Its too hard to choose but if I gotta pick ONE then it has to be the Boathousescene in The Godfather 2.

I have several: When William Wallace sits bewildered on the battlefield when he learns that Sir Robert has betrayed him ( Braveheart ). When Oskar Schindler weeps over not having sold his personal items to save one more life in Schindler's List. Trinity's and Neo's shoot-em-up in the building where Morpheus is being held in The Matrix. Actually, I've got about a dozen more, but those are a few.

It's too hard for me to just pick one... There are just so many greats. I have the same problem with picking a favorite song. I can pick a favorite band, and that particular bands best album, but never a song.
Although the ending of Once Upon a Time in America was genious; Max tells Noodles to kill him, Noodles turns him down, Noodles reflects on his past, Someone jumps into the shredder of a garbage truck (may or may not have been Max), and we tie it all up by cutting back to 1933. Brilliant.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

My fav scene right now would have to be in On The Waterfront(1954) when Brando and his brother are talking in the car.

I had a different answer about an hour and a half ago but I just watched one of the greatest films ever made for the very first time: Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (with W.C. Fields). There's a moment where he drops a bottle of alcohol out of an airplane, jumps out of the airplane to get it, and lands on a mountain, where a woman and her daughter happen to live. He takes advantage of the daughter, who has never met a man before and doesn't know what kissing is. Soon the mother wants him to kiss her too, so he jumps off the mountain. And, to make it even better, this takes place within a screenplay W.C. Fields (who plays himself in the movie) writes and the excecutive thinks he's crazy.
Amazing.

Never apologize for resurrecting old topics. We have new members all the time.
And an occasional old member who misses a thread.
Mine: The scene in War Room with George C. Scott and peter Sellers in Dr. Stangelove.
Very close second: The backroom-in-the-bar scene early in Mean Streets with DeNiro and Keitel.

"Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the war room!" Well I can't think of the absolute BEST at this moment, so I'll just put down what comes to mind. This is really goofy, but one of my favorite scenes ever is the "Moses Supposes" song in Singin' in the Rain. Not so much the song itself, but the dancing in the instrumental part of that. It's so complicated and involved, and they make it look so effortless. Also, the "Piano Duel" between 1900 and Jelly Roll Morton in The Legend of 1900 is such a great scene. In that same movie, the scene where 1900 first meets the trumpet player, when they let the brakes go on the piano at night, and they're just gliding around the room with the great music, is a beautiful scene. Another one of the most memorable scenes ever is the cremation scene in the original Ocean's Eleven, when they all slowly look at each other when they hear the noise. I don't want to give out any spoilers, so I'll leave it at that. Also, a scene that always gives me goosebumps is towards the end of Immortal Beloved, during the very first performance of the 9th Symphony. The entire symphony scene is beautiful, with the flashbacks and stuff. But the part I'm talking about is the end of it, when Beethoven gets up on stage, and after it's over, he doesn't even know that the audience is giving him a standing ovation because his back is turned. Actually, that whole silent part, where all you hear is his heartbeat, is really amazing.

In Goodfellas, when Pesci shoots that kid. After that scene I couldn't stand his character, however, I guess that's the point. There's a lot of great scenes from The Godfather of course. Many more, I just have to remember them.

My favorite scene ever filmed has to be when Camern kicks his fathers car and it roles threw the glass wall in the under rated masterpiece 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'
A close second would be Sonny being shot up at the tool booth in the Godfather.
A close third would be when Michael confronts Frado about being a traitor in the Godfather Part II

There are Three Scenes that Need To Be Meantioned.
Casablanca - The Entire Airport Scene. "Loius, I think this is the begning of a beautiful friendship".
The Maltese Falcon - The entire last ten minutes where Sam gets Brigid to confess and then tells her very simply , "You're taking the fall". And that last line! "The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of" is pure genius!
Singin' in the Rain - Gene Kelly's solo number is without a doubt the most memorable scene in a musical film. Whenever I hear the song played or the meledy I can still picture where Kelly was at that portion of the song and in my mind I place the sounds of tapping for some odd reason.
Madness! Madness! - Major Clipton The Bridge On The River Kwai
GOLD - GOLD - GOLD - GOLD. Bright and Yellow, Hard and Cold, Molten, Graven, Hammered, Rolled, Hard to Get and Light to Hold; Stolen, Borrowed, Squandered - Doled. - Greed
