OT: Movie scenes to fire up the team

Re: OT:Movie Scenes to fire up the team

I'm guessing that you're too young to have lived through that War. The triviality of Kilgore's mission in wiping out that village (to secure a place to surf) in the face of the horror of war and the futility of that war is Coppola's transition to the river journey to find Kurtz and ultimately sets the context for Brando's soliloquy on "the horror." From this point on, the film is shot from an almost surreal, absurdist perspective.

It's an absolutely brilliant piece of acting by Duvall and of genius from Coppola, but not the stuff of halftime motivation. I'll stop there because a longer comment would take this thread way OT.

My old man was a Marine (Magnificent Bastards of Chu Lai) in Chu Lai 66-
He thought the movie sucked.
I'll stop here too....
but i agree w/ Kontra on the HEAT shootout scene

I'm probably closer to his age than your's. Respect and gratitude for your dad's service! I had a childhood friend who died there. Let's let it rest. Bad choice for halftime motivation by any measure.

That's why I chose the scene from Predator...nothing more inspirational than soldiers trying to blow up an invisible crab-faced alien.

Yeah, gotta hand it to those crab-faced aliens, especially when they're invisible like the crab that's supposed to be in Supermarket "crab" salad!

" I love the smell of napalm in the morning "... says it all about that damn war.


My vote would be Miracle on Ice.

yeah...it's hard even to think about it...only motivates me to cry...

Miracle on Ice is a great idea...play the final scene and juxtapose it with Adam's kick in the Snow Bowl or SB XXXVI

I can only image Tom Cable is giving his team this speech this weekend word for word just replacing Army and soldiers with the Raiders.

I'm 23 so yeah, definitely. But my dad was a Marine who served there and I have a few uncles that were in the Army and Navy that were there as well. When I thought of that scene and drew parallels to this Pats team with the game this Sunday, I thought that more or less the Pats resembled the choppers coming in there to that tune (can't remember the name of it right now), blowing the hell out of the Vietnamese town that would resemble the Bucs.

As for the Heat shootout scene well, that is just awesome. Really no parallels to be drawn there that I can think of. It's just one of my top three favorite movies of all time so I had to mention it.

Goodfellas.....one of my top 5 ever. Although the bar scene with Billy Batts is my favorite...

Help me out here. What was the Nickname of the turncoat who ratted out Nixon to the Washington Post during Watergate?

Very inspirational movie!!

Deepthroat

At first not so insprational... then more inspirational... and more and more inspirational!!!

But after the climax not so inspirational anymore.

But then about 10 minutes later I was finding it more inspirational again!

Only watched it 10,234 times.....

for me,it would be just that simple line from Russell Crowe to his legion in "Gladiator":

"Strength and Honor"...............now that.....is a Belichick line.

YouTube - GoodFellas Full "Billy Batts" Scene

That and the "don't touch her" scene are vicious. But I have another, better, and more vicious beating in a Scorscese movie. That would be the final scene in "Casino" where they beat Joe Pesci and his brother Dominic half to death with baseball bats and then bury then alive. Just f'n BRUTAL.

This is more appropriate from that movie...

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”

YouTube - Gladiator My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius

No matter how many times I see that movie, that part always sends chills up and down my spine. Damn this thread is right up my alley.
