Favourite Movie Scenes/Moments?

Preferably non-spoiling ones, but I know there are a lot of scenes I love and felt I needed to share, whether you've seen them or not. Post yours too.

These are mine, my favorite out of those favorites though is the Schindlers List scene, I just think it's amazing how throughout the whole film, everything is black and white, and that scene is the only part where you can see color.

Also tempted to watch Resovoir Dogs after seeing that clip you posted, i've never got round to seeing the film but shall get round to watching it sometime this week.

Reservoir Dogs is pretty much a modern classic, must be seen by everyone.

I saw Schindler's List recently, and while it's very depressing, there are quite a lot of great scenes in it. I like the part where Amon Goeth tries to be more forgiving of the Jews, then just gives up and shoots a boy. Some really dark humour in that.

The video below, obviously apart of my avatar, is from the very beginning of the French film, La Haine. In the scene, Vincent Cassel (the best actor alive, in my opinion) does an impersonation of Travis Bickle from the Martin Scorsese picture, Taxi Driver, which starred Robert De Niro as Bickle (also, just an interesting note for wrestling fans... before Vinz enters the bathroom, you see his room and there's this very noticeable Bret Hart poster hanging up in it; I always thought that was bad ass). Awesome scene from an awesome movie. Check it out.

The entire Kilgore sequence from Apocalypse Now. Hell, pretty much that entire movie. I'd find the clip but can't from work.

I really only had time to post the one... but, it makes me laugh every time.

This isn't one scene as it appears in the movie, but the series of scenes showing what happens to one guy in the movie after an accident during an experiment known as "Tickling the Dragon".

There are so many things about this scene that make it work, I'm not even going to try to list them all. The tension is incredible just when you consider the insane danger of the experiment itself, and the score accents it nicely. One thing that really stuck with me was the fact that Merriman (Cusak) pretty much knows he's screwed as soon as he touches the core, but he has the wherewithal to tell everyone to stand still and mark their positions so he can calculate everyone's dosage.

I'm so half arsed about this, I cannot be bother finding the specific scenes on the internet, but these scenes I love.

Almost Famous - Two scenes; firstly the scene where Penny is driving William to the Hyatt and telling him what she tells the girls (or "band aids"). The sentiment and duality of what she says, compared to her own character is brilliant. Also, the cover for Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" is reflected in the windscreen of the car and I love little things like that. The scene where Penny is on the plane and realises that William loves her as he runs through the terminal waving to her is stunning.

The Green Mile - The final execution scene, where the friends and family of the girls that died are so angry and hateful (understandably so) but the guards are actually weeping to be having to execute such a beautiful and innocent soul. I cry hard at that film.

Serenity - When Shepard Book tells Mal, "I don't care what you believe in, just believe it!" Gives me tingles everytime.

High Fidelity - The list scene, when he lists all the things he misses about Laura. I think it's perfect.

There's more... Many, many more. I'm a nerd. I just can't think straight right now.

One of my favorite scenes comes from the Second Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The scene has Leatherface crawling out of the truck while Chop Top is driving to extract revenge on the drunken College Kids who ran them off of the road in the opening scene of the movie. Anyway, Leatherface makes his way to the back of the truck bed while dancing with a dead body. Keep in mind the truck Chop Top is driving is driving in reverse and the college dudes are moving forward but are unable to get away. Eventually Leatherface pulls out the chainsaw and saws the head of the driver in half.

One of the best opening scene kills in a horror film in my opinion.

Yush, yush, and more yush. Glad to see someone else loves that movie because it a very good movie that is relatively unknown. There are a lot of scenes I could point out from that movie but those are two big ones. I like the scene where they leave that kid's house after the Russell's acid trip and all start singing Tiny Dancer.

You really have to watch the movie and all the events that happened the night before to truly appreciate the scene.

I also like this scene a lot too from the beginning of A Clockwork Orange. I know it's pretty hit and miss around here but a brilliant film nonetheless.

I'll be adding more later.
