What's your favorite scene from the RENT movie?

My favorite scene would have to be when Joanne and Mark give each other the 'look' before the tango, hilarious!

Oh My, all of La Vie Boheme was great too..

...and when Roger came to the Life Support meeting, that moved me so much!

So hard to decide!

No way to decide. Some favorites:

Without You (which I usually hate in the show, too)
La Vie Boheme
Tango: Maureen
Over the Moon
all Life Support meetings

too many...

Tango:Maureen- The Eyebrow

Over the Moon had me in stitches

La Vie Boheme in its entirety.

The scene in Without You where Roger finds Mimi buying smack again really moved me.

All of Life Support stuffs.

Expression on Mark's face when Mrs Johnson suggests he gets back together with Maureen.

I'll Cover You: Reprise had me sobbing.

The Cliff. Pure giggles.

Final shot of Angel in Mark's film.

la vie boheme was unbelieveable. i was bouncing in my seat. also, the life supports were powerful. and one that really stuck out for me was another day. not only do i love that song, but the ending shot of roger on the balcony against his friends in the street was really striking!!

The breaking back into the loft scene...

"You're drunk!"
"NooI'mnooOOt!"

"Expression on Mark's face when Mrs Johnson suggests he gets back together with Maureen."

Thanks Fizz, i forgot that one! I laughed so hard during that part too!

The drunk Angel, such a classic!

And again to add more, I'll cover you reprise, Jesse is too good, and Adam cries.

Probably "I'll Cover You Reprise" and Mark's movie at the end.. SO gripping.

[cudramacat]

Posted: 11/24/05 at 12:30am

Oh, I'm not sure I can chose but I will list a few:
-"La Vie Boheme" rocked my socks off!
-"I'll Cover You" reprise had me doing the ugly cry
-"Seasons of Love" in the opening....I just liked it:)
-The end when Mark showed his film and Angel's face flashed on the screen
-When Mimi was going through withdrawal symptoms from the drugs (I think that's what it was) and Roger carried her in his arms to the sofa and held her (I think "Without you" was playing)
-The whole tango fantasy scene
...okay, I should stop now....

My question, When Roger carried Mimi in on the sofa, why didn't he use the balnket that was behind him, i'm probably the only one who noticed this...it just bugged me. But the moment was cute.

I was very worried that I'll Cover You Reprise could have played too "cheesy" on the big screen, but boy was I wrong. I thought it was done perfectly, just as powerful as the stage version. Very well done.

I loved that during Take Me As I Am, all the guests of the party kept following Maureen and JoAnne from room-to-room, trying to listen in on their "argument." Classic.

I like the blue blouse Adam wears.

i thought rosario did a great job with Out Tonight...
here is something i didn't like...i LIKED the scene with Mark dreaming the tango..but i think they showed maureen too soon...and i really missed her coming in and saying WHICH WAY TO THE STAGE? i always thought that was hysterical...although the motorcycle entrance was hysterical...
i think adam pascal is amazing in this movie as is jessie l martin..i wrote a "review" on Rent advice if anyone is interested..its just my opinions...and its all positive so please don't anyone get mean if you don't agree with me!
its just an opinion!
i LOVED take me or leave me! sooo funny how everyone followed them around..and i was SOOOOOOO moved by the church scene...jesse L..KICKED IT! amazing!
did anyone else laugh when adam was driving to santa fe? and then was on the mountains? it looked like a marlboro commercial! LOL!

too hard to say. i loved the whole movie! i really loved:

-the whole thing with Mark and Mrs Johnson about getting abck together with Maureen! LOL!
-Without You (especially when mimi is shivering from the withdrawl in her bathtroom-that just moved me so much. and when roger finds her buying again)
-La Vie Boheme
-One Song Glory (when April gets her HIV test results back, so moving for such a small clip!)
-Marks whole "there are times......and then-they call-and i remember" monologue. i found that quite funny!
-Tango: Maureen
-and i absolutely LOVED when angel breaks into the loft for them and collins asked "you gonna put that garbage can back?" and angel says all diva-like "no!"
-i actually really liked the staging for another day and what you own. i thought WYO was very effective b/c throughout the song when theyre apart theyre basically singing about how theyre alone in life. then they come together and look each other in the eye on the line "youre not alone" just the looks they give each other after they come together were great!

if i dont stop im gonna name every scene in the movie. LOVED IT ALL!

right now, its a tie between la vie boheme, take me or leave me, glory, tango maureen, and over the moon.

"Out Tonight" was SO kickass. Rosario Dawson was so agressive with it! Hot stuff.

The eyebrow raise before the tango... I can't get Anthony's expression out of my head - oh and then later when he explained where he learned to tango - the barmitzfah or something - very funny.

And of course...

THE CLIFF!
I totally got this Ricky Martin.. or even Britney Spears "I'm not a girl not yet a woman" vibe. Wow.

But the movie as a whole was AMAZING. My favorite movie of the year!

So the Cliff thing was totally a music video. I was totally like "Scar Tissue", when the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are driving in their car with their hair blowing in the wind. Good times.

I thought "Out Tonight" was hot stuff. Rosario really impressed me.
La Vie Boheme was Kick!

I love Today 4 U. Who am I kidding, Angel/Wilson rocked my socks.

Without You through the end was so moving. So good.
Loves it, loves the movie-version.

Definitely "What You Own." So funny.


Wait...that's not what they were going for?

[GClef2]

Posted: 11/24/05 at 2:00am

Out tonight was amazing. I loved watching Idina's face in the tv sets during "over the moon" they were sooooo funny!!

[theatreboi11]

Posted: 11/24/05 at 2:06am

Tango Maureen rocked!
Over the moon- can I just say the best camera angle on the face of the earth is the sucking of the milk!!!
La Vie Boheme
Take me or Leave me

I must add that I was very disappointed in the life support scenes.....I felt they were too cheesey and coombyah for me...

[kates422]

Posted: 11/24/05 at 2:08am

Gah..i just LOVED Without You. It was so beautiful.

Also, I'll Cover You: Reprise. Jesse was awesome!

[Unknown User]

Posted: 11/24/05 at 2:35am

over the moon
christmas day when jesse says "merry christmas bitches!" omg, i was peeing my pants
la vie boheme
without you, the scene when roger finds mimi buying drugs again- very well done.
I'll cover you reprise- had me in tears
the end of "Rent" i thought that was powerful
the finale.

and off subject, i thought jesse l. martin was phenomenal in this film. i was really blown away.

God, I can't pick. If you want to go with best cinametography and shots etc, I think Rent and Take Me or Leave Me win that, most moving/chilling: Without You, I'll Cover You-Reprise, Finale, funniest: La Vie Boheme, Tango Maureen and Over the Moon was just plan crazy. :-P I loved it all though. God, Mark's little quirks had me laughing so hard. "Come on, this isn't my bar mitzvah give it back Maureen!" Tehehehe.

Why is everyone so fixated on the damn cliff scene? It was fine by me - showed that he was in NM - what's the big freaking deal?

I guess I'm fortunate that I don't watch MTV and would rather listen to Yoko Ono singing tribal chants than anything Britney Spears does....

BTW - I am 40 years old, out of shape and can't dance a lick, but La Vie Boheme had me bouncing in my seat like a little girl on speed...
