I thought I'd start a memorable movie scenes thread. So here's Sean Penn in the original and best "Bad Boys."

Man, that's a fucking classic. I've always liked that movie - it's been a while since I've seen it though.

My contribution:

Alec Baldwin - he usually sucks but he owns this scene (from Glengarry Glen Ross)

And Al Pacino fucking up Kevin Spacey (from the same movie)

Yeah. That's the best scene I've ever seen Alec Baldwin in. Although he was also great in Miami Blues. And what can you say about Al? He's the man. I was going to add his final speech from Any Given Sunday, but I thought I go with something funny. Here's the elevator scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Ah man, we could probably do an entire thread with Memorable Pacino Movie Scenes, I mean the list is practically endless.

This is probably not his best scene ever, but it might just be the most anticipated one. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...

On reflection that one isn't quite so funny when it's shown out of context. But this one from Goodfellas is a beauty. How smooth is Henry Hill in this scene?

And Joe Pesci is hilarious in this one.

As for the Heat clip, Sniper, I rate that as the best movie gun fight I've ever seen. I was completely blown away by it when saw it on the big screen.

Yeah, it doesn't quiet come off as well on youtube than on the big screen - plus the sound in that scene is awesome.

Well, saw this thread and had to put in the final scene of my all time favourite movie. Also features a very memorable line:

Ooooooo, nice choice, Rob. Great scene.

But no memorable movie scenes list would be complete without this one:

This is definitely one of my all time favorite movie scenes.  Most if not all of you should be familiar with this scene:

Never heard of it. Has it been released yet? Who's the chubby white guy?

This one's a little off the beaten path, but I think it's a great scene.

Unfortunately, I don't have a youtube link, but IMHO, the best movie scene comes from 'The Big Chill.'  In it, Sam and Michael (played by Tom Berringer and Jeff Goldblum) discuss sex.



Michael: I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations. They're more important than sex.

Sam Weber: Ah, come on. Nothing's more important than sex.

Michael: Oh yeah? Ever gone a week without a rationalization?


Anyone who needs to see good characterization and dialogue should buy this movie.

You've seriously never heard of Pulp Fiction?  It came out 13 years ago.  Oh well.  I still recommend you go and see it on DVD or something cause that's a classic.

Haha. That's a beauty. 'Happiness' had heaps of wrong (yet funny), scenes in it.
Imagine the poor buggers who went and saw on a first date. How awkward would that have been?

However, my favorite dialogue driven movie of all time is "When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder?" Nearly everything that comes out of Marjoe Gortner's mouth is gold. Unfortunately there aren’t any scenes from it on You Tube.

I offer competition:



And speaking of True Romance, here is what I think may be the best scene ever to take place during the second act of a film:
