Top 10 best scenes in Cinematic history

List them!!

 

These are some of my favourites off the top of my head:











Ben-Hur (1/10) Movie CLIP - Parade of the Charioteers (1959) HD

 

Great thread, Sly - this could be a winner!

 

This is one of my favorite early Jack Nicholson scenes from Five Easy Pieces (1971) - he´s such a cunt, but rightly so:

 

The speech.

Glengarry Glen Ross (1987):

 

The coin-toss.

No Country For Old Men (2007)

 

No explanation needed:

Goldfinger (1965)

 

´Sicilians...were spawned by niggers´
´........Come again?´

True Romance (1995)

 

´You fuck my wife?´

Raging Bull (1980)

 

It's an insanely intense scene...but not the best in the movie!

 

Alien is off-the-charts...even now.
John Hurt fucking nails it.

Psycho - what makes it realistic is the fact she doesn't just fall over and die...her reaction to being stabbed multiple times...

 

Glenngary came out in 92, not 87.

 

Ohhhhh whoopie fuckin doo!
A meaningless typo.

Are you the sort of cunt who spots insignificant continuity errors in movies?

If so, then die.

 

That's fucking awesome

 

Good eh? Good movie, too.
Bob Rafaelson directing...

 

Sly already posted that one all time favorite scene from Chariots of Fire, but the opening titles scene with Vangelis theme is iconic til this day and film students study it like the masterpiece it is.



The parting of the Red Sea from 'The Ten Commandments' IMO the most spectacular scene in film history.



Planet of the Apes (1968) ending one of the best twist/surprises in cinema


Star Wars opening spaceship shot blew EVERYONE away in sheer amazement...look at the size of THAT!!!


Close Encounters of the Third Kind 'Barnstorming/arrival of the scout ships coming out from the cloud formation. Best marriage of image and sound ever put on film. It still gives me goosebumps!

 

Enter the Dragon cave fight sequence. most awesome fight scene ever!


King Kong (1933) empire state building scene


Gone with the Wind "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!" the first cuss word that started the movie cursing


Saturday Night Fever Travolta solo dance (admit it: if you grew up in the 70s you attempted to imitate those moves)

Dirty Harry "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

 

All a bit too obvious panchy

 

HEAT bank heist/shootout

Rocky losing to Apollo in Rocky I

Capt Willard/Colonel Kurtz end of Apocalypse Now

 

Panchy....GREAT scenes my brother

 

Yeah. 'Great'.
Being as you and Panchy are consistent with a) shit movies b) blockbuster movies and c) shit movies then I'd have to agree there.
