Following on from the best film thread, how about your favourite scene from a film? The film doesn't' have to be good.
Just watched the magnificent seven (again) and the superb knife vs gun scene stands out for me.

Have to admit I do like the Crazy 88s fight scene in Kill Bill, and also the chase in Fifth Element when she "dove off" :)
The one that springs instantly to mind is The Matrix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzHlLJyH2q8
One that stands out for me as leaving me instantly impressed is the long take in children of men that leads up to the cease fire. 12 minutes single shot or something like that. Through streets, in and out of buildings couldn't take my eyes off it.
2 Favourite Films, The Dark Knight and The Crow
The Pencil Trick in the first
"Quick Impression for ya" in the second
2nd is really favourite line in a movie, new thread perhaps?
oh, just for 3d, opening sequence in Hugo, its astonishing
"....and then he kissed me" steadicam from GOODFELLAS.
"ASTEROIDS"! from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (10 when first saw it, recall it like yesterday)
Mr. Pink charging down the street with his ill gotten gain.
Source Code - the same scene again and again...
I took your advice
It was good advice
The firefight after the bank robbery in Heat.
Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman's sword fight in the snow in Kill Bill.
The snow fortress section of Inception and everything above this post. :)
Star Wars - A new hope, when the Star Destroyer passes overhead. Truly epic!
As for brilliant acting, the apartment scene in Pulp Fiction.
+1 to the Heat gunfight.
also the opening scene from Saving Private Ryan
that fight scene in Gladiator. You know the one.
And the scene in Terminator 1 where Arnie goes into the police station...
Hmm... so all guns and violence..... interesting. The car chase in Blues Brothers is also good....
The scene in Apocalypto where a jaguar is chasing the main character but then the guy chasing him comes in the way and gets mawled.
Watched Desperado at the weekend and the opening scene with Steve Buscemi telling the story in the bar is superb; great acting, funny and a great way to start a film.
Blade Running "like tears in rain..."
The long end fight scene in "Ong Bak". I believe that it was all done in one take.
The opening scenes to "Die Hard With a Vengeance" and "Casino".
There are the obvious ones, opening scene of Saving Private Ryan, The UP! scene, but one that stands out for me is the Goodfellas scene where Henry takes his wife on a date and they walk through the back of the club, its just wonderful to watch.
