    The Green Mile

    OK ok that's not a scene,but how do you pick one scene from THAT film?
    Also agree with the Goodfellas posts
    The three main characters in that film are a masterclass in acting

    Pretty much any scene from the first two Godfather movies but here's a left fielder. The first time The Tramp ever spoke.

    The opening scene in The Gangs of New York was very good. Unusual for the best scene of the movie to be at the very beginning.

    There is only ONE answer and that is the tense, nail-biting finale of Free Willy 3!

    The French national anthem scene in Casablanca, where they shout down the Nazis and Ingrid Berman remembers why she adores Victor Laslo and Rick is torn between fighting for something he wants and fighting for something he really believes in. Gets be everything especially when they focus on Yvonne face ! Seen it 30 times, that it the look on Ingrid Berman face as she walks into Ricks for the first time.
    +1 for apocalypse now ride of the valkries scene though I've never quite seen anything so spectacular.

    Visually still looks amazing, the sounds, the setting. Perfection!

    While I don't think this is the best scene in movie history, it's one that stuck with me the most. Greatest movie ever made, yeah I reckon so. I was genuinely terrified of Michael Corleone in this scene when I first watched it.

    Final scene of Paths of Glory where they force the German girl to sing.

    Any of the death set scenes or the head in a box scene in seven.

    I always liked Brian Cox's monologue at the end of that film (25th hour)



  • Site Banned Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭Second Toughest in_the Freshers


    also, the courtroom scene in A Few Good Men

    "you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall..."

    maybe I should start a thread 'pretty good scenes committed to film'...

    anyway, Dog Soldiers, on Film 4 in 10 mins

    Paul Newman eating 50 eggs for a bet in Cool Hand Luke. One of me favourite films of all time.

    This requires multiple likes from me

    Russian Ark has to get a mention. "I open my eyes and I see nothing,"

    With 2,000 costumed actors and three orchestras it took them three takes to get the first stedicam shot.





    through 33 rooms and centuries of Russian history.





    one lavish costume drama in the Winter Palace shot that's an hour and a half long :eek:

    Final scene in rounders with Matt Damon.

    This is such a underrated film . Nearly everyone I've ever asked said they never heard of this film .

    There will be Blood - Bowling alley scene. I love the "I'm finished" shout to the butler to clean the mess up and take him to bed perhaps
