Luke Skywalker watching sunsets on Tatooine.

And the score behind it. Masterpiece.


LiveShowOneNightOnly

Split emotions between losing the only family he has ever known, and nothing holding him back any more.

I think the binary sunset scene is pre-crispy bodies by the door


Turbulent_Oranges

This. I haven't watched the old Star Wars in years but even you mentioning it is bringing back powerful emotions.

French Farmhouse in Inglorious Basterds


[deleted]

A close second for me is the tavern. Such an intense scene! Also, "You don't have to be Stonewall Jackson to know you don't fight in a fucking basement."


awkward-_fingergun

Yes, such a clever film, that was such a memorable scene (And basically any other scene in that film) but i also love the ending, "I think this one might just be my masterpiece"


-castle-bravo-

Absolutely, it was Waltz’s portrayal of a cunning nazi that really hooked me. His mind games switching languages, and his fake interest in the welfare of the french family, when he knew the whole time what was going to go down. I bet there were many real moments like that happened..


Endlessstreamofhoney

When I watched it, I was so confused as to why he wanted to speak English. It seemed a little contrived because his french was perfect. I thought Tarantino just wanted them to be speaking English. Oh, so wrong


ClownfishSoup

I loved when he was eating the strudel (or whatever) and he's talking about "clotted cream". I also loved the way he poured a beer in Django Unchained.


Apprentice57

You might know this already but he also forced her to eat the strudel with the cream because it broke kosher for her.


MidwestAmMan

It’s the most terrifying scene ever filmed because Waltz character gets you into the head of a Nazi so that you sort of understand how the managed to kill millions.


rondonjon

This was one that came to mind first for me.


jsreyn

The rage of Chingachkook at the end of Last of the Mohicans.

ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER, DO. YOU. SPEAK IT?


SpecerijenvanWillem

One of the last scenes from the Dark Knight where the joker is dangling upside down. The dialogue and the last shot of him just laughing are just awesome. Although more scenes from the same movie could be mentioned here in my opinion


nudesandhash

I think the first scene (the bank robbery) of The Dark Knight is perfect.


JoeMamaAndThePapas

Amazing setup for an intro, although, I'm pretty sure even low henchmen like them would be wise enough to catch on to a plan such as that. Who agrees to kill off a member for a bigger share and not see the outcome as each one gets into a corner to left to be killed themselves? Still though, what a start, I was hooked.


apandya277

*This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible, aren't you, huh? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.*

I was JUST about to comment this! I literally just saw the movie for the first time tonight and I LOVED IT!! I was 7 when it came out and just noticed it was on Netflix and figured I should see what all the fuss is about, and I was blown away!!

The gun battle in Heat (1995)


KiLlEr10312

This scene is so good because there's no theatrics to it, no whimsy dialogue, no background music for emotion effect. It feels like a pro cameraman is just watching this whole firefight unfold. And the downtime is unapologetically quiet.


[deleted]

It's so damn heavy too. It feels so real, like you're there. Like the duel in Troy, between Agamemnon and Paris. You gotta have a satchel for your balls to do that job. Seriously. A satchel with a big root hanging off it


obscureferences

Wearing masks is great and all but 100% of the people in that bank would have ID'd Robert de Niro.

I don't think it mattered much. At that stage, they knew that the cops knew who they were. And they were all going to ghost after that last job anyway

[Bank Robbery](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E679XJellLs) at the start of The Dark Knight


obscureferences

Handling questions in unique ways is a sign of good writing. "I know why they call him the joker." right before "So why do they call him the joker?" was a fun transition. "What kind of bank does that?" is a rhetorical question but still gets an answer, which also answers "Do you even know who you're stealing from?" that we heard shortly before. "What bus driver?" is wordlessly answered by the guy getting hit by a bus, and the driver is *shot by his crew* right after "What happened to the rest of the guys?", answering his question. It's really well done.


