Favorite Movie Scenes Week on Wrist Scan . . .
. . . is live!
Motion pictures are more than the sum of their parts, but there are scenes so compelling they practically define the film. Two from last year: Joaquin Phoenix playing opposite Robert DeNiro in Joker . . .
. . . and Brad Pitt's masterpiece from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I love the bit where Pitt puts down the milk carton and takes off his wig in that scene.
How about final scenes that put the final wrap on a film? Two come immediately to mind: Orson Welles other masterpiece, The Third Man . . .
. . . and the subliminally penetrating ending to . . .
. . . Being There.
Memorable lines? We can start with Alfonso Bedoya . . .
. . . and end with Humphrey Bogart.
;-)
Action scenes? Steve McQueen in The Getaway . . .
. . . and Paul Newman in Hombre . . .
. . . work for me.
Scenes that steal? Donald Sutherland in JFK . . .
. . . and, of course, the scene.
Kindly share the movie scenes that capture your imagination, along with the watch currently gracing your wrist.
I've been wearing a vintage Omega this week.

Here is my bombshell ...
There are so many movie moments that I could mention but I stick to my latest, most recent moment. Holly Golightly has got the same emotions when she is looking at jewellery like me. She loves Tiffany because there is nothing bad exsisting in this world w...
There's a memorable scene in . . .
. . . Breakfast at Tiffany's . . . . . . with barely a spoken word. ;-)
Very fitting song to the movie
A romantic song about two driffters was quite a daring thing, back in the late 50ies, I suppose.
Little known fact ...The shades were made by Oliver Goldsmith...
Still available today in London.
Aaah, Good to know, will look it up
Some more unkown facts: the black dress is from Givenchy. That original black dress was sold at Christie's for almost 700.000 Euros. She was a long and good friend to Hubert de Chivenchy, who made her for decades movie costumes and also her privately worn...
Never saw any of the Austin Powers flicks . . .
. . . but I'll take your word for it, Seeks!
Hello dear Moritz! I share the love for these two films with you. Specially charming I find the first one. A true classic and of course with the lovely presence of A. Hepburn...
... impossible not to fall in love with such a charming lady!! A beautiful watch to make company to the memories of those classic films! Hagwe! Abel.
2 very different movies and both very enjoyable !
Excellent watch choice ! Best regards
Well played my dear Nicolas!! And in wonderful pictures as usual! Your BC Tudor is just stunning!! I can easy understand your love for this timepiece! You´ll see below...
... that I had same thoughts when posting my watches, though lacking of a BC in my collection I present my 5508 instead. Have a great week end my dear friend! Abrazos mi amigo Nicolas! Abel
Absolutely agree my friend. Regret to say that present market values place these superb pieces at unreacheable levels. Anyway... Who knows...
... Lady Luck has been very generous with me along my collector journey! Lol! Keep enjoying your superb example so much! Abrazos mi amigo! Abel
It might be called the Joker...
But this watch is no joke ! It is uber cool !! Well done my friend
Well played! . . .
. . . not to mention an opportunity to share . . . . . . yet another scene. ;-)
It’s a modern day classic ...
One of my favourites is the classic “Apocalypse Now”.. Have a great weekend friends ! ...
Another great classic my dear Captain!! I share with you the fondness for this film. So many unforgettable scenes and lines from great stars. I specially love your shot...
... with the helicopter behind! Great shot! I feel Seiko made a great job with the new re issue of Capt. Williard´s watch! Mine says hello! Hagwe! Abel ...
Of my era
Hi Has to be the Blues Brothers & when they visit the nun - especially the bit where she levitates backwards. Unfocused & working on it Cheers JML ...
Hello my dear Art!! What a wonderful and challenging theme you choose for this week end. I love cinema and your opening post shows some wonderful classic scenes...
... from favorite pictures. You made me think about some unforgettable scenes of my favorite films which have left an indelible mark in my heart. I choose three films from the 1960's which I feel are classics of that era and also classics of the XX Centur...
Fantastic theme, Art. I love movies and plenty of choices.. Perhaps I will start with the first..
The first movie I watched in the cinema with my parents was 007 The Spy Who Loved Me. Sir Roger Moore in top form, and they had an excellent cast, including the Lotus Esprit! What a treat for a kid Here’s a screen shot with a recent Seamaster. Thanks Art ...
Great shot dear Seeks!! That Lotus was an awesome car!! It even transformed in a submarine!! Who knows the surprises the new Bond film will bring to us 007 fans! Well...
... you are anticipating one of the new gadgets that Craig´s Bond will be wearing this time. I feel this is a fitting watch for our beloved character!! Great shot showing its beauty! Cheers! Abel
Thank you dear Abel !
And yes you are right ! High anticipated. Waiting for the April release. From the trailer and online news, there will be a handful of Aston Martins. Some sort of roll call. Perhaps Sean Connery drove the best first... ...
Ahh Yes, Connery did a wonderful Bond and left his imprint to the character. For me the best Bond. I am eagerly waiting for the release of the new film...
... having been a Bond fan since the first film which I viewed around 1965 I guess. And of course I´m eagerly waiting for my new SM Bond watch as well. Lol! Best, Abel
Thank you dear Count !
🙏 Three and a half minutes of historic car chase screen time💨 Kind regards
. . . and thanks to the Internet, we can immerse ourselves . . .
. . . in that very scene. Art
Saw Ford v Ferrari in a theater . . .
. . . and this . . . . . . was my favorite scene.
Thank you!
the 38mm tricolor is, IMHO, one of the best reissue piece that is in regular production cheers
Thank you :)

Never saw this film, but . . .
. . . that is a gripping scene. And the Bulova, no less.
Fantastic shot S F! Your Bulova looks very appropiate! I didn' view this version but I viewed the original 1951 version when I was a child and...
... Viewd it several times more as an adult. Cheers! Abel ...
“even a stopped clock tells the correct time twice a day...”
An absolute favourite film & now cult classic set at the end of the 60’s: And a period watch to go with the film: Have a great Sunday dear Purists ...
