Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out to be the coolest. Last night a good friend pointed the way to the newly launched MOVIECLIPS.  The premise couldn’t be simpler.  People love movies and everyone has favorite scenes from their favorite movies.  But up until now, finding your favorite clips online wasn’t easy… or even legal in most cases.  MOVIECLIPS eliminates all of that complexity by partnering directly with the Hollywood studios to put your favorite clips online.

But what’s really cool is that their team has posted over 12,000 movie clips and made them completely searchable by actor, title, genre, occasion, action, mood, character, theme, setting, prop, and even dialogue.  The process couldn’t be easier and they even included a “buy it now” link in case you find a favorite that you had forgotten about.

So which clips are your favorites?  Embedded below is one of mine, the infamous “Bob Barker vs. Happy Gilmore” scene:

And here are a few of my other favorites that aren’t as appropriate for embedding:

• Spaceballs – Surrounded by A**holes
• The Princess Bride – Battle of Wits
• Half Baked – Scarface Quits His Job
