What are your favorite movie scenes? (1 Viewer)

A couple that really hit me in Middle School/High School:

Watched the Breakfast Club over and over. The scene where they are sitting in the circle talking about why they were in detention really resonated with me.

Couldn't find Brian's - will look more later.

Andrew

Also, was just starting out watching horror movies. This movie still sticks with me, and I still remember the feeling I had sitting in my basement the first time I saw Leatherface come up from the basement.

Leatherface Intro

 
Just a little moment, but captured the movie perfectly, and still one of the scariest scenes in movies for me:

Jaws

The shark has gotten into the canal and knocked over the boats, the overhead shot where the guy is clinging to his boat and the shark rises out of the darkness and takes him.

Its ruined for me seconds later by going all Chainsaw Massacre with the screaming and thrashing, but that other moment is great. Its silence only makes it better in comparision.

I was thinking of the Breakfast Club, but couldn't think of one that stood out more than another. Those are as good as any.

Now that I think of it, the closet scene might be my favorite from the film.

 
There was a movie years ago called Blown Away with Corey Haim and a young, still beautiful Nicole Eggert

There are many terrific scenes to choose from and I can not link them. Nor can I link the Emannuelle scene

 
Dinner scene between Chief Brody and his son in Jaws.

The Indianapolis speech and the singing on the boat is what most thing of as the best part of this (maybe greatest movie of all time) movie.....but the dinner scene perfectly depicts how we as parents/adults can get reassurance, love and comfort from our children. Perfect Spielberg moment.

Here's someone's videotaping of the TV screen so the quality is lame.

Searching for that led me to this page, which appears to answer my lingering question of why the shark didn't eat Michael Brody.

That was pretty awesome, but I actually prefer the three Mohicans disrupting the ambush on the Redcoats by the Hurons near the beginning of the film. Simply amazing stunt work and fight choreography and one of my favorite battle sequences in film.

I concur.

I also like the scene where Hawkeye and Uncas cover the messenger's run into the woods with some sharp shooting.

My wife loves the romance in this film.

Good call. The messenger cover scene is also interesting because we later learn that the cowardly return message from Webb was intercepted by Montcalm. Also fantastic, in terms of dialogue, is the scene between Montcalm and Magua where Montcalm unmistakably invites him to attack the British after they leave Ft. William Henry - without ever saying so.

 
Jurassic Park - Sam Jackson needs to reboot the park's power system, and the says, "Hold on to your butts."

I used that line all the time when I have passengers in my car. :drive:

 
I don't particularly like Rosie O'Donnell, but this is a great scene that she steals in Beautiful Girls.

ETA: language possibly NSFW if that matters

The shot where they come upon the fort at night and the cannon blasts illuminate the fort and woods might be my favorite visual in any film!
