Awesome / A Bridge Too Far

• The scenes where the C-47's drop their troops and gliders. All of it was real, and are full of epic Widescreen Shots and P.O.V. Cams everywhere.
• Horrock's big Dynamic Entrance / Establishing Character Moment.
• During the initial drops of the 82nd, Gavin's Dutch military aide Harry saving the general from a German machinegunner with a precise shot.
• James Caan, convincing an army surgeon to examine his commanding officer (whom the surgeon dismisses as dead). "Would you look at him please, sir? [draws pistol] Right now. Or I'll blow your fuckin' head off."
  • In case any bets need to be settled, this actually happened.
  • Then just to seemingly get the last laugh on him, the medical officer drags Dohun over to Rafferty and demands he arrest him for threatening him...for ten fast seconds.
• "I'm sorry, we'd like to accept your surrender, but we haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner."
• When Major Cook is told that they'll be crossing in daylight, after a beat he responds: "Better by daylight."
  • The crossing itself is also one, with the paratroopers successfully crossing under a hail of fire from the entrenched German positions on the other side, even if it ends up not mattering. Major Cook also kept repeating "Hail Mary, Full of Grace" as a way to keep everyone rowing in sequence so that they didn't start rowing in circles.
