    My favorite scene in all of The Godfather movies — Tom and the Don after Sonny’s death.

    Here’s mine:



    I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned yet.

    To me, it’s the best because it stands on its own. You don’t have to ever have watched the whole film. If you see just that, it points out WTF and the absurdity of war. The movie in a nutshell.

    So on FB there was a "Best opening scene of a movie that sets up the entire film...." thing. This came instantly to mind. Such a masterclass in direction. Oh, and if Trump thinks the border is a sieve NOW!

    Oh that was genius. Also worth a look Ed Norton in The Score

    I'll also take the final scene of Presumed Innocent, when <spoiler alert> Harrison Ford discovers his wife is the killer.

    1) Tommy Lee Jones ordering the search party in “The Fugitive.”
    2) Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) lists his demands in the original “Die Hard.”
    3) “These go to 11.”
