GIVE ME THE BEST MOVIE SCENES EVER - making a DVD of them

[J.A.K.]

Oh yeah this one...

Glengarry Scene

[NajdorfDefense]

Do you go to Columbine?

[StukOnStupid]

Glengarry Glenross - Alec Baldwin's "motivational" speaking appearance.

Big Night - Making the omlette

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - The penultimate scene when Wonka tells them that they lost, but the Charlie gives back the gobstopper anyway.

There are so many obvious ones, but these are a few less so.

lol - Looks like the first glengarry post was made while I wrote this one...

Given that you included a scene from "Alexander", I'm not sure I can work with you on this. But good luck with the project!

I agree that the inclusion of anything from Alexander makes the OP somewhat hard to swallow, but I'll play anyway.

Jaws: The scene where they sit around in the boat drinking and comparing scars; where Quint starts telling the story of what happened to the USS Indianapolis. Definitely Spielberg at his finest.

The Big Sleep: The scene with Bogart and Bacall, sitting in a bar supposedly talking about horse racing; the language of this movie and particularly this scene is pretty daring today, and was tremendously risque in 1946...great stuff!

The ending to On the Waterfront.

7.)Heat- Another one that will include several awesome clips. Robert De niro telling off Waynegro at the diner, “there’s a dead man on the other end of this f---in line“, the great scene where Dinero is driving through the tunnel near the end and decides to risk all, take the exit, and go after Wayengro, when Dinero kills Wayengro in the hotel room and says repeatedly “Look at me, Look at me” before shooting him.

Good gun fight in this one, where Val Kilmer exits the bank, smiles at the guys in the car, spots a cop crouching on the other side of the street, levels his AR-15 and opens up. A 6 minute car chase/gun fight ensues. Too long for your purposes, but a spectacular scene.

Also add:

Apocalypse Now from the Ride of the Valkyries to "Charlie don't surf" to "I love the smell of napalm in the morning...."

Bad movie but good scene: 3000 Miles to Graceland, where the Elvi thieves open up in the casino.

Full Metal Jacket: scene where R. Lee Ermy asks about Lee Oswald, the Marines, and the killer spirit.

Reservoir Dogs: Mr. Orange shoots the civilian in the car.

Ending of Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid

Rocky: If I can go the distance, I'll know, for the first time in my life, that I wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood.

Back to the Future: No, Biff, you leave her alone.

Breaking Away: the final bike race, or when Dave is keeping up with the 18-wheeler on the highway.

Kudos to the mention of the Pele speech in Vision Quest. I also love the scene where Tanrahan says, "You know Louden, for the first time, I'm starting to worry about that other guy."

I can't believe you included a Godfather scene, but it wasn't the baptism scene. That's the best scene ever in the history of film

[DrewDevil]

BTW OP, read The Fountainhead for the greatest portrait of courage in living one's life.

Some others that came to mind were the Helm's Deep scenes from LOTR 2 and the Matrix bullet-dodging scene
