the shining - where jack has a conversation with Lloyd (the bartender) Blue Velvet - scene where Frank captures Jeffrey, takes him out for a wild night, and then beats him unconscious. The Godfather part II - When Michael, in a Cuban nightclub, realizes for the first time that it was his brother that betrayed him. I'm not talking about later with the kiss, I mean when Fredo is talking about his 'buddies' Johnny Ola and 'Old Man Roth'. When Michael here's Fredo say that, you can see him thinking about it for a minute or two, putting it together, and then becoming devastated by his realization. Pacino did an amazing actng job. Michael looks like he's nausious with shock at what he has just discovered. A truly amazing job of acting, writing, character development, cinematography... just an amazing scene. -- droxford
To Kill A Mockingbird: when Atticus finally leaves the courtroom and all of the black citizens in the balcony rise up to honor him. A League of Their Own: The whole final scene when the women come to the opening of their wing at the Baseball Hall of Fame to celebrate and reminisce.

"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" When Mr. Drayton is telling everybody what fools they've made of themselves trying to tell why it is or isn't OK for Joanna and John to get married and then tells his wife about his love for her then gives his blessing for Joanna and John to marry. "12 Angry Men" The final scene where every juror but one is convinced of the defendants innocence and then that one breaks down and finally gives a not guilty vote. I agree with what was said before, there are too many in cinema history to choose from.
And I can't believe I overlooked that great scene from "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner"... Easily one of the all-time best.
Even though i'm fed up with baseball, in particular mlb, one of my favorite scenes of any movie is the one from the bad news bears when Vic Morrow's character, the little league coach from hell, smacks his son in front of everybody at the game and the next play the kid, instead of throwing the runner out, keeps the ball and lets the bears score two runs as his teammates and dad go ape!@#$. Classic. That whole game was classic. They lost the game and still told the winners to take a flying leap.
Forgot about that! There's another scene, I think also in part II where Michael discovers that his wife aborted his baby. The look on his face.... you don't want to mess with this guy!
Nope, you can only post pictures of Jeff Cohen, aka Lawerence "Chunk" Cohen in the 1985 classic, The Goonies. You're welcome.

George C. Scott's monologue in patton. The end scene in Casablanca. The action scene in X2. Great lines during that scene. Godfather 1 where the Don is told that Sonny has died. When Brando just looks up to the ceiling, incredible. Brando the best, hands down. In citizen Kane, the one where Kane is standing up and clapping in the dark by himself. The Amp speech in Spinal Tap.
1) Pretty much the first hour of Full Metal Jacket 2) The scene between Cruise and Nicholson at the end of "A Few Good Men" (thacabbage posted an excerpt from it) 3) HAL tells Dave Bowman that he knows that he and Frank were trying to disconnect him - very chilling scene 4) The scene in "A Clockwork Orange" where Alexander, the writer has Alex locked in an upstairs room and plays Beethoven's 9th Symphony ("time to snuff it!") 5) All the love scenes between Roger Thornhill and Eve Kendall in "North by Northwest" ("So tell me. How did a girl like you get to be a girl like you?") as well as the famous crop duster scene ("That's funny, that plane's dustin' crops where there ain't no crops.") 6) The scene in "The Shawshank Redemption" where Red reads Andy's letter and Andy tells him, "Remember, Red, hope is a good thing and like all good things, it never dies." 7) The Shining scene where Grady tells Jack Torrance about how his girls did not care for the Overlook Hotel and that one of them even stole a book of matches and try to burn it down. But he "corrected them" and when his wife tried to "prevent him from doing his duty", he "corrected" her.
