The "HELL YEAH!" Movie Moments

The “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” number from Cats Don’t Dance is a HY because it’s the point where Danny, Sawyer and the other animals show that audience how good they really are, but at the same time telling them that they don’t care if they like it or not, they’re going to keep trying and doing what they love even if they never get their big break.

And as silly as those fake movie posters of them at the end get, it still makes you happy to see that their dreams came true.

Ghostbusters Afterlife:

Spoiler

Peter, Ray, and Winston showing up in full uniform to help fight Gozar, and when it seems they’re about to lose, they’re joined by Phoebe and her own proton pack, aided by the ghost of Egon fucking Spangler (a CGI Ramis that was pretty darn good).

Not only was it awesome to see the guys again, it felt like such a vindicating moment to have a girl Ghostbuster help save the day after the vitriol the female reboot got. Suck it, trolls!!!!

Spider-Man: No Way Home:

Spoiler

Ned accidentally bringing the Andrew and Tobey Peters into the MCU. Every leaked video I’ve seen of that moment has had had the audience explode into cheers at their entrance. You could tell how thrilled both actors were to be back, and them teaming up with Tom Holland was everything I could have hoped for and more.

Also had to give a hell yeah when Tobey gave Andrew that pep-talk about how “amazing” he is. Tremendous growth from the version of Peter who spent the better part of his movies being crapped on by everyone and everything.

I know it’s probably been posted before, but because we lost James Caan, here’s Sonny beating the bejeesus out of that rat bastard Carlo:

That was awesome. And to piggyback on this, the baptism scene, where Michael settles all debts and cleans house, is another piece of pure mastery. I always find myself, counting on my fingers the names of each family: Bardzini, Cuneo, Tattaglia, Strachi...and then Moe Green! Hey, that's Jo's* dad!

I know there's another family-because, FIVE families...hee.

Or when Michael kills Sollozzo and the crooked police captain:

Sonny's only mistake was listening to Connie and not killing Carlo.

I came across What's Love Got to Do With It? on tv this afternoon.  As much as I hate seeing Tina battered, that scene where she fights back, then flees to the hotel across the street, straight through the divorce proceedings is amazing. The anger, the fear, the courage......so well done.

I saw that in the theatre, and when she kicked him in the balls and used that advantage to beat the shit out of him in the limo, the whole place erupted in cheers. 

And when she did that Frogger dash across the access road, with nothing but thirty six cents and a gas station charge card to ask for a room at the Ramada -- then we were silent, with chills at how brave it was.

And the hotel manager took one look at her and understood exactly what was going on, and took her in, free of charge. That moment reminds me that there are good people in the world.

And posted security on her floor (they don't show that in the film, but that's what the real-life manager did).

I'm sure if you go back far enough in this thread you will see that I've mentioned this before but it always bears repeating.  This moment still slaps.  I saw First Wives Club when it first came out and I was a teenager, and I' ve always enjoyed it, but the older I get the more I feel it.  I can't think of another movie scene that makes me smile so unabashedly no matter how many times I've seen it.  And it's punctuated by three legends.  Particularly Ms. Hawn who is a star and a half with presence for days.

The Descendants:

I know there are some that think Matt crossed a line by doing this when his wife was pretty much brain dead, but considering that by all accounts she was a spoiled, selfish toxic, horrible excuse of a mother that totally deserved to be called out on her cheating (and breaking up another person’s marriage) had she NOT been in a coma, I’m going let it pass.

And I hope she heard every word.

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: 

Uncle Frank: You better not ruin my trip, you little sourpuss! Your dad is paying good money for it.

Kevin (with perfect sarcasm): Oh, wouldn’t want to spoil your fun, Mr. Cheapskate!

Rest of the family:

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 had so many:

“I don't need another speech by some impotent whack job whose mother didn't love him, rationalizing why he needs to conquer the universe!” 

Groot getting a long overdue badass moment with the surprise reveal of all the weapons inside him.

”Name’s Rocket. Rocket Raccoon.”

And all of the Guardians showing up to all beat the living shit out of the High Evolutionary.

I am a big proponent on people dressing more modestly in public, but with that said, in the new Barbie trailer, I loved it when Margot Robie's Barbie punches that guy in the face after he grabbed her bum. Reminded me of that video where some jerk thought he could get a cheap feel off of a waitress and she ended up twisting his arm behind his back.

A thing of beauty.  She body slams him, tells him about himself, and has her co-workers call the cops on his creepy ass:
