The Madoka movies are some of the best animated movies of all time, especially the third one.

no he just felt like talking to caminante

boooooom

Russkies - the entire movie

No, that's actually SolRo's taste. Really.

SolRo has good taste in film.

It's late and I'm tired, but I laughed.

The scene in Sleepless in Seattle where Tom Hanks meets Meg Ryan at the top of the building and he confesses he has two personalities and holds her hand as a bunch of buildings explode.

Bram Stoker's Dracula - the "I've got AIDS" musical number

The torture and knife fight scenes in Sex and the City 2.

The Perfect Strangers Movie - where Balki and Larry consummate their years long deeply repressed emotions and fuck in a hayloft and Balki reveals he's a dom (the subsequent scenes where Cousin Larry is no longer allowed to wear clothing except for a leather thong and milk goats are also incredibly well filmed)

The scene in Avatar where Jake Sully actually tells the blue Navi the humans plans and they work out a mining deal where the humans can drill a tunnel from afar to get the mineral deposits without hurting the magic tree and the Navi will get better technology in exchange and everyone feels way smarter at the end.

The race riot scene in Bring It On

The subtitles scenes with Chewbacca in Star Wars as he explains his philosophy to Han Solo, outwitting him at every turn

The multiple gangbang scenes in Kirk Cameron's Left Behind: the Last Asshole

The scene in Tom Cruise's version of War of the Worlds where he finds his son's dead body and then he discovers all the aliens died because they're allergic to water, which surprisingly they did not think about before coming to Earth, and so he kills himself over the sheer stupidity of such beings.

The scene in After Earth where Will Smith eats his own son to survive.

The karate crane kick scene at the end of The Social Network by Zuckerburg-san.

Jem and the Holograms - the abortion party scene where they get high from Electronic Drug Dealer

The scene in Rudy where he finds the Zoltar machine and wishes to be big, and then the next morning finds himself unrecognizable.

The race riot scene in Jingle All the Way with Arnold Schwarzenagger

The scene in The Proposal where Sandra Bullock realizes that she is actually in a mental institution and that Ryan Reynolds is the husband that she killed. (I really did NOT see that one coming)

The multiple gangbang scenes from Cocoon

The opening scene in Star Trek Voyager: the Movie where literally everyone but Seven of Nine dies at once.

The Clark Kent fingerbanging Jimmy Olsen at his desk scene from Superman Returns

The scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High when Spicoli reveals to his teacher he is actually an undercover DEA agent.

The scene where Lex Luthor puts Superman in a headcage of bees that have been feeding on flowers grown with kryptonite crushed into their soil, so they bees have kryptonite in them from Nicholas Cage's "Superman Lives!" where Superman promptly dies from bee stings.

The scene from Crocodile Dundee where he reveals his piano genius to a reporter slowly falling in love with him in spite of his obvious mental problems.

Back to the Future III, where Marty rides the sandworm in the year 10,500 AD and exclaims to Chani "Whoa, this thing is heavy!"

The very last scene in Casablanca, where Humphrey Bogart tells Ilsa that he loves to get peed on in the shower and she kisses him goodbye.

*applause*

You're just perfectly punctuating yourselves for a brian harrod there.

I refuse to Harrison Bergeron myself. Xenocide and I are comrades in wit over here. If Brian Harrod wants to steal our efforts, that is the price I must pay.

The opening scene to Santa's Slay:

Which begs the side topic: best James Caan or Sean Bean death scene

Although Barry Lyndon is a very fine film.

Stars for Withnail & I.

For me it's the Hamlet soliloquy at the end that is #10 though every uncle Monty appearance is brilliant too! Made more poignant for me by knowing the ending was originally intended to have him chewing on a shotgun barrel.

The rest are in no particular order:

#9. Confession scene in 'Det sjunde inseglet'. Von Sydow at his absolute peak.

#8. Christian's speech in 'Festen'.

#7. The bandit telling his version of the story in Rash�mon.

#6. The end scene of 'Manon des Sources'. Still wows me after all these years.

#5. Though 'The Shining' is filled with ominous scenes, the one that sells it to me is the Delbert Grady toilet scene.

#4. 'Predator' and 'Long Tall Sally' are a perennial favourite, great lead-in to the movie imho.

#3. '2001: A Space Odyssey' Dawn of Man scene. That soundtrack just builds and builds till it's almost unbearable, absolutely masterful. I was lucky enough to see it in 70mm at the TIFF lightbox some years ago and it was a near-religious experience.

#2. The TV version of 'Le Comte De Monte Cristo' With G�rard Depardieu. When his masterplan comes to fruition, amazing!

#1. 'One flew over the Cuckoo's nest' The death of Randle McMurphy. First movie to ever make me sob like a child back in the day, still struggle not to lose it during that scene.

'One flew over the Cuckoo's nest' The death of Randle McMurphy.

Forgot that one, it's a beautiful movie.

Well, ROUS has most of mine, but I'd like to add the opening montage from Takeshi Miike's Dead or Alive (and the end of Audition) and of course seeing Alyssa Milano nude in Poison Ivy 2.

I'm guessing you're referring to the groundbreaking "Hai doggie" dialog?

Yeah.. Inglorious Basterds and True Romance (written by) were mentioned but I've never gotten chills the way the IB in particular gave them to me when Cat People by Bowie started playing when they're planning on doing something (in case you haven't seen it.) So anachronistic and wonderful. I'm not the type to throw a drink at the TV during a sports game if my team's losing (something my family has done before) but I was pretty close when that movie didn't win Best Picture that year.

A few more: I know it's cliche but the Philadelpha stairs scene from Rocky,
The cellphone scene from Hurt Locker, which I think beat IG that year,
Brando's reveal in Apocalypse Now,
The chainsaw twirling at the end of Texas Chainsaw,
Pretty much every shot in Sicario, not just the bridge scene (seriously see this movie),
Cliche again but "I am your father" from Empire,
Pretty much every scene with Combo from This is England,
The dinner scene from Citizen Kane..

also mentioned as a "runner up" is the ear scene from Dogs

I saw that with film school friends, and we knew almost nothing about it going in...halfway through that scene my friend goes "what the fuck am I watching?"

The end credits for Dune.

The birthday party in Pink Flamingos!

But that's a TV show.

It said scenes, not movie scenes.

A couple more I just remembered:

The finale of The Bad Sleep Well.

"Gooble Gobble" from Freaks.

The climax of Lifeforce.

The last shot of Jun in Anthem of the Heart.

The discussion ain't over till the site burns down!!!

I thought the cinefix list was good, just about every movie they talked about that I've seen was great but (I suppose you can't avoid this when talking about so many classics because they've been so dominant) really focused on hollywood movies.

The poetv discussion has been better, but a little focused on hollywood movies...with some anime.

in an ocean of awful cinema channels, cinefix occasionally makes worthwhile content
