I like a good set-piece shoot-em-up.

The bank heist in 'Heat'.
The RPG attack in 'Clear and Present Danger'.
The shoot-out at the end of the Wild Bunch (and 'the walk' that leads up to it).
The shoot-out in the station in 'The Untouchables'.
Neo and Trinity and "lots of guns" in 'The Matrix'.
Shoot-out in the supermarket in 'Grosse Point Blank'.
Showdown at 'The House of Blue Leaves' in 'Kill Bill'.
Showdown in 'The Yakuza'.

'The Yakuza' - don't know why it popped into my head (probably a connect from Kill Bill) but only hours after I posted my list:

The Volleyball scene in Top Gun.

"What colour is the boathouse?"

Mmm hard one this but after lot's of thought I would have to say the end of 'Last of the Mohicans' the scenery, the emotion, the fantastic score, does not get better than that.

Oh yes, stunning.

From the moment Uncas makes his move to save Alice to the camera circling Magua and Chingachgook at the end. Awesome.

Seems like a long time since this was last on TV.

Made all the better by the stunning music. Utterly amazing scene:

And on the same basis (music) I have to nominate "The Search For Arch Stanton" graveyard scene from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly:

In fact the next scene, where the 3 protagonists face-off to each other is also worthy:

Cinema at it's most epic, the way the music ramps up a gear after Alice jumps gets the old heart pumping like no other film.
I urge everyone who has not seen 'Last of the Mohicans' to order it now, you will probably get it for under a fiver, modern classic.

Yup, and that side shot at the end always gets me - foes face to face.

Heat - bank robbery scene.

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

That scene is to shoot outs what Bullitt is to car chases.

Pulp Fiction - pretty much pick any part.

Saving Private Ryan - The landing

If you'd included any scene from Inglorious Basterds this post would be the closer .

Orphan- When 9years old Esther uncover his truth.

[Pebbles167]

There are so many films I could probably choose... so ill just go with something I watched again recently.

The opening to Blade Runner. Must be watched with the music.

first watched it at uni in common room with 20 pissed up students-everyone went quiet for the end-says it all
gangs of new york/wolf of wall street/man on fire and my personal favourite excalibur from 1970's-music and acting is superb
