I would like to know what are some movie scenes that some us consider favorites.

To get it started, here are a few of mine:

Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly singing and dancing to the title song.

Grease: John Travolta and Olivia Newton John singing and dancing to You're the One that I Want.

Field of Dreams - at the end when they say If you Build it, he will come . . and he sees it is his father. :(

The Sixth Sense . . near the end in the car and the son is telling the mother about her mother . .

I have a lot of these, but I'll just name a few, and most of these are ones that others wonder why I like..

-in Titanic, right when they show Rose looking up at the ship for the first time, and she looks up from under her hat. I just think it's very classy

-in The Other Sister, the scene where Carla is telling her mother everything at her sisters wedding...

-in Armageddon, basically the whole scene starting from where they draw straws to see who stays

in The First Wives Club, where Diane Keatons character is at her therapy session and hits her with the Nerf bat... (I rewound it probably 5 or 6 times the first time I saw it and LMAO!)

Oh there are SOOOO many more, but I'll stop there for now... LOL

Seven - When Kevin Spacey looks at Morgan Freeman, and says (remarking on Brad Pitt's character), "Oh. He didn't know" in this strange tone - I can't even describe it. It's kind of eerie how good of an actor he is sometimes...

Schindler's List - The scene near the end, when Schindler comments on how he could have saved so many more people if he had given up more (his car, ring, etc), and breaks down crying.

Dances With Wolves - The last scene, where John's Sioux friend (sorry, forget his name) calls out his name as John and his wife ride away.

The Sixth Sense - When the twist ending is revealed...oooh....

Lots more, but that's all I can think of right now. :)

In Jerry McGuire the scene where Rene Zellweger realizes that Tom Cruise was in the hall and heard her say that she loved him. The look she gives is classic - a combination of physically ill and horrified.

The scene in Sixth Sense where you realize that Willis is dead.

Any scene in any movie that makes me cry is a favorite of mine. A movie that can elicit that kind of emotion from me is truly one I could watch over and over.

Prince of Tides:

There is a scene of the three children leaping off the end of the dock and holding hands under the water. When Tom Wingo (Nick Nolte), describes his childhold to his sister's psychiatrist, (Barbara Streisand), this scene loses its playful, childlike innocence:

When my brother and sister and I needed to escape, we developed a ritual. We found a silent, soothing world where there was no pain -- a world without mothers and fathers. We would make a circle, bound by flesh, blood and water. And only when we felt our lungs betray us would we rise toward the light -- and the fear of what lay in wait for us above the surface.
The ending scene when Tom Wingo has come to terms with "the memories that haunt us, and the truth that sets us free." He returns home to his wife and children:
I acknowledge my life and my destiny. I am . . . a well loved man -- and it is more than enough. I learned that I need to love my mother and father in all their flawed, outrageous humanity. And in families there are no crimes beyond forgiveness. . . . But it the mystery of life that sustains me now.

My fair Lady, Professor Higgins says Eliza where are my slippers.

Gigi - When Gaston turns around and goes running up the stairs.

The Usual suspects - when Kevin Spacey (kaiser Scose sp?) is walking down the street with his limp and he slowly starts walkng properly as it all unfolds).

Casablanca - the scent at the airport.

I could go on and on

In Con Air, when they are dancing on the plane to "sweet home alabama", Steve Buscemi says...
"Define irony...a bunch of convicts highjack a plane and are dancing to a song from a group that died in a plane crash." Every time I see that movie I repeat the line wih him.

In "My Best Friends Wedding" when Julia Roberts & ? are talking on the boat and he says that you should always say what you think before the opporunity passes, and you can tell she wants to say "i love you" but stays quiet, then they dance. Ahhhhh, what a nice movie!

Just watched Sound of Music again over the holiday on TV and loved the scene where she is teaching the children how to sing (Doe a deer, a female deer....) and then they are running through the fields singing, and biking and in the trees singing. Great movie!!!

My favorite scene in The Sound of Music is where the father and daughter are singing Edelwiess together. Actually, I just love the entire movie but that scene I like the best.

One of my favorites is from "The Way We were" when Barbra Steisand reaches out and brushes back Robert Redford's hair. It makes makes me sigh everytime.

I love Sound of Music too Gail (the whole thing). Just saw Me, Myself & Irene - my favourite part was when Jim Carey first gets in touch with his other side, and FREAKS out in the grocery store!!!! Hillarious!!! I'm sure we can all relate. hehehehee :)

I watched Rain Man for about the 50th time this weekend - so many great scenes but this one always makes me laugh: Ray and Charlie are on the road and stop at a stranger's farmhouse, where Charlie tries to get them inside so Ray can watch "People's Court". Charlie tells the lady that they are from the Neilsen Company and she has an important opportunity to help shape television programming. Ray is getting more and more agitated and the lady slams the door.

Charlie: That's it. You blew it. You don't get to see your program. Finished.
Raymond: One minute to Wapner.
Charlie: Yes, one minute to Wapner. I had you in there, Ray! You were in there! The defendant, the plaintiff, you had it all. They are in there making legal history! Legal history!
(Ray is rocking himself back and forth and "duh-duh-duh-duh"-ing the "People's Court" background music.)
