1. The sword fight

from Rob Roy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEtPluUi0_U

Fight choreographer William Hobbs considers it his best work and Roger Ebert called it one of the great action sequences in movie history.

4. Liam looks twice as big...

as Tim, and, supposedly, he is :)

[pokerfan]

6. apparently his sword is....

And so was his Claymore! (see what I did there?)

[Duer 157099]

3. Kenneth Branagh, in the garden, in "Much Ado About Nothing". So funny.

Some reviewer called him "a human question mark" for that scene.

7. Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in a FANTASTIC scene from a not-so-great movie...

.
.
.
... "True Romance" (pretty GOOD movie, but not great).
.
.
.
CAUTION: FREQUENT USE OF THE N-WORD
.
.
.
Walken is a mobster's "counsel" (enforcer) who is looking for Hopper's son (Christian Slater)
because Slater "stole" a suitcase full of coke from one of the enforcer's couriers (Gary
Oldman -- in an almost equally great role as a pusher/pimp). Watch Hopper's face for the
moment he realizes that under almost certain inhuman torture, he will give up his son and
decides to commit suicide by infuriating Walken. Sorry for the N-word, but it's appropriate
to the scene and I don't believe I've even seen anything in any movie that comes close to
this intensity and sublime acting -- by both these two giants inspiring the other.

11. Yes - intense scene

and always thought the movie was pretty good.
Arquette's scene in the motel room with "Tony Soprano" was something else too.

12. My FAVE movie MFM -- I'm so glad you brought it up!

And you're right. Maybe the best showdown on film. And the eggplant/cantaloupe lines were improvised.

22. Love it.

10. King Arthur

the one with Clive Owen as Arthur. When he is sent to rescue the Romans living in the North he discovers they have enslaved the local people. He yells, "What madness is this!" Powerful scene He then threatens the high ranking Roman and rescues the locals as well.

The battle scene on the frozen lake in that movie is incredible too. Also the final battle scene is very thrilling.
Great movie and a must see for all idealists.

15. That scene in Say Anything

Where John Cusack's character is in the park with the boombox playing Peter Gabriel...

[NewJeffCT]

26. good scene

forgot about that one

[TBA]

16. I love the scene in The Color Purple

where Oprah's character confronts Ceile about Harpo beating her. More amazing that Oprah did it in one take.

Followed by general mayhem.

18. The first thing that popped into my mind was this scene from "Oliver!"

The Artful Dodger introduces Oliver Twist to London. It's absolutely amazing.

21. Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

:evilgrin:

[Lindsey]

23. ...been recently watching Shawshant Redemtion so the scene

with Andy (Tim Robbins) raising his hands up in the rain after he's just escaped gets me every time. Also, the dialogue "get busy livin' or get busy diein'- (for some reason I've been watching this movie every day). It's just so inspirational....

[rrneck]

24. It's one of my faves.

And I hear you.

25. The Baptism scene at the end of 'The Godfather'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOES-dS0pG0

I'm not religious at all, but this scene was awesome with the baptism in the church interspliced with the killing of the other dons.

[LibDemAlways]

32. Agreed, that was an incredible scene. Also loved the

scene where the camera slowly dollies in on Michael as he explains his plan to kill Sollozzo and the corrupt cop. At that moment he joins the family business. Terrific acting by Al Pacino.

[Joe Fields]

27. The fight scene in Blazing Saddles

[jmowreader]

28. The surfing sequence in "Apocalypse Now"

Start where Kilgore finds out there are six-foot waves off Vien Dien Lop and end at the napalm monologue.

[UTUSN]

29. GWTW,where Scarlet & the Doc are in close-up & she's demanding he come tend to Melanie's birth

and he says, I cAN'T COMe right now, Sacarlet and she sais, you HVA to, and He says he's busy and she says he's gootta come!1

And then the camera moves OUT from the close-up AND we see the thousands of wounded souldiers (waiting for the doctor's medical attention... )
