John Hurt's stomach burst in Alien.

The first time you see the shark in Jaws.

The "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man.

When you see the mothership appear over the mountain in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'

The "Those aren't pillows" scene and the “You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks" scene from Planes Trains and Automobiles.

The shower scene from Psycho.

The "Stayin Alive" scene from Airplane.

Every scene from Life of Brian and the "Tis but a flesh wound" scene from The Holy Grail.

The huge boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost Arc.

The 'dancing' plastic bag in American Beauty,

The jail scene from My Cousin Vinny.

The dream sequence in American Werewolf in London and the pub scene 'You made me miss!' from the same film.

The laughing furniture scene in Evil Dead 2.

The window seat scene in Arsenic and Old Lace.

The big reveal scene in Twelve Monkey's and also in The Others and The Sixth Sense.

"There ain't no Sanity Clause" scene from Night At the Opera.

The orgasm in When Harry Met Sally.

Pretty much every John Belushi scene in Animal House.



And that's just for starters!!

Don: Shut up, c**t. You louse. You got some fuckin' neck ain't you. Retired? Fuck off, you're revolting. Look at your suntan, it's leather, it's like leather man, your skin. We could make a fucking suitcase out of you. Like a crocodile, fat crocodile, fat bastard. You look like fucking Idi Amin, you know what I mean? Stay here? You should be ashamed of yourself. Who do you think you are? King of the castle? Cock of the walk?
[He gut-punches Gal]
Don: What you think this is the wheel of fortune? You think you can make your dough and fuck off? Leave the table? Thanks Don, see you Don, off to sunny Spain now Don, fuck off Don. Lying in your pool like a fat blob laughing at me, you think I'm gonna have that? You really think I'm gonna have that, ya ponce. All right, I'll make it easy for you. God knows you're fucking trying. Are you gonna do the job? It's not a difficult question, are you gonna do the job, yes or no?




Aitch: Look, with this pill, they say you take it and that's it. Your hair don't grow, you don't go bald, it stays the same. You have your hair cut once, in whatever style you want, and it stays like that for the rest of your natural life. It's completely revolutionary.
Jackie: What if you get fed up with your style, you berk?
Aitch: Ahh... Well, that's where the antidote comes in. The whole process is reversible. You just take a different pill. Now, I'm not saying this is gonna happen next year but it will happen, it's definitely coming. Hairdressers are shitting themselves.
Jackie: [cracking up laughing] Shut up!
Aitch: They did a test with three monkeys, right? Gave 'em all a Beatles-style haircut. They've been living with that cut for the past two years. And apparently, they're very happy with it.

Agree about the Usual Suspects. The final scene as he gets into the Jag and is driven away is pure class!!!! Won't say any more than that but every time I watch that film I see something I didn't see before. Brilliant!!
 
Dances With Wolves - final scene when Kevin Costner leaves the tribe and Wind In His Hair wails "you'll always be my brother...."

On The Waterfront - Marlon Brando "I could have been a contender"

Dirty Harry - Clint Eastwood "make my day punk"

The Goodfellas - banter scene in restuarant between Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta ref JP telling jokes and everyone falling about then RL saying "you are so funny" JP replying ultra seriously "funny, what sort of funny do you mean...."

Pulp Fiction - the cool dancing by John Travolta and Ulma Thurman when they are stoned in the night club scene

There are two other good scenes in Goodfellas.
When the Harry Hill marches across the street and pistol whips the the cocky bastard who tried it on with his misses is superb!!! Never get tired of seeing it.
The other scene is great but more for its technical dimension. Its the scene where Harry Hill takes his girlfriend to a show/restaurant. The scene starts with them crossing the road and being ushered in by the side door, avoiding the queue. From there it takes you through all the corridors, door ways, kitchens and past all the minders and people he knows, where eventually they spring up right in front of the stage, in the best spot in the house, while a waiter positions a table for them. What I like about this scene is that it lasts about five minutes and there is not one single break in it. It is all done in one take. Brilliant. Whenever I watch it I always wonder how many times the rehersed it before they got it right!!
 
Red Salmon,

Didn't like GF first time round (I really don't know why) but like you never get tired of watching it now - all time classic.

Like the scene when JP is insulted by that big heavy in the bar and comes back with a gun and all three JP/RL/RD literally beat the s__t out of him and he ends up in the boot alive then they bury him twice !!! - and then have the gall to go round JP's mothers for supper - priceless.

Joe Pesc's performance was truly awesome

PUSB
 
Casino - The meeting in the desert and the piece of classical music that goes with it.

The scene in Silence Of The Lambs where Lector is in the cage, he is beating one of the guards slowly & methodically while classical music plays in the background. Awesome.

For me that is the best scene in any film.

When you read it was taken in one shot as well just makes it even better! Absolute class.

Commando: Arnold Schwarzenegger - Arnold has the bad guy cornered in the basement boiler room. He knocks him back against one of the boilers and then throws a loose pipe at him. It goes right through the guy into the boiler and steam comes out of the pipe.
Arnold says "Let off some steam".
