    This scene was great for both Broderick and Washington. It was like Broderick’s character for the first time realizing what his the slaves went through and your right about Washington’s character. But my favorite scene from the movie is when they are praying and singing before the final battle. War movies have a lot of great scenes. The last scene from Saving Private Ryan is awesome when Damon salutes Hanks.

    i had forgotten this, but when he's at captain miller's (tom hanks) grave at the end and turns to his wife and says "tell me i've lived a good life. tell me i'm a good man." that's a powerful moment. it just hits you what a huge burden it is to make those guys' sacrifices mean something.

    The scene from Dr Zhavago where Victor Komarovsky (Rod Steiger) the nasty pervert from the beginning of the movie shows up near the end of the movie was one of the only times when I've been watching a movie and yelled out "Oh S**t!" in the middle.

    That movie made me cry like a little girl. (Julie Christie, btw, is the sexiest woman in the history of the universe).

    Regarding the best scene from The Third Man it is, IMHO, the one at the end where Holly Martins gets out of the car to wait for Anna.

    The scene unfolds as quoted from www.filmsite.org

    Also, the sewer scene was pretty damn good.

    Big - The piano scene, it was favorite when it first came out and it is my favorite now. If you ask me about this movie, that scene is the first that comes to mind.

    Scarface - The final scene when Sosa's men have come to kill Montana but Montana overloads on coke and tears through them for a minute before being overwhelmed.

    Training Day - When the group of police led by Alonzo rob Roger and afterwards when Alonzo tries to have Jake whacked.

    A Beautiful Mind - When it is finally revealed that the people that Nash sees, Parcher, Charles, and Marcee, are indeed not real people and that he has schizophrenia.

    Stir Crazy - When Skip and Harry are being led into jail and Harry starts walking funny and Skip is like what are you doing and he says "I'm getting bad" then they eventually get scared. Man that movie is funny.

    The Breakfast Club - When they're all sitting together and they all really just come out with the problems that they all have and it really unites them.

    As was said, there are too many to name but I'll keep trying as long as I think about them.

    You have got to be kidding me!!!

    This is some of the best news I've heard in a real long time.

    I totally love Spaceballs.

    If it's good scenes you ask for, then look no further.

    [Playing with his dolls]
    Dark Helmet : [In Dark Helmet voice] And now Princess Vespa, I have you in my clutches, to have my wicked way with you, the way I want to.
    [In Vespa voice]
    Dark Helmet : No, no, go away, I hate you! And yet... I find you strangely attractive.
    [In D.H. voice]
    Dark Helmet : Of course you do! Druish princesses are often attracted to money and power, and I have both, and you *know* it!
    [In V. voice]
    Dark Helmet : No, no, leave me alone!
    [In D.H. voice]
    Dark Helmet : No, kiss me!
    [V]
    Dark Helmet : No! Stop!
    [D.H]
    Dark Helmet : Yes, yes!
    [V]
    Dark Helmet : Oh, oh, oh! Ohhhh, your helmet is so big!
    [Lord Helmet is playing with his dolls in his quarters when Col Sandurz bursts in]
    Colonel Sandurz : Lord Helmet!
    Dark Helmet : WHAT?
    [Helmet gathers up his dolls]
    Colonel Sandurz : You're needed on the bridge sir!
    Dark Helmet : Knock on my door! Knock next time!
    Colonel Sandurz : Yes, sir!
    Dark Helmet : Did you see anything?
    Colonel Sandurz : No, sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.
    [Sandurz closes the door]
    Dark Helmet : Good!

    Yes, it's true! According to aintitcool.com, Mel Brooks said, during an interview with Playbill magazine, that he's writing a sequel to Spaceballs.

    Menace II Society - Begining scene when O'Dog kills and robs the convenient store clerk then gets the store video tape (which he continues to show to friends throughout the movie.

    Chasing Amy - when Affleck stops the car in the rain and confesses to Allysa that he is in love with her.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Alyssa : Why are we stopping?

    Holden : Because I can't take this.
    Alyssa : Can't take what?
    Holden : I love you.
    Alyssa : You love me?
    Holden : I love you. And not, not in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being. And I know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. But I had to say it. I just, I can't take this anymore. I can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. I can't, I can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. I can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are. And I know this will probably queer our friendship - no pun intended - but I had to say it, because I've never felt this way before, and I don't care. I like who I am because of it. And if bringing this to light means we can't hang out anymore, then that hurts me. But God, I just, I couldn't allow another day to go by without just getting it out there, regardless of the outcome, which by the look on your face is to be the inevitable shoot-down. And, you know, I'll accept that. But I know... I know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. All I ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that - and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. Alyssa, there isn't another soul on this ****ing planet who has ever made me half the person I am when I'm with you, and I would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. Because it is there between you and me. You can't deny that. Even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that I'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me, which - while I do appreciate it - I'd never need a painting of birds bought at a diner to remind me of.

