TOP TEN SCENES FROM THE CONFORMIST, AND TRANSPORTER 2
by Thomas and Sam from Samamidon
1. The dance scene in the ballroom with all the blue windows.
2. The scene where he has to get the bomb off the car, so he drives it off a ramp into the air, flips it upside down, and it zooms under a hook, which catches the bomb, and blows up, and then the car lands on the right side up on the ground, unscratched.
3. The scene where he drives the car off the side of one garage, many floors up, and flies above the street, from one building to another, landing in another garage a few floors down from there.
4. The party with the blind people.
5. Leaves blowing over the car.
6. The scene where he drives the speedboat out of the water on a ramp, so that it goes onto the highway and skids along at the pace of a bus, and then he jumps on the bus, and catches the bad guy.
7. The scene where he walks down the street while trying to hide from a pursuing vehicle; every shot at a diagonal angle.
8. Violets? Violets Monsieur?
9. Every scene involving Dominique Sanda.
10. Every shot of the Audi logo.
