What is your all time favorite scene from a movie?
I think I would have to go with the trailer scene in "True Romance" between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper...classic.
Gary Oldman as "Drexl" in that movie was also awesome...but Oldman usually is.
Quoted from Eddie:As Profound as it gets!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never heard of this movie but I'm gonna give it a watch tonight
Some off the top of my head. Some spoilers for the following movies... The Graduate, Whiplash, The Hurt Locker, Saving Private Ryan, The Hustler, Seven, The Empire Strikes Back, Caddyshack, The Fugitive

The Graduate - the final scene. To me that last scene is really well done. They took a risk and broke conventions, but neither of them seems very certain why.
Whiplash - when Miles Teller has his first experience with JK Simmons in the jazz ensemble. JK forces him to announce he's "upset".
The Hurt Locker - the scene with the sniper. It was done so well, and while I'm only a civilian, I think it did a great job of capturing what that sort of situation may feel like. Also from the same movie, and another poignant moment - when the main character is back in the grocery store, standing amongst granola bars or something similar... it highlights how difficult it is for someone that's been through so much can have difficulty adjusting back to everyday life.
Saving Private Ryan - Normandy. That was one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen on film.
The Hustler - 10s of hours into a marathon game of straight pool. Minnesota Fats goes to the bathroom to wash his hands, dries them, and says "let's play pool, fast eddie". Fast Eddie by that point is full of confidence and booze, and Fats makes him pay for it.
Seven - "what's in the booox...!?"
The Empire Strikes Back - the attack on the Hoth base
Caddyshack - The whole damn thing.
The Fugitive - "I didn't kill my wife!", "I don't care"
This is the one I have watched the most, so it must be my favorite. I have watched it over and over and over, countless times. I have memorized every word. It never gets old. It is THE classic. The very definition of a meme forever buried into the subconscious of society, of a quotable movie scene, of a defining moment in movie history.
Quoted from Azmodeus:The ecstasy of gold at the end of good the bad and the ugly.
So sweet. Makes me want to learn an instrument.
This is what thay played at the Metallica concert just before Metallica comes out on stage this past year.
Partial to Gone in 60 seconds, this jump scene. 128 feet of air time.

This is the 1971 Mustang that was used in the film, although it was upgraded with 1973 parts for the movie. It does still run. H.B. Halicki was a genius.

Quoted from Darcy:Partial to Gone in 60 seconds, this jump scene. 100 plus feet of air time.
The whole movie is the chase scene. Gotta download that one and watch it again. Haven't watched it in years.
Quoted from Darcy:Gone in 60 seconds
No doubt! It sucks when they remake a great movie like that and never show the original on TV anymore.
This is a tough question for sure. I can go back and forth thinking of new ones all day long so, I'll just give the first one that comes to mind for me.
Superman (1978), the scene where Lois Lane's helicopter crashes on takeoff, she falls and supes catches her
'you've got me, who's got you?'
One of the most memorable scenes was in 1932 Freaks when the human torso was sliding on the ground chasing that dude with a knife in his mouth.

I gots ta know!
It is sad. George Bailey gets to work himself to an early grave so the rest of the town can have a good life.
I wish they would have told him that any left over covering the loss should be used for that trip he never got to take.
