I have so many list and blog ideas. I need to finish James Bond movies, I’m working on TV intros and sometime eventually I’ll do baseball movies. This one will be counting down my 50 most rewatchable movie scenes. Recency bias is definitely in effect here. Music had a big influence on my selections. About a third of them are either song numbers directly or the song influences how I feel about it. Some were tough cuts with music like Aladdin and The Lion King or more obscure ones like Bad Times at the El Royale. These are not the greatest movie scenes of all time and not necessarily my favorite of all time but the ones I keep coming back to. I also found myself cutting movies where I couldn’t just pick one scene. I never picked two scenes from one movie, though I do have multiple Star Wars and Avengers on here. Things like Goodfellas, The Thing, Fight Club, Interstellar, Terminator 2, Back to the Future are all terrific but there is not one scene that I keep coming back to. If I do one a day, the countdown should take me to October just in time.
50. Saving Private Ryan

Omaha Beach. It's by far the best scene in the movie, there's nowhere to really go after this but down. You could really feel for the soldiers that were saying, we have to do what mission now, after going through what they did in this scene. Probably one of the more darker if not darkest pick and also likely the longest one on my list, thus why it comes in but at 50.
