Are you referring to fullness of shit, by any chance?
I think that clip is buried somewhere in the cinematic masterpiece that is "Reality Bites".
speaking of Reality Bites, I'd like to remind/inform readers that Winona Ryder will be in the new Star Trek. Woo!
Not a Nineties movie -- Wall Street is from 1987.
#4: One of the greatest movie scenes ever. "Are you interested for Christ?!"
Sounds like an Ayn Rand monologue.
Ugh. I got that GGGR quote wrong. For shame! It was right there in the clip.
@3, 'cause Star Trek does NOTHING but open up new acting opportunities for actors and actresses....
The clip is perfectly representative of the 80's number 5. He is looking for a clip that expresses the 90s. #3 suggests a scene from Reality Bites. This also occurred to me. But I prefer another M Douglas scene. Choose one from Basic Instinct. A perfect movie that deals with the left overs of the 80s and feminism and revenge thrillers and the death and resurrection of machismo and that clearly fears the future generated out of the ashes of all of them. Like the dancing scene or where cowboy bites it in the elevator. Or the tumble against the wall.
@5, it helps to read before writing. Charles is comparing the cinema of the 90s to this clip, of which he says, "The 80s and its form of mind/madness is fully exposed, totally expressed."
Or the scene where he finally decides to try and play her game by embracing everything he has tried to suppress in himself.
The 90s? Life Is Sweet. Or if that's too early, Secrets and Lies.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IMwTEFCC9nk is the obvious winner.
Charles, this is obviously a great scene, but the film is from the 80's, you knew that right? i would have chosen SCARFACE, but wall street is a great flick
One of The 90's scene which represents the decay of capitalists society in glorious dark hues is this one:

GIVE ME ALL YOU GOT!!!
I'd say just about anything from "Office Space" would fit the bill nicely.
I want to throw another M Douglas in there too: Falling Down.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Kill me with a golf ball? It's not enough you have all these beautiful acres fenced in for your little game, but you gotta kill me with a golf ball? You should have children playing here, you should have families having picnics, you should have a goddamn petting zoo. But instead you've got these stupid electric carts for you old men with nothing better to do."
Michael Douglas movies are actually a pretty good object lesson in exactly why and how American movies have started to suck so bad in the past few decades. At least one chapter's worth.
