Favourite movie scene?

Sean Quagmire

i will smash your face into a car windshield and take your mother Dorethy Mantooth out for a nice sea food dinner and never call her again.

- Dorethy Mantooth is a saint !

irish_bob

the one that springs to mind right now is the closing scene in raiders of the lost ark where the warehouse attendant is pushing the box with the ark in it into a shed with about ten thousand other boxes that are indentical

SoupyNorman

Some of my favs include but are not exaustive of...

Goodfellas - Tommys "Funny How" dialouge.
LOTR Return of the King - 'SamWise Gamgee to the Rescue'!
Shawshank Redemption - "Get busy Living or get busy Dying"
Hot Shots - every Lyod Bridges scene:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Linoge

Brilliant from Children of Men. WHere is the camera?!?!:pac:

any car chase scene from the 1978 movie 'The Driver'.Superb.

unreggd

My fave is "2" from Kill Bill Vol 1

I love the way Beatrix just rings the bell, and goes at Vernita right away

No big back-story speech, just straight into the action

José Alaninho

LOTR Return of the King: Charge of the Rohirrim at the Pellenor fields. Music and action have never complemented each other so well in the history of cinema!

Has to be seen on the big screen though

Karmella

One of my favourites is the 'Its Sh1te being Scottish!' scene from Trainspotting

and the True Romance one mentioned already

two of my favourite films of all time.

HalloweenJack

The scenes in Downfall where Hitler goes mad at his generals.

The chewing gum salesman in Clerks.

The Paul Allen scene in American Psycho.

The Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta scene in Office Space.

Barry The Baptist in Lock, Stock...

CyrildoSquirrel

Some of my classics

"Say 'What?' again, mutha****a!"
from Pulp Fiction

and the "Head in a vice grip" scene from Casino.

Serenity Now!

The scene in 'Boogie Nights' where the two porn stars on the slide and their companion are about to rip off Alfred Molina's character in a drugs sale. Absolutely brilliantly acted (as was the entire movie), tense, funny and absolutely whacky all the same time.
One of my all-time favourite movies that one.

vektarman

The final showdown/shootout in The Good, The Bad and The ugly.

The whole fight scene in Rumblefish. Especially the intervention by The MotorCycle Boy (Mickey Rourke) at the end.

Elliot Gould features in two of my favourite scenes:

as Phillip Marlowe, with his cat, in the opening scene of The Long Goodbye:

as "Trapper" John McIntyre in the original M*A*S*H: the Last Supper scene:

When Ben Kingsley and Morgan Freeman are tied to the chair in Lucky Number Slevin and Slevin explains who he is to them.

I notice some people not posting youtube links properly, you only need to put the code at the end. Don't need to put v=.

As for my personal favourite movie scene?

Either the Circle of Life from the Lion King (big kid I am ) or the helicopter scene in Jurassic Park. When it's landing. The music is just great, you know you're expecting something brilliant.

Or in the LOTD: Two Towers -

When the elves come to help the humans. The music...oh mann.

DazMarz

Se7en; the whole end-time from when Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt leave the police station with

Kevin Spacey

and drive out into the rendezvous... The tension that was ratcheting up from the moment they leave the station, the incessant buzzing and humming of the helicopter blades of the SWAT 'copter, the fantastic interaction between the actors. And who could forget, arguably the greatest and most shocking ending in cinematic history...

Classic, for so, so many reasons.

Evac105

Kinda surprised that this hasn't been referred to - perhaps people feel it's too cliched or trite, I don't know. It was the first time I saw that Sci-fi can transcend genre and become art.

Mike Litoris

Yeah, I agree with the Blood Test Scene in The Thing.

Dotsie~tmp

+1 True Romance scene.
+1 Glengarry Glenross scenes.

Al Pacino defending the kid at the end of Scent of a Woman was good.

Wil Graham figuring out how the tooth fairy sees his victims in the hotel room in Manhunter. Great music great scene.

Duggy747

Bah, too hard to choose! I love so many different scenes for different reasons!

This pic from the short but sweet scene from Aliens when an alien rises from the water behind Newt, still looks incredible. The tail looks completely part of the alien too thanks to some fishing wire :pac:


Epic chase scene with an amazing climax, best scene in the movie I think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXpDE7aNN50

The scene that changed the game for action movies!

Feeona

Emma Thompson in Love Actually when she finds out that the gift she thought was for her (from her husband) is actually for another woman. Very well scripted, good scenes leading up to her opening the present and great acting from Thompson

The following 3 scenes really blew me away. Perhaps not my favorites of all time, but they are definitely up there.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die.

watched rise of the foot solider over the weekend,

this scene scared the bejasus out me!

The start of Bronson. The music sets the scene perfectly.

I could sit here all day typing my favourite scenes.. but I won't.. one that sticks out for me as I only watched it recently was the scene in Death Proof where the girls are driving down the road and stuntman Mike is waiting for them in his car, on their side of the road, with no lights on.. what a crash!.. and for it to be shown from all the angles was just jaw dropping.. brilliantly done.

That scene and the chase at the end saved that flik from being a joke imo. If it was edited down to 30 mins it would be a classic.:D

Authentic
