Just a few standouts when I think about everything I’ve seen throughout the years.
These are not simply scenes I remember — they truly had a profound impact on me and on how I view the art of filmmaking. There are many more but we’d be here for hours.
Handpicked from each decade of my life:
When I was 10….(spoilers if you haven’t seen it)
In My 20′s
In my 30s

All fantastic scenes! Too bad Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford peaked with Blade Runner–oh how could I forget Lady Hawke?
The scene from Blade Runner is very moving. One of Rutger Hauer’s best.
Ratcatcher is great! Wish Lynne Ramsey made more films. She’s a top influence on me as well.
These are great, Gary. Had totally forgotten about Ratcatcher…thank you! Especially love the Edward Scissorhands scene. The combination of images and music still puts a lump in my throat.
I love Ratcatcher. Saw it just after my undergrad, and its cinematography still inspires me/my own work to this day.
That Ratcatcher scene is beautiful…has “Cristina’s World,” Andrew Wyeth, all over it! I need to see it.
Oh I’ll have to check out his work – thx Steve!
Never saw Ratcatcher, will have to check it out now.
