welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie knows for this list we’re looking
at the most devastating distressing and
downright hilarious screams of negative
emotion in cinema be warned there are
bound to be a few spoilers ahead so
spoiler alert are you ready go No number
10 Ron Burgundy anchorman The Legend of
Ron Burgundy I love poetry and a glass
of scotch and of course my friend Baxter
here the loss of one’s best friend is
always tragic especially if that friend
is a dog that Jack Black kicks off the
Coronado Bridge in a fierce fit of anger
after he’s carelessly pelted by a
burrito if you want to throw down in
fisticuffs fine I’ve got Jack Johnson
and Tom O’Leary waiting for you right
here what really drives home this scream
though is the absurd build-up from the
ever so eloquent Ron Burgundy what are
you doing that’s how I roll his delicate
speech transcends into a distraught
scream that can be felt all across the
city of San Diago
with pipes like that we consider this
the perfect know to literally kick off
our list the man got it back sir
number nine Simba The Lion King scar
brother help me a slight shift in tone
we go from hilarious comedy to one of
the most heartfelt deaths in cinema
history upon seeing his father fall to
his death at the hands of his uncle Scar
though we didn’t know his uncle was the
culprit at the time our favorite lion
cub lets out his most powerful scream of
denial as the camera zooms out what
makes it that much worse is the way
mufasa’s own scream mixes in with
Simba’s before the dust settles in
complete silence
a tragic shriek fit for a royally
heartbreaking scene get up
number 8 security guard number 2 Austin
Powers international man of mystery
shooter
Shawn nothing beats a good old-fashioned
accepting a face cream or 2 or 3 watch
out move move not quite as smart as his
friend this particular security guard
can foresee no path of escape from
Austin Powers and his steamroller his
scream is passionately fearful of his
slowly approaching death and is
delivered perfectly and comically three
times in a row
while his vocalized struggles prove
futile Michael McDonald will always be
remembered for one of the most
entertaining knows in any comedy watch
out
watch out
number seven Virgil Budd Brigman the
abyss deep core deep core this is cab
one over screaming underwater is clearly
no easy task but of course James Cameron
is on hand to make it great
amid the icy cold depths of the Cayman
trough Lindsay convinces her husband
Virgil to let her drown so he’ll have
enough oxygen to return to their ship
where he’ll hopefully be able to
resuscitate her later I drown and you
told me back to the rig no no yes its
water maori a couple of degrees above
freezing with her body twitching and
struggling virgil lets out a ravenous
spike of emotion the sound design
abandons the muffled realism of the
diving suit in favor of a crisp
voiceover to really drive home the power
of the screen number six marty mcfly
Back to the Future Michael J Fox takes a
little bit of creative Liberty with this
entry after witnessing his best friend
being gunned down by the group of Libyan
nationalists Doc Brown had previously
screwed over everyone’s favorite time
traveler puts all of his weight and
strength behind one high octave scream
Marty’s sweaty and wide-eyed expression
punctuates the sheer pain of his yell
the panicked rush forward alongside
McFly’s further cursing only helps to
build the quick comedic standoff against
the Libyans a perfect scream which we’d
happily go back in time to watch again
and in fact we do number five
jean-luc Picard Star Trek first contact
Alliance patrol yeah this fun no bother
the ones calm and calculated captain
finds himself overwhelmed with revenge
here I will make them pay for what
they’ve done
comparisons to Moby Dick aside Opie dick
Patrick Stewart exclaims his greatest
fury after the enterprise is captured by
the Borg sacrifice and by the dramatic
build-up coupled with the thespian
captain’s delayed reactions are merely
the cherry on top of this outburst this
is about saving the future of humanity
passionate with revenge
Picard smashing of the glass display
provides the nail in the coffin to the
enterprise and provides us a fantastic
big-screen scream number four
detective David Mills 7 I’m trying to
tell you how much I admire you and your
pretty wife those of you familiar with
this David Fincher classic already know
exactly what is in the box overwhelmed
by his own denial sweet young Brad Pitt
refuses to acknowledge his wife’s death
at the hands of the greatest serial
killer as played by Kevin Spacey it
didn’t work out
so I took a souvenir
her pretty head the transition from
panic to denial to grief and ultimately
rage are all portrayed in Pitt’s
performance what’s in a box a gun
chest only assisted by Spacey’s unmoved
expression this savage scream proves to
be one of the silver screens most
dramatic oh god oh god oh
new line executives sought to change the
ending but pit remained adamant about
the proposal we’re guessing he simply
said no no number three
Caesar Rise of the Planet of the Apes a
slight change of pace from depressive
performances as Andy Serkis brings us
pure defiance how do you think you’re
doing huh in the heat of battle against
his captors the intelligent ape Caesar
utters his first word biggest thinking
far off when you damn dirty silence
fills the screen as the shock engulfs
our ears what makes this particular note
interesting is the way Caesars voice was
captured mixing chimp sounds into
circuses voiceover to create an
authentic blend this makes it the only
no on the list to carry the rage of
other animals alongside the actors
itself
number two Frodo Baggins the Lord of the
Rings the Fellowship of the Ring taking
the number two spot on our list is the
one no to almost rule them all after
Gandalf defends the Fellowship from the
wrath of the Balrog he makes his
departure from the living world and
leaves poor Frodo to watch on your couch
the slow motion of the scene helps bring
out the tragedy and turmoil of Frodo
scream meanwhile Elijah woods pain and
agonized expression as he cries out
tells us the whole story before we
reveal our top pick here are some
honorable mentions
number one Darth Vader Star Wars Episode
three Revenge of the Sith where is Padme
is she safe George Lucas’s sci-fi epic
is no stranger to dramatic nose while
the reveal of Luke Skywalker’s father is
probably the most recognizable of the
series it’s Darth Vader’s lamenting of
his fallen wife that triumphs on the
list is she alright
it seems in your anger you killed her a
blend of Frankenstein imagery with
powerfully tragic choir sounds is the
perfect build-up to represent Vader’s
devastation I couldn’t G with a lie I
felt it whether or not you think it’s
James Earl Jones thick bellowing voice
that’s being juxtaposed with the
brooding torment of such an iconic
villain doesn’t take away from the fact
that this is the cheesiest and therefore
most memorable no in movie history

powerful nose are your favorite for more
