MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING!!!

However, I know that nobody of you will totally agree with this. In fact maybe every fan has his own Top 10 classify. But it's still a good way to view the best scenes of the game, and discuss about them, and the one that you like more!!!

Enjoy the video-classify

    Very nice! I think I also agree as choices. I might extend the latest video to the end: "Courage anchor, direction, sacrifice" That part is the most poetic and epic of all!

    It was indecided 'till the end if cutting that part or not. At the end I decided to cut it because for me the part in which Guybrush remains alone and trapped in the Crossroads is absolutely one of the best thing I've ever seen in a Monkey Island game. Really awesome.

    That was great - seeing all those clips reminded me how great this game was even with its flaws.

    Wow, that was great! I agree with most of it, but yeah, my #1 would definitely be the ring moment. :)

    I like your choices. You went for more dramatic moments than funny ones, which is fine; I think the nice thing about Monkey Island is that it blends in both, albeit in a bizarre way.

    I want to do one of these, though I fear it'll end-up being: 15. Every line said by Winslow, 14. Everything said by Anemone, 13. How Leviathan blended puzzles with story, 12. Guybrush's dance when he makes fun of D'Oro, etc.

    That's probably my favorite thing about this game: that the writers worked on everything as a large project. D'Oro loses his eye in Narwhal; you see the results in Trial. Rue, fundament, even small lines here and there. There was one in Pirate God, I can't remember which exactly (appropriate: I've been thinking about it all day, and now I forget it), that carried over from Trial. If they just figure out how to pace their puzzles and weave them in with their story, and hopefully fix some niggles with the technology, then. Well, then I'll be very happy.

    "LIKE A VOLCANO!" should have been in there. It definitely made my top.

    Good choices, although i think Guybrushes death should have been number one.

    6. The Diary is my favorite cutscene in the entire season. Good amount of story progression and humor.

    I gave it some thought and tried to make a Top 15 myself of the best and most memorable moments in ToMI, i.e. the most dramatic, the most heartwarming, the most shocking and the funniest moments for me. I'll indicate the Chapter numbers with roman numbers.

    15. Murray's comeback (III) - very entertaining!
    14. Guybrush & his lawyer (IV) - even funnier how Guybrush deliberately mispronounced his own name, hit himself, etc.
    13. Guilty Morgan (IV) - the opening of that Chapter pulled it off so well, without any words
    12. "Take my ring!" (II) - not only did I love the reunion of Guybrush & Elaine, but also how Guybrush almost didn't want to take her ring.
    11. Finding La Esponja Grande (III) - The fact it was so small was amusing, but then seeing Guybrush being cured was a wonderful moment!
    10. The Beginning of the Adventure (I) - LeChuck turned into a human, the explosion, it was a great start!
    9. "Guybrush... I'm not coming with you." (II) - Pretty shocking moment to me, especially after Elaine's poxed moments.
    8. First Cliffhanger (I) - It was amazing and made me want to play the rest of the series so bad!
    7. Morgan's Death (IV) - very shocking and emotional!
    6. The Pox is Cured (IV) - it kinda belongs to the end of the Chapter, but was a wonderful and special moment in itself.
    5. "Unholy this!" (IV) - the cliffhanger of Chapter Four was the only one that surpassed Chapter One's cliffhanger, so shocking and sad!
    4. "Make me your demon bride!" (V) - what can I say, I was shocked!
    3. "Don't talk like that. I love you." (V) - Awww!
    2. "It's the only way." (V) - Guybrush sacrificing his shred of life and being left alone in the Crossroads almost made me cry.
    Aaaaaand... the number 1. "Place them in a ring at the center of the Crossroads." (V) - What a wonderful last puzzle!

    So, many moments in Voodoomaster's videos are in there, too.

    Sorry, I had to bring this back for a reason. Nice videos of the top 15 best moments. And I think I noticed something:

    Chapter 1: #14 and #8
    Chapter 2: #13 and #12
    Chapter 3: #15, #12 and #10
    Chapter 4: #11, #9, #6, #4 and #2
    Chapter 5: #7, #5, #3 and #1

    Also liked how you kept intact the "Unholy THIS!" quotes in Moment #8 (Guybrush) and Moment #2 (LeChuck)! Sweet! ;)
