Favourite movie SCENE
 

A lot of us have favourite movies, characters and indeed actors.

I've been thinking lately of what fellow board members would consider their favourite movie scenes.

Two of my favourites:

GodFather II - de Niro (as Vito Corleone) kills the "Big Boss" in New York during a festival. The towel catching fire due to the gun-blast was a nice touch.

Withnail and I - Withnail, Marwood and Danny in the rat infested flat smoking huge joints.


Mr Mephisto

Birth of the Nation - when the two old family friends now wearing Blue and Grey uniforms meet in battle when one of them leads the charge on the other's line and they literally fall on each other.

The Maltese Falcon - the scene where Sam Spade is drugged and the camera takes the entire five minutes covering most of the apartment in a single take without any editing or cuts at all

Citizen Kane - the groundbreaking fades and small things like transitioning/zooming through the skylight smoothly to focus on the table far below.

Fight Club-The Human sacrifice, Raymond H. Kessel(I think thats how it was spelled.)
Se7en-The final scene
The Matrix-When Neo Saves Trinity from the Helicopter.
Lord of The Rings-The scene when Gandalf fights the Balrog at the bridge.

Those are just a few off the top of my head that I always loved.

Requiem For A Dream - Ass to Ass :p

Pulp Fiction - Samuel L. Jackson reciting ezekiel 25:17

Field of Dreams - The end when Ray plays catch with his dad.

Dragons Forever: The scene where Yuen Bao comes home and notices someone in his house. He climbs in from the roof. He sees someone stumbling around in the dark. He attacks them. The guy keeps struggling not to get cut up whilst repeatidly yelling "its me Johnny". This goes on for a while until Johnny (jackie Chan) opens the fridge door so Yuen can see his face. They then turn on the light and Yuen starts spouting all this philsphical crap whilst Jackie has to ask him like a million times the same question. It is one of the best scenes ever.

The other one is in Hercules Returns where Herses and Machismo are facing off. Machismo says "I'll fight you on one condition. You lower your nipples". Herses does it and they fight. Hillarious

The Matrix Neo vs Morpheus (Dojo scene).
Army of Darkness Ash jumps up to his chainsaw and it locks in.
Those are some good watchin'.

Gone With the Wind- when Scarlett runs towards Tara in the darkness, unsure if its been burned by the Yankees...and the clouds shift, and she sees its still standing.

or

The Silence of the Lambs- the scene in Tennessee where Dr. Lecter is being held in that cell in the middle of a big room...and Dr. Chilton comes in, dragging Clarice away. Dr. Lecter hands her the case file and strokes her finger with his. Gives me chills every time.

Apocalypse Now - Brando’s talk with Martin Sheen about the reasons for his madness - his story about the inoculations in the village. Basically anything with Brando.

Hardboiled... opening scene in the Jazz club.

with a quick ponder, il go for these...

monty python holy grail - black knight scene

reservoir dogs ~ mr blonde with his groovy dancing

Scarface: the final scene in the mansion. Snorting coke, people dead, large-caliber machine guns, is there anything better?

Swordfish--The explosion seen at the beginning of the movie when the girl was "rescued" from the hostages. Fantastic 360degree explosion.

Agree with SabrinaFair on "Silence of the Lambs"

A couple more:
Goodfellas with Joe Pesci questioning I amuse you

True Romance With Dennis Hoppers character answering to Christopher Walkin

Caddyshack, Bill Murray and Chevy Chase in the assistant grounds keeper quarters

All of Friday....

Monty Pyhon, Holy Grail. THe Sir Robin scene with the "Brave brave Sir Robin" song !

have to add:
Casablanca - at the end where they exchange those looks and then the police chief says that immortal line "Round up the usual suspects"

trying to thinkof newer films but my overall preference tends to be in the 1900-1950 range.
Although the end of Dumb and Dumber is so incredibly fucked up and yet so funny (seem to recall reading/hearing that the filmed ending was actually a Jim Carey adlib)

Platoon - Dafoe shot and left for dead, staggers out of the jungle as the helicopter passes overhead, falling to his knees and reaching up. the look between Sheen and Berenger to top it off.

2001: opening and final scenes
Deer Hunter: final russian-roulette scene and the closing "god bless america" scene
Godfather: murder in the restaurant

1.Godfather trilogy: The climaxes when the Corleones kill all their enemies.
2.Blade: opening club scene.
3.Dune: when paul blows up the obelisk with the weirding module.
4.Bram Stokers Dracula: Entire opening scene before title.

no doubt best ever :) say hello to my lil friend!