    Harlem Nights - when Quick gets in fight with Vera and shoots off pinky toe.

    Revenge of the Nerds - "We've got Bush, we've got Bush...."

    Next Friday - Smokey's lip gets sucked into Vacuum cleaner hose.

    It's amazing how my mind goes blank when these threads pop up.

    Let me give a couple more recent examples, I guess.

    Garden State-When they're yelling down into the quarry in the rain. That whole movie is full of great scenes, but this was my favorite. My second favorite was in Sam's room when she's talking about doing something that no one's ever done before then making that funny noise/dance. I also dug the first meeting of Sam and Andrew..."this song will change your life".

    Open Range-The shootout at the end, especially the beginning when Charley asks the guy if he's the one who killed Mose, then shoots him between the eyes. Boss' speech to the town in the little cafe. That was awesome. That movie is extremely underrated and full of great lines. "People are going to die here today, and I'm gonna kill 'em". "How's this gonna work if you don't do what I say?"

    Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind-The whole movie was awesome, but for some reason the scene where Joel and Clementine are watching the movie at the drive-in, but making their own dialouge. Then of course, they have to try and outrun Joel's memory being erased.

    There are so many more, but I'm drawing a blank.

    Put up or shut up...this is the stuff:


    ARTHUR: Old woman!

    DENNIS: Man!

    ARTHUR: Man. Sorry. What knight live in that castle over there?

    DENNIS: I'm thirty-seven.

    ARTHUR: I-- what?

    DENNIS: I'm thirty-seven. I'm not old.

    ARTHUR: Well, I can't just call you 'Man'.

    DENNIS: Well, you could say 'Dennis'.

    ARTHUR: Well, I didn't know you were called 'Dennis'.

    DENNIS: Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?

    ARTHUR: I did say 'sorry' about the 'old woman', but from the behind you

    looked--

    DENNIS: What I object to is that you automatically treat me like an inferior!

    ARTHUR: Well, I am king!

    DENNIS: Oh king, eh, very nice. And how d'you get that, eh? By exploiting

    the workers! By 'anging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates

    the economic and social differences in our society. If there's ever going

    to be any progress with the--

    WOMAN: Dennis, there's some lovely filth down here. Oh! How d'you do?

    ARTHUR: How do you do, good lady. I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Who's

    castle is that?

    WOMAN: King of the who?

    ARTHUR: The Britons.

    WOMAN: Who are the Britons?

    ARTHUR: Well, we all are. We are all Britons, and I am your king.

    WOMAN: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous

    collective.

    DENNIS: You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-

    perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--

    WOMAN: Oh, there you go, bringing class into it again.

    DENNIS: That's what it's all about. If only people would hear of--

    ARTHUR: Please, please good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

    WOMAN: No one live there.

    ARTHUR: Then who is your lord?

    WOMAN: We don't have a lord.

    ARTHUR: What?

    DENNIS: I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in

    turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week.

    ARTHUR: Yes.

    DENNIS: But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special

    bi-weekly meeting--

    ARTHUR: Yes, I see.

    DENNIS: By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs,--

    ARTHUR: Be quiet!

    DENNIS: But by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major--

    ARTHUR: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

    WOMAN: Order, eh? Who does he think he is? Heh.

    ARTHUR: I am your king!

    WOMAN: Well, I didn't vote for you.

    ARTHUR: You don't vote for kings.

    WOMAN: Well, how did you become king then?

    ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake,...

    [angels sing]

    ...her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from

    the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was

    to carry Excalibur.

    [singing stops]

    That is why I am your king!

    DENNIS: Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis

    for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate

    from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    ARTHUR: Be quiet!

    DENNIS: Well, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just

    'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

    ARTHUR: Shut up!

    DENNIS: I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some

    moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

    ARTHUR: Shut up, will you. Shut up!

    DENNIS: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

    ARTHUR: Shut up!

    DENNIS: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help!

    I'm being repressed!

    ARTHUR: Bloody peasant!

    DENNIS: Oh, what a give-away. Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh?

    That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it,

    didn't you?
