This is a battle of scenes that really hammer their point home. My votes:
#1 - Jaws. That story really draws you in, even if it vilifies the sharks when they didn't really do anything wrong. #2 - 25th Hour. Interesting scene. I like the moment of clarity at the end. #3 - They Live. I've never seen WWE moves in an actual serious fight scene before. And why didn't the guy just humor him and put on the glasses for a second? It would have been much easier on everybody, including the viewers.

So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb

For me, Robert Shaw's scene there is one of the main things that takes Jaws from good to great.

The final score will likely not be indicative of the merits of They Live.

The Indianapolis scene is arguably the most powerful moment in the entirety of Jaws – a masterful piece of writing, acting and filmmaking that achieves multiple objectives in the span of roughly four minutes. This was Robert Shaw’s moment to shine – and the actor was more than up to the task.
That being said, the scene accomplishes even more than just showcasing Shaw’s formidable acting chops (it’s interesting to note that it showcased Shaw’s foibles as well – he tried to do the first take while legitimately drunk and the footage was unusable. He apologized the next day, asked to try it again, and nailed it) – it pulls extra duty in that it reveals not only something integral about Quint’s character (and allows the audience to identify with the character in a completely new light), but Brody and Hooper as well, while upping the emotional stakes for all involved and changing the antagonistic relationship between Quint and Hooper. Pretty impressive for a single sequence.

It's not going to win, but I voted They Live because Rowdy Roddy Piper was my favorite wrestler.

Jaws. One of the classic scenes in modern day cinema.
