I liked the "Leaving Earth" theme so much I actually put it on my MP3 player. The scene of the Normandy leaving with the soft piano notes as the Reapers cascade through the atmosphere like gigantic mechanized locusts hellbent on stripping our population bare gives me actual goosebumps.

The final 10 minutes of The Last of the Mohicans.
The scene in Goodfellas with the Helicopter.
The scene in Boogie Nights at the drug dealers house, (little kid with firecrackers).
Master and Commander: The final battle.
History of the World: Either the Inquisition or the French Revolution.

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)

The miniseries for It was ok but a little dated. If you haven't read the book, do it now. Right now, buy it online or get the audiobook or whatever you need to do. It's the most wacked out ending ever and the miniseries ****ed it all up.

Yeah, I can't remember how the book ended, but I remember it being different. I remember that in the miniseries, the first half was intense and awesome. Then the second half was meh and the ending was just brutal. Might pick this up just to remind myself of the ending. But still... the scenes with the little kid, the sailboat, and the bleeding picture... when I was a kid, it just gave me chills.

I agree 100% with this. I've watched Citizen Kane a second time just to make sure I didn't like it. I think On the Waterfront should replace it in the rankings.
