Wow, a lot to choose from but here goes... Someone said it on the first page, the 'Wise Up' scene in Magnolia was just astounding. The fact that they were able to pull off something like that speaks volumes. Really the entire last half of that film could make it on to my list. Frank confronting Earle in his bed, the frogs, that final scene especially, they were all just incredibly powerful in different ways. I adore that film. Several scenes from Godfather part II come to mind, 'IN MY HOME...IN MY BEDROOM...' and the kiss of death scenes are amazing, but the one that lingers in the memory is that final shot of Michael staying at the dinner table while the rest of them go to greet Vito as he arrives home. The scene in Drive when there's that shot of The Driver walking up to the window in slow motion with THAT MASK on! Damn, sent shivers down my spine all three times I've seen it. The scene in the motel as well, when he sees the shadow of the car drive past and realizes they've been followed. The resulting mayhem is incredible and so well done. The final scenes of Good Will Hunting, especially as Chuckie realizes Will has left, that look of at confusion, then fear and then happiness from Affleck is amazing. Also 'That son of a bitch, he stole my line' <3. Toy Story 3, when Andy says good bye to his toys. I was in no way prepared for the emotional onslaught of the last few scenes in that movie. Apocalypse Now, Ride Of The Valkyries. Shoot me, gives me goosebumps every time. The Millennium Falcon being chased in to the asteroid field in The Empire Strikes Back . Just amazingly thrilling and awe inspiring no matter how many times I see it. Bruce Willis chooses his weapon in Pulp Fiction, always funny when he looks at the sword , also the scene in the restaurant at the end, Jackson's delivery is just perfect and that dialogue is just so good. Ride of the Rohirrim in LOTR: Return Of The King, legit almost cried the first time I saw that out of pure awesomeness. The one shot tracking scene following Henry and Karen in to the restaurant in Goodfellas. It's just masterful, as we get to see in to Karen's first glimpse in to Henry's world, and we feel the same way she does. Amazing. There's probably loads more I'm forgetting, but I'll come back once I've remembered more.
