NFT: Best Sopranos Scences

I will say though that I can't listen to "Oh Girl" by the Chi-Lites without thinking of Tony whipping that politician when he caught him fucking his goomba.

just Uncle Junior and I wouldn't argue with any of them...

- The graveyard for burying Jackie Jr

- Ralphie's bait and switch (she was a heyor) outside with the guardrail

- Pussy's fate on the boat

- makings of a Varsity athlete

- Christopher's shooting

- the retaliation for that shooting

- Phil getting shot in the head

- killing the rat on the college trip

- Chris sitting on the dog

Christopher's intervention

Paulie fighting the old lady in the nursing home lol

were limited.

but besides some of the classics already mentioned (including just about every scene with Uncle June) for many reasons this was one of my favorite scene in the entire series.

Tony running from the FBI at Johnny Sack's.

Russian episode with Paulie and Chris was amazing. Every scene was great.

"Mayonnaise!!! You got Mayonnaise on your FACE!!!

Yours isn't Vito in the van?

Bugging out when the psychic medium was talking to the ghosts lol

They all wind up taking refuge in Artie's restaurant during that nasty rainstorm

when Chris and Paulie are in the truck freezing and starving to death eating ketchup packets. The hole episode was fantastic. I think Steve Buscemi directed it.

my favorite scene

Paulie and the medium
The Rhode Island boys

is the scene where Carmalla told Tony she fanatasized about Floria and the tense argument that followed. I thought tha was such a great scene. You didn't know what Tony was going to do. Great acting by both.

One underrated one for me was the cop who didn't take Tony's bribe when he got pulled over for speeding with Carmella. Tony pulled some shit snd the cop got fired and got a job at Lowe's or something. Always liked how that cop was just steady in what he was doing.

The correct term is 'Goomar'

Mike Florio was never on the Sopranos. I believe the guy you're thinking of was Fueriou (sp)

Spelling error- Furio, Tony's driver

is also hilarious. Always a treat when he shows up

Beat me to it.

Crazy good episode...

the dialog a bit differently but the salad scene was great
Link - ( New Window )

after he returns from the Janice/Richie murder.

Carmela's face when he says, "Don't make me make you an accessory after the fact....stop asking" is hilarious.

The she reflects and says, "That...was not a marriage made in Heaven."

figured this would be a safe place for my first post.

Personally, these Paulie scenes come to mind.

Paulie explains tying his shoes

Paulie discussing the extinction of the dinosaurs ("wasn't it a meteor?" "THEY'RE ALL MEATEATERS!)

When he explains about Pergatory.

"How long do we have to stay in pergatory?"

" I don't know... it's different for everybody. You take your mortal sins multiply times 50, then you take your Vania sins you multiply times 25. Me I figure I've got about six thousand years before I enter the kingdom of heaven."

where Melfi is considering telling Tony about the rape, knowing he would have that guy whacked for it. Tense scene with great acting...

by making a collection at the Asian brothel. He goes in, and just violently tears the place up.
Also, loved the scene where he and another enforcer show up at Christopher’s friends’ place to get Tony’s tribute from a score. Then he extorts an extra grand from them, and laughs in their faces.
Furio was an excellent character who was given too little to do on the show.

Yea Bevilaqua....then Furio says Italian, "these two suck each others d___" Also a great scene.

Bad ass

I don't know why. It just didn't stick with me. 'The Wire'...now that show I loved.

One of the best scenes for sure. She was really a good person but we all wanted Tony to squash that guy.


My favorite scene (spoiler alert): Jackie JR tries to earn some respect by robbing the card game, he and his buddies lose their cool and start shooting, they run but the getaway car is gone, Jackie makes it but his buddy is left standing in the street where Christopher ends up sneakily behind him to take him out, followed by the car pulling up perfectly with a screaming Furio for Christopher to jump in. I thought that was a great scene illustrating the how different the wannabes (Jackie jr and crew) were from the real made guys.

This is the standout for me. Classic

So many classics but this one has me rolling every time.

"How was Florida?"

"Hot and sticky....like my balls"

So many already listed but the scene in the last episode with Paulie talking about the cat staring at the picture of Christopher gets me every time...

Why does the Wire have to get brought up when we're talking about the Sopranos? Not just you really but we get it. The Wire was your guy's show back at the time Sopranos took over the world. We get it.

I didn't watch The Sopranos in its entirety when it aired. I never wanted to wait too long for an episode. I had other things to worry about when I was in high school. I started binge watching the DVDs maybe less than a month after the final episode aired.

I did watch the finale the date it aired to see what would go down. I don't like shows taking years off from filming either.

I know it's because of COVID but I couldn't give a shit less what happens on Stranger Things .... because I don't even remember what happened because it was like 4 years ago lol

Loved that entire story line with his degenerate gambler sponsor who Chris turns out and eventually kills.

Also really liked the story line with Juliane Margolis and Chris sliding from herbal medicine back to junk.

Of all the worthless scumbags, and of course they were all worthless scumbags, Chris might have been the most sleazy and irredeemable of them all. Zero good qualities. The scene where T kills him, with The Departed soundtrack’s Comfortably Numb prelude might have been the high water of the entire series.

Speaking of Van the Man playing the Sopranos, the scene where Tony kills Tony B is also terrific. Glad Tidings indeed.

Best American TV series ever. Nothing really even close. Especially when you hold all the other contenders to the rest of time and rewatching. Sopranos still delivers, the rest do not.

I’m in the couldn’t get into it category myself. But I can’t sit through any mob show or movie. I acknowledge that sopranos,godfathers,etc.. are great films/shows, well made, great casts and all. I’ve seen most of the movies for various reasons and thought they were really good but would rather watch or do something else. Now documentaries on this subject I’ll watch the shit out of and have since I was a kid.

Funny. I thought The Wire was just boring. I do give it credit because I got through more episodes compared to other shows (ones everyone obsesses over) that I just found a waste of my time....

like Ozark and Game of thrones.

or peaky blinders for that matter

There's so many scenes you'd have to make a list by category. Funniest scene for me has to be Chris's intervention. The look Paulie gives when Adriana says Chris can't perform his duties as a man kills me every time. There will never be a show quite like the Sopranos
