The best trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist

The home run into the lights in the Natural

Not at the table Carlos

"...I will find you, and I will kill you." - Taken

Would be hard to pick only 5. Hell, I've already seen more than five from posts in this thread.

More of my favorites:

Jaws appears -jaws
Ship appears -star wars
Beach scene -saving private ryan
Freedom -braveheart
say hello to my little friend -scarface.

campfire scene -blazing saddles.

I dig your vibe, man. 1, 2 and 5 were already on my mental list before I saw your post.

This, and also Smith's Stonehenge speech have cemented me into Who fandom.

28 Days Later - Opening scene (Hellooooooo.....)
Full Metal Jacket - Private Pyle meltdown
Last Boy Scout - Aien't Life a Bitch
Crossroads - Ralph Machio guitar duels with the devil
It - Sailboat falls into the gutter (could never look a clown in the eye again)

For sure those three have to be in the top 50 of any credible list.

The other two show my John Wayne homerism. But I don't think there is anything wrong with that.



I just got done watching the movie "M*A*S*H", and while I wouldn't put any of the scenes in my top 20, let alone top 5, the film is chuck full of wonderful scenes from start to finish. Great movie, and great theme song.

Beaver shot - Basic Instinct
beach scene -from here to eternity

Excellent suggestions so far. Most of the ones that initially popped to mind have been mentioned, so I'll throw a feew more out....


John Coffey rides the lightning - The Green Mile

Goose gets killed ejecting from the plane - Top Gun

"Run, Forrest! RUN!" - Forrest Gump

Vader tells Luke he's his father - Empire Strikes Back

Phoebe Cates showing her boobs coming out of the pool - Fast Times at Ridgemont High

So many great ones.

I'll just name the most powerful scene I've seen in years, which was the very first scene in Inglorious Basterds.

Also, the crucifixion of Christ in Passion of the Christ.

Ugh! That was depressing. How the hell do you have that in a top 5?

Goodfellas: Could be any scene but I'll go with the first time Henry takes Karen to the night club through the back way

Godfather: Opening wedding sequence.

Pulp Fiction: The scene where they are cleaning up the car at Tarantino's house

Glengarry Glen Ross: Coffee is for closers scene

The Shawshank Redemption: Tarring the roof scene, followed by the bull queer getting the shit kicked out of him.
