50 Greatest Movie Scenes Of All Time

9. Apocalypse Now - Meeting Kurtz

If there is one quote from any movie ever made that has stuck with me, it is that of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz shooting down Willard€™s view of himself as being a soldier, when he said: €œYou are an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.€ I was fascinated. But more than that, I was touched. The scene itself is a deep look into the two characters€™ souls, identifying what they want, and what will happen to them. It is perhaps the greatest scene in the film, and that is some feat, considering it is one of the finest movies ever made. http://youtu.be/V9oBiD7-kAM
