The unreal past

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're counting down our picks for the cinematic moments we wish we could go back and see once more through fresh eyes.

Since we're talking about iconic scenes, we do have to issue a spoiler warning.

The corridor fight Oldboy Any movie could have a fight scene, but

the corridor fight in Oldboy, staged in one continuous shot, stomped on every action scene that ever came before it.

The tight quarters and limited movement makes this one a particularly violent hand to hand battle.

We are up close, close to the action in a way that's technically impressive and also really, really visceral.

We wish we could bottle the feeling you experience when you go into it without any prior knowledge, but

in terms of story and filmmaking, it's an unforgettable scene.

Number 9T Rex Jurassic park the detail and wonder of those impeccably designed digital dinosaurs is special enough, but

it's the moments of terror that affects us the most.

From the second we first see those trembling glasses of water, we know we're about to see something completely wild.

The fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex's escape is still an adrenaline rush as it attacks the overturned jeep and stalks our human characters like prey.

It's hard to imagine this isn't actually happening to us.

Before you knew how the dinosaurs worked, this was the scene that made you truly believe those things were real.

Chestburster Alien Sometimes the scariest scenes happen just when when you think everything's fine.

Kane, a crewman on the Nostromo space station, makes a sudden and full recovery after an alien attacks him and attaches itself to his face.

We know better, of course, but nothing could have prepared us for the first time.

We saw the creature's offspring explode from Kane's torso in a gory mess of blood and sl.

The actors were just as shocked as we were.

They had no idea what this thing would look like until the cameras were rolling.

Now, when you see an Alien movie, you sort of know that at some point a chestburster is going to make an appearance.

Still, it'll never be quite as scary as that first time.

The Spinning Top Inception on its own, the image of a top spinning endlessly isn't all that significant.

But when you know what's at stake for Leonardo DiCaprio's character at the end of Inception, it's a hotter topic of debate that rivals whether Jack could have fit on the door in Titanic.

Is this character finally awake and truly seeing his children for the first time in years?

If the top stops spinning, we'll know for sure.

The movie cuts the black before the top stops spinning.

Or does the movie end before the top just keep spinning?

Bullet the Matrix the Wachowskis techno war thriller is almost a foundational text for how we engage with the Internet in the 21st century.

Its repackaging of philosophical concepts first explored by Plato and Kant has birthed entirely new ways of talking about politics, philosophy and existence.

You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

But as cool as all that is, the Matrix is probably most famous for its stunning bullet time sequence.

The shootout shows bullets moving through space in slow motion while the camera itself seems to still be moving in real time.

It's an awe inspiring showcase of the character's extra sensory perception with the use of cutting edge cinematic technology.

Stargate a space Odyssey Any movie that's almost completely devoid of dialogue in its final act better deliver on story and visuals devoid of dialogue.

The sequence at the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey is a singular achievement in special effects and surreal storytelling.

Astronaut David Bowman steers his ship towards a mysterious monolith floating in space around the planet Jupiter.

He is suddenly ripped into an interdimensional gateway full of psychedelic lights and colors that culminates in his spiritual rebirth.

It's weird, enthralling and full of meaning.

Continuing to dazzle new viewers since 1968.

Number 4 the Shower Psycho to us, violence on screen is nothing new.

However, audiences in 1960 were used to tame haze cold honoring horror movies that left truly horrific things to their imagination.

We don't just see Marion Crane's murder, we are in that shower with her.

The shrill strings that play over the soundtrack are relentless as the knife and that awful plunking sound effect with each stab.

Fast and furious editing gives the illusion that every cut of the film is a cut of the knife.

Over 60 years later, it almost makes you shudder to think what a movie would have to do now to get that kind of reaction.

Night Shyamalan's horror thriller about a child psychologist trying to help a boy who sees ghosts, turns the tables on you in its final moments.

It turns out that Dr. Malcolm Crowe is just another ghost.

Night Shyamalan became the master of the third act twist, and you started to question everything you've seen.

They only see what they wanna see upon rewatch.

It's almost unbelievable that it wasn't obvious the first time.

But when you have no idea Malcolm's dead, the moments of drama between Malcolm and his wife and the manipulative editing and framing of certain scenes jumps out at you.

It holds up, but it's impossible to recapture the genuine surprise.

Visceral, explosive and masterful, Steven Spielberg's opening scene is not your dad's war movie.

Where war movies of the past felt distant from the action, the much lauded D Day sequence puts you right in the middle of the onslaught.

It's not romantic horror so much as it is confusing, brutal and terrifying.

We're introduced to characters only to see them die immediately.

It cost $12 million and required over a thousand actors to make a reality.

Since its release, several filmmakers have cited the scene as a major influence on how they approach action.

Star Wars Episode the Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader's revelation that he is Luke Skywalker's father must have had people hollering in the aisles.

It twisted everything we thought we knew about the galaxy far, far away and made us question what separates the good from the evil.

Luke, you do not yet realize your importance.

You have only begun to discover your power.

Join me, and I will complete your training with our combined strength.

But the moment has been referenced and parodied so much that there's no mystery around it anymore.
