Had worse.

Michael Corleone making confession in "Godfather III."

I guess that GFI&II had some good scenes, too.

Every scene from Lonesome Dove.  If that aint the way the west really was, it should have been.

This scene totally blew me away when I saw it on the theatre maybe 20 years ago. Most of you have never seen this movie. I had no  idea what I was in for when I seen this movie, as I had never heard of it before.

Man, some of these movies mentioned belong in The Worst Movie Ever thread! [:D]

I think the idea is that you list some of the best scenes. The movie itself may be deplorable despite an excellent scene.

Really Charles?

Seems the brit humour goes unnoticed again [8|]

Some great scenes:

Final charge over the top: Gallipoli
Omaha Beach: Saving Private Ryan
Hold at Stirling: Braveheart (not historically correct, but great nevertheless)
Attack on the Death Star: Star Wars
The birthday party sighting: Signs
The death of Haldir: The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers

Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan:

Kirk: Spock.
Spock: Ship... out of danger?
Kirk: Yes.
Spock: Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh...
Kirk: ...the needs of the few.
Spock: ...Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
Kirk: Spock...
Spock: I have been and always shall be your friend.
[Holds up his hand in the Vulcan salute[/i]]
Spock: Live long and prosper.

That still brings a tear to my eye - but I suppose you would have to be into Star Trek for some time to realise the connection between the two and the loss....

That would be humor JD[:D]. Oh, I hadn't noticed the smiley. I am so often not using the smiley, in order to achieve deadpan mode, that I forget to look for it myself sometimes

Sorry Charles. I just came on here right now to edit my post saying it was more antagonistic that I meant.

I apologise.

No prob, as I didn't notice the smiley, I also ignored the other emoticon pretty much. I was wondering if you weren't more irritated than it appeared to me, but I think you can understand how not seeing the smiley would make the original post seem like you weren't aware that this was a scene thread instead of a worst movie thread. Besides, Turkish Star Wars is by far the worst movie ever. Any movie that has an HR Pufenstuf type character, getting both it's arms ripped off by the hero, and then having them force-fed into it's own mouth, just puts it head and shoulders, and arms, below the rest[:D]!

Jaws - "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

Titanic

When Leonardo sinks into the ocean.

Hated that movie and the characters it contained. Couldn't understand why I should give a rat's arse about two selfish twits while hundreds were dying around them.


As for scenes in movies I liked - there are just too many that could be my favorite. The Godfather alone has many. I'll go with Sonny beating the crap out of his brother-in-law for hitting his sister (but I reserve the right to revise & extend my remarks).

Speaking of Lonesome Dove: Call beating the crap out of the guy that hit Newt was also a great scene. I guess I like it when bullies get thumped.

So many -- when Ray Kinsella asks his father, "Hey...dad...wanna play some catch?" in "Field of Dreams" always makes me tear up.

As for war films, there's the magnificent assault on the Brecourt guns by Winters' unit. "Band of Brothers" has several great moments. Ron Speirs racing to the front to lead the attack when a commander falters --- the concentration camp liberation -- ALL of D-Day.

I loved how Spier's ran through the enemy lines to coordinate with the far unit, then ran back. Ad also when he tells the 1st Sgt the Company already had a great leader.

Ditto, my two favorite scenes as well.

The (bayonet) charge on the japanese camp in the thin red line.

Yep, thats a good line.[X(]
