-who-know-better in Hollywood.
