Favorite Scenes

I feel like it's about time I do something of this sort, so here are a few of my favorite cinematic scenes, in no particular order.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

I've always wondered if geniuses are more apt to be mentally unsound, or if genius is a product of madness. Of course, it is really not all-too surprising that so many intellectuals are often plagued with mental disorders; they spend so much time in their head. This idea fuels the basic concept of one of my favorite films, A Beautiful Mind, made in 2001 by Ron Howard. It transcends the confines of a biopic, in this case relaying the story of noted schizophrenic mathematician John Forbes Nash, and becomes a gripping drama, a love story, and a moving portrait of psychological ailments.
