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.

The gunfight outside the bank in HEAT.

Stand by me when they are singing on the rail tracks lollipop. I love that film so much.

The opening scene of Goodfellas

The Untouchables train station scene

I'm going to be remembering films all night now

Poetry. It's my favourite Christmas film ever.

It's very hard to pick a particular scene from some of my favourite films, but here goes:

The opening scene from The Sound of Music when the camera is panning over the stunning scenery of the Alps and then gradually we get closer and closer to the ground and there's Julie Andrews singing. Chokes me up every time.

The closing scene in The Godfather 2 when Al Pacino is standing alone gazing out over the lake with unseeing eyes and we all know he's thinking about Fredo.

The scene in The Godfather when Al Pacino meets Sollazzo and the corrupt police captain in an Italian restaurant, and he knows he has to kill them both.

Another scene in The Godfather 2 - Robert de Niro playing young Vito Corleone on his way to kill the local gangster while outside there's a religious procession going on.

The extended sequence filmed in Waterloo station in The Bourne Ultimatum.

Kind Hearts and Coronets - from a crowded field, I think I'd go for Alec Guinnessplaying one of his eight roles, in drag in a balloon throwing Suffragette leaflets down into the West End while Dennis Price aims his bow and arrow ready to shoot the balloon down. I shot an arrow in the air; she fell to earth in Berkeley Square.

The Maltese Falcon - Sydney Greenstreet and Humphrey Bogart meet for the first time. (Thank you IMDB for having a quotes section.)

• Kasper Gutman: You're a close-mouthed man?
• Sam Spade: Nah, I like to talk.
• Kasper Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.
• [sits back]
• Kasper Gutman: Now, sir. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.
• Sam Spade: Swell. Will we talk about the black bird?

Withnail and I: the teashop scene.

North by Northwest - the crop spraying scene.

Brief Encounter: all of it.

Probably been said but the end of Thelma and Louise

The crop duster plane scene in North by North West.

I'm a sucker for Hitchcock. The final scene of The Birds, too.

Ohhh I wanna watch them all now. Vertigo is my favourite but I can't think of a single scene. The whole thing is so atmospheric.

I hoped that someone else would say the end of Pride. When the miners turn up at the end it just makes me ugly cry every time.

So many and yet I can't think of a single bloody one!

The scene in American History X where Edward Norton turns to the police to be arrested in the street. It’s in slow motion and his expression is just really chilling.
I also love the scene in The Impossible where the boys are reunited. Makes me cry every time.

Was just about to post this scene!

my mind got expanded when Frank descended in the elevator

The scene in goodnight mr tom where he cycles down the hill and calls out ‘I can do it dad’ or something like that- so emotional

A Matter of Life and Death: I always hoped there would be dogs.

Where Eagles Dare: it's such a corny film but I love it. Probably the very end in the plane.

This & the end of Love Actually when members of the public are saying hello in Heathrow arrivals hall. I’m a sucker for a big hello at a transport hub.

Ever After also makes me cry every time. Just after the ball scene where Danielle appears looking like an actual angel.

The opening scene in Notting Hill where Hugh Grant is walking through the market and the seasons change.

Came here to see if anyone had said White Christmas. That scene gets me every time.

Gets me every time

Untamed heart the escalator scene

So many already mentioned, but I'll add the intro the Up! Just perfection

Plus, the scene in Amelie where she pieced together the letters from the landlady's love who went missing and every line had a different sound to it as it was from a letter written in different places and times. I missed it the first time round, but the second time I noticed it and just thought it was so subtle and clever.

The Casablanca Marseillaise.

The elves arriving at Helm’s Deep.

And the pre-credit scene of Tomorrow Never Dies - “ask the Admiral where he’d like the missiles delivered”.

The library scene in Wicked!

The opening scene from Up, and the end scene in ET - both had me blubbing like a baby.
The Twist and Shout scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off - just ridiculously uplifting and joyful.
The dinosaur reveal to Sam Neill and Laura Dern's characters. John William's music hits so perfectly in that moment to capture that wonder and awe of it all.

The scene in Don't Look Now when Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland are getting ready to go out, interspersed with shots of them tenderly making love. A long-time couple who know each other well and are grieving their dead child. Apparently caused a lot of controversy and rumours that they were't acting.

To name but a few 😂

• Eowyn tearing across the battlefield cutting down the war elephants and her fight with the Witch King in LOTR: Return of the King
• Bruce Willis fighting the Serial Killer and saving the children in Unbreakable. It's not at all like a superhero fight scene and totally about his discovery of himself and the soundtrack behind it is perfection.
• The rebels taking down Jabba The Hutt in Return of the Jedi and the ewok party at the end (original version only)
• Tom Cruise dancing and rapping in Tropic Thunder

Big love also for the Emma Thompson Love Actually Scene, the Irish Lady telling her children what happens when they die and the old couple cuddling on their bed as the ship floods in Titanic, Funky Town Shrek and Donkey scene in Shrek 2, Bruce Willis (again) saying goodbye to his wife at the end of the 6th Sense and the catapult scene in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves while Christian Slater ad libs in his own accent by accident in shock that the stunt worked 😂
