Post a movie scene which you believe was exceptionally done.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

This is a great scene from Star Trek II where Chekov and Terrell beam down to Ceti Alpha VI--err, I mean Ceti Alpha V--and Chekov suddenly realizes that he's come across Kirk's old nemesis Khan.

The entire Ceti Alpha V scene was so well done from front to end. You have a feeling of uneasiness turning quickly to dread, conveyed well in Chekov's panic, turning quickly to horror as you see Khan's crew standing outside silently, waiting for them. And then you have Khan slowly reveal himself. Plus James Horner's foreboding score.

1. The cemetery scene from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

It doesn't get much better than this

[Saboburns]

2. John Hurt monologue (the proposition)

[Callmecrazy]

3. The greatest monologue in movie history...

The Sicilian scene from True Romance

Chilling

[Ino]

20. One of my favorites!

Also the Gandolfini/Arquette fight in that movie was pretty intense.

[Callmecrazy]

31. Yes it WAS!

[geardaddy]

27. That was a good one.

[NightWatcher]

4. Sure it's violent, but the bank robbery and shootout scene from Heat

It was loud and gritty, just the way that shootouts are in real life. There's nothing glorifying about the scene as it attempts to show what really happens in an urban shootout. Innocents are hit, guns jam, and there's confusion. There are no silver bullet magic shots.

[Callmecrazy]

5. Michael Mann at his finest.

[panader0]

6. Opening scene from "A Touch of Evil"

[progressoid]

18. I love a well done uncut scene.

The overuse of rapid cuts and the shaky camera today drives me nuts.

[rug]

7. "Where are you going?"

[CBGLuthier]

8. Godfrey Cambridge from The President's Analyst

About the day he learned about the n word

[kwassa]

36. I loved "The President's Analyst"!

Nobody knows this film!

Thank you for posting. Now I'll have to put the movie in my Netflix queue.

[cemaphonic]

16. The two eponymous scenes from "Miller's Crossing"

Not posting because of spoilers, but those are some amazingly tense scenes.

Even though the rest of the movie is kinda so-so, the minecart scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has got to be one of the best action sequences ever filmed.

[progressoid]

19. The opening scene of The Big Chill

The library scene from Wings of Desire:

There are a bunch in Lawrence of Arabia too.

[Arugula Latte]

21. The last scene of The Shawshank Redemption

[Xyzse]

23. I watched this movie in IMAX 3D

Needless to say, it shrank inwards and I couldn't find it till the next day.

[Yavin4]

25. Heath Ledger's Joker pokes his head out of police car (The Dark Knight)

Heath made the Joker feel real to me. This scene is only 10 seconds long, but it's genius.

[UglyGreed]

28. I just watched Crash 2004

the other night for the first time and what a rollercoaster ride of human emotions.

29. "Just in a general sorta way."

[jakeXT]

30. One take scenes fascinate me

Take Mikhail Kalatozov's 1964 masterpiece I Am Cuba, whose rooftop party (the whole thing is great, but the quoted sequence starts around 2:30) was paid tribute in Boogie Nights (oddly enough, also from 2:30 on):

&feature=player_embedded

Young Anderson's films were drunk with movement, and frequent and exuberant use of the Steadicam (though, it should be noted, I Am Cuba was made in 1964, about fifteen years before the invention of the Steadicam). Boogie Nights is a prime example, from the aforementioned pool party to the opening sequence, and its resemblance to Goodfellas' legendary Copacabana long-take. (The Boogie Nights sequence below also makes use of another Scorsese device, namely the slow-motion closeup, seen to great effect in other scenes in Goodfellas, and, famously, in Raging Bull.)
