Jaws - Quint's USS Indianapolis Speach
Empire Strikes Back - Luke vs Vader lightsabre duel
The Good The Bad The Ugly - Three man stand off at the graveyard
Rocky - Knocking down Appolo early in the fight
SlapShot - Hanson Brothers take the ice

Good scene.

I also like the scene with Robin Williams and Matt Damon on the park bench, where he talks about his wife and Matt Damon is left speechless after he gets up and walks off. "Your move sport."

1. Star Wars Ep 4: Opening Scene; pan down to Tatooine, then Rebel frigate passes overhead, taking fire from Imperial Cruiser

2. Alien: chest-burster

3. Rocky: loses the decision

4. The Deer Hunter: Russian roulette

5. Blazing Saddles: A new sheriff arives

1. Goodfellas- Henry driving around coked out of his mind, Jump Into the Fire and What is life playing in the background
2. The Departed- Billy Costigan interview with Queenan and Dignam before going undercover or the entire first 15 minutes of it.

So many more but these come to the top of mind right now. Will post more later…

Karate Kid when he takes out Johnny!

Sixth sense when he finds out he is dead

Darth Vader I am your father

YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH

pearl harbor the attack scene

Another one for me is the football field scene when Dirty Harry tracks down The Scorpio Killer to find out,"where's the girl?"

Party at the moon tower

Lots of good choices. Here are a couple more I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Goodfellas - The montage showing the result of Jimmy's tied up loose ends (played to the piano solo in Layla).
Shawshank Redemption - When the warden finds Andy's bible in the safe, and when he hears the police sirens.

I saw Casino as a small child and the scene where they're burying Joe Pesci alive is burned in my head until this day. I went the longest time not even knowing what movie the scene was from (I was very young) and just recently watched it again a couple years ago... So, I guess that qualifies as pretty memorable for me.

I'll stick with comedies, because top 5 of all movies is just brutal. Hell, many movies or actors can make their own top 10. So yeah, 5 random, awesome scenes.

The Jerk, "He hates these cans!"

Animal House, cafeteria scene.

Something About Mary, franks and beans.

Breakfast Club, Bender under the table.

Princess Bride, battle of wits.

1.) The Death Star explosion in "Star Wars".
2.) Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea in "The Ten Commandments".
3.) The opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (giant rolling boulder).
4.) "I am your father." ("The Empire Strikes Back")
5.) When Vader turns good and grabs the Emperor and throws him over the railing near the end of "Return Of The Jedi".

Honorable Mentions:

- "Jaws". The whole freaking movie. Pick a scene. The opening attack. Quint scratching the chalkboard and naming his price. "You go in the cage? Cage goes in the water? Shark's in the water. Our shark." "We're gonna need a bigger boat." The comparing of injuries and then the U.S.S. Independence story. The ending scene ("Smile, you son of a..." BOOOM!)

- The horse's head in the bed in "The Godfather".

- Rocky running up the stairs in Philadelphia.

ET in the basket would be a good one.

Requiem for a Dream: Ending sex show show scene
Stand By Me: Pie eating scene
Meaning of Life: Overweight guy eating scene
Trainspotting: bedsheet scene
Slumdog Millionare: Boy dives into crapper scene

yeah just an all-around fantastic movie and i love the special effects too. the score is great as well. that new movie even used some of the same music during the scary parts, that was a nice touch.

Thats a good one.

I thought of "coffee is for closers" as soon as I saw this thread. I'll try to name a few that haven't already been posted. I'll start with:

"I want my father back, you son of a bitch." (from The Princess Bride).

1. There Will Be Blood - opening scene. Daniel is nearly killed but finds a chunk of gold. He deposits it at a bank and $2 is put on the books.

2. Conan The Barbarian (Ahnold) - The Orgy

3. Apocalypse Now - The horror

4. Sanjuro - The duel

5. Reserved * for the next Hobbit movie, when Smaug is shown on screen for the first time. It will either be perfect or it will be another WTF moment like the flooding of Isengard in The Two Towers.

FTW. Best scene right there.

Wilson floating away in cast away

1. Unforgiven - the ending - "anyone who don't want to die best go out the back."

2. Pulp Fiction - the body disposal scene with Tarintino

3. Raising Arizona - the intro to the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse where he throws hand grenades at rabbits.

4. Monte Python and the Holy Grail - Lancealot killing spree

5. Carrie - the very end when the hand comes out of the ground and grabs Sue. That terrified me as a child

"You can't handle the truth!!!"

That 20 min scene and the almost non-stop shelling during the Bastogne episode of Band of Brothers had me stunned, speechless, teary-eyed, amazed and proud to be an American living in freedon all at the same time.

There have been many great movie scenes that I have enjoyed but those two affected me in ways that I cannot even explain. Truly fabulous

Godfather II. Micheal talks to the Senator in Micheal's office.

HI steals some Huggies.

Band of Brothers. My favorite WW2 series/movie. Watch the entire series every year on Memorial Day. My Grandpa wept during that episode. Got up and left the room. Was a Pfc in the 6th Armored Division in 1944.

That's a great scene. "My offer is this - nothing."
