My favorite line came right after he dropped that flare into the oil on the tanker, and as it began to explode, the old man in the boat that took oil depth measurements said "Oh thank God!"
I laughed so hard I almost passed out! -

One of my favourite films, but weirdly enough; the scene for me is when the film begins. He's on his own and you get the sense he's been doing this for a long time and things haven't started going
wrong
just yet and everything seems kind of perfect in what is actually a post-apocalyptic world. I just instantly imagined a world where Humans just simply live on water floats permanently and trade amongst each other. It's basically EVE Online, but in a Waterworld. -

I think that moment where you get the wide shot reveal of the Smokers' ship. Up until that point it was always kind of ambiguous as to where they were, then suddenly it all made sense.

Costner at the beginning running away from the smokers while working the boat's mechanisms and the soundtrack going nananananananananananananananananana and then he does the "you're dead" sign to the bad guy

When Jeanne Tripplehorn drops her dress I knew that this would be a film that I would revisit many, many times over the years.
And I have. I really have.

Love it when Dennis Hopper says to the girl, offering her a cigarette.
"Nothing like a good smoke if you miss your Mom"
As mentioned, the old guy in the tanker with his Oh, Thank God on getting blown up.
When the girl asks Hopper as the tanker bursts into flame "Was this your big vision?"
Also dug that Hopper was a descendent of The Capt. of the Exxon Valdez and it had become a family stain of "persecution" and he had become St. Joe
Movies is really not that bad. Not great but definitely entertaining and the hype on production delays and re-writes killed it at the box office. It shouldn't have tanked as hard as it did but shouldn't have been a huge hit either. -

The moon scene leading into the swimming scene. Absolutely gorgeous and the music is some of the most mesmerizing music ever composed. I was 14 when I got the soundtrack, which I got before seeing the movie. I remember listening to that track in my mom's car on an overcast day while gentle raindrops pelted the windshield. I was hooked on that scene before I ever saw the movie.

When it was revealed that the Mariner rejected Helen, when she offered herself to him, because he knew she didn't really desire him (she had done so only to relent him). The realization that he did not take advantage of Helen at the time because, in contrast with his rough edges, he was a man of true character, was very powerful.
