Rebellious streak - TV! - the last episode of Only Fools and Horses. The one when they sell the watch. There weren't any episodes after that one. Just like there were no matrix sequels. Anyway, when Rodney buys Del that Rolls Royce "It's just to say... thanks..."

Leon - the moment before he blows himself and Gary Oldman up.

One of my favourite films of all time. (Nothing to do with a mate comparing me to him because I could sleep sitting up ).

To go to the other end of the spectrum...the opening sequence in Up.

[Murph7355]

(Just noticed how old this thread is!).

Another...

Gallipoli - most of the movie tbh...but especially the scene where Albinoni's Adagio in G is played.

[Voldemort]

You expect me to talk?
No Mr Bond, I expect you to die.

I thank you.

[Roofless Toothless]

This scene from John Huston's The Searchers, where John Wayne and Ward Bond wade across the creek. It gives me the shivers it is so beautiful.

"Is that everyone?"

"You wanted more?!"

[Cotty]

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next."

I think I've seen it twice, so difficult to recall, but I still recall when Cap is beaten, shield is fked, he's bleeding and hurting and he grits his teeth and stands up to walk towards the enemy, I think it's just before the bit you say.

[dalzo]

The end of saving private Ryan as private Ryan is saluting the graves of those sent to save him

The matrix:
When Morpheus was captured by the agents and breaks out the handcuffs as neo is minigunning the agents before he jumps out the helicopter to catch him

Terminator 2 when John Connor is being chased on the dirt bike and Arnie jumps into the drainage ditch on the Harley,shotgun in hand

Also t2 when arnie sacrifices him self into the smelter and gives the thumbs up

“Warriors come out to play-eeeee”

So many more which I’m sure I’ll remember

[slopes]

The two moments that always spring to mind for me are from the same film.

Star Wars

It's 1977, i'm 10 years old and go to Leicester to see this on a big screen for the very first time and the bit where the Star Destroyer starts to fill the whole screen made me excited

but my all time favourite bit in a film

When the hatch door explodes and the Storm Troopers burst through firing.

In that 5 second shot i wanted to be a Storm Trooper

[Watchman]

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - the search for Arch Stanton's grave with the Ecstasy of Gold played loud.

For a Few Dollars More -

The showdown at the end between the Colonel and Indio. As the tune on the watch Indio has slows and ends, Clint appears and opens the one he has to continue the tune.

Most of Once Upon a Time in the West.

Yes. Good ones. Lots of great scenes in westerns.

The opening scene of ouatitw

Ending of the wild bunch.

Ending of the professionals when they hand the stupidly hot woman from ouatitw back to Raza

Tombstone “ I’m you’re huckleberry “ and the mocking of the gun twirling with the cups.

Johnny guitar scene where he meets the protagonists in the bar.

Shane etc

Nicolas cage learning to drive with one eye covered in fire birds.

"You bd!"
"In my case, an accident of birth, But you, sir, are a self-made man".

True Romance, when the leads dad knows that no mater what he does or says, he is already dead, so he asks for a ciggie and then full on offends to the killer (Walken) sitting in front of him. A near perfect, 'fk you' moment.

[Trophy Husband]

Jack Elam trying to catch the fly in the barrel of his pistol whilst waiting for harmonica man (Bronson) at the station in Once upon a time in the west.
Also the black guy catching rainwater in his Stetson and drinking it from the brim.
Fantastic imagery given what follows.
My favourite film of all time.
