What is your favorite movie moment ever?

[Belloche]

Here's a couple

Indy shoots the swordsman in Raiders
The adrenaline shot scene from Pulp fiction
Do you expect me to talk? No Mister Bond, I expect you to die. -Goldfinger
The hallway scene from Exorcist 3 ( if you've seen this movie you know what I'm talking about)

I could go on all day.

How about in Iron Giant where the giant is racing up to destroy the nuke and save the earth (and obviously about to sacrifice himself) and he recalls what Hogarth says to him about choosing to be whoever he wants to be and he says...SUPERMAN....

Good call on Bond, could go on for days just with Bond quotes...Here's a fave from Diamonds are Forever.

(Lana Wood)...Hi, I'm Plenty... (Bond)...But of course you are... (Wood)Plenty 'O Toole... (Bond) named after your father perhaps...

BraveHeart, Wallace's pep talk before the Battle, always get chills!

Shawshank when they realize what Andy did to escape.

Full Metal Jacket: R Lee Ermey and one of the greatest opening scenes ever filmed

[darkpoet25]

Mine is at the end of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Everyone thinks after the small ships leave that it's all over. Then you see a giant shadow overcast everyone, and the bass rumblings of the Mothership can be heard. I love the part where one of the Army guys runs past Roy Neary to take a piss or dump, hilarious. Then when it lands there is the exchange of music between the two, a brilliant score by John Williams. The door later opens up and all the missing people show up without aging a bit. Barry gets reunited with his mother and Roy Neary gets suited up to board the Mothership. We then see the 'kid' aliens come walking out of the Mothership and pick out Roy first to board. Cut to the scene where the alien comes out and does the Kolday hand signs with Mr. Lacombe. I never get tired of seeing this movie or this ending. A great movie by Spielberg and one of my all time favorite movies.

there is also when the monolith appears to the prehistoric men in 2001.

Mine is from Dumb and Dumber:

Its the scene when Lloyd (Jim Carrey) accidentally takes the turn to Nebraska instead of Colorado. After driving some odd hours into Nebraska, Harry (Jeff Daniels) wakes up. They look out onto the flat farmland plains that Nebraska has, and they say the following:

Lloyd:"Huh.....I was expecting the Rocky mountains to be a little rockier than this"

Harry: "I was thinking the same thing"

Lloyd:"That John Denver's full o' sh*t man!"

It makes me laugh just thinking about that part

As I said, there are many great movie moments, but here's one you all may know:

The final scene in Lawrence of Arabia when T.E. Lawrence is being driven away from Damascus in a Rolls-Royce by an enlisted driver. In the desert they pass a band of Arabs on camels leaving Damascus. Lawrence stands to acknowledge them, but they give him no notice. In an English officer's uniform he is not recognized by the tribe as being their "Lawrence" of the desert. He sits back down in the car. The driver says "Well sir, going home!". Lawrence wasn't paying attention to him and replies "Hmm?" The driver repeats "Going home, sir!". A motorcycle passes them heading out of Damascus and a truck of British troops pass the other way, heading to Damascus. You see Lawrence's face looking through the windshield. Then you hear the "Lawrence theme" on the strings of a zither. It's the end of the most important chapter in the man's life, now all in the past. He's returning to the same old home, England, but he returns forever changed.

That's a good one!

[STARKILLER--1138]

WOW! There are so many. My #1 is the opening scene from Star Wars Revenge of the Sith with the drums pounding, the Republic Assault Ship rumbling across the screen, and Anakin & Obi-Wan swooping down in their ships. Goosebump enducing every single time.

[Gamma_Winstead]

i loved that scene in Die Hard when The car hits the two cars... you know? That was awesome in the theater. The sound of the Cloverfield monster, The subway scene in Cloverfield. Any scene in There Will be Blood, the epic trailer for Indy 4. The sweeping score during the first few seconds followed by the Indy theme with his shadow then the sound of the whip when he jumped. It gave me chills.

ALIENS: The Queen Alien is chasing the little girl who was hiding under the metal floor grates, A Huge door opens with Ripley is inside the "Loader" and she says, "Get Away From Her YOU *****!"

Theres a moment in this movie where Richard Gere hits the crossroads of his life. He is holding a letter that he should but shouldn't mail, tapping it on his forehead, pacing back and forth, when he gets a "sign" in the form of a a beautiful Red headed girl...the mood is right and the weather is on the verge of a storm, but Gere has an epifinay and so do we as the movie watcher. The letter is never mailed but winds up being very symbolic in a very climatic finish.
Watch this movie if you haven't seen it, there is a really good lesson on how we struggle with different aspects of our lives and relationships we build.

My Dad worked at The Royal Jubile Hospitial in Victoria BC Canada where some of the movie was filmed.

The most memerible to me has to be the final Russian Roulette scene in the Deer Hunter between Robert De Niro and Chistopher Walkin.

I would not say it is my favorite though.

I'd have to Go with the End of Pirates of the Carribean 3, SPOILERS - Highlightwhen Beckett is Walking down the Steps, and His ship is blown to Hell all around him, but he just keeps walking

One of my all-time favorite movie moments is the final couple of scenes from The Wild Bunch. The one where the four guys are marching down to the plaza to confront the Mexican officer who is holding their buddy hostage, and then they take on the entire army! Bullets blazing and plenty of blood. Some darn good acting by the way.
