Simple. What's the best movie scenes where there is no lines. No even a word?
 
The most recent one I can think of is in The Dark Knight when Bruce gives Coleman Reese that knowing look like "yeah I saved your sorry @ss despite you wanting to extort me".
 
The climax of Lord of the Rings, Vader getting the suit, the lightcycle race in Tron Legacy, Harvey-Dent's muted scream, Inception Hallway scene.
 
that point in Toy Story 3 where they are about to fall into an incinerator and they all give eachother basically the saddest look of all time and join hands.
 
Micheal Corleone getting ready to shoot Sollozzo and MacKluskey in the restaurant, with the train screeching in the background.
 
i think action scenes dont count since you dont talk to much during action.

i think the most powerful scenes are the ones where you woudl expect talk but its just quiet.

This. I'm a 25 year old man, and I wanted to ball my eyes out during that scene.
 
It caused my eyes to tear up more than the actual ending.
 
Honestly the first one that came to mind is when Anakin tells Mace what Palpatine is up to in Episode 3 and then there's that scene with the haunting music playing while Anakin is sitting there thinking about what to do. I've always loved that scene.
 
I think of few right now:

The whole Oil burst scene in There Will Be Blood.

The opening scene of No Country For Old Men with Bardem's first kill.

The phenomenal 4 minute scene in Dunkurk in Atonement.

All those scenes from 2007. It was a good year for film.

In The Departed when Leo and Damon are on the phone for each other for a good 10 seconds before hanging up. So ****ing tense.
 
A good one that came to mind is the scene near the end of Children of Men when everyone comes to a complete halt and are astonished when they see Clive Owen and the woman with her newborn child. It's quite possibly one of the most powerful scenes in modern cinema.

The long slow push in on Michael's tense face right before he shoots is one of my favorite shots ever.

The Anakin/Padme moment where they were looking out was just powerful stuff
 
1. The Godfather Part II



2. The Searchers



3. The Graduate:



4. A Clockwork Orange:



5. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly:



6. 2001: A Space Odyssey



7. Schindler's List

Gir in red scene, cannot show.

8. Saving Private Ryan

Scene where Tom Hanks cna't hear anything on the beach and sees the carnage with a buzzing noise.

9. Platoon:



10. The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford:

 
Pretty much anything in 2001 and Kubrick in general.

Spider-Man 2 with the push in on Peter sitting up in his bed, looking at his hand right before one of the best scenes of the film with dialogue -- between him and Uncle Ben. Then him throwing the suit in the trash can.

The opening of The Two Towers from where Gandalf falls from the Bridge of Khazad Dhum and fights the Balrog.

The Departed with
Leo's death. My favorite death scene ever. When you hear the ring of the elevator you brace for it.

The scene in Deckerd's apartment in Blade Runner when he sees the woman's face in the picture and it cuts to the next scene. The music with the male voice gives me chills.
 
Seriously? Lord of the Rings, The Dark Knight, Tron: Legacy, Inception, Toy Story 3, The Departed? Do you all of you not have any movie knowledge beyond 5 years ago? This is a serious question and not meant to be insulting. It's astonishing how people really don't watch old movies. No wonder they're remade all the time, and then people complain. Well, maybe if people watched the old ones, Hollywood wouldn't bother remaking them.
So? There's been a lot of great moments in film in the past 10 years. Lord of the Rings alone should belong to the same league as The Godfather, 2001, Gone With The Wind, etc. It's earned its spot in cinematic history. It doesn't mean that we haven't seen older films. Maybe we just find more memorable moments in the newer ones because they're fresher in our minds. Having said that...

I forgot film was a contest over who's seen the most ****. And yes, I've seen many movies past 10 years ago, they're just not in my recent memory.
