best scene ever

Seriously.

This Episode IV: A New Hope poo poo doesn't
fly for me either. Star Wars is, and always
shall be simply that...Star Wars.

the rape scene at the end of piano teacher... maybe not the best, but the most powerful one that comes to mind.

Here are a few more scenes that came to mind:

Planet of the Apes: Taylor getting chase through the village, caught, and uttering the classic "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes!"

Jaws: The story of the Indianoplis

The Thing: Testing the blood and the spider head

Karate Kid: In the backyard at night "Show me, sand the floor."

Witness: The dance in the barn.

what about in the first matrix when neo dodges those bullets and they show it in "bullet time" i think that's a pretty cool scene...
 
The last scene in Munich. Numerous scenes in City of God. The Like a Virgin Scene in Resevoir Dogs. Royale with Cheese in Pulp Fiction. The bar shootout in Desparado...
 
Something truly magical about certain scenes. A magical scene is not neccsarrily a thrill for me, but a scene that just brings me into the world. These scenes come to mind. In no particular order ...

Aliens

She picks up Vasquez' scanner and aims it the same
direction as Hudson's.

HUDSON
Twelve meters. Man, this is a big
poo pooing signal. Ten meters.

RIPLEY
They're right on us. Vasquez,
how you doing?

Vasquez is heedlessly showering herself with molten metal
as she welds the door shut. Working like a demon.

HUDSON
Nine meters. Eight.

RIPLEY
Can't be. That's inside the room!

HUDSON
It's readin' right. Look!

Ripley fiddles with her tracker, adjusting the tuning.

HICKS
Well you're not reading it right!

HUDSON
Six meters. Five. What the fu --

He looks at Ripley. It dawns on both of them at the same
time. She feels a cold premonitory dread as she angles
her tracker upward to the ceiling, almost overhead. The
tone gets louder.

Hicks climbs onto a file cabinet and raises a panel of
acoustic drop-ceiling. He shines his light inside.

HICKS' P.O.V. 151

A soul-wrenching nightmare image. Moving in the beam of
light are aliens. Lots of aliens. They are crawling
like bats, upside down, clinging to the pipes and beams
of the structural ceiling, not touching the flimsy
acoustic panels. They glisten hideously as they claw
their way forward in silence. They cover the ceiling
of the operations room. The inner sanctum is utterly
violated.

Titanic

FLEET​

Cor... look at that, would ya.

LEE

They're a bloody sight warmer than we are.

FLEET

Well if that's what it takes for us two to get warm, I'd rather not, if
it's all the same.

They both have a good laugh at that one. It is Fleet whose expression falls
first. Glancing forward again, he does a double take. The color drains out
of his face.

FLEET'S POV: a massive iceberg right in their path, 500 yards out.

FLEET

Bugger me!!

Fleet reaches past Lee and rings the lookout bell three times, then grabs
the telephone, calling the bridge. He waits precious seconds for it to be
picket up, never taking his eyes off the black mass ahead.

FLEET

Pick up, ya bastard.

CUT TO:

131 INT. / EXT. BRIDGE

Inside the enclosed wheelhous, SIXTH OFFICER MOODY walks unhurriedly to the
telephone, picking it up.

FLEET (V.O.)

Is someone there?

MOODY

Yes. What do you see?

FLEET

Iceberg right ahead!

Goodfellas​

HENRY
Funny. You're really funny.​

TOMMY
What do you mean?

HENRY
It's funny, you know.
It's a good story.
You're a funny guy.

TOMMY
You mean the way I talk? What?

HENRY​
It's just, you know. You're just funny.

HENRY
You know, the way you tell the story.

TOMMY
Funny how? What's funny about it?

VINNIE
You got it all wrong.

TOMMY
He's a big boy. He knows
what he said. Funny, how?

HENRY
Just, you know. You're funny.

TOMMY
Let me understand this.
Maybe I'm a little poo pooed up.
But I'm funny how? Funny
like a clown? I amuse you?
I'm here to poo pooing amuse you?
What do you mean, funny?
How am I funny?

HENRY
You know, how you tell a story.

TOMMY
I don't know. You said it.
You said I'm funny.
How am I funny? What the
poo poo is so funny about me?
Tell me what's funny.

HENRY
Get the poo poo out of here, Tommy!

TOMMY

Motherpoo pooer! I almost had him!

Schindler's List​

Again the rabbi works feverishly -- cutting, crimping, ​
sanding, hearing the seconds ticking in his head -- and
finishing in thirty-five. Goeth nods, impressed.

GOETH
That's very good. What I don't
understand, though, is -- you've
been working since what, about six
this morning? Yet such a small pile
of hinges?

He understands perfectly. So does Levartov; he has just
crafted his own death in exactly 75 seconds. Goeth stands
him against the workshop wall and adjusts his shoulders. He
pulls out his pistol, puts it to the rabbi's head and pulls
the trigger... click.

GOETH
(mumble)
Christ --

Annoyed, Goeth extracts the bullet-magazine, slaps it back
in and puts the barrel back to the man's head. He pulls the
trigger again... and again there's a click.

