What's your favorite scene from a movie?

[Jaqen Hghar]

Lots of scenes from LotR.
And more or less everything involving Dr. Manhattan talking in Watchmen. They couldn't have made him better. And I say that as a huge fan of the comic.
It was all so... disconnected from humanity, yet so passionate.

>< All of you people talking about the Watchmen movie ought to read the graphic novel. It's so much better, I've read it like 3 times now..
Anyway, I've got a few favorite scenes. The first that springs to mind is the end of "Se7en", the last line in the movie: Morgan Freeman is walking with someone and says "Ernest Hemingway once said, 'the world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part."
That scene fit perfectly with a conversation my friend and I had revolving around my other favorite quote (Doctor Who, Season 4, first episode, Mr. Copper/Cooper/whatever saying how choosing who lives and dies would make you a monster, if you're curious).
Another is the scene from "The Thing" (I am a horror/zombie/sci fi/gore movie junkie) where he sticks a hot needle in the container of blood, and the blood jumps out of the container. Really fantastic effects in that movie. Stuff like that was both hilarious and stunning to watch.
OH AND!
The part in Grindhouse: Planet Terror where Abby shows that guy his collection of testicles. The guy asks, "What are these?" and Abby says calmly "They're balls." epic. Epic movie, really.

optimus prime coming back to life in transformers rise of the fallen then he gets upgrades and kicks ass XD............slightly off topic but was i the only one who cried when optimus was killed?

My eyes watered a bit but my boyfriend was there so it was a little awkward.
I.. Really hated that movie, though. ><

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

The diner scene from Resevoir Dogs.

 

[JDLY]

In Death Race, when the guy gets led to his cell the first time.

They put him in, the guards walk away only to hear the sounds of somebody getting beat up.

When they walk back he's standing by the door and three guys are laying unconsious in the corner.

He simply looks at the guard and says: "They slipped"

 

[Jv14]

The scene, where an or gets killed in LOTR

 

[bodyklok]

Probably the part of Watchmen where Doctor Manhattan invades Vietnam.

Good one. I enjoyed the part when Rorschach was in prison though.

"Now you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you. Your in locked here with me!!"

That was a close second for me, I almost choose it.

 

[Vuljatar]

The Comedian getting beaten to death in Watchmen.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

No idea, I don't usually watch movies, and I can't remember any particularly fascinating scenes off the top of my head. People dieing in horror movies is always hilarious though.

EDIT: forgot about the good old Goldfinger scene from bond. you all know the one.

 

[this_was_a_mistake]

The scenes in Fight Club...

Spoiler

Where Edward Norton Beat himself up in front of his boss.

And...

Spoiler

The fight with Tyler Durden at the end.

 

[esperandote]

in unbreakable when bruce willis and samuel l jackson stretch hands

 

[Lynx]

So many, but the first one that sprung into my mind was Fight Club,

Spoiler

when all the flats just fall down. It all comes together, the bad guys won...or the good guys, gods it's so delightfully morally ambiguous. Ain't that brilliant?

And The Pixies' "Where is my mind" starts to play. Beautiful.
I will always remember the scene in the airplane though,
"And now a question of etiquette - as I pass do I give you the ass or the crotch?"
along with,

Boys Don't Cry:

Spoiler

That cruel and heartwrenching rape scene.

Million Dollar Baby:

Spoiler

When Frankie turns off Maggie's life support.

 

[Superbeast]

Hmm, a couple are ones that I tend to think of:

1) Boromir's death scene in LOTR, and when he's laid to rest in the boat.

2) Charge of the Rohirrim, that always makes my spine tingle.

3) The hospital scene in Hancock, first time I watched that movie that scene was like a kick in the balls.

I watch way, way, way too many movies to list all my favourites, but these are the 3 that popped into my mind reading this thread.

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

Pulp Fiction, Samuel L's bible recital and 'tasty burger' scene. Cinematic fried gold.

 

[KjellKanon]

I can't believe it hasnt been mentioned yet!

The Boondock Saints!
Particularily the court room scene at the end. Mmmmh, gives me goose bumps.

 

[THEMILKMAN]

Pulp Fiction.
"Say what again. Say what again. I dare you, I double dare you ************, say what one more God damn time."

That whole scene is just great.

What? I ain't ever heard of no country called What. Do they speak english in What?

OT: the rock battle with the Devil in Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny.

 

[HassEsser]

Pulp Fiction.
"Say what again. Say what again. I dare you, I double dare you ************, say what one more God damn time."

That whole scene is just great.

What? I ain't ever heard of no country called What. Do they speak english in What?

Oh no, you beat me to it! Well, here is another good scene:
"What do you think Marvin- BOOOM"
In case you don't know what scene that was, it was chronologically after the scene you mentioned, in a car, involved an exploding head

They could've made Dr. Manhattan better if they covered up that haunting glowing blue penis of his. I still see it in my dreams. @_@

 

[jeiku]

The ending to love actually, it was so brilliant. I mean come on!
who can honestly tell me they didnt cry tears of joy when it FINALLY ENDED!

"Does Marcellus Wallace look like a ***** to you?" NO!" "Then why are you trying to screw him like one?" Well we were-" *Samuel Jackson shoots the guy's friend* "Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?"