American Pyscho, the initial monologue... is one of them...

agreed, that scenes brilliant... i also love the single shot of the Tennessee cops bursting in on the cell...

i also think that the Bamboo Fight Scene in Crouching Tiger was fantastic.

1. In Dune, when Maud'Dib kills Feyd-Rautha at the end.
Paul's all worked up, he looks down at Feyds' body and screams at it, which causes the body to expand and burst, and the ground to heave up and crack the marble floor.
Then Alia says, "And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderack!".

Always sends a chill up my spine. :cool:

2. Another of my favorite movie scenes is in "The Bone Collector", with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
It's when Lincoln Rhyme is laying in bed, apparently asleep, and Amelia Donaghy(in the book, Amelia Sachs) walks over to the bed, and starts slowly rubbing his non-paralyzed finger.
Lincoln opens his eyes and teases her, saying what she's doing might be illegal, or something like that.
The scene is very sensuous, imo.

The whole scene at the end of that movie is superb. When Captain Renault orders his lieutennant to "Round up the usual suspects" (after Major Strasser is shot by Rick) is followed by the eponymous "Louis, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship."

Great movie. Another line in the same scene is the classic "If you don't get on that plane now you will regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon, and for the rest of your life" uttered by Rick to his old flame Ilsa Lund.

Call me an old fogey, but this is probably my favourite movie of all time.

Mr Mephisto

Since my favorite scenes have already been said (end of Casablanca, Dafoe in Platoon) here's some of my others.

Wesley vs Inigo Mantoya in Princess Bride. My favorite sword fighting scene ever.

Also Inigo meeting the six fingered man (containing my favorite quote "My name is Inigo Mantoya. You killed my father. Prepair to die.")

Empire Strikes Back - Vader reveals he is Luke's father.

The final scene of Clockwork Orange in the hospital.

Helms Deep - LOTR The Two Towers

The Ring--The last killing in the film. If you've seen it, you know what I mean, and if you haven't, the I'm not giving it away, just go rent that movie NOW.

I second the nomination of the bamboo fight in Crouching Tiger.

The polluted river spirit scene in Spirited Away. Also the scene on the train.

The hotel room scene in Fight Club, when the other shoe falls. I remember sitting on my couch going, "Oh, shit!"

Man, too many to even think of....

It's already been mentioned, but I think the dialogue in True Romance between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken is the most amazing scene ever. Two old pros doing what they do best...

I love that movie :)

It's one of my favorites as well. A classic.

Apocalypse Now - All the Heuys coming in with the sun behind them and the classic "dum dum dum dum dum dum!" music blaring in the background

Annie Hall - The part where Alvy and Annie are talking on the balcony and it shows what they are thinking in subtitles while they speak. Classic stuff.

Alien - Spagetti. Joke. Chest burster. Need I say more?

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - the final stand off scene where they are in the circle in the middle of the cemetery. Very epic.

The Bridge on the River Kwai - The final big scene.

We talked to some nieghbors...they saw a cadillac, a purple cadillac...CLARENce's purple cadillac...

I ask you again...

That is indeed one of the greatest ever.

I also really enjoyed the 'graduation scene' of Bill Murray and the gang in Stripes.

Boom chugga lugga lugga boom chugga lugga lugga chugga lugga lugga BOOM....

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - "The Black Knight always triumphs!"

And the 'Poo splatter' scene in Trainspotting

********SPOILER*********












Meet Joe Black, when brad pitt gets killed when crossing the street, Laughed so hard as the guy was bounced from car to car coming from different directions.

Goodfellas - When Ray Liotta's girl comes home with a black eye, he marches accross the street and pistol whips the shit out of that guy after being asked "what do you want, fucko?"

One of my favorite scenes in a movie is from Léon, otherwise known as The Professional. The scene where the SWAT team has been taken out by Léon (Jean Reno). Agent Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) looks to one of his mean and tells him "Bring me everyone." Stansfield's man looks at him and ask "What do you mean everyone?" Agent Norman Stansfield looks at him and yells "EVERYONE!" And the theme music begins to play. Gives me the chills watching that part. I have the cd and love listening to that theme music. Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors. The man definately gets into character.

The Raymond K. Hessel scene from Fight Club. My mouth was hanging open the first time I saw it.

That would be Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner.

