One of my favorites from Lord of the Rings is the one where the Torch of Gondor is lit. The music combined with the sweeping vistas is just epic and awe-inspiring.
And this is my favorite scene from Serenity (and most of Firefly)

This movie introduced me to Gary Oldman!sb666 said:
I really love the part soon after the clip when Matilda returns.
"I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die... with a certain satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened. something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. After that, I understood the rules, I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I'm no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I've changed. I'm unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently, free."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist."
"It is purpose that created us."
"Purpose that connects us."
"Purpose that pulls us."
"That guides us."
"That drives us."
"It is purpose that defines us."
"Purpose that binds us."
"We are here because of you, Mr Anderson. We're here to take from you what you tried to take from us."
"Purpose."
Kudos/cookies to anybody who can name the film and/or scene.
[sub]Probably not too hard, but eh, whatever.[/sub]

This scene from "Hero", fighting amongst the autumn blossoms. One of the most beautiful scenes from any film, especially when the forest changes to red:
WOW! I must see this movie to find out what she did last night! I've never heard of this movie but I will be looking into it now.MasterOfHisOwnDomain said:

Most of these have been done, but:
"YOUUUUUU......SHALL NOT......PASS!"
Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho.
"Listen and understand. That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop -- EVER! -- until you are dead."
"My friends, you bow to no one!"
Two moments in The Departed: The out-of-nowhere shot to the face coming out of the elevator, and the very end, where the bad guy sees his own death, and just shrugs and goes, "Okay."
"You....HOCKED....a HATTORI.....HANZO sword." I can take or leave Kill Bill but that line, especially the way Carradine delivers it, is one of my favorites in any movie ever. It says quite clearly he is redlining every neuron just trying to comprehend the monumental stupidity with which he's been confronted.
Last episode of Buffy, final fight. The First makes the mistake of taunting Buffy, causing http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShutUpHannibal and http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome?from=Main.CrowningMomentOfAwesome in rapid succession.

I have been studying film for nearly a decade and I have to say my two favorite scenes have to be the warehouse scene with big daddy from kick ass and the ending scene from fight club. Both had such perfect lighting great acting perfect pace great camera work and perfect sound.
Prolly the only scene where nick cage is actually badass and you can skip to about a min in
How can you not admire how perfectly they are framed.

I was also going to post an example from Hero but really (almost) any of the battle scenes would do. The movie, start to finish, is gorgeous. One of my favorite movies and probably the best movie that Jet Li has ever done. Would highly recommend.herbortamus said:
That's definitely one of his best scenes. He is actually pretty awesome in the movie Face/Off though too.aba1 said:
OT: There are a bunch of scenes from the LotR that I love.
I always tear up after this part:
There are also a lot of instant classics from There Will Be Blood but I'll pick the most iconic one. BTW, Daniel Day-Lewis is the greatest actor alive.
There are so many more but these are all the scenes that especially stand out to me.
Close enough, yeah. It's Agent Smith's monologue to Neo in Matrix Reloaded, just before Neo proceeds to wipe the floor with dozens of Smith clones in a back-alley courtyard.Tiamattt said:
