Spoiler alert

Sixth sense when you find out he is a ghost.

Witness - when they dance in the garage to music on the car radio
Dirty Dancing - practicing the routine with a topless Patrick Swayze fans self
Lord of the Rings - the Battle of Helms Deep.

i like the bit in close encounters when he goes a bit nuts building the mountain and it then appears on the telly.

and aliens when they are escaping the alien at the end and trying to make it to the escape ship

highbrow me

My Cousin Vinnie - when Marisa Tomei is on the witness stand
Love Actually - when Hugh Grant talks to the portrait of Maggie Thatcher
The Blind Side - any time Sandra Bullock is on the screen

Out of Sight - the scene in the boot of the car outside the prison . Actually, pretty much any scene from that film.

Bridesmaids - when the main character who used to own a cake shop takes hours to make the most beautiful little cupcake (seems sacrilegious to call it a cupcake, that's how gorgeous it is) and sits and bites into this lonely little cupcake in her lonely kitchen. Vair poignant.

Hearts

yes, Marisa Tomei on the witness stand! plus the deer bit. aahhh the whole film is awesome anyway. love Pesci in it (discrediting the old lady - arf arf )

Love Actually - Colin Firth "Buenita Aurelia" speech. so lovely

Casablanca - we'll always have Paris......(swoon)

Bridesmids - when she taunts him to arrest her driving in the car back in front... I laughed so much

Atonement - the Dunkirk scene. About 5 minutes of continuous tracking.

Railway children - Daddy, my Daddy.

Dambusters - the final scene when Guy Gibson and Barnes Wallis discuss the raid, he walks away and the music starts.

Ice Cold in Alex - the bit where they push the truck up the desert hill and it rolls down again.

Manon Des Sources - when Manon finds the stream has been blocked.

The French Connection - subway scene with Popeye Doyle and the Frog.
All The President's Men - late night conversation between Woodward & Bernstein and Bradley outside Bradley's house.
The Shawshank Redemption - the very end when Andy reunites with Red .
12 Angry Men - When Henry Fonda's character says "I want another vote".
The Snapper - pretty much any scene with Des Curley in it. Colm Meaney should have won an Oscar for that role.

In The Sound of Music when the captain joins in singing Eidelweiss.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Indiana Jones kills the Arab swordsman with a single, well-aimed bullet.

The Life of Brian, the whole thing actually, but especially -
"Yes, we are all individuals! ....I'm not."

Pulp fiction - Bruce choosing a weapon....so much braver than me.

Kill Bill1, the death of O Ren Ishii

Spirted away, No face in the bath house

LOTR, seeing Bilbos home....God I still want one!

The Hobbit, Smaug..."you have nice manners for a thief and a lair!"

The Grand Budapest Hotel...."oh fuck it!" Or anything by Wes!

The final scene in Point Break where Johnny (Keanu) releases Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) to go surfing one last time in the 30 year storm on Bells beach, Australia. "I'm not gonna paddle to New Zealand" and "He's not coming back". Fantastic.

The Exorcist- Head spin
Jaws - We're gonna need a bigger boat
Apocalypse Now - The dawn helicopter attack to the sound of The ride of the valkyries
Kes - the football lesson

I keep remembering more

Indiana Jones shooting the guy in the market

Money Train - when the teens try to mug Woody and Wesley

Saving Private Ryan - the opening beach invasion scene

A Few Good Men - Jack Nicholson on witness stand the 2nd time

I must add that in two of my favourite films ( Dangerous Liasons - Malkovich & Pfeiffer and Of Mice and Men (Malkovich & Sinise) there are so many wonderful scenes I couldn't even choose just one

CP

yes, epic one

They all a bit dark really , will think of some lighter ones

The bit in Gladiator where Russell Crowe reveals who he is to the Emporer. Husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son, etc. Brilliant.

Much Ado About Nothing (Brannagh, Thompson, Washington, Rickman) - opening sequence and the troubadour singing "Sigh no more"

Goodfellas, when Henry and Karen go into the club and the camera tracks them through the kitchen (with Ray Liotta bumping into an oven) and ends with them at a table right by the stage.

Field of Dreams, when his dad turns round and takes his headgear off.

Serendpitiy when John Cusack is lying on the ice rink and the glove falls from the air

Oh and Pretty Woman. "Big mistake. Huge "

The my scar is bigger than your scar scene in Jaws
The end of Roman Holiday when Gregory Peck walks away

Baby and Johnny doing the lift, in dirty dancing.
