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.

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.

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]

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.
