Withnail and I (1987)
The Moment: Marwood finds himself in the grip of an existential crisis in the middle of a grotty London café.

American History X (1998)
The Moment: Derek Vinyard catches a youth attempting to steal his car, holds him at gunpoint and orders him to bite the curb…
Look Away When: Looking away isn’t enough – you need to cover your ears as well! The noise made by Vinyard’s boot still haunts us to this day.
Meet the Feebles (1989)
The Moment: An oversized bluebottle heads to a recently used lavatory for a quick meal in Peter Jackson’s grotesque Muppet Show parody.