:)

Mr Mephisto

oh yes, thats one hell of a scene.
so intense.

and yes again - although i´ve got to say the Withnail driving scene is my fav in that great flick (¨i´m making time!¨)...

and i should also add seeing the Fanny Ardant and Catherine Deneuve singing in 8 Femmes is another fav.

so is the Juliette Binoche love scene in The English Patient... those candles in the little shells - leading to him - now that was good...

I thought of another scene.
The one in PCU where the guys from the Pit are throwing raw meat down on the vegetarian rally.
Pretty funny. ;)

one of my favourite scenes in any film is in he got game, at the beggining where there's a montage of basketball coaches talking to jesus, all saying this is the biggest decision of your life

Sudden Impact, the diner scene, where Clint is talking to the robbers, "so, you're thinking, did he fire 5 shots or 6, well you have to ask yourself, do I feel lucky, well do you punk?" That is great!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Do I have to pick just one?
Caddy Shack - Too many to mention
Groundhog Day, when he finally gets it right
Patton - the scene in Africa when goes out and shoots at the airplanes, plus many many more...

1. Opening scene for Star Wars
classic
gives me shivers everytime.
god, I'm dating myself.

2. Blazing Saddles - too many to mention " 'cuse me while I whip this out"

3.
BTW..."The sleeper must awaken"

4. Highlander, the fight between the Kargan and Ramirez
"There can be only one"

5. Sixteen Candles - too many to mention - "JAKE!!"

Full Metal Jacket, the "what's your major malfunction" part in the bathroom when Joker has that rifle.

I like when Marlon Brando in "Godfather" says "you can be a man!" and slaps that guy.

Um, from my childhood I loved that part in "Little Shop of Horrors" when the plant says something like "oh shit" before exploding. My dad also likes to tell the story of how he and his girlfriend were outside the house and looked into the window to see me and my brothers watching the part in "Omega Man" where Charlton Heston gets speared in the fountain, rewinding and watching again and again and again.

the final scene in 13 Rue Madeleine where the Nazis are trying to break him and James Cagney just looks up laughs right before the building is obliterated by waves of Allied bombers is powerful and definitely belongs on that list for me.

Trying to come up with a few that haven't been said.

Not a movie, but in Band of Brothers when they found the concentration camp, my heart just sunk.

Blues Brothers - Car chase through the mall

Goonies - Deleted octopus scene... (Nah, I'm just kidding about that)

Mulholland Drive - At Club Silencio

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - The whole movie is great, but the end gets me everytime. I also really like the scene where McMurphy takes them all out fishing.

the scene with the guy that is building a boat on a rooftop in "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai"

Jeez, a lot of movies mentioned here that I've never watched - I'm looking forward to watching a few mentioned in this thread!

A couple come to mind:

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory scene when Charlie gives back the everlasting gobstopper.

Star Wars scene Luke looking over the devistated remains of his aunt and uncle's home and says "There's nothing here for me now."

Apollo 13 splashdown scene.

Bladerunner "time to die" scene. Not expecting it to happan this way, really made the movie.

Probably my favorite: the Jesus rolling a frame in The Big Lebowski. At one point the camera pans across Lebowski, Walter, and Donny. Pure genious.

This is sooo hard I know I'm leaving too many out.

Yes! Or the part when he's driving, and he goes to throw his joint roach out the window, but the window isn't rolled down so it bounces back at him, then he screams and tries to put it out by pouring his beer onto the car seat. That movie is great. Or that black taxi cab driver who is listening to the Eagles and kicks The Dude of his cab because he says "I've just had a really bad day, and I hate the fucking Eagles."

Maybe you already knew this, but isn't funny how, for a movie set largely in a bowling alley, the main character is never seen bowling once? I love that movie.

Pulp Fiction - When they shoot the guy in the head in the car.. classic.

^ Aw man, i shot marvin in the face.

-Vincent

I'd have to say in Sudden Impact when Harry (played by Clint Eastwood) walks in on a bar hold-up. The four black guys that held up the bar look at him, and Harry says: "We're not going to let you just walk out of here." Then one of the black robbers asks who "we" is with an attitude. Harry responds with "Smith....and Wesson...and me."

-Lasereth

History of the world part 1, most of this movie could fall in here. The piss boy scene is exceptionally funny.

YES. and since someone mentioned monty python, the scene from holy grail when arguing about the swallow.
and how the french guy has already a holy crusade and doesn't need another.
and when one of the knights, i forget which, is in that castle looking for the grail and had all those girls and when he's taken out he begs the other knight for "can't i have just a little bit of peril?"

also, any scene in any war movie when air support comes in to save the day...we were soldiers comes to mind, among others.

as stated before, Defoe scene in Platoon was excellent.