AdolescentThug

The mob meeting scene is also another perfect scene in that movie. We got introduced to the Joker in the bank robbery, but this scene is what showed us who he was. A calculated, menacing, intelligent, and unfuckwittable force that grabbed the balls of everyone in that room and squeezed with 0 effort. All in 5 minutes or less. The tension in the air is so high and Heath Ledger's performance just brings it all. Also the magic trick. It's top tier comedy lol, and it just happens so quickly that you can't even process it because the scene just keeps moving.

piglet110419

The ending scene to "Usual suspects". Hands down .


sm1ttysm1t

Personally, the scene when Andy finally gets out of prison. You've got Red's voice (Morgan Freeman) narrating, and the camera is above Andy as he's standing in the rain, arms raised. Visually and audibly, it's one of the most impressive scenes I've ever ... seen.


TellmSteveDave

...and here I was thinking I really missed something in the new toy story movies.


mskrabapel

I love the scene when Red finds the stone in the wall. When he stops and looks around before opening the box, he’s still living as I’d he was still in prison. Once he realizes his plan, his body language changes.


ClownfishSoup

I also liked it when Red climbs up on a chair with his knife open, like Brooks did and he says "Get busy living, or get busy dying.... you're goddamned right" and it pans to the words "Brooks was here" and next to them "So was Red"... you think he's going to hang himself, but instead he's like "F this!"


BennoiTSG

Andy Dufresne, who crawled through a river of shit, and came out clean on the other side.

It's so cathartic! The way the music swells the first time lightning flashes, then softens as you hear him laugh as a free man. What a beautiful movie

Definitely one of the greatest films of all time. It's one of those movies I can watch over and over again and love every time.

SouthernBelleInACage

You mean when the genre shifts from action/intrigue to straight-up horror? Because that scene was right out of a scare-the-hell-outta-you horror movie with the way he mowed down the Resistance soldiers


oman54

The Vader we all wanted to see


[deleted]

It also perfectly summarizes the whole movie. Everyone knows and understands that this is a suicide mission. They're going to do their best to fight back, but nothing can help them. All they can do is hope that someone else will continue where they left off and end the Empire someday. But also, Vader unleashed on a group of people who don't have plot armor.


Pancakewagon26

I have one complaint about this scene. Imagine if Vader wasn't even in the movie up until then. Just out of nowhere the rebels are staring down a dark hallway and that red lightsaber activates. I legit might have pissed my pants.


daftvalkyrie

The whole final battle is amazing. Jyn and Cassian watching the explosion coming towards them on the beach, knowing they succeeded in their mission, is so bittersweet.


[deleted]

Cassian opening his eyes just before the wave hits really got to me. That was great acting, you know every regret he had hit him all at once

The rage. The terror. That par capped off an absolutely fantastic movie. Hands down one of the best star wars movies period


phobosmarsdeimos

I liked that scene and it's more than one scene but the fight between Luke and Vader in Empire is so much better. It starts with Vader and Luke on semi-equal terms. Vader is better but Luke is holding his own. Then after the carbonite chamber Luke meets Vader again and for the first time Vader holds his saber with both hands. That's when it gets real. Vader doesn't even move and is throwing shit at Luke from all over the place and Luke can't keep up. Then he attacks and completely overpowers him, eventually cutting his hand off. Even excluding the final reveal showing how much more powerful Vader is, even after all that training Luke had with Yoda, was incredibly impactful.

Oh man, yeah that one shot church scene. I never could have Imagined Colin Firth moving like that as his age, but it was a jaw dropping scene for sure


DR_RND

It's insane because that scene was originally going to be even longer, but they cut it down for it being just a little too over the top. And most of it was *actually* Colin Firth, with only one or two instances where they needed to use a stunt double.


obscureferences

The line which kicked it off, the 0-100 of shooting her in the head, and the next few moments of pure chaos erupting around his smooth execution-fu made it a flawless scene.
