Brilliant call - i thought i was the only person alive who knew and loved that flick
let that stand exemplary for many memorable scenes from Spaghetti westerns!
Also:
"you *are* home!"
"put that coffee down!"
LT: "you led - but did anybody follow?"

Another one for Still Crazy here, I thought it was excellent !
One movie scene that always sticks with me is from Sleepers, when John and Tommy shoot the prison guard who abused them when they come across him in the bar years later.
Speaking of...
Would have added the butter scene from Bronson, you know “put butter on my back” scene. But includes loads of C words and full frontal nudity which might be a bit risky for the CAF.

Shane. Final scene.
This scene still takes my breath away. I thought special effects had peaked when I watched Jason & the Argonauts back in the 60's. There's some very clever people out there.
The Pelican Brief's opening sequence is beautiful.
For a few dollars more
One of my all time favourite scenes (shame it involves Spacey, but its great nonetheless)
Always loved the training scenes between Rocky and Apollo in Rocky 3.
"Dillon, you son of a bitch"
"Have you ever fecked on cocaine, Nick?"
That's my adolescence right there.

‘So it begins’ ... the build up and the start of Helms Deep battle in Two Towers - LOTRs and the battle with the Balrog in the first film.
Snapes flashback in the 7th Harry Potter film (not a big fan of the HP films but this was expertly done).
Lion King opening and Mufasa’s death - mindblowingly good.
Hector Achilles in Troy - what an intense 1 v 1 fight scene.
Dark Knight - the chase with the lorry flipping over, breathtaking intensity in that scene and the Joker blowing up the hospital - genius.
The end of the Usual suspects.
Ben Hur - Chariot race.
Gladiator reveal but also when he finds out his family has been butchered - tragic.
Indian film wise - Sholay is full of iconic scenes, I particularly find it harrowing when the old man comes back to his land to see all his entire family have been killed and then is tied up and has his arms taken off... sheer brutality but very emotional.
KKKG - when he sees his mother after all those years, very emotional scene - gets the tears flowing.

Fredo being played so sympathetically is the main reason I personally took against Michael Corleone. I could kinda forgive everything else he did, but that was definitely the worst thing.
There's another scene around then when Michael is eating an apple or something whilst plotting to kill someone, possibly Roth. And he says something like 'if history has taught us anything, it's that you can kill anybody'. Pretty chilling stuff.
Interstellar docking scene. Hans Zimmer man...
Had the privilege to watch this in 70mm IMAX in the BFI and oh my god it was

Love this scene from A Prophet where he's on day release and takes what seems to be his first flight. Reminds of the opera scene in Shawshank and the baseball scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest where this incarcerated guy gets to experience a fleeting moment of freedom and a break from the routine and monotony of prison. Beautiful score too:
Voldemort does not blink once during this scene...
The whole film is great TBF
Quite a few Michael Mann scenes in here, so I'll add one more:
Its one of those 'what if' films. Family Man.
The final scene. He lets her see the need for both of them.
Always gets me.

Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise battle in court in A Few Good Men.
Large parts were downright cheesy but this "you can't handle the truth" scene is great.
Life of Brian: "you're all individuals" scene.
So many great ones in this flick but my kids especially like this one as they're shown it in school as a good example of irony.
And one from Monty Python's Holy Grail. Love this every time I see it.
