7. Sour Deal
High Fidelity (2000)

Fitting, this: an out-of-print rarity from the ultimate collector-nerd fantasy flick.

John Cusack’s record dealer is offered a beautiful stash of vinyl for next to nothing in a revenge-fuelled fire sale, but clashes with his ‘honour among geeks’ moral code.

15. Lairy Leary
Natural Born Killers (1994)

In an appearance excised from the final cut, Denis Leary plays a pacing, anxious prison inmate delivering a conspiracy-heavy rapid-fire rant about anything and everything.

It’s a bit like watching the Reduced Oliver Stone Company, or Bill Hicks in fast forward. Either way, it’s ace.

21. Toy Soldiers
The Sixth Sense (1999)

The young Haley Joel Osment shows terrifying empathy in this stripped scene from M. Night Shyamalan’s spooky chiller.

With Bruce Willis’ Dr Malcolm looking on, Osment’s Cole plays a tearful game of soldiers so involved that he gives his KIA playthings histories and families right down to the weight of their first-born. Strong stuff.
