I think the opening scene with Lester narrating is top 2. Also, the infamous dinner scene has to be up there, as well.

What you got?

The scene where Carolyn is driving home, signing "Rain on my Parade" and pulls up to Lester's new Firebird in the driveway is money...

My real answer is when Carolyn is in the drive thru with the real estate king and Lester catches her..."I don't have to do what you tell me anymore"

It's not the best scene but I thought this was pretty interesting break down of a very important scene.

boobs scene but no boobs, just technical cinematographic break down

Wife and I watched it soon after the birth of our 1st child, and the scene where Lester is seducing Carolyn and he nearly spills his beer and she freaks out resonated with us. Wife isn't anything like her, but at that point in our life with the stress of a new baby and her being OCD about the house being clean, we could certainly relate.

it's relates incredibly well to the modern man's ordinary life which is why I think so many think so highly of it...
