What is your favourite scene in any movie?

[ClassicStripe]

Mine is in Titanic (1997). The immediate aftermath of the ship hitting the iceberg and the reaction to it. I have seen the
film more times than I can count but bit still takes my breath away.

Brad Pitt with the hairdryer in T&L. Oooof!

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, with the shop assistants. Julia Roberts in Erin Brocovich recalling the telephone numbers, also her explaining how she got the signatures with sexual favours and the final scene where she thinks she's being short changed with her bonus and then she sees the cheque.
Also the final scene in Billy Elliot.

And one more if I may, is the scene in Champions where Aldaniti is brought back to Josh Giffords yard and Bob Champion ( played by the wonderful John Hurt) says you took your bloody time. Que tears from me every time.

Superb acting of the dad!

the Buffalo Hunt in Dances with Wolves, v exciting, music by John Barry

Denys Finch Hatton Flying Karen Blixen over the Savannah (Redford and Streep)
in Out of Africa, music by John Barry

the retreat/Warrior song of the Zulu - film music John Barry

Adam Cooper’s grand jete of joy wordlessly closing Billy Elliott, fantastic,
Some Like it Hot Osgood’s blase ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ line, never bettered,

its also symbolic (water under the bridge)

Last of the Mohicans - The scene behind the waterfall where Hawkeye promises to find Cora.

Arrival -the montage scene with her daughter Hannah at the end of the film.

Bridesmaids - when they go dress shopping. Makes me laugh every time.

The end of Don’t Look Now when the meteorite strikes and they all sit round the family table holding hands.

I know. Sian became an MP!

There’s the scene where they’re buttering bread and Cliff says he’s gay and she says she’s known for years. So beautifully done.

Although there is talk about a release on streaming services as the rights have been acquired elsewhere, can't find any updates though.

ETA....actually it seems that you can now buy or rent it on certain sites including Prime Video.

"I seem to have got a little plastered!"

Indeed!

"three scenes in Gattaca. When Vincent's brother asks him how he can keep swimming and he says he never saves anything for the swim back. The scene with Jude Law and the incinerator. Then right at the end when the doctor gives advice about how he should pee."

Such a good film. Good acting esp Jude Law

He is a genius! He wrote the screenplay for The Killing Fields about the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. Such an emotionally devastating and bleak film.

but Tom Hiddleston is better than Branagh

It's an impossible question, OP.

One I remember -Omar Sharif being a little dot in the shimmering distance and padding forward until he becomes a man on a camel. Lawrence of Arabia. I once watched a programme about David Lean and he talked about the his job of deciding how long to hold the shot so that you don't lose the attention of the audience.

The final surfing scene at Bells beach in Point Break. ‘He’s not coming back.’
The stoning scene - The Life of Brian
Charlie finding the golden ticket - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the original)

The scene in Shawshank Redemption when you realise that Andy has escaped
through the hole behind the poster.

The Sound of Music - 'and somewhere out in that garden is someone who, I think, will never be a nun'

we watched a programme about him, at home at work, he seemed an intense man,
he based Uncle Monty on Zefferelli, who had propositioned him whilst filming
Romeo and Juliet

I remember the wolves in the compound abutting Regents Park, silent and slinking,
they are not there now.
W&I is one of our Christmas films, we never tire.
The “who is the *** in the bath” line still makes me choke, as though Ive never heard it so many times.
brilliant film

I couldn’t watch The Killing Fields, being a cissy and a fainter but I remember
the accolades

Oh and the scene in Coda where Emilia Jones is singing Both Sides Now at the audition and signing it for her deaf family watching from the circle.

I nearly quoted this scene! we watched LoA in three parts last week
this scene was mesmerising
then after causing mayhem he rides away

”we have taken Aqqaba” - unforgettable line

Talking of Erin Brockovich. Love it where Albert Finney tells her she's been making the office staff feel uncomfortable with her risqué clothes. She says well I think I look nice and so long as I've got one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like 😆 🤣 or words to that effect.

@Madamefroufrou “he based Uncle Monty on Zefferelli, who had propositioned him whilst filming Romeo and Juliet”

I’ve read about that. He was only 21 when he filmed Romeo and Juliet. It was his first role.

I love the final scene in Billy Elliott but feel irrationally annoyed that the actor playing the adult Billy stretches his neck like a million times during it. For some reason it really irritates me. I have to ignore that and focus on the other characters / actors who are wonderful.

Enjoyable thread bringing back many movie memories. Also Erin Brockovich when Danny Devitos character asks Erin where is everyone and she replies the “the girls all went to lunch” and he says in his great DD deadpan way…aren’t you one of the girls?
