First post!...and...Best scene...

I was going to make a post asking the same question until I realized there was one, even if it is like a year old.

My favorite scene was probably the pool scene because it is great power-of-suggestion. Not once do you see the leopard (or what other cat), but you still get a perfectly clear picture of what it looks like and where it is. The effects were simple (e.g. growling, shadows) but very effective.

One of my favorites is the scene where Irina is at the psychiatrist's office and he's repeating the story of the Cat People as she lies there in the shadows. There's one particular shot where the light forms a circle around her face. She looks so sad and so trusting of the doctor! After all that, you can't help but feel sorry for her later on in the film, even if she is the villain.

I like the swimming pool too, obviously. And any of the scenes involving the office at night. The lighting in that setting especially was gorgeous playing off the lines of the desks, etc..

my favorite scene would be where alice is walking down the street after work, and the street is filled with an eery atmosphere and she begins to realise something is following her.

So many good scenes. Irena trying to catch the bird in the cage - the way she bats her hand about like a cat does with its paw combined with the subtly malicious look on her face. If you've ever caught the disturbing sight of a cat "playing" with its prey, this scene looks unsettlingly familiar. Another goose-bumps moment - after we see the sheepherder with the slaughtered sheep, that tracking shot of large-wild-animal paw-prints changing to women's-shoes footprints - incredibly spooky.

The scene when they return to her apartment after they were married. She undresses in her bedroom and Ollie is at the door saying goodnight & she sinks by the door and reaches for the doorknob then hears the panther in the zoo and lets her hand drop, then she slumps and says goodnight.

the pool scene was most memorable for me! quite nerve wracking! quite liked the special effect of the black panther as well.

cheers.

the scene in the restaurant where the other "cat woman" calls Irena "sister"

i was disappointed that that lady was never shown again in the movie



so many movies, so little time
