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.

Emma Thompson bedroom, smoothing the bed down. Love Actually

I’m a bit of a film buff and generally hate Love Actually but this scene is outstanding. There’s something that she captures that resonates with all of us. It pulls the heart strings like no other scene I can think of in any movie.

Oh, I’ve just thought of another, and it’s bloody Richard Curtis again!

The “stop all the clocks” scene in 4 weddings.

Secretariat - when he thunders round the final corner and “Oh Happy Day” notches up a lump.
I sob every time.

Oh and if you haven’t watched Jimmy Cagney tap dancing down the steps of the White House in Yankee Doodle Dandy, you haven’t lived.

Final scene in the Italian Job and the coach is hanging over a ravine

Oh dear god when Michael Caine gives Beaker his scarf in A Muppet Christmas Carol I fall apart like a cheap watch every single time.

When one is tired of A Muppet Christmas Carol, one is tired of life.

I agree. I’m not a fan of the film but that scene is so moving, especially with the Joni Mitchell song. The way she comes out of the bedroom acting happy is heartbreaking.

A sequence in a film that I love is the baseball sequence in The Naked Gun with I Love LA playing. Just makes you feel good.

Great question op.

Owes a lot to the Shakespeare St Crispin’s Day speech in Henry V.

Gets me every time! So much of this film is moving - still a classic.

Also Return of the King for me, but the scene with the lighting of the beacons. The music, the scenery... Gives me goosebumps!

And a very different film, the final dance scene in Strictly Ballroom. "Will Scott Hastings and partner please leave the floor!!". Always makes me cry.

I adore everything about this film.

The scene where Sam Neil cuts off Holly Hunter’s finger 😵😵😵

The St Crispins Day speech itself when Richard Brannagh jumps onto the cart, " ....... let him have crowns in his pocket ......". I would probably have taken the crowns and gone home.

Yeees agree with these scenes too!

I meant Kenneth Branagh, better even than Laurence Olivier version.

My favourite movie!

So many great scenes, but when Rhonda and Muriel meet Tanya on Hibiscus island, and Rhonda tells her to stick her drink up her arse, she’s with Muriel….

When Charlotte Honeychurch is kissed in the poppy field in Tuscany in A Room With A View

bit of a romantic, I love the scene in Pride & Prejudice when Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) is walking through the morning mist to see Elizabeth and you hear her sigh, plus the music.

The end of the Graduate when, Dustin Hoffman bangs on the window in the church, a fight breaks out and Simon and Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" is played, and he finally gets the girl and they run away on a yellow bus. It was on last night, I must have seen it at least 10 times.

The Marseillaise scene in Casablanca

Yvonne weeping as she sings.

And 'Major Strasser has been shot........ round up the usual suspects'.

I keep thinking of more.

The final courtroom scene in A Few Good Men.

The barn dance in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Colonel Brandon rescuing Marianne in Sense and Sensibility.

Also agree with Titanic hitting the iceberg, so tense.

Now I really want to watch all these films!

Empire of the Sun - the scene when Jim (young Christian Bale) breaks down in the camp , "I can't remember what my parents look like.”

Withnail and I when Richard E. Grant recites Hamlet’s soliloquy to the wolves.

Brassed Off - all of it, really, but Concerto d’Orange Juice and Danny Boy especially.

Mercutio’s death in Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, although the whole film is a master class in cinematography.

The end of the film Gallipoli 😭

Toy Story 3: the incinerator scene when all the toys hold hands in the belief that this is their final moment. Gets me every time

Godfather part 1: any scene with Michael and Apollonia - a lifetime of if onlys if she hadn’t been killed. Al Pacino speaks to me with his eyes in every scene

Mine is where she says ‘I miss him, I miss him, I miss him ‘
I used to count the tears dropping off her nose
