This scene from Raiders. The way it's staged and executed, Spielberg at his best.

Just about every scene in No Country For Old Men is perfect. Every time I watch it I'm in awe, it might be my favorite movie ever made.

Scarlet O'Hara walking the streets of Atlanta and the camera starts narrow on her then pans out Ssshowing the magnitude of the war.

I always wondered, how this and movies like the Wizard of Oz were in color in the 30's, and then TV shows like the Beverley Hillbillies and Leave it to Beaver were B&W in the mid-60's.

The only answer is the opening scene to Inglorious *******s.


There are many excellent scenes on this thread, but when I think on what it was like to watch all of them for the first time, and also on rewatch, this scene still stands out to me.

Filming in color was very expensive and not profitable enough in the early days of Hollywood, especially for tv. Not only was the filming part more difficult and costly, but more attention has to be made to things like costuming, makeup and set design. It's easy to hide things done cheaply when filmed in black and white.

One of the greatest character introductions ever. I believe the first usage of a mirage onscreen as well.



Favorite reversal of all time:



Some of the best endings ever. "You'll laugh, you'll cry."

Any such list without this is entirely suspect:

meh.

i'll be that guy.

dramatic scenes are too easy to make in fictional sports movies - unless they are factual representations of real events i can't get that worked up for them.

Miracle - now there's a sports movie.

I believe Burnout (the video game) was modeled on this scene.

I think my absolute favorite though and I think a perfect scene is the park bench scene in Good Will Hunting.

It comes after the previous session when Will had gutted Sean (Robin Williams) in their previous meeting analyzing him from a single painting and hitting him where it hurts - his dead wife.

Starts off with more smartass stuff from will but Sean soon starts a long monologue here where he methodically tears Will apart not in an angry way but destroying his entire self image really. the camera work is amazing panning around where first you only see Sean and then you get Wills stunned blank stare as he is just rocked by this and taking it in. He rips his attitude and demeanor apart but in a way that shows he wants to help him still. And in the end he gives him a "your move chief" and walks off as Will sits stunned still taking it in.

Perfection




I came in to post this scene. Top 5 movie to me. This scene sets it apart.

This scene. The scale, the filming, the sound. Leaves me with nothing but awe and respect for the fighting men of the Greatest Generation.

This entire movie is pretty much perfect but this scene and Ed Harris' delivery of his line is just so great.

The Almost Famous scene is great (I was going to add that one, but you beat me to it.)
