"Fortune & Men's Eyes", the look on Don Johnson's face. That looks like Justin Bieber (and Jude Law)

What they have on YouTube looks like it was made for TV. Sal Mineo, yes. Film was not what it is today. Plays on public television have the same film quality now. The actual film is on YouTube but the reason why the quality is poor is that it was shot on video tape. Almost everyone uses digital video now so even iPhones can give a better quality of image (even though most people don’t seem to know how to hold the things).

Not a shot but a short scene, from the 1961 Italian movie “The Girl with a Suitcase”. A rich boy in his late teens meets a beautiful girl a few years older than him (played by the gorgeous young Claudia Cardinale) and is completely smitten with her. She indulges him because he is harmless and he has money. One day they make plans to go to dinner and a movie. As they are having dinner in a hotel restaurant, some other guests start chatting her up, and invite her to join their group in partying and dancing. He tells her that they are going to miss the movie, but she replies that she wants to have some fun and that they can catch the next showing.
The scene that I am referring to comes next. She is drinking and dancing with the other guests while he is sitting at a bench watching them. Then the camera concentrates on him. We see him watching her, fidgeting, sipping from his drink, looking away, with all these different expressions on his face: frustration, jealousy, despair, anger. There is no dialog. Everything is just on the young actor’s face. It’s a great scene, superbly directed and acted.

"It's just you and me now, sport. I'm gonna find you, goddamnit!" - Will Graham (William Peterson) in Manhunter (1986)This scene, might not be the most famous or impressive shot in the film, I mean, it is one those rare ones, where almost every scene has some kind of an incredible, almost art-like striking "painting" imagery or scenery to them, which I guess is mostly to do with the work of Dante Spinotti, but of course Michael Mann and his way of coming up with the right colors, lights and so on, just made for a brilliant team back then. Anyway, the scene or movie shot that I went with, is the first one where Will Graham begins to really feel "connected" to this ruthless and seemingly unstoppable serial killer (Tom Noonan) and he knows time is running away, and that things are getting quite desperate. So, it is a kind of now or never moment, as he is so deep into the whole situation, that there is absolutely no turning back, even (as his wife earlier says to him) "William... you're gonna make yourself sick or get yourself killed.". It also concludes the first half of the film, and where next up it starts to getting closer to the murderer, and the whole thing just keep one building slowly towards their climatic confrontation. Yes, there is much later on, a similar and maybe even more impressive shot, as where Graham and his friend and co-worker (Dennis Farina) find themselv inside a hotel room and it really is the last chance they might ever get to capture or stop the Tooth Fairy, and where Will is placing his hand on the window, and getting all the "clues" together in piece, and where this beautiful music called Graham's Theme by Michel Rubini just makes the whole thing even more impressive and powerful. Still, I do think the more downbeat version of that instrumental, is maybe even better or more effective in this little but very important scene:

"Come with me, if you want to live!" - Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) in the The Terminator (1984)Again, as with Manhunter, this might not be the most famous, impressive, stunning or even memorable shot, but over the years, that sheer look of complete hopelessness and horror in Sarah's once so innoccent sweet face, as she now surely realizes that this "thing" that has been murdering women with the same name as hers, all over L.A. city, is very real, and will not stop until he has killed her, and there is nobody out there who can stop him from doing so. That very image have been stuck with me for many years, as I think Linda did an incredible job here, and the whole horror-vibe just makes it all the more menacing and terrifying, and it is such a shame to see how this fantastic and original movie, that used to scare the living crap out of people, but sadly now have ended up as a damn parody franchise, where people laugh at them, not with them.

"I was never more certain of how far away I was from my goal than when I was standing right beside it." - Vincent (Ethan Hawke) in Gattaca (1997)This scene, again as earlier, is maybe not neither the best or most powerful, but somehow it just hits with me a litte bit more than so many others of that fantastic sci-fi movie, as here you have this genetically inferior human being, that is Vincent (Ethan Hawke) and he has done all he can and so much more, to come as close to his big lifetime dream, which is to be able of going into space. But the scene or image I posted above, where he the only chance of him to get close of space, is by working as clean up guy, just showcases or constanly remind him, that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be seen "worthy" of achieving his longtime goal, at least not all by himself.

"What did I do to get hooked up with this guy?" - Neal Page (Steve Martin) in Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)After a rather stressfull journey of trying to get home to his beloved ones during the Thanksgiving, family and business man Neal Page, only succeeds in ending up with sharing a sleazy motel room with a complete stranger (John Candy). I have always loved the hilarious but also clearly disturbing or should I say, disgusted look on the face of poor Neal, when he realize that he is about to clean up his face with another mans used and very large pair of underwear.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) - Werner Herzog Again, I keep repeating it over and over, it is not the most blah, blah, blah scene or image and so on, but when it comes to certain very special movies, that just grabs your attention and pulls you deep in, right from the very first moment. One of those, surely has to be Werner Herzog's haunting masterpiece Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972). I went in, with absolute nothing to go on, and had never seen any of his movies before, and really it was just another impulse purchase on DVD. Luckily it turned out to become one of the most impressive and beautiful movies I have ever witnessed. I do not watch it too often, but some do have a very lasting impression and really do not need to be seen 20-30 times a year, as it is more than enough to have go at it every now and then. But, enough of that. It is really hard to just pick out one striking or memorable scene or movie shot, as they just seem to be coming along, all through the story. However, I have to say that the one that really does it for me, is the moment where this beautiful, elegant spanish woman, all dressed up as she is about to go to a big party or something, but instead she leaves her fellow countrymen and "safety" behind, and walks slowly with a very sad and defated look on her face, right into the forest and where the hostile indians very likely would soon seal her fate. This is of course a long way out into the movie, and this female character just no longer sees any hope or logic in staying behind on this doomed journey, that has ended up in total chaos and madness, all because of the corruption and brutal leadership of Aguirre (Klaus Kinski), and of course, earlier on he even ordered his fellow men, to turn on their own and which resulted in them killing her fiance. So she really has nothing left and, yes a sad but incredible stunning and haunting scene that I will never forget.

Another very memorable, short but still strong shot, is of that from Sean Penn's The Indian Runner (1991), where an old and tired Charles Bronson (now without his classic stache) goes down to his basement, and sits there all alone in the dark, and watches all these old family films of his two beloved sons, when they were growing up. There is a sadness, yet very powerful shot of Bronson just having this huge warm smile around his face, and even though his now fully grown up sons, have taken a very different paths in their lives, he is still the proud and loving dad.
How I truly wished Bronson would get the chance back then, to just star or be included in a bit more of that kind of movies, and even though I love the guy and most of his action b-movies as pure entertainment, he proved here, that he could still deliver such a humane and fragile charachter, instead of yet another Paul Kersey, killer on the rampage clone, without any emotion at all.
The shot or scene I am talking about, is featured around the 01:40 mark, in this very beautiful movie scene, with fantastic use of images, music and just, well great performances from everybody, but Charles Bronson just is, well the true standout for me here.
Sadly, I could not find any images on the net, but that is why I posted the video instead.
