In Unforgiven, when Clint Eastwood kills everybody in the bar. Especially when he says: (paraphrased)
"He should have armed himself if he wanted to display my friends body outside..."
and before killing Gene Hackman, he says" it's got nothing to do with deserves"

There were some really awesome scenes in that flick.

"Don't you think that you should grab one of those M16's?"
"Not to worry. After the fighting starts there'll be plenty of them laying around."

"Broken arrow."

*picking the burned soldier up by the calfs* *shudder*

Also, with the wives there were some great scenes. The 'whites only' scene, and the delivery of the telegrams. Truly magnificint

That book and movie are both excellent. Hal Moore is a tough, old bird.

Lots of scenes in Boondock Saints, but someone has got to agree with me on the techno seen in Blade. That is frikin awesome. I def agree with gladiator, braveheart, and usual suspects though. and matrix, holy crap loby scene is the best.

Oh another is the scene in Snatch where the gypsies kill all the people waiting in the van and Pitt kills Bricktop(think that was his name?). There are others in Snatch as well.

Even though the movie Behind Enemy Lines was decent at best, the scene where the two missles chase the Jet was intense!!!

It's been a looooong time since I seen this (I think it was Die Hard 1 or 2?) but there's this scene where Bruce Willis stabs a dude through the eye with an icicle. That was badass.
