Just like it says on the title, what were your favorite scenes of all the movies of the year 2012. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order:
- The first processing scene (The Master)
- The diner scene (Looper)
- "There once was a hushpuppy..." (Beasts of the Southern Wild)
- Billy's ending of the movie (Seven Psychopaths)
- The vote (Lincoln)
- The raid on Abbotabad (Zero Dark Thirty, which I just came back from seeing)
- Riddles in the Dark (The Hobbit)
- Shipwreck (Life of Pi)
- The man taking Eva Mendes (Holy Motors)

Beasts of the Southern Wild:
Samantha Morton's entire scene in Cosmopolis, especially the constant "I understand none of this".
Last five movies seen:
Chunhyang (2000) **1/2
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) **
Valhalla Rising (2009) ***1/2
Young Adult (2011) *
How I Ended This Summer (2010) *1/2
This year, I was alternately tickled, thrilled and exhilarated by sequences in The Master (processing, "pick a point"), To the Wonder (the last shot), Tabu ("Baby, I Love You"), In Another Country (to the lighthouse), Vamps (Times Square finale), Cosmopolis (Paul Giamatti), Beyond the Hills ( ), Passion (the operatic denoument) and Holy Motors (everything).
But I just watched Laurence Anyways again, and while it might not be the BEST new film I saw this year, boy did it contain some of the most vivid and memorable cinematic moments. I'll spoiler-tag these clips; better not to watch them if you haven't seen the film.
Looper montage:
Best climax of the year!
No pics:
Lincoln arguing with Mary in the bedroom.
Lincoln talking with Grant. ("Each of us has made it possible for the other to do terrible things.")
Lincoln telling the Ethan Allen story.
Prometheus abortion scene.
Mad Dog fight in The Raid.
Opening of Bernie
End of Watch's ending.
Still have a lot of stuff to see this year too.

I know I've got a big ego, I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though.
01. Prison sex scene (The Paperboy)
This is, at least, the most memorable scene of the year.
Amour: the early scene in the kitchen when Anne has her first stroke.
In The Fog: the closing scene
The Deep Blue Sea: the underground scene
Oslo, August 31st: the closing scene
Killer Joe: the fried chicken scene
Anna Karenina: the horse race scene
Laurence Anyways: the scene in the restaurant
Cosmopolis: the scene with Pattinson and Giamatti
Rust & Bone: when Cotillard puts her hand on the glass of the killer whale tank
Klip: the scene from my siggie
Barbara: the closing scene
Jiro Dreams Of Sushi: every scene in which they prepare a piece of sushi
Reality: the opening scene (a shame the rest was so mediocre)
In Another Country: any scene between Huppert and Jun-Sang Yu
The Day He Arrives: any scene in the restaurant/pub
Holy Motors: basically every scene
I will marshall all the forces of darkness to hound you to an assisted suicide - Peter Capaldi, In The Loop
Killing them softly.
Holy motors. Lavant + Kylie singing.
Looper. .
Amour.
Jali Awards Best Actress 1920-1925
1920 Tora Teje, Erotikon // 1921 Pola Negri, The wildcat
1922 Anna May Wong, The toll of the sea // 1923 Marion Davies, Little old New York
1924 Marie Prevost, The marriage circle // 1925 Gloria Swanson, Stage struck
So we all basically found all of Looper memorable, right? XD
But anyways:
Looper -
Wreck-It Ralph -
Holy Motors - The whole movie is chock full of memorable scenes but Lavant as the beast with Eva Mendes as the American model in the sewers stood out.
I think I've said it before somewhere here, but that scene is better than most whole films this year.
I will marshall all the forces of darkness to hound you to an assisted suicide - Peter Capaldi, In The Loop
Yes. That was the highlight of the film, it was really beautifully done.
In terms of my favourite scenes of the year:
Holy Motors - Father picking up his daughter from a party.
Laurence, Anyways - Fred at the restaurant/Bal
The Master -
