Best scene in a movie

[Mallus]

Mr. Roberts --Mr. Roberts and the ship's doctor making aged Scotch from scatch. And, of course, Ensign Pulver throwing the tree overboard...

The Royal Tenenbaums -- Margot's first play. Or Pagoda stabbing Royal, again.

Pulp Fiction -- "If you say "what" one more G--...."

Willy Wonka -- The boat ride.

The Producers -- the muscial numbers.

Annie Hall -- Alvy giving the tour of his childhood. "Now I'm a methdone addict."

This Island Earth -- The ship descending/docking on Metaluna [okay, so this is really my favorite matte painting]

Forbidden Planet -- Morbious explaining the fate of his 'marvellous Krell' while the Id Monster pounds away at his space-house.

Some Like it Hot --Tony Curtis doing Cary Grant whilst on the yatch-date with Marilyn Monroe. This isn't as dirty as it sounds.... no really, its funny.

Trainspotting --Ewan McGreggor slinking away w/the money to the tune of Born Slippy.

Blade Runner -- Roy Baty ultimately saving Deckard's life.

Casablanca -- the start of a beautiful friendship, of course...

Bah! This is too easy. Great scenes in great movies -- anyone can do that.

Here's a challenge: The BEST scene in the WORST movie. Points for:

1. Crappiness of movie
2. Coolness of scene
3. Lack of other cool scenes in movie
4. Presence of David Hasselhoff, Susanna Hoffs or Dustin Hoffman (don't ask why, just accept)

Come on.

Probably should have started another thread for this one...but oh what the hell. The part in "Alien: Ressurection" where an alien starts killing guys in an escape pod and then Dan Hedaya's character chucks a grenade into it without hesitating right before it blasts off was pretty cool. Of course a few short moments later it had to get all stupid again when he takes out a piece of his brain and looks at it, but the first part was cool nonetheless.

Hmmm, it ain't "cool" but I laughed my butt off...

Ishtar. The scene where they are composing, "Tellin' the truth can be dangerous business..."

Fight Club: the lye scene. and I will never ride an airplane the same way after the scene about oxygen
Pulp Fiction: the bacon scene. the bible quote
donnie Darko: the last scene, flashing to all the different people
Waking Life: opening sequence of "dream is destiny"
and how did noone mention go-go from kill bill?

 

[Dark Jezter]

Rocky: In the 14th round of the fight, a battered and beaten Rocky is knocked to the floor by Apollo Creed. As Adrian watches, Rocky shakily pulls himself to his feet (despite his Manager yelling at him to stay down) and gets back into the fight. The look of disbelief on Apollo Creed's face is priceless.

"Ghost ship" Where everyone on the dancefloor is slain in the Ultimate "Cut and slow fall" scene ever made.
