The thread title may not make a lot of sense, but I have recently re-watched some films and there are some scenes within them that are so so much better than the overall film.
My main example would be Man Of Steel. My version of Superman in my mind is the all star superman that saves everyone and risks himself in order to save other, taking care not to break something, to break someone. With this in mind the opening scenes where Superman saves an oil rig and young clark saves a bus at the risk of his identity being revealed are fantastic.
This is then undone by one scene of pettiness (Clark taking the abuse from a guy and even having stuff thrown at him well, but then trashing a truck) and the rest of the film he just does... stuff. Not a lot of saving people, just sort of... being there and occasionally fighting (although the scenes were generally well choreographed)
So for you, what dreadful films have a stellar standout scene? The "you're tearing me apart Lisa" to it's The room, the darth maul fight to it's phantom menace etc. etc.
