Not your favourite film necessarily, just scenes.
This could have been one of many.
NSFW BTW
good call, woops.
Definitely NSFW, unless you are a badass hitman.
Has to be the 'Ride Of The Valkyries' scene in Apocalypse Now?
Or the grenade through the letterbox scene in Mr Jolly Lives Next Door. Classic!
The view thru the door, epic.
This,
this,
Or the shower scene from An American Werewolf In London.
The biggest fast-forward in cinematic history?
Arni, I need your...

Fifth Element, Zorg presents the ZF1
Roy Batty's "Tears in Rain" soliloquy - [b]Blade Runner[/b]
Chris Taylor's ending speech regarding who the enemy was and Elias and Barnes fighting for his soul - [b]Platoon[/b]

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe"
The dialogue between Fassbender's Bobby Sands and Liam Cunningham's Father Moran in [i]Hunger[/i]. Also contains one of my favourite (well, not in an enjoyable way) other scenes, the mopping out of the corridor between the cells in H-Block during the dirty protests. Art house cinema at its best.
Ahhh True Romance, that needs rewatching.
[i]Get some beeer.... And some cleaning products![/i]
Opening scene (and several that follow) of Betty Blue? def. NSFW though.
from 4.30
I gotta agree with the Pulp Fiction and Blade Runner ones above: Two of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
I'd also throw in:
Opening scene of Contact...
Fight scene in the castle in the second Matrix film, beautiful set piece.
The first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan (storming the beach)
"i'm on top of the world ma"
Specifically 4:36
Utterly hilarious 😀
The duel scene - [b]The Good, the Bad and the Ugly[/b]
Restaurant breakfast scene - [b]Falling Down[/b]
"You can't handle the truth" (bit cheesy, I know) - [b]A Few Good Men[/b]
All scenes with Don Logan - [b]Sexy Beast[/b]
Hoth
I have always loved this too
bit of comedy
The Omen, Nannies Death Scene... 😐
Tough one.
"bitches leave"
Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade "leap of faith"
Opening scene from blade. Fantastic.
For atmosphere and visuals lots of bits of Blade Runner, think I actually prefer where Roy is stalking Deckard through the building to his final speech.
More recently, the church massacre in Kingsman totally blew me away in terms of an action scene - but then I think Matthew Vaughan is the total master of film fighting right now.
The escape in Sideways and the back seat in Pulp Fiction.
fight scenes this is one of my faves
Talking of gun vs knife:
The scene in Leon where he takes an axe to wall to escape Sansfield, intense doesn't cover it.
This has everything...
For me it has to be the village helicopter assault in Apocalypse Now. Even now it sets the hairs on my neck up.
Blade runner also gets a mention for the final scene with Roy, as does the "Say hello to my little friend" scene in Scarface.
Maybe not my favorite but love the bits where Steve from Shameless uses the guy from The Hustle as a human shield with a gun through his brain.
Two reasons:
1. 'Oh he's got an arm off!'
and
2. Nick Frost's angry face at the end. Makes me laugh everytime.
any martin Scorsese film where there is a long tracking shot with a bar and some classic rock, where a main character decides that his friends are his problem.
Or
the opening of Lawrence of Arabia
And how could I forget!
Ah. Speshpaul agrees.
From the directors cut I think.
Gunfights you say?
Or maybe The Matrix lobby scene?
willardOr maybe The Matrix lobby scene?
Mixed feelings about the Matrix. I remember seeing it in the cinema so clearly, and how impressed I was by it. Not by the bullet time, more how the Wachowskis had blended so many modern pop culture archetypes into one awesome sauce and it was perfect. As if they'd done a Tarantino of sci fi and action genre tropes.
Sadly, that memory is sullied and spat on by a thousand pale imitators and worst of all, the Wachowski's own Matrix sequels and subsequent output 🙄
Since I'm pretty sure Sanjuro is my favourite film of all time I'll put in a scene from that ...I can't find an english version of this scene but it speaks for itself.
a fight scene from a more recent film that impressed me for very different reasons...Ip Man has just seen his countryman executed by the japanese for no good reason. Ass kicking ensues.
When Rachel finds out she's a Replicant. Breaks my heart!
The beverage scene where 'nothing is f****d'
As Good As it Gets
No steeenkin' badges!
Casablanca La Marseillaise
The montage scene from the Parallax View, I was tripping when I first saw it.
Perhaps not the coolest scene in cinematic history but back in 1965, in Cinema scope, Julie Andrews coming over that Alpine hill in the Sound of Music.
Sadly, that memory is sullied and spat on by a thousand pale imitators and worst of all, the Wachowski's own Matrix sequels and subsequent output
Er, there was only one Matrix, I'm quite sure of that. Definitely no second or third films.
The thread ender, right here...

Are you gonna argue semantics or are you just trying to forget? Understandable.
A fair few of those already mentioned but two from Leon stand out, both involving Gaty Oldman/Stansfield. The 'Beethoven' scene is mental but I also like this short but sweet classic:

Robert Shaw's USS Indianapolis scene from Jaws.
End scene of Fight Club, just for the music.
(And the picture of a cock which made me LOL in the cinema)
Lots of good ones so far.
Rear Window
Are you gonna argue semantics or are you just trying to forget?
Trying to forget.
Great film
Just for balance from my last film
Linda Blair's head spinning around in The Excorcist.
I think this one must have the record for giving more people bruised nuts than any film
I don't know about quantity, but I think Jet Li certainly does more quality testicle violence in this scene (paying homage to Bruce from Fists of Fury)
"She's standing right next to you"
Bond never got anywhere close to this.
