Favorite Movie Scene

[esouhnet]

I just finished a brief scan and didn't notice this topic on the boards before, but feel free to flame away if I missed it.

We all have a favorite movie or set of movies that we adore and love, but I am not asking about those. I'm asking about a specific scene in a movie that you don't forget. The kind of scene which either gives you a fuzzy feeling and a smile, or a bit of introspection. I'm curious to know what scenes do this for the fellow escapists.

I don't have to think twice about mine. In Ferris Bueller's Day Off, it is a short two minute scene without a word of speech, just soft instrumentals over the gang of three staring at random paintings in the museum. We aren't certain what goes through their heads (except for a spoiler given in the commentary). That scene has always stuck with me since I first viewed it. But now I want to hear your opinions, so post away.

"Hamburgers! The corner stone of any nutritous breakfast. What kind of hamburgers?"

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

The standoff scene between Hummel and the other marines in The Rock.

The "Ecstasy of Gold" scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Those are the two that come to my mind.

My favourite scene in a movie is the final scene of Valkyrie, it's just so damn good!

I tried to find a video of the battle in Germania in Gladiator but I couldn't find one.

"Enough is enough! I've had it with these Mother-fucking snakes on this Mother-fucking Plane!"

the only part of the movie I like.

Ninja'd. Great choice sir. Let me add a video clip as well then.

Oh. Hell. Yeah.

 

[tomtom94]

The big battle scene in Hot Fuzz.

Or possibly the bit before that where he scissor-kicks an old woman in the face...

 

[Kiba The Wolf]

The ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs. Seeing Michael Madsen dance is just funny as hell and the scene was just very well done. Am I a bad person for laughing during this scene?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

The Graveyard standoff in The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. Man, that's epic.

 

[No_Remainders]

I've gotta go with a scene in The Shawshank Redemption when Andy Dufresne plays the music over the loudspeaker... Lemme see...

This one:

The Ball scene in Russian Ark (&#1056;&#1091;&#1089;&#1089;&#1082;&#1080;&#1081; &#1050;&#1086;&#1074;&#1095;&#1077;&#1075 is one of the most amazing cinematic acheivements I've ever seen, in the context of this amazing single-shot film.

Gonna leave the best for the beginning of this thread before it gets bloated with the same videos over and over.
This is a fine example in how every director must make scenes in their movies.

Notice how they act deeply in a matter only devoted and experienced actors can.

That movie was damn awesome. Most of the fighting scenes in it were really cool.
But also, in the second part of The Matrix, it was a fight where Neo had to punch out a bunch of elite dudes, when Neo was trying to get the Keymaker or whoever that guy was. But that music and the whole fight was so damn freaking cool.
