Ditto from "A Bridge Too Far" - the take-off sequence and also the armoured column starting up and moving off.

And also from "Zulu" the unforgettable " Front rank FIRE (relooaaddd....) middle rank FIRE )relooaaddd......) rear rank FIRE.... and so on.......

on further reflection I love the scene in Guns of Navarone where they are on the island about to go and David Niven and Gregory Peck face off - very strong anti war themes juxtaposed with individual responsibilities of leadership and doing bad things on a small scale interspersed with impending heroism.

in my top ten films of all time.

The surprise of the chest bursting scene in Alien.

[XCP]

The bar scene at the end of 'Ice Cold In Alex'.

The start of the race in Le Mans (1971) with McQueen in the car and the heartbeat rising as the flag goes down, followed by the bark of everything starting up.

THIS.

Nothing else has ever or will ever capture so perfectly the atmosphere of the start of a motor race. Incredible.

Deffo this ^^^ all this ^^^

Heat - bank robbery scene.

The shoot out in that scene is my favourite of any film I've watched.

The audio is completely raw and unedited too. It is this that set the scene apart from other shoot out scenes.

I'm surprised this thread is still going as the winner is named in the second reply...The 'Sicilians' scene in True Romance IS the greatest film scene ever....Period!

Glad he got the Oscar for this great film

Just before the end of Paris, Texas (in the cubicle). It's about 10 minutes long and all talk, but mesmerising.

When Watts and Keith kiss in Some kind of wonderful. I'm a sucker for those 1908s John Hughes films.

The opening of Star Wars as the massive Imperial ship enters the shot.

I've been disappointed with a lot of films of late that have either a poor ending, or more accurately no ending at all.

So I was delighted when in Django Unchained we are treated to a biblical wrath-bringing at the end of the movie. Best western since "Open Range" I think, and I am not generally a fan of QT either.

Another candidate for best scenes ever must be "You're gonna need a bigger boat", surely?

Six pages and no mention of that scene from Basic Instinct.

PH is slipping.

Slight deviation, but the best chase scene for me is the on-foot chase through all the gardens in Point Break. Even I was panting after that scene...

[drivin_me_nuts]

The scenes for me that are the greatest are those that create a resonance and trigger a deeper response. I'm a sucker for wide panoramic views and saturated colours of the big screen, but for me, story telling is all.

The girl in the red coat, the moment you realise she is dead - do I even need to name the film? Very powerful film with quite a few scenes that are compelling, sickening viewing in their rendering of human excess and depravity.

I find it a film I can no longer watch - and that scene, it leaves me feeling troubled for days as I can't shake the red colour from my mind. Equally though, it is one of the few films I have watched that has left me with nothing but the deepest admiration and respect for those for whom bravery is not a tabloid exageration, but an absolute matter of life and death. 'Story telling' at its very best.

Jack Nicholson again in from "Five Easy Pieces".

Speaking of girls in red coats - the last few minutes of "Don't Look Now".
