Spielberg's greatest WW2 scene wasn't from anything from Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, Band Of Brothers, Empire of the Sun, or even the Nazi face melting scene in Raiders...it was Captain Quint's drunken monologue describing what happened after the USS Indianapolis sank in Jaws.
The D-Day scene is arguably the most iconic scene of the last twenty-five years. Few things have influenced future portrayals as much as it did.
Quint's monologue might in my top 5 scenes in film history. Like it's one of the few very dialogue heavy scenes that i can quote all of it from memory. I watch it from time to time and am still just awed of Robert Shaw's brilliance. The only Jaws sequel/prequel/re-quel/whatever i will ever accept is if they do a prequel strictly focusing on Captain Quint in WW2.
Also my other favorite Spielberg scene is another dialogue heavy scene in a film otherwise filled with action..the Chilean Sea Bass scene in JP.
Genetic power is the most awesome force the world has ever seen, but you wield it like a kid whose found his dad's gun
That was probably a bigger scene at first, but I don't think you see it as often now. They are still copying Saving Private Ryan.
I've watched Mad Men in its entirety and while it had some great moments, I found it to be very overrated with a lot of slow filler
I watched Confess, Fletch on the plane and Jon Hamm did nail the snarky asshole, but was not all that charming.
Honestly don't remember a ton because it's been like 6 years heh. I just remember feeling that way and not getting the hype once it was all said and done. It was still good enough where I'll probably give it a rewatch at some point
Mad Men was occasionally imperfect but was transcendently good far more often. Consistently top tier.
I have always believed that people who think something like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones is the greatest show ever came from stuff like Dexter and Weeds.
