Favorite single scene in a movie

[brn623cl]

The music, the camera cuts, the fact the scene goes almost 5 minute until the guns are drawn

 

[Killick]

I've always loved the look/transition in Riggs' eyes in the "Are you really crazy?" scene from Lethal Weapon.



"I'm hungry. I'm gonna go get a hot dog."

The scene where Michael makes the plan to kill Sollozzo and McKluskey does it for me every time.

Let's set the meeting. I'll kill 'em both.

 

[Baron Scicluna]

I seriously needed a laugh after everything's that's going on, and I found it in Davethebarberbunchanumbers' comment on Don Ciccio:

"I like how he holds the can of olive oil and has the look on his face like 'what the fork am I supposed to do with this?"

As the camera slowly moves in on his face.....

The final kitchen scene in Moonstruck is perfect from start to finish.

 

[Hermes]

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

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

Dude I taped this off HBO in 1991 and was finally gonna watch it tonight!

Thinking what my kids would say if I used the phrase "taped this off" about a show ...

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

This one's always in the running ...



EDIT TO ADD: The content is offensive, but the acting and the tension of the scene are riveting.

Nearly three years after the fact, but this is the first scene I thought of when I finally discovered this thread today. Hopper's character knows he's a dead man and just goes all-in. Perfect scene and Hopper grimacing as he takes one more drag on the cigarette says more than anything he could have uttered.

Hopper's also responsible for one of the great lines of the '90s: "Son of a bench is right. She tastes like a peach."

WALKEN: "Do you know I am, Mr. Worley?"

HOPPER: "I give up." [laughs in disgust] "Who are you?"

I think the Gary Oldman scene is much more memorable.
