Best Scene Ever
What is the absolute best scene/sequence from a movie/play/musical you have seen?
I'm torn between the part of Moulin Rouge when Ewan McGregor confronts Nicole Kidman during the performance, or when Dave Bowman shuts down HAL in 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
And, just to save all of us some time, no porn.

<b>O</b> Ripley emerging from the mist in the Powerloader in Aliens.
<b>O</b> Captain Miller dying on the bridge in Saving Private Ryan.
When Ques blow'd up in Chars Counter Attack.
The end sequence of Metropolis with the towers crubmling and the city pretty much in havoc.
Cant really remember any other good scenes from movies. I'll rack my brains later on.
edit: just to make sure I don't eat this and he changes it: The rohirrem charge at Minas Tirith in Return of the King, really moving. Another good one was when they charged down into Helms Deep. In fact, I'm just really proud of my Viking heritage.

Oh, I remember that. That was pretty neat.
Although, rembering the movie now I feel sorry for the guy holding on to the time traveller in the end. He was moving at normal speed. Imagine having your arm stuck in something, and being unable to move for severel days/weeks as you gradually waste away.
"We have just lost cabin pressure."
could you be a little more specific? lol
My favs.
Best main character dying: When Leon dies in the apartment in the movie "Leon"
Most stylish gunfight: The Lobby scene in the origional "Matrix" the 1st time I saw that movie I was in action film heaven.
Best Sword fight: Shu Lien Yu vs Jiao Long Yu (were Shu Lien ends up using evey type of weapon imaginable lol)
Best western shootout: The end battle in the movie "Purgatory" All the great dead western legends opt to go to damn themselves tohell in order to save a town.
Best against the odds Battle: 300 Spartans. If anyone knows of the Battle of Thermopylae in real life, well you get the point.
Best last stand battle: The battle for Earth scene in the Babylon 5 movie "In the Beginning" Where the people and nations of Earth fully knowning they are about to get totally and utterly pwned all join forces for one last battle to try to give the Evac tranports time to escape. Its really moving in that everyone and everything from the various Space navies of the world to space Luxury Liners, small personal space craft and garbage haulers all come out to make a GIANT last stand in a battle they know everyone will die in. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Saddest movie scene: I dont cry at movies but "Titanic" No not leo and kate screw that. Im mean when they show all the other people about to die, like that old couple in the bed. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Hey did anyone else know that that one 3rd class spanish/italian? mother who says something like "El capitan, el capitan where are the life boats or something like that shes holding a baby. Thats the same actress who plays alien M56 Smart Gunning Vasques in Aliens! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Best Sux 2 B U moment: Hmmm just because I recently saw it. That Umbrella Corp leader guy who gets thrown out of the helicopter at the end of the movie and ties to shoot himself but he has no more bullets in his gun dude. Resident Evil Apocalypse.
Best Oh look the famous world momument just died scene: Independence Day.
gg white house, and empire state building, and several others.
I'll vouch for the fact that this acctually happens, but I think I would go for the pediphile fox for the best scene from that movie <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Or maybe the half-hour fistfight from "They Live" when they both just keep getting up from this massive beating. It never seems to end!
Both absolutely horribly done in almost every respect, but both so utterly enjoyable.
Or the final fight with Father. That room is amazing.
The Hallway scene in The Matrix, from when Neo stands up to when the Agents run off.
That part in The Usual Suspects where Agent Kujan realises that Verbal was Keyser Soze all along.
The near-final scene in The Matrix revolutions, the Super Burly Brawl where Neodammerung plays.
The end of The Thing, where Macready and that other dude are stuck in the remains of the shed.
The final scene in the Truman Show... well most of the scenes anyway <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I loved that movie.
...
The end of the second battle with the samurai in The Last Samurai. I was nearly in tears.
- The Godfather; the death of Sonny.
- Apocalypse Now; helicopter assault on the beach.
There's so many other films, but that'll do for now.

<3 Davis.
EDIT : I also like the ending of Escape from LA, where SNake (HINTHINT!) activates some sort of global EMP device and pushes humanity back to the Dark Ages. WIN!
Also, stupid one, but the intro sequence to Dawn Of War (download the demo just for that one sequence, if you haven't already). It's amazing.
The final scene in the Truman Show... well most of the scenes anyway <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> I loved that movie. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
The Truman Show was FANTASTIC. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.
That movie was great.

lol!
that movie was on yesterday, none of my friends had ever seen that movie before and I made them watch it.
And yea they all agree, that huge loooooonnng and painful fight was indeed special.
"Iam here to chew nanites and kill Kahraa. And I'm all out of nanites."
No other scene has left me breathless. 3 times.

There's already a thread for that.
Also, i loved the battles at the end of Matrix Revolutions with the mechs. I'm a mech head at heart and seeing those little monkey-mechs fighting schools of flying Sentinels, it made the little mech inside of me jump for joy.
Under Siege 2, when Fatty Seagal falls off a cliff, another guy comes after him, only to find Fatty Seagal with a big smug grin on his face, looking like he's enjoying a pipe and a brandy halfway down a cliff, greeting him with "Hello!". I laughed so goddamn hard and i must've watched that over and over at least 20 times.
and keanu wakes up and then the camera pans out to show the billions and trillions of humans in incubator thingies.. omg for a skittish 10-12 year old, seeing that for the first time was genuinely creeeepy <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
