The Observer the Sunday version of the British newspaper the Guardian Unlimited, published (in its February 6, 2000 edition) votes taken in late 1999 and early 2000 for "the 100 most memorable moments in film history." In more than 15,000 votes taken during the polling, 2,500 different moments received at least one vote. The full list with scene analysis may be accessed online. The # 1 moment was from The Usual Suspects (1995) when detective Kujan realized who Keyser Soze was. The films in the # 2 to # 5 positions included: the shower scene from Psycho (1960), Harry Lime's appearance from the dark shadows in The Third Man (1949), the jump cut from the flying bone to the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and the dawn helicopter raid in Apocalypse Now (1979). |
To limit the sprawling subject, the editors decided to save pre-'50s movies for another tribute, and foreign films and documentaries received only brief recognition. Their list started halfway through the history of film. |
