Memento, the ending.
Twenty-four Eyes, the final ten minutes or so. A very beautiful and moving end.
Memento, the ending.
C'mon people. Don't be so prudish and stingy with your favorite movie moments.
All in subtle slow motion...
Mrs. Chan, dressed in one of her cheongsams, walks into the dining area filled with her neighbors. Then, with a seductive sway of her hips, Mrs. Chow, dressed in a more western style dress, joins them.
Yumeji's Theme is playing.
Mr. Chow then excuses himself. He walks out, and then we pan back to see Mrs. Chan comforting her husband.
Such glorious cinematography.

When reading the title I instantely thought of dumber and dumber starring Jim Carrey. When they pick up the guy in their car and Jim Carrey (Llyod) says "Do you know what the most annoying noise is?" (something along those lines) and then does a funny ass impression.
Okay, be sure to look at the one in my post above. The context, of course, is the director, as the clip below is a different movie, but the same director.
Read this before watching the clip:
More pure cinematic art can be seen here. You want to watch from 1:33:00 to 1:37:38. That's about 4:38 seconds. Absolutely beautiful on so many levels.
It's Christmas Eve, probably the year 1967, in Hong Kong. Mr. Chow loves this woman, but she loves another.
As far as the soundtrack goes, first we hear the beautiful restaurant music, then Adiago by Secret Garden, and then finally the opera music as we recall from the story within the story the train ride in the future with the relativistic effect and then we see a Ken Burns style pan of a still photograph of Mr. Chow on the hotel rooftop. And then finally, her exit, as she, in a green checked dress turns around and looks directly into the camera.
Watch the whole thing, and try and follow the dialog and narration. As I said, pure and beautiful cinematic art. Turn the volume up and enjoy!
Again, note: Youtube might not get to the exact spot. Make sure you start at 1:33:00.

This is art, right here...
In subtle slow motion, we see the sway of her hips in her floral print cheongsam dress, the delicate swing of her purse, the dangling cigarette in her companion's hand, the quiet nighttime street of Hong Kong, all the while, Nat King Cole sings Aquellos Ojos Verdes. If you were to see this on Blu-ray, with Dolby 5.1 Surround, in an excellent home theater, you would be in heaven.
Note: sometimes YouTube screws up the entry point. We're looking for time marker 0:28:51.

Holy crap!
How could I have neglected to include this scene? He looks at the bone, ponders it. The music begins to play. He picks it up...

The 5.6.7.8's (a real band) perform in the House of Leaves...

As quoted above, about ten posts back I mentioned the scene with the 5.6.7.8's. Here's a video where Quentin Tarantino explains how and why he put them in the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffsz8TRbKj8
And in fact, in relation to the above post, the entire film is online currently via YouTube. Just watch the beginning, if nothing else. As I said, it is one of the most beautiful and profound films you will ever see, with themes that are universal. It will move and affect you in several ways. Directed by Edward Yang, one of two directors pretty much responsible for the Taiwan New Wave which began in the '80s. I have it on Blu-ray, and that would be the preferred way to watch it.
It is a masterpiece. It is Yi Yi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COXySK50ZR4

This ordinarily wouldn't be the first scene I'd choose from this film (which is very powerful and profound as films go), but it's about the only one I can find online, and it is indeed a good scene.
It starts out with a sort of mis-en-scene style (almost reminiscent of Ozu), but then proceeds to the performance given by the woman playing the wife. Since many of Yang's films star people who have never acted before, I can't really name the actors and actresses. Nonetheless, their performances are extraordinary.
I don't really want to describe the context here, but suffice to say, the husband has come home and discovered that his wife is essentially having a breakdown.
This film is without a doubt one of the greatest films ever made, and the Sight & Sound poll has it in the top 100 (of all films ever made).
The clip is a little dark to begin with, but then lightens up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JzS1wqS7KY

Interesting and I will look at your other clips the morrow.
Found a link for Al Pacino but it doesn't have the conversation before he 'requests' to go to the toilet...

Yeah I haven't seen pale flower and didn't know what to expect with the guy walking upstairs to the opera music - must see that film now...
The late Roger Ebert called Pale Flower one of the great films - he gave it four stars, as he did The Godfather. See his review: http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/great-movie-pale-flower-1964
Mariko Kaga's lovely face and eyes are, well lovely, in that film. You should really explore all the clips I've provided. I posted 23 clips so far. They aren't all the same, so you can't judge the set by watching one.
See the Pale Flower trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOOr4nuWFqU

If you haven't seen it - you need to watch The Godfather - clips will be stuck in your mind forever - better than utube
I've already seen it. It is a great movie. Have you watched any of the clips I posted?

Links to clips help. There's quite a few scenes I could mention, but I can't find the clip online. That's why I haven't posted too many. But the ones I have been posting are still way up there in their beauty/goodness/awesomeness, etc.
