Top 5 Best Movie Phone Calls

Swingers 

The Citizen Kane of awkward movie phone calls see Mike (Jon Favreau) attempt to leave a voicemail for the pretty girl he has met in a bar (Brooke Langton). Not only does he fragrantly ignore his buddy's 'wait a week' advice but sets himself on course to be dateless for much longer. The range of emotion in this scene is breathtaking as Mike goes from being cool and collected, to being almost on his knees in desperation! For dating 101, please watch this!

Taxi Driver 

In Martin Scorsese's gritty classic, everyone automatically goes to the 'You Talkin' To Me?' scene, but this scene is the definition of being ditched over the phone. After Travis (Robert De Niro) blotted his copy book by taking his date Betsy (Cybil Sheppard) to a porn cinema- but his attempts at pleading for another chance bring about one of the most underplayed display's of disappointment rejection by De Niro! Just imagine if she had ditched him by text?

Taken 

This scene has become the high point of the hit and miss Liam Neeson franchise and here he provides an awe inspiring showing of brooding animosity. When his daughter is kidnapped from her Paris hotel, Bryan Mills (Neeson) proceeds to coolly not only threaten the lives of the captors, but list his particular set of skills "Skills that make me nightmare for people like you!" as the voice at the end of the line snides chimes "Good Luck!" it sets him on a path of vengeance that all will come to regret!

Scream 

One of the 1990's more iconic phone calls sees Casey (Drew Barrymore) pick up the phone on an ordinary saturday night only to be told "I'm gonna gut you like a fish!" What follows is a sadistic game of trivia for her to stay alive! Wes Craven has proved himself to be the master of suspense horror and this would prove to be one of his more memorable outings in recent years!

Lost Highway 

Of all the offerings on this list, this one is by the most zany! Delivering as only David Lynch can, Fred (Bill Pullman) meets a mystery man at a party who claims he is already at his house. Upon Fred understandably not believing this story, the man proceeds to call his home number. While he stands before him, the man's voice answers at the other end confirming his is already there! One of the Lynch's finest moments and one call you definitely will not see every day.
