Best Scene of all Time

[etgryphon]

What do you guys think was one of the best scenes of all time. This doesn't mean that the rest of the movie has to be good just the scene.

Here are some nominations from me in no particular order:

Comedy:

Dali Llama plays golf - Bill M. (Caddyshack)
Star Wars Racist\Whats a Nubian? Scene (Chasing Amy)
End Dance Sequence (Nepolean Dynomite)
Origin of the Watch - C. Walken ( Pulp Fiction)

Westerns:

Bar Shootout Scene (Unforgiven)
Aim for the Heart ( A Fist Full of Dollars)
Doc Holiday - Ringo Fight ( Tombstone )
OK Corral Fight ( Tombestone )

Action:

Say hello to my little friend scene( Scarface )
Col. Kurtz's Death (Apocolypse Now)
The End of the Game ( The Game )
The Cure Scene ( Clockwork Orange )

Romance:

I have no idea...

Thats just off the top of my head.

Last witness scene in A Few Good Men

[kyro]

Interesting. I'd have to think about this one, but I can tell you my all time favorite scene is from Rush Hour. Chris Tucker's move to kill the Asian Guy and then his one-liner is awesome.

[Shajen]

When the cop figures out Verbal is Kaiser Soze in the Usual Suspects.

When Bruce Willis realizes he's dead in the 6th Sense

More to come as I think of them.

That was a good scene. I'm finding that a lot of my favorite movies don't have a scene that stands out because I like the whole thing. It is interesting just to think about single scenes that impressed you.

This is one of the few submissions I like so far. I have no clue what the best scene ever is 'cause there are so many great ones and I have no clue how to seed them, but I do know what scenes are NOT the best ever: anything from The Usual Suspects, Deep Blue Sea, or The Sixth Sense.

I'm guessing montages shouldn't count? For dramas, the final scene from Touch of Evil comes to mind. Also, I am Spartacus. For romance, the scene in Amelie where she opens the door to chase after the guy and he's right there and without saying a word she pulls him in and does the three kisses thing. That's all I got right now. I = tired.

It's not scary because everyone knows about it before seeing the movie. Hitchcock's technique is what makes this scene so special.

Plus the fact that he killed off his heroine half an hour into the movie.

[etgryphon]

- Jesus and Lucifer in the Garden in Passion

- Mary recalling Jesus as a Kid in Passion

Pretty amazing scenes.

-Gryph

[WillMagic]

There's one more that I refrained from mentioning because it's a bit obscure...but you would definitely know this one...it's the scene in Ran about half way through the movie when Hidetora's castle is under attack and the movie goes silent except for the music for ten minutes ofutter carnage.

THAT was a good scene. I'm pretty sure it inspired Spielberg in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

Will

[Amid Cent]

Godfather I - when Michael wipes out 5 of his enemies during his childs baptism.

Under Siege - Erika Eleniak popping out of the birthday cake.

[WillMagic]

I've heard that Sam Jackson's death in Deep Blue Sea is a legitimately brilliant scene in a bad movie. He's about to give the classic rally the troops speech when a shark comes and swallows him. Just saying that makes me chuckle, and I haven't even seen the movie.

Will

[Shajen]

Saving Private Ryan: The beach assault, and the very end of the movie with the older Ryan at the Captain's grave.

Very powerful.

[etgryphon]

Yeah.

I think the Black Panther Scene with the white kid's report on Abe Lincoln was pretty funny. I went to college with that kid.

Also the scene where the girl takes off all her makeup. That was pretty funny.

Band of Brothers has some great cinematography.

In a similiar vein:

Can't believe Braveheart isn't in here.
The end when he's being tortured/killed.

Lot of good scenes listed so far. Here are some more I really like:

Fistful of Dynamite Rod Steiger finding his children all killed in the cave with a bunch of other rebels.

Three Days of the Condor Max Sydow explaining things to Robert Redford near the end of the movie.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly the torture scene with the band playing outside.

Face/Off the scene with the big shoot out where we here what the little boy is listening to, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

The opening scene of Touch of Evil

Inherit the Wind: Drummond puts Brady on the stand, and grills him. This was the first courtroom drama I ever saw. This scene (where the fallacy of religion is challenged) changed my life. No kidding.

Easy Money: The harness driver holding his horse back, and Joe Pesci clotheslining him.

Viva Las Vegas: Ann-Margret's entrance. Think "white shorts". If you've seen it, you'll never forget it (you can stop the tape at that point, the rest of the movie stinks).

Willy Wonka: Wilder and Albertson yelling at each other at the end. "You stole Fizzy Lifting Drink, so you get NOTHING! You LOSE! Good DAY, sir!"

Smokey and the Bandit: Jackie Gleason chewing out the state trooper on the side of the road. I could watch that all day.

Amost any sceen from Stripes, but the one that really stands out to me is when John Locoreete is standing there reviewing his men, and the private says, no sir those arent your men, heres your men..then they proceed to fall over the obsticle course, and I always lose it watching John Candy go through the woods.

Ok, since no one else has said it, I must admit I liked the sceen in rounders at the end when he busts Teddy..I always wondered what Teddy had - aces up?

The dream sceen at the beginning and then end of Gladiator when he is dead and returning to his wife and child, very powerful stuff

Christopher Walken's entire performance in Things to do in Denver When You're Dead. It's all in the eyes and in the inflection.

The opening of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. True to the book.

You are an awesome poster sir.

Please keep up the good work.

Things to do in Denver when you're Dead is an awesome underrated movie.

White Man Can't Jump, scene 1

Sidney Deane: Hey hey man, what's the score? Yo! Chump! I'm talking to you! I'm talking to the [censored] air.
Billy Hoyle: My name ain't chump, it's Billy Hoyle.
Sidney Deane: Billy Hoyle. BILLY HOYLE. Billy Hoyle. Okay Billy... can you count to ten, Billy?
Billy Hoyle: Yeah.
Sidney Deane: Good. What's the score... Billy?
Billy Hoyle: I don't know.
Sidney Deane: Then you're a chump.
Billy Hoyle: I may be a chump, I just said that wasn't my name.

Thought of another kickass scene:

The Moscow car chase in Bourne Supremacy. Riveting action.

I've always been partial to R. Lee Ermey's initial scene in that movie.

Stand by Me has been woefully absent from these topics... how about Gordie's final confrontation with Ace:

"Suck my fat one you cheap dimestore hood"

The Lardass Hogan scene is great, too...

What are you gonna do, shoot all of us?
No Ace, just you.

Great movie.

i would have to nominate the end of blade runner when batty allows deckard to live. other good scenes from movies include the reprogramming of alex's mind from a clockwork orange or the "you cant fight in the war room" from dr strangelove