Pulp Fiction - The scene where Butch saves Marsellus Wallace from the cop and the shop owner.

Full Metal Jacket - scenes where drill instructor Hartman chews out the new recruits.

Apocalypse Now - the air cav raid on the village with Wagner's "The Ride Of The Valkyries" blasting from the speakers.

Monty Python's Holy Grail - the scene where Sir Gallahad storms the castle and slaughters the wedding reception.
Also, the scene where an old historian guy is standing in the park making a commentary....then gets his throat slit by a knight on a horse.

Glenngary glenross: the baldwin brass balls speech.

Raiders of the lost ark: the fight at the airplane.

Jet Li kicking ass in the japanese dojo in "Fist of Legend."

I always like the part in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when they go to fight the monster and then one guy thinks its ok and gets killed.

How great is the bar fight scene in Desperado?

The end scene in Braveheart when he refuses to beg when being tortured always brings a tear to my eye. He is in massive pain and he is at peace when he looks at the childs innosence and then sees his true love. God thats powerful.

The cat scene in The Boondock Saints

Lobby Shootout in The Matrix

Liqour Store scene in SLC Punk

Pirates of the Caribbean when, JohnnyD and Legolas walk underwater inside the overturned boat onto the Dauntless. The Interceptor goes to reclaim the ship and the two steal, I mean commandeer, the Interceptor instead.
"That has go to be the best pirate I've ever seen."

singing in the rain, gene kelly dancing in the rain, always leaves me feeling so ........um......cheerful ?.....hopeful ?

the suicide scene in "Royal Tenenbaums", or "El Tango de Roxanne" in "Moulin Rouge", both are totally stunning

Ohh, this is a good one. Get ready for a big list Spoilers included

187 - Russian Ruelette scene, Sam Jackson doing what he does best.

Pulp Fiction - Pretty much the whole movie, but if I were to pick ONE scene, probably when Vincent shoots the guy in the head in the car. The only time that I've had to stop and rewind the movie I was watching so I could stop laughing.

Scarface - Again, the whole movie, but if I had to pick one scene is when the guy is on his hands and knees begging for his life after he tried to kill Tony "Please Tony! Don't kill me!" "I'm not gonna kill you" "Oh thank you! Thank you!" "Manny, shoot this piece of shit!" (Hey! It's on USA right now as I type, haha, love this scene)

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut - "Wwwellllll, Kyle's mom is bitch she's a big fat bitch she's the biggest bitch in the whole wide world..."

Donnie Darko - The scene where the motivational speaker (Jim Cunningham) is at the high school.

Jim Cunningham: Son... DO YOU SEE THIS? This is an Anger Prisoner. A textbook example. DO YOU SEE THE FEAR, PEOPLE? This boy is scared to death of the truth. Son, it breaks my heart to say this, but I believe you are a very troubled and confused young man. I believe you are searching for the answers in all the wrong places...
Donnie: You're right, actually. I am pretty- I'm, I'm pretty troubled and I'm, I'm pretty confused. But I. . .and I'm afraid. Really, really afraid. Really afraid. But I... I . . . I think you're the fucking Antichrist.

The Godfather - The first half hour

The Godfather Part II - Has to be one of the best scenes in movie history:

[Vito returns years later to Sicily and meets Don Francesco Ciccio, the man who murdered Vito's family]
Don Francesco Ciccio: I see you took the name of the town. What was it before?
Vito Corleone: Andolini.
Don Francesco Ciccio: You'll have to speak up.
Vito Corleone: Andolini... and this is for you.
[stabs him]

And finally, my absolute favorite

Saving Private Ryan - The D-Day landing, or the first half hour. One of the most elaborate scenes in movie history, very well done, and very memorable, which is why it's my favorite.

Another vote for Scarface when he buries his face in the mountain of coke and all the big guns. Such a great movie/scene

Oh, and I'd have to say the scene that took me offguard and shocked me the most was the end of American History X in the bathroom. Not too many movies have made my mouth drop like that.

You guys are forgetting possibly one of the best shootouts ever filmed:

<b><i>Heat</i></b>

Chasing Amy:
Banky: Which one of them gets the $100 bill?
Holden: The man hating dyke.
Banky: Why?
Holden: I dunno.
Banky: BECAUSE THE OTHER 3 ARE FIGMENTS OF YOUR FUCKING IMAGINATION!

Boondock Saints:
"There was a firefight." Dafoe is amazing in that sequence.

