Excellent! Talent knows talent....

Here we go...

Operative: Do you know what your sin is Mal?
Mal: Aw Hell, I am a fan of all seven. *punching, puncturing and such* Right now, I’m gonna have to go with Wraith.

Or

Jayne: 3 full mags and my swinging cod

The final scene with Mal and River on the bridge. That was the closest the movie got to the feel of the series. Excellent dialogue.

I've said it before, and it still holds:

"My turn."

It's the turning point of the movie, the payoff, the point where River becomes a truly whole person. It's shot and performed beautifully, with Simon's bubbly dying apology (or so it seems) as the sounds of battle fade away and the world goes dark. Then we have another moment of Riveresque helplesness. Then, as the emergency lights come on... everything changes forever.

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Ahh... that was nicely done. Good call.

Me too. I had seen the whole series before I saw the movie and had been waiting for the movie since the show ended. It was incredible, after years of rumors, snippets of information, a couple of trailers, some tv spots and the occasional photo to finally see the ship on the big screen. Made me so happy.

When I first saw the movie, with no prior knowledge from the series, I thought Wash's whole "leaf on the wind" line/joke was my favorite. When he says it the second time, Mal asks him what he means with complete frustration. Then they fly through maelstrom. When i see the movie now, any scene with Jewel Staite in it is my favorite.

River vs. the Reavers, definitely.

After that, I would say the moment that Serenity emerges from the ion cloud with about 500 Reaver ships in tow. Check out the Operative's face!

The whole bit from the fixing of Serenity to the "What was that?"

My favourite stuff from all of Serenity/Firefly.
Tears well up every time.

I have to say the best scene for me is when Mal and River converse on the bridge at the end of the movie. Its an attempt to fill the hole of Wash, but in a respectful manner.

The funniest part for me is when Wash wants Mal to start the story at the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl.