GOETH
God damn it --

He slams the weapon across Levartov's face and the rabbi
slumps dazed to the floor. Looking up into Goeth's face, he
knows it's not over. As Goeth walks away --

The SHining

M.C.S. Sheets of paper filling box. WENDY's hand enters​
cam.L.f.g. She flicks through sheets of paper and sees they
are all filled with repetition of line: "ALL WORK AND NO
PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY."

The Untouchables​

The Train Station stairwell sequence.​

Pulp Fiction​

The hyperdermic needle and the shot of adrenalin !​

MED. CLOSE VIEW​

Michael and Fredo in an embrace; they kiss one another.

MICHAEL
I've arranged for a plane; we're
going to Miami in an hour. Try not
to make a big thing of it.

He kisses his brother once again.

MICHAEL
(Sicilian)
I know it was you, Fredo. You've
broken my heart.

Slowly, understanding, Fredo backs away from his brother,
taking the kiss another way.


JAWS​

BRODY
You're going to need a bigger boat.​

Tombstone​

CURLY BILL​
Wyatt Earp, huh? I heard of you.

IKE
Listen, Mr. Kansas Law-dog. Law
Don't go around her. Savvy?

WYATT
I'm retired.

CURLY BILL
Good. That's real good.

IKE
Yeah, that's good, Mr. Law-dog,
'cause law don't go around here.

WYATT
I heard you the first time.

CURLY BILL
Shut up, Ike.

RINGO
(steps up to Doc)
And you must be Doc Holliday.

DOC
That's the rumor.

RINGO
You retired, too?

DOC
Not me. I'm in my prime.

RINGO
Yeah, you look it.

DOC
And you must be Ringo. Look,
Darling, Johnny Ringo. The
Deadliest pistoleer since Wild
Bill, they say. What do you
Think, darling? Should I hate him?

KATE
You don't even know him.

DOC
Yes, but there's just something
About him. Something around
The eyes, I don't know, reminds me
Of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I
Hate him.

WYATT
(to Ringo)
He's drunk.

DOC
In vino veritas.

RINGO
Age quod agis.

DOC
Credat Judaeus Apella.

RINGO
(pats gun)
Ecentus stultorum magister.

DOC
(Cheshire cat smile)
In pace requiescat.

WHITE
(enters, appeasing)
Come on now. We don't want any
Trouble in here. Not in any language.

DOC
Evidently Mr. Ringo's an educated
Man. Now I really hate him.

Ringo looks at Doc, holding his gaze while suddenly whipping
out his .45. Everyone but Doc flinches. Ringo does a
dazzling series of twirls and tricks, his nickel-plated pistol
flashing like a blaze of silver fire, finally slapping it back
into his holster with a flourish. Cheers and hoots. Doc
rolls his eyes, hooks a finger through the handle of his
silver cup, then launches into an exact duplication of Ringo's
routine using a cup instead of a gun. The room bursts into
laughter.


The Thing​

THE MEN​

weapons in hand, huddle at the main doorway. They unbolt it.
Sleet and hail send Nauls rolling in from the outside. The
men force the door back and lock it.

The weary Nauls kneels on the floor and gasps for air.

The others surround him.

PALMER
Where's MacReady?

Nauls weighs each of them ominously, while digging down
underneath his heavy jacket.

NAULS
Cut him loose of the line up by his
shack.

CHILDS
Cut him loose?

NAULS
When we were up poking around his
place... I found this...

He pulls out a thick bundle of heavy clothing. It is mutilated
and partially burned. He holds out the jacket to show the
inside collar.

Close on name tag -- it reads: R.J. MACREADY The men, as
they examine in a hush.

NAULS
...It was stashed in his old coal
furnace... wind must have dislodged
it... I don't think he saw me find
it.

The men continue to examine in various states of disbelief.

NAULS
...Made sure I got ahead of him on
the towline on the way back... cut
him loose.

SANCHEZ
(incredulous)
MacReady...?

NAULS
He's one of them.

SANCHEZ
(scared)
When do you think it got to him?

PALMER
Could have been anytime. Anywhere.

CHILDS
(to Nauls, suspicious)
If it did get to him.

NAULS
Look, man...

PALMER
When the lights went out...

NORRIS
Would have been a perfect time...

PALMER
Right. Garry was missing...
(pointedly)
...And Sanchez...

SANCHEZ
(goes for him)
poo poo you, Palmer.

Childs and Norris separate them.

NORRIS
This is just what it wants... to pit
us against each other.

A pounding at the door sends the men jerking backward.

Nauls scampers to his feet. They tense.


PALMER
Let's open it.

CHILDS
Hell no.

More pounding.

SANCHEZ
(shaking)
You think he's changed into one of
those Things?

NORRIS
He hasn't had enough time.

CHILDS
...Nothing human could have made it
back here in this weather without a
guideline...

PALMER
Let's open it. Now...

CHILDS
(edgy, hostile)
Why you so damn anxious to let him
in here...

PALMER
(slightly trembling)
He's so close. Maybe our best chance
to blow him away.

CHILDS
No. Just let him freeze out there.

SANCHEZ
(voice cracking)
What if we're wrong about him?

CHILDS
Then we're wrong.


The Road Warrior​

When MAX spills the tanker truck and we see sand pouring out of it.​
 
Wow, JH, if you put all of those together, and then top it off with this:

You really would have the best scene ever! :)
 
Hudson,

That scene from The Thing is epic. There are a few more in that flick that could be up there, too.
