Yes, certainly that, & the Ben-Hur chariot race, & the whole Lullaby of Broadway sequence from "Gold Diggers of 1935, & the fight & death of Dracula from the 1958 Hammer film, & the courtroom scene (actually a stable) from The Devil & Daniel Webster, & that long swordfight at the end of Scaramouche, & the first big siege of Troy from Helen Of Troy, & that long & complex helicopter shot when they're attacking the casino in The Longest Day, & the chase on the bridge from Bad Boys 2. God, there's so many of them, if you've been a film fan for over 60 years, you can't have just one; more like a hundred & one.
...& another one - Once Upon A Time In The West, Claudia Cardinale get off the train at a station, but there's no one to meet her, she looks around & then leaves the station on a buggy. The scene should be a load of nothing, but...as directed by Sergio Leone & with music by Ennio Morricone, the scene is magical.

A bit of a hard one this but-
The end of The Mission , where everyone gets killed
Riders of Doom in the beginning of Conan
Quigley Down Under, where Quigley out draws Rickman- ' I said I had no call for one , never said I didn't know how to use one'
Obviously the end of Good bad and ugly
For just visuals numerous by Mario Bava
Charles Laughton bouncing up/ down the cathedral

My first thought when to the Asteroid Field scene in The Empire Strikes back. Effects, pacing, performance and music all melded to perfection.
Then...
Superman catching Lois in 1978
The Enterprise burning up in the Genesis atmosphere in 1984

As you will all have noticed but ignored, Henry asked for favourite scene - singular!!
Im sure the truth why fsmers always struggle to choose just one....has to be psychologically revealing.

I did qualify my selections by starting off saying that it was a hard one, if you pardon the phrase.

We don't have mods policing on a regular, so thanks for your service in their absence!
Favorite movies scenes are like favorite foods or children or pets. You MAY be able to choose one, but most people can't. It's not limited to people here.

It wasnt meant to be a mod comment, just a poser to make you all think, to challenge your minds...why is it so many of us choose to list multiple answers when asked for one?
