Gene Hackman "Crimson Tide" War Speech

[TideHead]

I noticed in the thread about songs that get you fired up, several people mentioned the theme from "Crimson Tide." This isn't a song, but this scene from the movie gives me chills every time I see it. A few years ago, they would play it on the jumbotron during basketball games at Coleman, but for whatever reason, they quit. Click below to see and hear it:

GO BAMA!! ROLL TIDE!!

I must say that's my favorite portion of any movie, it ranks up there with Patton's speech!!!

:biga2:

 

[rtrcam]

Yes, that's my favorite too. You know that burnt rival fans when they watched that movie.

 

[gottarun2win]

ranks up there

To that Canadian dog show movie "Flight of the Beagles" where the tireless crew of the heroic beagle "Tandy" yell's during the moving part before Tandy gets her final shot at beating the mean and inscrupable "Beasty Boy" in the Canadian Annual Prissy Dung Formal - "Wah Beagle Eagle" and some elderly man in the line says "Eh?", which was witnessed by a founder of Auburn Technical Institute and Veterinary School of Fine Arts and adapted to their beloved technical college. Still brings tears to me eye. Wish I had the clip of that movie -

Good one, gottarun2win, but I still prefer the "Crimison Tide" version!

Ramsey: Mr. Cob?

Cob: Yes, Sir!

Ramsey: You're aware of the name of this ship, aren't you, Mr. Cob?

Cob: VERY aware, Sir!

Ramsey: And what is that name, Mr. Cob?

Cob: ALABAMA, Sir!

Ramsey: Who live in a fine, outstanding State.

Cob: OUTSTANDING, Sir!

Ramsey: In the greatest country in the entire world.

Cob: In the ENTIRE world, Sir!

Ramsey: And what do we say?!

Ramsey & Cob: Go 'Bama'!

Crew: ROLL TIDE!!

TideHead - Thanks for the link. It's in the 'favorites' list now. Man, I love that scene.

Reckon they'll ever make a movie honoring allbarn? Probably not, no reason to.

Besides, Hollywood probably doesn't even know where allbarn is.

 

[JCase]

Every time I hear that clip it gives me chills. Thanks.

I wonder if they quit playing it because Auburn plays a scene from Hoosiers during halftime!? Haters.

As many ships as there are in the Navy, I'm sure there's one named the "Auburn" - and its probably an inflatable.

 

[TexasBama]

Found it!

The USS Auburn

They already did! An subtle, artsy film called "Dumb & Dumber"...

 

[Crimson Grin]

Nice one TideHead !

~I certiantly got a spine tingling surge of Tide Pride smeared with a hint of Bama bumps after watching that clip!

~Barnville only wished they could carried the same status and prestige

~In my opinoin...True Cow town fans never made an attempt to even watch the movie. If they did, you can sure bet they most certianly would have never made it passed Capt. Ramsey's speech! :biggrin2:

 

[rolltideas]

That's great TexasBama. Made my day. :biggrin: :biggrin2: :biggrin: :biggrin2: :biggrin: :biggrin2: :biggrin:

 

[rolltideas]

That ranks up there with Sarge's rant in Full Metal Jacket.

"Only steers and *****s come from Texas, and you don't look much like a steer so I guess that kinda narrows it down!"

Sarge!!!!!!

 

[Crimsonstain]

thanks TideHead!!!

seeing that again gives me chills...
