What's your top 5 favorite movie scenes !

When Pacino chews Spacy a new one in Glengarry Glen Ross. With the brass balls speech a close second.

T-Rex busting through fence in Jurassic Park

The law is coming! You tell them I'm coming . . . and Hell's coming with me! You hear?! Hell's coming with me! - Tombstone

My God, what have I done? - The Bridge On The River Kwai

Orgy chamber fight scene - Millius' Conan
 
First appearance of AT-ATs & the whole Hoth Battle - my jaw was on the floor!
Luke watching the twin suns.. exactly how I felt at that age too - just wanted to get the *f* offa the planet!
in Aliens when Ripley's holding Newt & says "close your eyes baby"
Those are the 3 main ones.. so hard to pick.. Heck, I love ANY scene in Star Wars
 
1) In ESB at the end. Right after the MF goes to lightspeed. They show Vader, and he looks, then turns his head, and looks back. The "look" on his face through the music.. you know he is PISSED! Even as he walks away people sort of look at him.

2) Maltese Falcon, at the end.. the "the stuff dreams are made of " dialog. I just really like that.

3) Raiders.. the "lightning, fire... power of God or something" scene.

4) Usual Suspects when at the end the cop notices all the things on the wall. This actualy leads to me thinking the entire plot of the movie is made invalid.. but that's another thread.

5) I'm a sucker for the bike flying scene in E.T. Seeing that as a kid. I sooo wanted to do that!
 
Not sure about my top 5, but I know my all time favorite number one scene...

The helicoptor rescue from Superman The Movie.
 
After a quick think;

3 way shootout in Good Bad and Ugly. Exciting even when you know the outcome.

Shootout between Bronson and Fonda in Once Upon A Time In The West. Long wait, then fast and matter of fact.

They all blast the jungle together in Predator. They don't what's up but join their buddy.

Pee Wee gets up in Pee Wees Big Adventure.

False alarm gong in The Seven Samurai. The Samurai rush to protect people who hate them.

The opening sequence of Top Gun...

The building music, the camera filtering, the steam, the close-ups of the jets on the carrier deck, the cut from the Top Gun Theme to Danger Zone just as the Tomcat launches off the cat...

Cinematic gold...

And I don't CARE if the snot-noses think is a product of the gay-ties!
 
Ooof, very tough to narrow it down to just 5. But here goes...

1) Star Wars: Ben Kenobi's reaction when Luke tells him the droid claims to be the property "of an Obi Wan Kenobi". (I get chills just typing this.)

2) Rocky: The fight between Rocky and Apollo in the first film. (Especially when Conti's "Going The Distance" music is playing, and especially when Rock beckons Apollo to come out for the final round.)

3) Gladiator: Commodus' "other kinds of virtues" appeal to his father Marcus Aurelius, and then suffocating him to death. (Gladiator has been gradually moving up my list and has recently crept into my top 5 films of all time.)

4) Field of Dreams: The "catch", and the dialogue leading up to it, between John and Ray Kinsella. (Not many things make me cry. This is one.)

5) Live And Let Die: The boat chase. (The music, the stunts, and Sheriff J.W. Pepper! :lol)

Right there with ya. And the studio fired Scott for that. :lol

When you watch scenes like that when you're no older than 4 and continue to watch it as you grew up, it sticks with you.
 
Ditto on the opening sequence from Top Gun, that scenes gives me goose bumps every time I see it.

The Princess Bride - The duel between Inigo and Westley/Dread Pirate Rogers.

Star Trek II - Enterprise leaving space dock, love that scene almost as much as I love the Top Gun opening sequence.
 
For something a little off the beaten path, and in no particular order...

1. The Adventures of Robin Hood: Sword fight between Erroll Flynn and Basil Rathbone

2. Ben-Hur (1959): The chariot race

3. Rear Window: The introduction of Grace Kelly

4. Love Me Tonight: Maurice Chevalier's introduction to Solitude

5. Murder, He Says: The scene with Fred MacMurray "sitting" in the basement

You ought to check out Captain Blood too, another good duel.

Basil was an expert swordsman ("the best in Hollywood history") and he hated having to lose to Erroll in these movies.

When Tony Stark suits up as Iron Man in the first movie. That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!!
 
This is a great topic! I actually had to think about this a while before giving a reply. There are so many great movies with good scenes in them. Here are five of my favorites.

1) ROTS - When the newly christened Darth Vader and the 501st march into the Jedi temple.

2) Black Hawk Down - When the 2 delta snipers try to fend off the mob and save the wrecked pilot. Props go out to the real Shugart and Gordon. These kind of heroes make me proud to be an American.

3) Chasing Amy - the Jay/silent bob cameo at the end of the movie. I waited through the whole flick to see the appearance. The payoff was worth it.

4) Braveheart - the ending scene where Robert the Bruce finally follows Wallace's lead and win independence for the scots.

5) Shawshank Redemption - the scene that shows how Andy escaped.

There are many more...
 
1. Do ya really wanna jump from Lethal Weapon

2. I am on the ground from Flght of the Intruder

3. Never get off the boat in Apocalypse Now

4. They f you in the drive thru and Uncle Bennie in LW 3

5. Battles in LOTR
 
Primer - When Abe shows Aaron his 'other self' through the binoculars

Goonies - When the kids start looting One Eyed Willys treasure

ROTJ - When Vader taunts Luke about leia and Luke screams no! jumping out of the shadows

Transformers 2 - When Prime loads up with Jetfires spare parts (yeah im weird but i just love the scene)

Chronicle - When the boys learn to fly

Or...

When Wallace is riding in, in slow motion, war hammer on his back, mace at the ready, to avenge Muron's death.
