2. Once upon a time in the west (intro scene)
3. Dead Man (beginning with train)
4. Cinema Paradiso (ending scene)
5. Wild Bunch (ending scene)
6. Cecil B. Demented (ending scene)
7. 2046 (some scenes)

No "Tarantino" for me.
 
"No "Tarantino" for me."

i WAS a fan, and he is about as good a dialgue writer as there has ever been, but he's getting pretty tiresome. Can't stand the Kill Bill movies. It's been all downhill since Pulp Fiction.
 
A lot of Gangs of New York but the scene where Lewis's gang and Decap's gang stand off before beginning their battle as the canon from the navy ship goes off.

Also, I liked the Mr. Kite's sequence in Across the Universe, and the batchroom and Biker's in the bar scenes from Bronx Tale.

Why man lol? Thats hog wash, what about Inglorious Bast3rds? The comic book feel is both nostalgic and fun to watch.

"The horror. The horror"

+1 I agee. I did enjoy Inglorious Bastards, but I just watched the first Kill Bill the other day.......Sucked!
And I made it all of 10 minutes into 4 Rooms before I turned it off.
 
Murdock - From what I remember (it's been a while) - tarantino's section of Four Rooms is the last "room" (it's four short films and his is the last) and it's the best part about it.

It's really a pretty cool little story - as cool as anything in Pulp Fiction.

2 Scenes I love both in Raiders...

When Indiana is in the street and the guy starts waving his sword around and Indy just pulls out his gun and shoots him and the entire crowd goes wild..

And the part when they open the Well of Souls and Indy drops his torch in.
Sallah: Why is the floor moving?
Indiana: Snakes.. ~rolls over~ why does it have to be snakes.....
Sallah: Asps... Very Dangerous...... You go first.
 
Totally awsome scenes, I feel like an idiot for forgetting them, god they were great

+1 for sword vs gun as the greatest scene of all time

Maybe "laugh it up furball" from star wars

Branding Iron from raiders, face melt, both quite memorable scenes

And yeah, Baldwins speech was one of the high points too, good picks beatle

Ah, guess I'll have to skip to the end. Is roth's character the same through the whole thing??
 
I'm on the other end of Tarrantino fandom. I didn't really care for anything UNTIL Kill Bill; which really was the same as all his other films, just drawing from references I have a bit more affinity for. That said, I did love Four Rooms, and while I though the Tarrantino segment was the weakest of the bunch, the ending is absolutely priceless. Fantastic scene, mostly for Tim Roth (and his reaction to pretty much the whole movie).

That said, I do need to re-watch the earlier Tarrantino films.

Adding to the topic, Shadow of the Vampire. The scene where Murneau threatens Orlock, and he threatens him right back. You see a perfect transformation in the dynamic between the two, and for the first time Orlock is SCARY. Great scene!

Yep, the others where from Allison Anders (witches), Alexandre Rockwell (drunk couple) and Robert Rodrguez (parents).

But to get on topic:

Ending scene in Life is Beautiful
Dancing scene along the Seine in Everyone Says I Love You
Gay Club and Pedestrian hallway scenes in Irreversible
Drug bust/set up and childhood flashback scenes in Enter the Void
Bodies found throughout city montage in Goodfellas
Ending/Tennis playing mimes from Blow Up
Dawn of man scene in 2001: Space Odyssey
Post-play dinner scene in Rushmore
Espresso scene in Mulholland Drive
Drug montasge/cuts in Requiem for a Dream (pretty much most of the filml)
Canned food scene in The Pianist
Post-prank phone call/couch scene in Happiness
 
In Whalerider, when Pai is on stage in front of everyone... and her grandfather doesn't show up. :no:

She tries so hard to keep it together. Both uncomfortably awkward and heart-breaking.
 
Number 1 favorite scene ever American Psycho -The scene where Pat Bateman kills Paul Allen

Very close runner ups.
Opening credits/scene to the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead
The final monster battle in Destroy all Monsters
In Raiders of the lost Ark when Indy shoots the swordsman
The scene where the cabin mocks Ash in Evil Dead 2
The milkshake scene from There Will be Blood <- my most quoted scene ever!
