Movie Theater Needs some action... The top Ten Movie Scenes of All Time. What is yours?

[sirhrmechanic]

I'm just going to post my vote for any position in the top 5. Maybe number 1. But, hey, there's some good scenes out there.



You don't have to post a link... just describe it if you want. Looking forward to discovering some new movies out of this! No restrictions on Genre, era or TV/Movie. Miami Vice and Magnum have scenes as great as North by Northwest or Dr. No.

Cheers!

I remember often when life is tough that this is an opportunity for it to be my finest hour....

Love this scene Ed Harris kills it

 

[animaldoc]

Several memorable scenes in this movie, this is my favorite.

 

[BCP]

No particular order but 10 great scenes:

1) Wild Bunch ending shootout.

2) Blazing Saddles “sheriff’s coming!”

3) The final “D Day invasion” battle in Wizards

4) Old Star Wars when Darth Vader first appears

5) Bullitt chase

6) the “Do you feel lucky” 44mag Dirty Harry scene

7) Escape LA when Snake Plissken switches off the whole planet, finds a pack of American Spirit cigarettes and lights one, watching the match burn

8) Intolerable Cruelty - Wheezy Joe gun/inhaler

9) HEAT big shootout

10) Terminator - “I’ll Be Back”

Not sure what my favorite scenes are but if you don't know this channel you are missing out.

Go into their playlists. Art of the scene has some good ones in it. Their Cinefix Movie Lists have some good ones in lots of categories. They show lots of movies in the categories that didn't make the list as well.

Wow, these are all great. I have seen all but "Wizards," and since I liked other Ralph Bakshi stuff, I am going to watch that next.

[acudaowner]

"Nobody" bus scene. Makes me laugh every time.

The staircase scene with Maria Bello in "A History of Violence" was decent action:

 

[theLBC]

hmm, rather than post a clip from josey wales or some other film that every true patriot has seen many times, i will post something obsure from a movie most of you probably have not watched. it is a good one to watch with a significant other.

 

[davsco]

Act of Valor when they were rescuing the cia lady and hit the water with their team in boats totally unloading on the drug lords. actually the whole movie was pretty damned awesome.

and yeah, the Heat shootout scene.

The Kingdom at the end when the terrorists took one of the FBI guys and the frantic chase to get him before it was too late.

Wizards is 'interesting.'

Good stuff if you're a sci-fi/fantasy geek like I am

One of the more underrated Westerns in my opinion is Tom Horn. Love this scene. Cattle Rustling will no longer be tolerated.

"Nobody" bus scene. Makes me laugh every time.

That is a fun movie!!!

You can't do comedy like this today!

Mel Brooks - Jesus!

[Doctorwho1138]

Probably the most alpha male scene in cinema history

 

[Doctorwho1138]

Another favorite of mine

 

[Father O’blivion]

Josey Wales meets Ten Bears. Something ought to link the scene…

 

[Ronws]

 

[Doctorwho1138]

This is probably the most romantic exchange in cinematic history
