Don't eliminate scenes because a film sucked or was not considered one of the greatest of all time.


In that case, two from Star Trek III.

Stealing the Enterprise.



Destroying the Enterprise.

I fricking loved that scene. Saw this movie when it first came out on video, didn't know much about it but loved it nonetheless.

My list is now 190 nominations with at least 1 vote. I only have 30 with more than one vote so seeding is going to be tough unless yall want to give me some votes on the ones that have made it so far.

I don't want to miss any of the popular choices because people saw someone nominated it and they did not mention it.

Dirty Harry - bank robbery, Do you feel lucky punk?
Casablanca - Sam plays As Time Goes By and Rick storms out of his office ( I guess that is the Play it Sam scene)
TO Josey Wales - Missouri boat ride where the ferry goes down river.

Yeah, Fast Times..."doesn't anybody fricking knock anymore?" scene. So classic.

The ending of One flew Over the Cuckoos Nest is so powerful:

Part 1

Part 2

You have to know the context to understand the ending with the water cooler.

Ranked by preference:

2. The head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

5. Snake Eyes (Opening Scene)

4. Doc Holliday meets Johnny Ringo (Bonus translation)
quote:

Doc Holliday: (After his behavior is explained away by "He's drunk")
In vino veritas. (In wine truth.) I speak the truth when I'm drunk.

Johnny Ringo: Age quod agis. (Do what you do best./Be careful what you do-both translations are apt.) You're good at being a drunk, be careful.

Doc Holliday: Credat Judaeus Apella, non ego. (Apella the Jew might believe it, I don't.)Tell it to someone who cares.

Johnny Ringo: Juventus stultorum magister. (Youth instructs fools.) Fools got to learn the hard way.

Doc Holliday: In pace requiescat. (Rest in peace.) You'll learn the hardest way.


1. Judgement at Nuremberg (Montgomery Clift as a man involuntarily sterilized in Nazi Germany/cross examined by academy award winner Maximilian Schell) If the nomination process requires only one nominee, this is mine.

3. Godfather II (Fredo's rage)

As an aside, I'll buy you two upvoters a beer. The scene is absolutely beautifully shot with natural light and the score gives me goosebumps.
