Awesome / The Sting

Go To

  • The final fifteen minutes of the movie, with enough genuine plot twists to keep audiences guessing even after they've seen the damn thing more than five times.
  • The poker game between Gondorff and Lonnegan, where Gondorff's intentionally crass behavior gets on Lonnegan's nerves to where Lonnegan tries to cheat hard on a high bet... only to have Gondorff somehow pull off a better cheat. It needs to be seen to be believed.
    Gondorff: (rubbing it in) You owe me fifteen grand, pal!
  • How Joe Erie Jumped at the Call to help avenge Luther, and takes a beating from Snyder without breaking.
  • The Big Damn Heroes moment of the hired bodyguard who the audience had been led to believe was the assassin when they take out Salino the assassin.
