Lots of good choices. Here are a couple more I haven't seen mentioned yet:

Goodfellas - The montage showing the result of Jimmy's tied up loose ends (played to the piano solo in Layla).
Shawshank Redemption - When the warden finds Andy's bible in the safe, and when he hears the police sirens.

I saw Casino as a small child and the scene where they're burying Joe Pesci alive is burned in my head until this day. I went the longest time not even knowing what movie the scene was from (I was very young) and just recently watched it again a couple years ago... So, I guess that qualifies as pretty memorable for me.

I'll stick with comedies, because top 5 of all movies is just brutal. Hell, many movies or actors can make their own top 10. So yeah, 5 random, awesome scenes.

The Jerk, "He hates these cans!"

Animal House, cafeteria scene.

Something About Mary, franks and beans.

Breakfast Club, Bender under the table.

Princess Bride, battle of wits.

1.) The Death Star explosion in "Star Wars".
2.) Charlton Heston as Moses parting the Red Sea in "The Ten Commandments".
3.) The opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (giant rolling boulder).
4.) "I am your father." ("The Empire Strikes Back")
5.) When Vader turns good and grabs the Emperor and throws him over the railing near the end of "Return Of The Jedi".

Honorable Mentions:

- "Jaws". The whole freaking movie. Pick a scene. The opening attack. Quint scratching the chalkboard and naming his price. "You go in the cage? Cage goes in the water? Shark's in the water. Our shark." "We're gonna need a bigger boat." The comparing of injuries and then the U.S.S. Independence story. The ending scene ("Smile, you son of a..." BOOOM!)

- The horse's head in the bed in "The Godfather".

- Rocky running up the stairs in Philadelphia.

yeah just an all-around fantastic movie and i love the special effects too. the score is great as well. that new movie even used some of the same music during the scary parts, that was a nice touch.

I thought of "coffee is for closers" as soon as I saw this thread. I'll try to name a few that haven't already been posted. I'll start with:

"I want my father back, you son of a bitch." (from The Princess Bride).

Fishpicker · 01-16-2013, 03:28 PM

1. There Will Be Blood - opening scene. Daniel is nearly killed but finds a chunk of gold. He deposits it at a bank and $2 is put on the books.

2. Conan The Barbarian (Ahnold) - The Orgy

3. Apocalypse Now - The horror

4. Sanjuro - The duel

5. Reserved * for the next Hobbit movie, when Smaug is shown on screen for the first time. It will either be perfect or it will be another WTF moment like the flooding of Isengard in The Two Towers.

4. Bruce Willis killing Jack Black in The Jackal, because I ****ing hate Jack Black.
5. I know this might not count to some of you, but the Normandy leaving Earth in Mass Effect 3. I've never seen a video game scene evoke so much pathos.

FTW. Best scene right there.

Wilson floating away in cast away

Rambozo · 01-16-2013, 03:51 PM

1. Unforgiven - the ending - "anyone who don't want to die best go out the back."

2. Pulp Fiction - the body disposal scene with Tarintino

3. Raising Arizona - the intro to the Lone Biker of the Apocalypse where he throws hand grenades at rabbits.

4. Monte Python and the Holy Grail - Lancealot killing spree

5. Carrie - the very end when the hand comes out of the ground and grabs Sue. That terrified me as a child
