History Awesome / TheWall

* Pink tearing the hotel apart. It's only hinted at in the album. In the movie on the other hand, it's so epically [[RootingForTheEmpire crazy that you can't help but cheer him on even though what he did was wrong.]]

* The movie version of "Empty Spaces", "What Shall We Do Now?" is an extended version of the original song that is good enough to have been on the album. And the creepy, creepy Gerald Scarfe animations just adds to it.

* The animation on "Goodbye Blue Sky". Blunt, beautiful and haunting, it really captures the scars left by WorldWarII on the psyche of the generation who lived through it, and who came after.

** ''The destruction of the Wall.'' Holy shit. It's awesome in the film, it's awesome in the album, but the live show? WOW. It's physically, actually torn down, crashing to the ground alongside the deafening chants of ''TEAR DOWN THE WALL! TEAR DOWN THE WALL!'' by the band and audience. And to top it all off? Roger Waters lets loose an absolutely incredible PrecisionFStrike.