Blair Witch Project:
The last minute and a half of the movie in the house.

Shawshank Redemption:
"Hope is a good thing... maybe the best of things..."

Gladiator:
Maximus vs the 8 or so gladiators he kills singlehandedly.

Ohhh, that's a good one. I can't believe I didn't think of that.

Here are a few more based on cheese and comedy:

Batman ('66) - "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb!"
This is Spinal Tap - "These go to eleven."

Shit, where to begin ? There's so many.

I saw Scarface for the first time yesterday though, so for the moment the scene burned into my mind is the one where the M4A1-wielding Tony Montana just won't die. Well, until his chest gets blown out wih a shotgun, of course.

Love this movie, I'm watching it again tonight :p

<STRONG>Lawrence of Arabia</STRONG> when the corporal puts out the match with his fingertips as Lawrence just did and burns himself.

Corporal: "Ooh, It bloody well hurts."

Lawrence: "Certainly it hurts."

Corporal: "Well whats the trick then?"

Lawrence: "The trick William Potter is not Minding that it hurts."

The scene on the lake in "Hero".

i agree with alot in this thread so far
since i dont see it yet how bout quint's speech about the indianapolis in JAWS

Almost all of my favorites have been mentioned. Here's a couple more

Sexy Beast: When Don Logan (Ben Kingsley) describes the job that he wants Gale (Ray Winstone) to do. Great editing.

Lost Highway: When a very blond, very hot, Patricia Arquette walks up in slo-mo to Lou Reed's version of "This Magic Moment." Gives me chills.

Heat: De Niro and Pacino having coffee. What are the odds? Great dialogue.

Scent of a Woman: Pacino flying down the road in a ferrari, completely blind.

"Charlie don't blame me, I'm fucking blind!"

"I think I got another gear here!"

Hilarious

Eddie Scissorhands: Making the ice sculptures in his castle.

Scrooged: Bill Murray in the restaurant with his hallucinations. One of Bill Murray's best, and one of Christmas' best.

The Royal Tenenbaums: Intro scene. I like how they flood you with strange information and images about each character.

That's enough for now, there's too many to mention!

In "Roxanne", in the bar, the "20 Something Better" scene.
Frickin' hilarious!

ooh, just thought of "The Man with Two Brains"
that great drunk driving test, and a few other scenes come to mind.

The I knew it was you fredo scene in The Godfather Part II.

Haha yea, thats a great scene
Also..

The whole bank robbery scene was beautiful. Hell, the whole movie was beautiful!

The Jay and Silent Bob movie when they are at the moobie fastfood restaurant on the internet terminal deal. "We're gonna fuck your mothers.. etc.."

<b>Matrix Reloaded</b> - When he is Fighting All The Agent Smiths, badass

<b>Swordfish</b> - The beginning explosion with the 360 degree bullettime shot, definetly badass

<b>Reservoir Dogs</b> - When Mr. Pink is runnin from the cops, pulls the lady out of the car and unloads on the cops, seriously

<b>Bourne Identity</b> - When the other agent guy breaks through the glass, and Matt Damon and that guy fight hand to hand, one of the best fight scenes i think

<b>Heat</b> - The best street shootout ever, hands down

<b>X-Men 2</b> - The beginning scene with Nightcrawler goin through the white house, omg, tight

<b>Scarface</b> - The ending mansion scene, its like one of the most recognizable scenes, along with the chainsaw scene, i had to mention it!

<b>Predator 2</b> - Old ass movie with danny glover, the beginning scene with the shootout between the cops and the jamaican gang, so freakin brutal

<b>Casino</b> - At the ending scene when Pesci has to watch his brother get brutally beaten, then he himself gets beaten almos to death, then get thrown in the hole and buried alive with like 10 thousand broken bones, thats like one of the most brutal thing ive seen in a movie

<b>Pulp Fiction</b> - This is my favorite scene of all time, they are in the restaraunt, and Tim Roth and his gf rob the restaraunt, that whole scene with Samuel L Jackson talking about ezekiel 25:17 ( i think thats it ) freakin intense.

Blues Brothers: The restaurant scene. "How much for the women? Your wife, your daughter, the little girl. I want to buy them."

Animal House: John Belushi is on the ladder looking through the windows of the sorority house. He turns to the camera and raises his eyebrows. Priceless.

Super Troopers: Every scene with Farva. Also the syrup chugging scene.

The Transporter: The opening car chase.

Goldmember: Mini me humping Beyonce's leg.

Zoolander: "What is this? A city for ants?"

