'Twilight' crash scene makes 4th best 'Movie Moment of the Decade'


Kristen Stewart & Robet Pattinson in 'Twilight' - Summit Ent.

What was an absolutely pivotal scene for 2008's Twilight has made its mark on the film community.

Moviefone has listed Twilight's car crash scene (with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson) as one of the "Top 25 Movie Moments of the Decade."

Of course, the translation of this scene from book to film was of utter importance to the validity of the film, so it had to be perfect.

While there were some slight variations made to the scene, for the most part it was pretty dead-on.

Other scenes making the list included Uma Thurman's "Crazy 88" fight scene in Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Jim Carrey's memory loss warp scene in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, the bamboo forest scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Abigail Breslin's "Superfreak" dance in Little Miss Sunshine, the . . . medicinally enhanced scene in Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle, the first scene with Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone, the . . . erm . . . wrestling match in Borat, Smeagol falling into the lava in The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King, the first (and rainy) spidey kiss in Spider-Man, Javier Bardem's do-you-feel-lucky-punk-style "heads or tails" show-down in No Country For Old Men, and all of Heath Ledger's work in The Dark Knight. So, in other words, Twilight is in great company here, and this is a huge honor.

    Dead on??? Are you serious??? The only thing that was close was that he put his hand out and stopped the car (and only once). There wasn't one other thing about that scene that was even close to the book. He was standing in the wrong place to begin with, he only stopped the car once (instead of 3 times), he jumped up and ran away instead of staying behind. It was pivotal, but it was nothing compared to the book. Like the rest of the movie it read like Cliffs Notes compared to the book.

    Okay, okay... they only had a limited budget, but let's not stretch the truth out too far.

    No. Rule 78# "pre-pubescent girls may not decide what constitutes the best movie moments." Or else we'd have a list filled w/ Daniel Radcliffe, these Jokers and Zac Efron. Go Ahead, Rip me a new one. I will never return to this posting again.

    Sincerely,
    Sanity and Reason

    Books sucked. Movie was better anyway.
