best scene ever

i cant narrow mine down just yet...

but, i was in best buy today and they had jurrasic park playing on a big HD plasma, and it was the scene in the rain when power is out and we see the t-rex for the first time attacking the cars...

it had a crowd, that kept growing, it was pretty cool to see people just stop and watch. they couldnt help it.
 
The scene at the near-end of "Gattaca" where Ethan Hawke's character challenges his older brother to see for the last time who can swim farther out to sea...and then ends up hauling him back to shore. Awesome, awesome climax.

Also...the scene in "The Mission" where the Indians, led by Jeremy Irons' priest character, are gunned down by the Spanish.

And skinnyboy...that scene is one of my favorites too. Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson are freaking awesome. :)
 
I love the scene where they hook Charlie Chaplin up to the feeding machine in "Modern Times".

I also like the scene where "Ratso" is making dinner for "Joe Buck" in Ratso's abandoned building home. Midnight Cowboy.

Any scene where the "Italian Stallion" is in his apartment, whether it be with "Adrian" or "Micky" or especially by himself. Rocky 1

"Big Daddy" talking some sense into his son "Brick" in the rain storm. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

I've got a ton of scenes I really like and most of them evoke some type of emotion in me.
 
Simply The Best Scene Ever...

Rick: Last night, we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well, I've done a lot of it since then and it all adds up to one thing. You're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.
Ilsa: But Richard, no, I've...
Rick: Now, you've got to listen to me. Do you have any idea what you've have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten we'd both wind up in a concentration camp. Isn't that true, Louis?
Renault: I'm afraid Major Strauss would insist.
Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.
Rick: I'm saying it because it's true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going.

Rick: If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it.
Ilsa: No.
Rick: Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.
Ilsa: What about us?
Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have - we'd - we'd lost it until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.
Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you...
Rick: And you never will. I've got a job to do too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that.

Rick: Now, now. Here's looking at you, kid.

one of my favourites has to be the Donnie Darko introduction of the main characters in the school hall. the camera is panning and spinning while all the characters are going about their morning before class. it's beautifully shot and better appreciated watching it the second time around after you have seen the movie to the end.
 
Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon making love in Tony Scott's 1983 version of The Hunger. Plus, Susan Sarandon's comment about her sapphic love scene on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, "Who wouldn't want to go to bed with Catherine Deneuve?"

and my number 1 - Arnie kits up in Commando... and the scenes that follow:thumbsup:
 
Surprised No one Has Mentioned 'CRASH' By far my favorite movie of the past year(Props to the Canadian Director) Every Scene in that Movie is amazing, Acting, cinematorgraphy, Soundtrack....Love it, the way he sets up for the scenes in the 3rd act.
THE scene where the cop has to rescue the lady from the car accident, and the Store owner shooting the little girl...those 2 are amazing scenes, CAN YOU SAY POWERFUL....
..as you can see i enjoy this movie....
 
Or the other Crash, directed by David Cronenberg in 1996, where half-naked stars, Holly Hunter, Rosanna Arquette crash cars and have sex in them.
 
Dang, how do you pick just one?

Almost any scene in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but the opening is great for how it immediately establishes those two characters as individuals and their relationship to each other. Also, the scene where Etta Place comes home from the schoolhouse to find Sundance in her living room...

In Psycho, the scene where the state trooper wakes Janet Leigh up in her car. Basically, any scene in that movie, but that shot of the cop in his sunglasses as she sees him through the window -- classic.

In a more recent film... the final scene in Lost in Translation. Everytime I see it, I change my mind about what Bill Murray says to Scarlett Johanssen -- it seems you project you own ending on it depending on your state of mind when you see it, and that's just genius.
 
Just cause I re-watched it recently and it stuck...

Reservoir Dogs:

Opening diner scene and the "Stuck in the middle with you" scene!

AWESOME!

just the same... I love it
 
My favorite is probably Ikiru when the old man is swinging in the Swing Set at the end....

I really like the Dancing Midget in the Red Room in Twin Peaks as well... But that's television...
 
Braveheart, when Mel Gibson screams and lifts his sword after the battle. Also, when he is betrayed after a battle by Robert the Bruce.

i was going to put that too... i like all of Tarantino's stuff.... I like the scene in Pulp Fiction where they're talking about the quarter pounder with cheese in france. plus the dance scene with uma and travolta... tarantino is the man (after spielberg of course).
