Favourite Movie Scenes

Hi all,

Following a delightful exchnage of messages with a lovely fellow litster, I thought I would try a thread....mine usually fail, so I'm not hopeful.

However, I was watching a movie scene the other day and I forget how powerful the words are, when they relate to anything material.

In this case, John Candy is talking about being enough, and winning a gold medal in 'Cool Runnings'.

Please share your own favourites, especially lesser known ones, and if you feel like saying something about why you like it...great....

Wow, I'd never even heard of that movie, but that scene makes me want to see it!

Danny Boyle is great and I like Cillian Murphy, seems it wasn't a big box office success...

Thanks buddy.

It's well worth seeing one of Danny Boyle's best
 
The bar scene in Inglorious Basterds. The scene isn't even in English but is incredibly quotable, with the endlessly building tension that explodes at the end. So unbelievably well done

It is excellent. QT has his detractors, but very few people could have a 15-minute foreign language scene dead in the middle of the second act and not only pull it off, but have it a highlight.

The other standout scenes for me are the intro and the Strudel scene.

That scene also doesn't include any of the main characters which also adds to how well it was pulled off
 
And the bank scene from Heat. The best shootout in any film ever. You feel as though you're standing in that street, the cracks of gunshots echoing off the buildings, everyone screaming, the use of cover tactics. So perfectly done

I'm sad to say that Heat didn't do it for me as much as everyone else. The only standout scene for me was the docks - What are they looking at?

Good film, but didn't hold me as much as some.

Now, shootouts. The Matrix lobby scene. That was awesome.
 
A game of 'tag, your splashed' between two F14 Tomcats and two Mitsubishi Zeroes ....
