Coolest movie scenes of all time

(Warning, scenes contains some language, though it's all in French)

You should have said "Pardon your French", and for once it actually would have been accurate (because most french words aren't french)

[The Jade Knight]

Heh, yes, but I loathe that expression.

Banlieu 13 (District B13 in English) has a few really awesome scenes, such as:

The guy running in the first scene is (actor) David Belle, who is one of the founders of Parkour.  (Warning, scenes contains some language, though it's all in French)

That's awesome Jade! I've never heard of that movie, but I love watching Parkour. 

[The Jade Knight]

If you like Parkour or cool fighting scenes, it's an excellent film.

I actually saw the very first Parkour film (Yamakasi) in theatres.  That was before I knew it was called Parkour.  Blew me away.

The Parkour stuff from the opening of James Bond was really good as well.  On to the topic...

The lawnmower scene from Dead Alive, The Last 20 minutes of Hot Fuzz, "Stuck in the Middle With You" scene from Reservoir Dogs, Goonies water slide, Matrix when Neo and Trin rescue Morpheus.

This could go on forever, these are just some from the movies I have watched the last couple of days.

[Jurisprude]

The entire opening montage from Raising Arizona (along with several other scenes from that movies). 

All of the fight scenes from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

The first 40 minutes or so of Wall-E.


To name a few ...

[The Jade Knight]

All of the fight scenes from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

These are actually pretty standard for any traditional modern Chinese kung-fu/Wushu movie.  Americans generally don't realize this, but Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is generally considered "same old, same old" in China.

[Patriotic Kaz]

Transformers Revenge of the fallen when Optimus fights Starscream and Metatron & whoever all at once...he has his sword and dagger that cut using heat and its awesome

[Jexral]

The ear scene from Reservoir Dogs.  It makes me shudder. 

Also, I really enjoy the scene from Citizen Kane when he is getting adopted from his parents, and he is playing out in the snow.  <sigh>  Good movie.

Oh, oh!  And the rape scene from a Clockwork Orange.  <shudder>  Good film.  Required viewing for every human.

[Recovering_Cynic]

The end scene in The Professional where Jean Reno hands Gary Oldman the pin from a grenade and says, "For Mathilda."

[ErikHolmes]

Equilibrium:

The End Scene where Christian Bale and Angus McFadyen are standing next to each other trying to shoot one another with pistols. They are close enough that they  start blocking the shots with Kung Fu moves. Bale points his pistol at Angus, but Angus does a kung fu block and knocks the pistol aside right before it goes off, then Bale does the same when Angus aims at him, etc.

I was in a game store in California watching it with about a dozen guys when it got to that scene. We were all screaming it was so damn metal.

[Inquisitor]

The scene in The Boondock Saints where the brothers break into the courthouse.

[Shaggy]

Watchmen

"Men get taken in. Dogs get put down." -Rorschach (*smashes cleaver into criminal's head*)

The scene in the jailcell . . . "GIVE. ME. IS. MY. FACE." -Rorschach

"None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you–you're locked in here with me." (*Splashes hot oil on man's face, tackled by security*)

What an awesome movie.

UHF. It has most of the classics, plus it has Weird Al. What more could anyone ask?

[Peter Ahlstrom]

But which scene(s)? (Note thread title.)
