I saw this on another board. Remember, post scenes that you believed defined the film, not your favorite scene from the movie.
Heat - De Niro and Pacino chatting at the diner.
The Dark Knight - The Joker's final scene.
Halloween - When Laurie asked Loomis if Michael was the boogeyman.
The Thing - the whole blood test, when paranoia actually set in.
Psycho - I know a lot of people say the shower scene, but I honestly believe the conversation during the sandwich scene explains a lot about Norman.
The Shawshank Redemption - When Red and Andy are playing chess, talking about their guilt.
The Lost Boys-The Vampire gang walking up hill after the beach party killings
Near Dark-Bar scene-Finger licking good
(I included this film because the above scene was stolen from Near Dark)
Good Fellas-Funny guy scene.Joe Pesci is amazing in this film, this scene is one of the most iconic ever filmed imo.
The Shining- Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!!!
Full Metal Jacket- Shower stall scene. Truly frightening stuff from Vincent D'onofrio as Pile. This scene shows what any human is capable of when pushed to far...
Carrie - though I still love the detention gym scene, the exact moment when her eyes go wide and things start to "happen..."
Hook - "say it Peter, say and mean it" "I belive in fairys" "-- that's where I'll always love you - where I'll aways wait for your return"
Labyrinth - "You have no power over me"
The Nightmare Before Christmas - Jack's Lament, sets the stage for why he feels a need to do what he does and the *quiet* devotion of Sally
My Cousin Vinnie - "Oh yeah - you blend." his gf is unipressed by his telling her he fits in better with the location as he is wearing cowboy boots
Animal House - during the trail scene, "would you tell those @$$***** to shut up?" "HEY SHUT UP YOU @$$***** !!!"
Bram Stoker's Dracula - "- I love you too much." "then take me away from all this death"
cheers to all who submit
Thanks Caro!!
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The painfully brutal scene with the grandpa and the hammer
Jurassic Park - The scene when the T-Rex escapes
Network - Howard Beale's breakdown on live TV
Back to the Future - Marty, via the clocktower, goes back to 1985
Terminator 2 - When the Terminator helps John and Sarah escape from the T-1000 in the hospital
Raiders of the Lost Ark - The map room scene
The Hills Have Eyes(1977) When Bobby finds Beauty gutted
The Stepfrod Wives(1975) Joanna finds her husband drunk, crying in the den after his "initiation" into the Stepford Men's association
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1973) for me it's the beginning with the shots of the desecrated graveyard
[COLOR="Lime"][SIZE="2"][SIZE="3"]Just a few
Dawn of the Dead 2004 - When Anna came out of the hospital after her shift was over, and she saw the paramedic laying down in back of the truck, sort of the beginning of the end. When I first saw it I thought the paramedic would get up and attack Sarah Polly, which I thought is one of the hottest babes in zombie movies.
Dawn of the Dead 1978, when they raided the housing project, and the guy was shot and fell off the roof. Society falls apart. allso when the one legged preacher gave his sermon to Peter and Roger. it gave Peter the excuse he needed to follow Roger.
