The final airplane hanger/shootout scene in Casablanca is up there for me.

The baptism scene from The Godfather is good as well.

And the special delivery scene from Se7en is gold. ;)

from the Burbs! I find those two line funny!

But I wouldn't call that my single most fav. Not sure, too much to think about.


It came with the frame. HAHA, that was a classic one, what about this one?

The fight in the treetops in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

That and the first action scene in Boondock saints, when he tosses the toilet off the roof and jumps at the same time to take out 2 guys.

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in a record listening booth in Before Sunrise. No, there's no sex, just a breathtaking amount of onscreen chemistry.

I always liked the scene in American Beauty where Kevin Spacey is lying there dead with that odd smile on his face. There are a few more scenes from that movie I really like as well.

There are a number of scenes in The Shawshank Redemption that'd be the best drama scene. For cool factor I'd have to say the bank robbery in Heat.

The Rat Race: The Hitler car scene (and come to think of it, the whole damn movie)
Buckaroo Banzai: "Why's there a watermelon there?" "Tell you later.." (and you had to love the fact that they were all such snappy dressers)
Princess Bride: "No more rhyming, I mean it!" "Anybody want a peanut?" (lots of good scenes in that movie, like the swordfighting scene)

Pulp Fiction:

when the eric stoltz character stabs Uma Therman's character in the chest with the needle... I never laughed out loud so hard in my life that scene was the best!.
