favorite What is your all time favorite movie scene?

...and then she sees herself in the mirror...and then Darkness steps through it, giving you the first full view of him (he was shrouded and/or in shadows before)! God I love that movie! I know Scott never cared much for the Tangerine Dream score (which was done in a crazy short timeframe), but the original Jerry Goldsmith score is sorta...average classic fantasy. The TDream score is different and otherworldly, and most importantly, the rhythm changes in the waltz actually fit the movie (as opposed to the original, if you watch the director's cut/european version).
The opening scene of Apocalypse Now with The Doors playing...
The opening scene of Scream with Drew Barrymore...
The final 'what's in the box?' scene from Se7en...
The opening scene of The Social Network...
the final scene of Kind Hearts and Coronets...
To name just a few!

Off the top of my head...
-The ONE action scene in The International. Beautifully choreographed, and they shot up an entire fake Gugenheim!
-Any Christopher Nolan film where the scene involves 3 or more things happening at once.
-The scene in Pirates of the Carribean 3, when they're sailing back from Davy Jones' locker, and float past all the canoes w/souls in them.
-War of the Worlds (the new one) where Robbie leaves to join the army and the sky is basically a strobe light.
-The last scene of Stay. It's simply the best depiction of a dream that I've seen in a movie to date.
-Sunshine, when Capa and Kaneda go outside to repair the ship. I won't spoil it here, and don't watch it on Youtube because you don't see the full scene there. If you have access to the full movie and can watch that scene in its entirety, DO IT!

Wow. I have no idea.

Glad to see others liked Southland Tales. I always thought that was another of those movies that NOONE liked but me.. (like Speed Racer. hah!)
The Janes Addiction song quote from Southland Tales too.. spoken by Zelda Ruben-mumblemumble.
(least I think it was Originated with Janes Addiction.. wouldn't surprise me if it was much older)
::Edit::
How much for your daughter?
Also - Tarantino:
The End of Resevoir Dogs,
James Gandolfini's death in True Romance,
The Gimp Scene in Pulp Fiction,
The Opening of Natural Born Killers,
"Wanna Fuck?" in Jackie Brown,
His Whole section of "Four Rooms",
Previously Mentioned Crazy 88 in Kill Bill,
Daryl Hannah Fight Sceen/Caradine Death in Kill Bill 2
Kurt Russel torture/killing the girl in Death Proof
and the theatre owner/nazi resturaunt scene in Inglourious Basterds..
that dude can cause a scene.

The boxing scenes in Raging Bull.
Omg. It is SO underrated. The film mixes so many themes. Scifi, christain, musicals, darkass comedy. I feel like in a hundred years it might final get the respect it deserves. So glad someone else besides me loves it.
I thought of two more The game show scene in PTAs Magnolia.
The New Years Eve scene of Boogie Nights. Absolutely genius scene. So awesome.
Off the top of my head: The "departing" scene in Big Fish as Finney's character is carried to the water and passing all the people he met in his life.
Gives me goosebumps even now-that scene has a lot of meaning to me.
On the humerous side:
Santa telling Ralph "You'll shoot your eye out kid!" before pushing him down the slide with his foot in "A Christmas Story (and Ralph's expression before getting "the boot")

I completely forgot two of my favourites!
The scene in Snatch where the characters all crash into one another and the following scenes in the bar etc
The scene in The Day After Tomorrow where the ship floats down the middle of New York City
that absolutely blew me away when I saw it in the cinema

The street scene where the Polish prostitute is confronted by the Phantom in Inland Empire by David Lynch
AAh! Snatch! - the scene after the last fight.. with the Oasis song playing in the background ("f**king in the bushes") and that incredible narration!
"You ever cross the road and look the wrong way? And then Presto there's a car nearly on ya. So what do you do? Something very silly - you freeze. And your life doesn't flash before you because you're too f**king scared to think. You just freeze and pull a stupid face. But the pikey didn't. Why?
Because he had plans on running the car over."
I forgot about that!
Now I MUST watch that again!
::edited because I pretty much spoiled the whole movie! oops! got carried away for a second.::
That whole movie was brilliant! I don't think I've seen it since it came out. That's why threads like this are so awesome!