**POSSIBLE SPOILER**

well, having just seen Kill Bill... i´ve got to say that almost every scene in Tokyo was incredible.

especially the O-Ren / Black Mamba fight scene in the snow... Japanese with Latin Music - awesome...

Animal House: "They took the BAR! The whole fucking BAR!"

the last scene in SCARFACE!!!! CLASSIC moments.

YES!!!!!!! One of the best....EVER!

Psycho, when Norman swings that shovel and then that twang as it hits

Okay that's it. I'm just gonna say it. The Raymond K. Hessel scene on fight club. That is my favorite scene of all time in my favorite movie of all time. I love watching that over and over and over again.

Maybe not one of my favorites, but made me laugh pretty hard, in the South Park movie, when Terrance & Philip are on Conan O'Brien. Brooke Shields is also a guest, and says "one time I farted on the set of Blue Lagoon." There is a few seconds of silence, then either Terrance or Philip slaps her across the face.
"Raging Bull" when DeNiro's wife is sick of him always accusing her of cheating on him, so she says she sucked DeNiro's brother (Joe Pesci)'s dick. He gets pissed off and goes to his brother's house, where his brother is eating with his family, and kicks his ass.

the shadow fight in kill bill

25th Hour "Fuck you" Rant. I dont why, but I just love it.

Ronin - The chase scenes just blew my mind

Apocalypse Now, Saving Private Ryan and HEAT get my props for the greatest scenes EVER! Also Pulp Fiction kicked ass, I never expected the cop and the shopkeeper, to... well you know ;)

Oh yeah, what is the Raymond K. Hessel scene?

Yeah, the Heat shootout ranks up there in my favorites.

I also like the torture scene from Braveheart, the whole last half of The Matrix, the freeway chase from the Matrix Reloaded, and several scenes in The Pianist--when he jumps the wall to see a decimated Warsaw or when he plays for the German.

The final shootout in The Good , The Bad, and The Ugly

absolutely cool- and a classic

The opening scene in the Rundown when the Rock beat up the whole offensive lineman in the club.

Shawshank Redemption: When Andy makes his escape, tears his shirt off, looks up in the sky, and cries in joy as rain falls on him.

Apollo 13: the "Failure is not an option" pep talk given by Gene Krantz (Ed Harris)

Monsters Inc: the end scene

Oceans 11: the entire sequence with Clair de Lune playing in the background

Matrix: the part where Neo and Morpheus are walking through a crowded city sidewalk, lady in the red dress, everything freezes.

I'm not left handed either! - Princess Bride

Freddy vs Jason final fight....talk about a bloodfest.

Wow... this is an old thread!

I'll add another couple to the list, seeing as I started the thread.

The final scene in Casablanca.
The attack upon the jungle mission in The Mission.


Mr Mephisto

Heh I saw it when I was doing a search for "Bladerunner" and didn't even notice how old it was. It looks to be a decent thread though.

I don't know if it's my favorite ever, but I downloaded "Boiler Room" just to watch the scene where Affleck makes his speech to the newbies.

Last scene of "Scarface" is pretty good.

Gladiator: When Maximus stabs the emperor in the final battle
Bourne Identity: The scene in which he kills the 2nd agent in the middle of the field.
Bourne Supremacy: Car chase scene towards the end
Dogma: when Damon takes out all the executives....but one

i really like the deleted scene in kill bill 2. "You killed my master Damoe!"

Troy, the first fight with the little guy and the huge guy, sword in the neck, you know what I am talking about, I don't want to give it away to anyone that hasn't seen it yet as its pretty new

Heat - The big fight scene

Ronin - Car chases (both of them)

Braveheart - The end when he's being tortured

To End All Wars - When they crucified that guy :(

Blackhawk Down - When the are trying to find the vein that's bleeding in the soldiers leg

Lord Of the Rings - Lots of different parts

Gladiator - The part when the Emperor depends to know who the Gladiator is and at the end when the Gladiator kills the Emperor.

Bourne Identity - The fight scene in his house

We Were Soldiers - Lots of parts from this.

Full Metal Jacket - Anything with the drill sergeant in :)

Platoon - The ending when that mean sergeant gets his arsed kicked


Can you tell I like my war movies :)
(plenty more but off the top of my head cant think of them)

A couple of my favorites:
The final battle in Saving Private Ryan is so well done and so intense.

In The Thin Red Line when Jim Caviesel's character leads the Japanese company through the jungle away from his platoon, then gets surrounded and shot. Very moving.
