Scenes to Recreate

What are some good scenes that you all would suggest for a complete newbie to try and recreate for practice? For my current situation, I'm really looking for low-to-no budget scenes.
 
So you mean famous movie scenes that you can reshoot...?

RDogs was fairly low budget and could be recreated for little cash. Same with parts of Pulp Fiction. Glengarry Glenn Ross could be done no budget.

You're going to need some powerful actors though...
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I've never seen Glengarry Glenn Ross, but I just added to my Netflix. Any other suggestions? It could literally be a walking scene from Garden State. I'm just looking for ideas on scenes to study and then I'll try to recreate them with my camera and figure out why they shot the scene like they did.

The necessity of having a cooperative cat may make this impossible to recreate, but the opening minutes of The Long Goodbye are absolutely transfixing.

It's amazing, because nothing really happens.

I've been watching it over and over recently, trying to figure out the trick. The fact there are no stationary shots in this sequence (or the whole movie) might be part of it.
