I think Man on Wire might have been one of the best films I’ve ever seen. So suspenseful and riveting. I won’t spoil it, but it’s almost unreal.

Another great suspense scene.

Help us, Joebi-Wan Brynobi, you're our only ho
There's a reason HItchcock was referred to as "the master of suspense" after all.
That said, I'd put this iconic scene above that one.

Alien had several great suspense scenes. The radar scene where they realize they are in the ceiling and floor is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1VovEStXq4

I miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. One of the finest actors of our generation and Scottie might be my favorite role of his. Still laugh when he bought that ill fitting outfit to match Dirk: https://images.app.goo.gl/PW6tm9Msd4jV2fVa6

That entire montage is great. "It's funny you say that, we should be in a band" great payoff later with the band too. The rehearsal, trying to get the tapes from the studio. Classic stuff.
Agree about Hoffman. He nailed the Scottie J character. Phenomenal actor and i think this was among his best work.
Thomas Jane as Todd Parker was also incredible as a supporting character.

That’s what I was coming to post. I was physically exhausted after that scene was over.
I’ll add the Usual Suspects opening scene builds suspenseful curiosity to find out what happened that led to body count on the boat.

Him, Hoffman and John C. Reilly killed those supporting roles and really made the movie imo. Pretty sure you've seen the uncut/extras but the coke scenes are top notch if you love those characters: https://youtu.be/1HOpxYoIjFo?si=vDSYC3fgBcUG3fOs&t=1209

No argument from me there. I mean the entire cast is at their very best. Reilly, Reynolds, Moore, Graham, Wahlberg, Cheadle, Hoffman, Guzman, Jane, Bookman from Seinfeld (i forget his name). That cast is like a 4 speed with 4,10 gears and 10 coats of competition orange, full ****ing race cams, whoa.......
Have you seen the original? It's like 30 minutes long, called The Dirk Diggler story. Paul Anderson did this with the original idea in high-school iirc. The Colonel actor (Robert Ridgley) plays Jack and has "the touch" studio session. I'm not saying it's good, but you'll recognize a ton of ideas that made the final cut.
