Usual Suspects- Verbal's walk out of the station and the realization of what just happened.

Princess Bride- "Hello, My Name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die"

Babe- The sheep hearding routine- this is such a beautifully shot bit, and the silence is just amazing, I will cry when I watch this and I'm not afraid to admit it.

The Two Towers- I also mark out every time Gandal shows up at the battle, and then Eomer slides in behind him and they charge.

I'm there's more, but that's what's sticking with me right now.

Best list by far. Goosebump moments.

This movie is awesome and seemingly relatively unknown? Or maybe its just weird that I had never heard of it before I watched it.

Re: FILM: Favourite film moment, ever?
 

Exactly.

/edit Er, the real "moment" was when I saw it at the 93x (MN radio station) premier and all the other nerds there cheered as it happened.

\"Nobody can eat 50 eggs . . .\"
 

Cool Hand Luke egg-eating contest.

Probably my all-time favorite scene from any movie.

I'm not sure it's my favorite, but it's the first scene that comes to mind: at the end of Full Metal Jacket where the soldiers are marching in the darkness with buildings on fire all around them, and singing the Mickey Mouse song... Several things about that scene combine to leave an indescribable impression on me--the lighting, the carefree song, the way the soldiers walk apart from each other so they're not easy targets. The scene gets across what I imagine the loneliness and nearness to death of being a soldier is.

The ending of "The Graduate" or Ollie's second free throw in Hoosiers.

That's a great movie, but there are much better scenes than that. The scene with his mother makes me cry. Yeah, I said it. The scene in the church where he tries to talk to God is also quite touching.

Re: FILM: Favourite film moment, ever?
 

It's too hard to think about my absolute favorite. But from recent memory the scene in Lost in Translation when they're sitting in some hallway after a crazy night and she puts her head on his shoulder and smokes a cigarette.

Ok mr B-dids, i let your little " i like the OC and you are stupid if you dont understand you can enjoy stuff like that" comment slide, but i believe putting a moment from babe on a list of all time greatest film moments has gone to far, and this aggression will not stand. I understand you apparently enjoy childrens movies/literature. But putting it on par with the usual suspects or the princess bride(which no, is not a childrens movie. Yes children like it, but do not understand 99 percent of the dialogue/humor)? Seriously, if i was Mandy Patinkin i would
1, Change my name
2, quit doing insurance commercials
3, Find out where you live, ring your bell and say "Hello, my name is now Maximus Patinkin, you ranked only me 1 spot above a childrens movie about talking swine, that will not do pig, prepare to die"
