10 Cinematic Moments

10 Cinematic Moments to be Thankful for in 2004 is a great read, even if I recognize fewer than half the movies. And it starts with a fight. Who can help shouting "fight! fight!" and circling around to watch?

As any fan of Seinfeld knows, saving a seat in a New York City movie theater is a Darwinian challenge, a test of human endurance and will comparable to a triathalon wrapped in a climb of Mt. Everest. It is a Herculean feat to save a seat while your friend gets some popcorn or uses the bathroom. This is not a task undertaken without great gravitas. The reality of the experience is perfectly captured in Cinemania, when Jack is being heckled by a man a few seats behind him for saving a seat for himself. That the scene [you're about to read about] takes place in the Film Forum is no surprise.
