Perfect Scenes

[Harry B]

So let's talk about things that are perfect. Like when the music, performance, writing, direction, content come together is a perfectly unimpeachable way. I will nominate the scene from Freaks and Geeks when Bill Haverchuk comes home, makes a sandwich and watches Garry Shandling on TV. It's perfect.

This is pretty much a perfect comedic scene in a movie, it's a good, catchy song, the performances are great, and there are about 100 funny jokes crammed into one three-minute long scene. It's just as funny watching it out of context as it is watching it in context in the movie.

This is the first one that comes to mind. The music, and the few seconds of Tim, Gareth and David just standing around talking about bullshit before Tim and Dawn kiss, it's just perfect.

If you're gonna go with a perfect Freaks and Geeks scene how could you not go with the Homecoming dance scene when Sam finally gets the courage to ask his crush to dance to Styx's Come Sail Away?

As far as movies go though, this is easily my favorite movie scene from my favorite movie ever.

I guess I just decided to go with a different one. I should have clarified in the original post that there are no right or wrong answers.

As long as we're talking perfect PT Anderson scenes...

It's all chopped up into 2 minute clips for some dumb reason but still: perfect.

There are so many to choose from within this series, I'll post an essentially spoiler free one. (This is rather NSFW in case you couldn't tell):

[Fritz Zwicky]

I can't convince anyone I know to watch this film, but it's fucking amazing. My own personal hell.

I've been trying to get the wife to watch Oldboy for 3 years now, but I made the mistake of telling her about the octopus eating scene...

[aenemaTron]

Yeah good thing you didn't mention anything else in it, because that's the tamest thing in it.

[Umlaut]

[Gluehead]

The way Bill Murray's sarcastic fear quivering is timed up to the opening string crescendo of ELO's Showdown: pure brilliance. This is a work of art that should be playing on a consecutive loop in all museums.
