“Classic Movie Improv Moments”

Bouncing around the blogs, I found Trevor Mayes at scriptwrecked.com with this post:

Sometimes the most brilliant moments in a scene don’t come from the script.

Marc Russel has written an interesting article entitled, “The Top Seven Classic Movie Moments You Didn’t Know Were Improv,” that’s worth checking out.

“Scriptwriting isn’t easy. Some people spend months trying to perfect a specific scene, trying to write that perfect line that sticks in the mind of those who hear it. Then these guys come along and do it off the top of their heads.”

The 7 movies?

The Silence of the Lambs

Taxi Driver

The Shining

Casablanca

A Clockwork Orange

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Full Metal Jacket

Hm. Three Kubrick films. Hit the link to see which ‘moments’ were improvised.
