20 More Incredibly Satisfying Moments In Movie History

8. "Yeah, F*ck You Too!" - The Thing

Yet another one liner shoved into our ears right before the main enemy kicks the bucket. Rather than using that extra kilojoule of energy for something more productive, Kurt Russell lobs a stick of dynamite at the Thing right after answering its alien cry with 'Yeah, f*ck you too!'. In this case, a giant, life-imitating space alien that has got the better of Kurt's entire crew (save for two members) gets an explosive end to its bastardised life and is left with a killer line leading to an audience satisfied - no matter how needless it might seem in hindsight. Of course that is until the hopeless - albeit cool - final end scene.

7. That Rain Finally Comes... - Taxi Driver

Nobody likes to see Harvey Kietel with a effeminate long little finger nail and horribly long creepy hair pimp out a 13 year old Jodie Foster and rob her of a childhood, do they? Especially mad Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro); an ex-Vietnam veteran with insomnia, environmental issues and a tendency to take girls on dates to a porn theatre. Tired of wiping the stains off the back seat of his car or ferrying around film directing racist psychos who have a problem with black people and an obsession with the effect a bullet can have on a womans lady parts, Bickle shaves (most) of his hair off and decides that enough is enough. There isn't much chance of that rain coming to wash away all the troubles 70's New York holds, but Travis will be damned if he doesn't do something decent. By decent I mean killing Keitel and his creepy pimp cronies and setting Jodie Foster free from the shackles of prostitution - Taxi Driver is ultimately about one man's loneliness and alienation in an ever changing society, but this swift vigilante justice is viewer service of the highest order.
