It’s Emily and William here this week sharing a column that we wrote ages ago about our favourite scenes from old films. We were thinking about those films where we have strong memories of a particular scene, and want to share with you some of the ones we like best.
One of my, William’s, favourite films in Grease. I especially love it when they perform Grease Lightning and Beauty School Dropout. A favourite scene is the one with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, right at the end, when she arrives at the funfair looking beautiful in a cool leather outfit and smoking. It’s a fantastic scene and his face hits the floor!
More good ones are from the Italian job, like the chase between the minis, and the other scene when they blow up a car and Michael Cain says ‘you’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off’. I also love the scene when the coach is hanging on the edge of the cliff.
As for me Emily, I love it in Mamma Mia 2 when Cher arrives in the helicopter and blasts out that song. It’s fantastic! My favourite film has to be ‘The Holiday’ with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. I can’t even describe why I love it so much, I just do. There’s not even a particular scene I love, it’s more I like the idea of doing a house swap like that, especially if the houses are as lovely as theirs. I wouldn’t turn up somewhere snowy in high heels like she does!
We hope our article this week has brought back some memories for you of great scenes in films. We’ve certainly had more time over the last two years to watch films, what with COVID and the lockdowns!

I read the article about the weekend weather for October 20th on ODG, and it gives a good sense of autumn conditions in the Lake District. While it looks like it will be a bit cooler and cloudier, there’s still a chance for drier periods — perfect for walks and outdoor activities if the weather avoids heavy rain or storms. The article notes that it may be possible to avoid the worst effects of storms and enjoy the weekend mostly without serious weather problems, though higher elevations could be windy and chilly. This is useful information for anyone planning trips, hikes, or outdoor time, as warm clothing and waterproof shoes will be helpful, but in some areas the weather may…
Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. kids bjj gi
Within chemical engineering, an equation might model reaction rates based on temperature and concentration. Understanding these relations guides reactor design. Safety and efficiency stem from accurate equations. UNICCM highlights that engineering equations shape industrial processes.
