I didn't want this list to necessarily be a repeat of my 20 favorite films from the last decade. So before coming up with the list of 20 scenes, I came up with a list of 10 films I was absolutely going to exclude from this list. They are films that you probably know by now how much I love, and had I included them, they'd be all over this countdown.
The scenes you'll see on this list are from films I might not talk about quite as often, but for the most part, they're mainstream films that you've likely seen.
Which brings me to my other point: This countdown will be spoiler-heavy. In most cases, I'll be posting a video of the scene, and then using the words to talk about why I love it and why it's important to the film. There will be nothing spared. In fact, a few of the scenes on the list are endings. Just consider yourselves warned this all begins.
I've left a couple spots open if anyone else is interested in writing a post about their favorite scene. I've already got two people assisting me. Just shoot me an email (johnlikesmovies@gmail.com) if you're interested. You can write about one of my selections or pitch a scene that you love. Can't offer any payment or anything, but I'd be happy to discuss some cross-linking and other promotion possibilities.
I hope you enjoy the countdown. You can keep track of it right here as I update this post with links to each new entry:
