Greatest Scene Ever

[Darthphere]

That scene in Roadhouse.

[Leto Atrides]

Every scene in Road House is the best scene ever.

Exactly.

[Golgo-13]

Keri Russell's rescue in Mission Impossible 3.

[Dr. Fate]

The "humanized" Mystique/Raven Darkholme/Rebecca Romijn lying on the floor of the squad car completely naked.

Any shot of Ellen Page/Kitty Pryde running around in tight leather.

[The Dark Defender]

The Empire State Building sequence in Peter Jackson's King Kong.

Exhilerating, moving, epic; perfectly directed, acted, shot, scored...

I felt more during that finale than most entire good movies, and Naomi gave the best performance I've ever seen by a lead actress, not to mention what an incredible job Serkis did of making Kong a character rather than just eye candy.

[Spidey-Bat]

The baptism scene in The Godfather

I thought it was good, but drawn out. And this is coming from a person who thinks the ending to RoTK should have been longer.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good scene, but I think the pacing was off.

[Spidey-Bat]

The pacing in the whole movie was off.

[The Dark Defender]

I don't think ROTK's ending should've been longer; and the ESB sequence should be drawn out. They were holding onto each other for every last second that they could.

I agree that the film has its pacing problems, but the Kong/Ann scenes were indescribeably moving and absolutely perfect, and they easily make up for any flaws that the film has and then some.

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I like the movie and the scene, I had just thought when I saw the movie that it could have been shorter, and was seeing if anybody agreed.

And I just gave ROTK as an example to show I don't mind long endings in general.

[The Dark Defender]

Oh no, don't get me wrong, I like the movie and the scene, I had just thought when I saw the movie that it could have been shorter, and was seeing if anybody agreed.

Personally, I feel shortening it would've been robbing it of its impact. I loved every subtle touch PJ added to it. I love ROTK more, but I can't think of any scene in particular that was more powerful than the ESB.

And I just gave ROTK as an example to show I don't mind long endings in general.

My mistake, I thought you were referring to me as the person that felt ROTK's ending should've been longer.

Oh, alright, fair enough.

[Dr. Fate]

Frodo's flashback to Gandalf's advice at the end of Fellowship of the Ring: "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you..."

[whitecrawler-->]

The Nightcrawler opening scene in X2.

that sequence is awesome and really well shot (of course i'm a tad biased) i also liked Storm's lightening within the church Kurt is in though it's not amazing-just cool ^_^ erm one of my favourites is in Constantine which i know not most people liked but from an arty point of view there's a shot near the end where he's bleeding and the camara zooms in on his watch and his blood comes down around it like time is finally stopping but time already has to change slightly for him to reach hell-so it kinda represents an irony in some way!

[BloodyWolverine]

I have four favorite scenes in movies that kinda tie as the best in my opinion.
Now these may not be everybodys but they are mine.

1 Magneto moving a secton on the golden gate bridge to alcatraz island X-Men 3.

2 Boramirs death in Fellowship Of The Ring.

3 Spiderman stopping the train with his webbing in Spiderman 2.

4 The scene where the pirates attack from under water on the Dauntless. Or more easily explained the death march of the skeleton pirates in Pirates Of The Caribbean 1.

[Darkred]

LOTR trilogy has so many memorable scenes: the opening sequence telling the history of the ring, the battle of helms deep and minas tirith but theres one scene. Gendalfs fall in Fellowship and everyones reaction when they reach outside the cave is unforgetabble. It gets me everytime.

Another scene is Neo's fight against 100 smiths in reloaded. Blew me away, Keanu was perfect at something for the first time.........KICKING AGENT A$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FaT_tONle]

Scarface... "the world is yours" scene aftermath after the gun battle

[TankerX]

North by Northwest - Cary Grant running from the Plane

[Carmine Falcone]

You gotta love the final sequence of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade with the boobytraps and all.

every scene with Connery in it rocks....

[The Chairman]

The "Layla" montage in Goodfellas. This scene is jus tos beautiful, even if it is just a montage of corpses. Poor Frankie Carbone...

[Golgo-13]

The scene in Raider of the Lost Ark where the Nazi's open the Ark.

The opening scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The Chaos at Loa Che's restaurant as Indy struggles to get the antidote for the poison he's drunk.

[Dr. Fate]

Keira Knightley standing in a soaked, skin tight white dress on the beach in Pirates of the Caribbean 1.

[Bat Attack]

The entire scene at Lances house after Mia od's in "Pulp Fiction".

[The Chairman]

Jules' interroggation of Brett in Pulp FIction. Sam Jackson's finest hour.

[Diamondhead]

Ben-Hur!
Horse racing scene!
No CGI there...pure movie making magic!
How come there's no video game about it
Do I have to do it myself?

Ten Commandments!
Parting of the sea
I mean the acting and all the emotion involve make it one of the most memorable scene ever !

The abyss!
Well I can't tell you about it , just go and rent the movie! You cur!

[James"007"Bond]

The final swing at the end of the 1st spidey movie. It was the most visually poetic scene through out the entire movie, which btw is a dissapointment considering the movie was 2odd hours and that was the only scene worth watching.

[Bat Attack]

Jules' interroggation of Brett in Pulp FIction. Sam Jackson's finest hour.
LOL, that scene is great. "Oh I'm sorry did I break your concentration? Oh, Oh you were done? Well allow me to retort." And, "Mr. Wallace doesn't like to be ****ed by anyone but Mrs. Wallace.":up: :up:

[The Chairman]

ENGLISH MOTHER****ER, DO YOU SPEAK IT!

[Bat Attack]

"what!!??"

[The Chairman]

"what!!??"

SAY WHAT AGAIN! I DARE YOU, I DOUBLE DARE YOU!

lol, okayt that's enough. Anyway, here's a slightly revised Top 10:

1) Almost Famous - "Tiny Dancer" singalong
2) Aliens - Hudson's last stand.
3) Goodfellas - Billy Batts getting the crap kicked out of him.
4) Fast Times At Ridgemont High - Phoebe Cates' nude scene.
5) True Romance - The Hopper / Walken showdown
6) Pulp Fiction - Jules' interrogation of Brett.
7) The Godfather - The horse's head.
8) One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest - McMurphy takes the inmates fishing.
9) A Few Good Men - "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
10) Batman Returns - The showdown in the sewer at the end.

[Warhammer]

Pulp Fiction had three really good ones:

- Brett's Interrogation Scene. "Does he look like a b****?"
- Jules and Vincent at the diner. "Get my wallet, it's the one that says Bad Mother****** on it."
- Marcelus Wallace after getting raped. "I'm gonna go medieval on yo ass."

Others that I liked were:

- Predator. "You're one ugly mother******."
- Jackie Brown. When Samuel L. Jackson picks up Chris Tucker from the hotel and kills him.
- Mission: Impossible. When Ethan Hunt finds out the truth.
- Spider-Man 2. When Spider-Man gets his suit back and swings toward Doc Ock at the tower. That is the best scene of the movie.
- True Lies. The ending scene when Arnold and Jamie Lee Curtis do the tango.

[Diamondhead]

Also…
Jesus of Nazareth!
The scene where the blind man sees for the first time!

If I had to choose a superhero movie
Nothing beats 1978 superman .
Superman’s grief over Lois lane when he realizes she was dead!

[Kaboom]

shawshank redemption, with the reveal of the axe in the bible

primal fear- when ed norton reveals hes not schizophrenic

major league II- wild thing comin out of bullpen in the last game

wizard of oz- dorothy stepping into the world of color

the shining - when the girl sees jacks book: all work and no play makes jack a dull boy

star trek first contact "i will not blow up the damn ship!"

planet of the apes: staute of liberty

[Mic]

The scene where Optimus Prime mashes through the decepticons in cab/truck form, jumps in the air, transforms and starts blasting the remaining standing decepticons left,right and center with his gun -right before his final showdown with Megatron in 'Transformr:The Movie'.
My number 1 movie moment ever.
Right from when he steps off the ship and transforms, till he beats down Megatrons ass.
Nothing compares to that scene for me. Its just something geeky deep down inside.:up:

[Shuley]

Casablanca - The scene just before she gets on the plane
Finding Neverland - Where johnny Depp says "That's neverland!"
Spider-man 2 - Train scene, Best superhero fight scene ever so far.
Taxi Driver - Travis Bickle sits on the couch puts his fingers to his head.

[Shuley]

Do you people really think what happens in movies like transformers,star wars,star trek are really the greatest scenes in film history? Answer is NO!

[Leto Atrides]

This debate is almost wholly subjective. People react differently to different films.

Besides, you think one of the best scenes is in Spiderman 2. That's the pot calling the kettle black.

The setting suns scene truly was magnificent. The music, the visuals the timing. Just ****ing brilliant.

[Dr. Fate]

Harrison Ford being chased by the giant bolder in Raiders of the Lost Ark. That scene pretty much sums up and personafies the entire Indiana Jones formula.

Christian Bale spraying Cillian Murphy with Murphy's own fear gas and then appearing to him as a Lord of the Ring style monster in Batman Begins.

[co2]

Greatest scene ever?!! wow, now that is a heck of choice. I'll just role with what first comes to mind.

I say the scene between Christopher Walken as a mobster and Dennis Hopper as an x-cop in True Romance. Overall, the movie itself is great but there are much better...but that one 7-8 minute scene is so tense, riveting, funny, tragic, well written and acted, that it is almost too good for that movie.

My friend...you have phenominal taste. :up: :up:

[co2]

As do you. :up:

[moop501]

Hmmm...Forrest Gump had a lot of great scenes,but I think when Jenny dies/he takes care of his son is the best one.

[thealiasman2000]

To take a nasty shot at all of you:


the scene in "Galaxy Quest", where the retarded, Trekkie-like fanboys starts asking stupid fanboy questions to the lead actor of the TV show (Jason Nesmith), and he gets pissed off and screams. "Look ,it's just a damkn TV show, allright!? There is no flux capacitor, there is no tachion pulses, and there is no goddamn ship! OK!?".

It would have been a better scene if they hadn't lifted it from William Shatner's classic appearance on SNL years earlier.

[The Chairman]

As do you. :up:

Thank you.

Here's another great music related sequence form my favorite movie:

Almost Famous - Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour" being played as Kate Hudson is getting qualudes pumped from her stomach. The irony of a song so sweet and beautiful being played while a scne so intense is going on shows how much of a genius Cameron Crowe is.

[ZeroSuit]

Serenity - The first time we see the ship and the music swells

Star Trek 8 - "The line must be drawn here!"/End scene

The Professional - Death Of Leon

Shawshank Redemption - He escapes

Transfomers - Optimus Prime's Entrance/Battle with Megatron

Back To The Future - George knocks out Biff

and possibly my number one

The Truman Show -

[spideymusprime]

Some of my favorite scenes;

1. Spider-Man last couple of scenes - It's my gift, my curse..Who am I? I'm Spider-Man! :spidey:

2. Return of the Jedi. All Vader and Luke scenes at the end especially Vader's last words and funeral. Beautiful but sad...:(

[Poetic Chaos]

-Wolverine walking towards Jean, constantly healing himself in the finale of X3.
-The T-Rex saving the day at the end of Jurassic Park.

[Dr. Fate]

Kevin McCarthy shouting "You're next!" at the end of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[y2jversion1]

The scene where Optimus Prime mashes through the decepticons in cab/truck form, jumps in the air, transforms and starts blasting the remaining standing decepticons left,right and center with his gun -right before his final showdown with Megatron in 'Transformer:The Movie'.

I second that!

Along with -

The scene just before the Narrows final fight, where Rachel asks Batman who he really is incase he dies and he answers with the "...Doooooo" line and then glides off - just that whole scene with the awesome score in the background is awesome for me.
