That scene in Basic Instinct

Some great ones mentioned already, just waisted at least an hour watching them.

Will add the closing scene from The Cincinnati Kid (spoiler alert)

And Al Pacinos Speech from Any Given Sunday

the scene in Angela's Ashes where she is emptying the bucket of piss 'n ****.

OP what have you done, you have us frantic showing clips of our favourite scenes, fair play to you, you have probably caused a few of us to download movies again to watch for the weekend. Seeing that focus has switched to Irish films or films made in Ireland, I think John Mills character in Ryan's Daughter was as good as John Hurt's Bird in The Field.

Moving more toward Scotland and another actress mentioned Emily Watson in Angela's Ashes, her role in the film Breaking The Waves was extraordinary and the way she grasped the Scottish colloquialism and language.

Maybe not one of the greatest scenes but definitely one of the greatest final shots:

The good the bad and the ugly graveyard scene...

This is my favourite movie and this was the scene I was going to say. Its such an epic movie, action and humour and great cinematography all through, building all the time towards the final scenes in the graveyard. Even quite apart from the famous end scene I absolutely love the search for the grave by Eli Wallach, (who for me in his role as the Ugly is the true star of the movie; no small claim opposite the legendary Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef!) where he starts his haphazard dizzying almost goofy running through the cemetery with Ennio Morricones amazing score seemingly driving him. Im thrilled I get an opportunity to see him with his orchestra at 3arena next February

Its such fun and all this is building to the iconic three way face off between the titular characters. And that doesn't have a half bad score neither

Memorable one.

This is my favourite. Even better with a good sound system.

Arguably the best super hero movie. What's affecting about that scene was that this was Dunn finally finding his purpose which was to protect people. He did what he needed to do in order to prevent the orange man from hurting others going forward. There is no showdown, drawn out battle, quips or one liners. It's simply the hero methodically and deliberately doing what was necessary by choking a psychotic criminal to death while getting thrashed around like a rag doll.

It's a criminally underrated movie. The music in that scene is so powerful too.

I saw the chase scene from Bullit posted earlier, iconic but let down by poor editing, how many times does the green Beetle appear?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07pUxiaxkP4

This almost unknown chase from 1971 is one the best ever filmed, co-ordinated by Remy Julienne who had earlier worked on the Italian Job

Maybe not as well known, but the chase sequences in the Driver (1978) with Ryan O'Neal does it for me, although I do like Bullit too.

Three incredible actors there in Lemmon, Pacino and Harris.

Seven ups is good as is the Pontiac chasing the train in the French Connection. Bullit ,Seven Ups and French connection all feature the same stunt driver/actor Bill Hickman, driver of the black Charger in Bullit

Saving Private Ryan.

Beach landing scene.

Veterans have stated that it was the closest depiction of that days events that they had ever seen recreated on film.

Also the sniper scene from the same movie!

In fact, the entire movie.

In fact, pretty much everything Spielberg has ever done.

buried · 17-11-2018 8:50pm

Speaking of Spielberg and car chases, the one here from Raiders is very very brilliant. The visual action and the music score that goes along to the sequential editing in it is so cool. The minute it starts as the horse stomps down the hill to the stomping part of the score, genius stuff

I have a few of these there are somewhat Random but I absolutely love a good scene. Genuinely think one scene can make (Or break) a film;

Any Given Sunday: I have two from this first will be somewhat obvious but Al Pacino's speech before the final game is even on my Spotify playlist when in the gym. I challenge anyone not to get pumped during it.

Second is a great one between Pacino and James Woods when they have an argument on the field. It is just pure OTT Oliver stone but just seem to he trying to one up each other in chewing the scenery. It's brilliant.

Gangs of New York: Daniel Day Lewis's film all over but in keeping with the more random picks it's a scene where Brendan Gleeson defiantly asks "Will I hang my watch there Bill" and later says "Someday" it's a hell of allot more suttble then Woods/Pacino scene above bit there is so much said in that film if you are watching it.

The Raid 2: Kitchen Fight, is is the best fight scene in film IMO. Anything else is fighting for second.

Rounders: It's a little dated now since the poker revolution and everyone is an expert but watch the final hand in this and something like the final hand in Casino Royale (Or most other poker films) and the later will be some crazy unlikely hand where there will be statistically unlikely showdown or played like a lunatic which is spoon fed to the audience. In Rounders you see it played out without narration and they don't even show you John Malkoviches hand.

The Count of Monte Cristo: Unashamedly my favourite film to watch, Final Fight between Jim Caviesl and a scene steeling Guy Ritchie.

I should narrow the question down, a film you'd re-watch just for one scene, one where the hairs on your neck stand up every time? To top the first two films (arguably making it the most perfect cinematic trilogy ever) was an achievement in itself, it also contains one of film's greatest moments.... the Ride of the Rohirrim:

Collater: Club scene

Terminator 2: Truck chase

Rocky 1: Rocky vs Apollo

Mission Impossible Fallout: Bathroom fight

Just off the top of my head. Would throw in Lord of the Rings but i watch that when ever its on anyway.

Rocky 1 probably my favourite movie of all time so had to add that

******

As a bonus, not sure if many have seen this but if you love film,watch this!! Count how many you recognise. Its superbly done!!
