John Hurt gets indegestion in Alien.

When Schindler sees the body of a little girl with the red jacket in an otherwise black and white movie. That is awesome, not for the violence but for it’s significance of Schindler seeing what the Nazi’s are really doing.

Hey... it may be a bit pixalated on a theater size screen, but it's a damn perdy sight!

But well, it's hard to decide on just one scene... difficult to pick the really best one. So if I may exceed the one-scene-limit: the final scene of "Dead Poets' Society". When the guys get up on their chairs and all... great. And with a really deep meaning, it kinda resumes all the movie has said. I love it.

The music jsut fits it so well, when you see the SWAT team enter the apartment, it crescendoes as you see the fingers come down to deftly shut the door. Awesome.
And then there's the fight between Ripley and the Queen in Aliens (that's not Queen Elizabeth II although I bet that would be fucking funny).
Oh, and another fantastic scene: the rooftop in Shawshank Redemtion. "Do you trust your wife?"
cheers

You guys should play the n64 game "conkers bad fur day" it has a part where you can immitate the matrix lobby scene, it's so amazing. You do the jump and everything goes slo-mo and the're all trying to shoot you and stuff.. very nice. It's actually challenging too.

At the end when spinx starts going off about life. The looks on everyones face was clasic.

OH HELL YES! Counter-strike is what it reminds me of. In fact, every time my friends and I see that scene, we all yell "Terrorists win!"

well you all are choosing action movies, then I'll change mine to the scene in "The Patriot" where Mel Gibson goes like 22/0 against all those Brits, shooting the shit out of them and then haxing a bunch up with an axe. Now that's cool. The whole time I'm watching it I'm trying to flick for the tab key for his score, like in CS...
But overall, Shawshank Redemption still owns. And so does Morgan Freeman. He's cool.
yes. that patriot scene was quite nice.
me, I think one of the cooler looking scenes is in starship troopers when the bugs are rushing up whiskey station. its not my fav but it's cool.
my fav is in the end of Arlington Road... when we get a surprise. (Trying not to spoil the film).

"Of course not! why do you think i speak with this outrageous accent?!"

Likewise the chestburster scene in Alien, I'd already been told what was going to happen. I sometimes wish that I could just have all memories of the Alien series erased and see them for the first time now because I'm sure I would just explode because they all kick ass, still fill me with tension and suspense and exhiliration now, what would it be like seeing them for the first time?
And in a cinema. Mind-blowing.
cheers

yeah, that was really funny....i think the rest of the band camp stories were just bullshit to lead up to that....
im American Pie when Jim is told that it feels like a warm apple pie and he asks "McDonalds or home made"
the scene in hackers when zero cool says "the pool on the roof must have a leek" he just sounds so intelligent it's scary
and when at the end of that same movie the buildings light up and it says "Haxed by Jeff K".
oh wait, that's not the movie, but it still kicks ass
