When you factor in the score and the scenery, this is borderline impossible to beat. The last ~10 mins of that movie from the burning alive to the chase to the fight is just incredible.
I actually 100 percent agree with you. LofM is just one of those rare "go to" movies that never gets old. It's truly timeless. The entire movie is a work of art...every...damn...scene...which builds to the most heartbreaking but purely badass climax you can imagine. The only other movies that I put in the same category are Legends of the Fall and Braveheart, but I think Last of the Mohicans slightly wins out.

Dammit...I always forget about this movie but I think I have to rank this scene up there with the last 10 - 15 minutes of Last of the Mohicans. Makes me turn into a water soffit every time.
Now I miss my dad...

In all seriousness, this one has to be way up there for me:
The Sicilian Scene from True Romance (NSFW Language)
It's pretty much the perfect marriage of writing, directing, acting, and casting.

The Sicilian scene from True Romance is epic. It's a perfect scene.
That's what makes Tarantino so great - pure badass dialogue driving the scene. There are so many Tarantino scenes that we could mention that it's ridiculous...especially from Inglorious Basterds (ie. the basement bar scene, etc.).
However, the Sicilian scene is tip top for me.
ETA: Weird side note. As you know, Tarantino didn't direct True Romance, rather Tony Scott (Top Gun). What I find interesting is that Tarantino's True Romance script is so detailed and scene specific that another director with a completely different directing style made a movie that looks like a Tarantino directed movie, albeit subtle style differences like Scott's heavy use of neon lights, steam/fog, backlight, and music choice. Regardless, if someone didn't know that Scott directed True Romance, they could easily believe that Tarantino did.
I believe that's a true testament to the strength of Tarantino scripts. The scripts are so strong that I believe the scripts would force any director to film what was imagined in Tarantino's mind resulting in a movie that would probably be uncannily similar to what Tarantino would've done himself.
I'd like to see other directors tackle Tarantino scripts in the future.

I agree with all of this.

I think an unexpected bonus from Scott directing a Tarantino script is a certain clarity that comes from someone other than the writer directing. It's a fresh perspective on a script from someone that hasn't been immersed in the writing process.
I'm not explaining this very well, but I hope you get my meaning.
Scott brought a seriousness to the script. It's missing Tarantino's sense of dark glee that he brings to films he directs.
For this script (and possibly others) it's a more pure darkness without that sense of nudge, nudge, wink, wink, absurdity that Tarantino likes to include.

Exactly. Scott injected his manic urgency and panic to True Romance which I think Tarantino would've withheld...such as the scene when Clarence finds Alabama beaten to a pulp at the hotel, rushes her to the car, and then peels out of the hotel parking lot in reverse like a fricking madman nearly hitting several cars on the main thoroughfare. That is just one of several manic scenes that are purely Tony Scott.
What is great about True Romance is you get two movies in one: You get to enjoy what is clearly a Tarantino imagined movie while at the same time enjoying a purely Tony Scott adrenaline fueled film.
It's a Tarantino movie on roids! In my opinion, it's almost better than what Tarantino would've filmed himself. Tony Scott knocked it out of the ballpark...and I bet Tarantino knows and embraces it. Tarantino seems like the kind of director who truly appreciates the great work of past directors, so much so that he constantly mimics other directors' style in his movies as a way to honor them for their contributions to film history.

This is what I was getting at. Tarantino is a better writer than a director IMHO. Not saying he isn't a great director, but his directorial style might not always be the best choice for his scripts.
Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, and Reservoir Dogs - Perfect for his style.
Imagine Kill Bill Vol 1 directed by John Carpenter and Vol 2 directed by Luc Besson.
Or Jackie Brown directed by Paul Greengrass
Hell look at what Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk til Dawn) and Oliver Stone (Natural Born Killers) were able to do with Tarantino scripts.

Page 3 and no Vader revelation scene mentions? For shame.

Yup.
This should be an entirely new thread debate...
