There are many to choose from, but this is undoubtedly the best.

Other favorites include the Mexican standoff in Reservoir Dogs, the final "dream" sequence in Brazil, and the battle in the torrential downpour in Seven Samurai.

What's all this about? o_O

It is the greatest scene ever. But it can still be your favorite movie.

Solo · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:39:45 PM »

Im the TGTBATU nut, and this is my fav scene ever, as far as I can tell, you dont even like it or the film that much (or at least you like OUATITW and The Wild Bunch more, and never speak of TGTBATU). All of a sudden it contains your "favorite scene EVAR". Choice am DUBIOUS.

Dude, its one of my favorite films, its just not a major topic of discussion. If I had to list faves it would probably be my second or third.

Solo · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2007, 02:40:57 PM »

Anyways, since you've raped me, I will come up with my second favorite, and call it my favorite, for the sake of this thread.

Hardly a greatest EVER, but Ill be damned if its not a favorite, and probably my favorite marriage of song to film in the past 5 years.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:08:18 PM »

IMO, the way they played with the music was very imaginative, but having the whole beating from the man's p.o.v. got kinda repetitive. Black guy yelling into camera, dragging it around, and stepping on it two minutes ftl.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:11:06 PM »

I can't think of a favorite but these are definitely some of the top 5 best scenes I've ever seen:

holy shit

Perhaps my favorite scene is the wedding scene at the beginning of Godfather I but it's not on YouTube.

Solo · « **Reply #25 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:11:10 PM »

Love every second of it. I actually think I prefer Layer Cake to Vaughn's 2 films he produced for Ritchie.

I win, shut this thread down. Best scene ever.

Bloodwake · « **Reply #27 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:11:42 PM »

The end of Reservoir Dogs and the final sequence in Vertigo come to mind.

Most recently, the end of the Departed, the car scene in Children of Men, and the very end of Pan's Labyrinth have hit my list of favorites.

That was actually what I was going to post, but couldnt find a decent version on youtube. The best one ends before the nun appears and Kim Novak dies.

I like the duel scene in OUATITW more Solo; the music is amazing. Plus it finally reveals why Harmonica wanted to kill Frank. Best. Flashback. Ever

Morricone never wrote a single better piece of music than "The Trio" for TGTBATU's final shootout. To say otherwise is blasphemy!

The music in OUATITW is much better imo. Granted I haven't seen GTBTU in awhile, with respect to the duels the "Man with the Harmonica" song is superior IMO

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #35 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:21:07 PM »

The music and tension is better in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly showdown (better scene too!), but I definitely wanted vengeance more in Once Upon a Time in the West.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #36 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:22:02 PM »

TGtBatU is Morricone's finest work, no doubt about it. The greatest musical score in any film, ever.

The Third Man is a close second.

I can accept this. As long as we agree that the duel in Ugly had better music and editing.

Best reveal in history.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #40 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:24:44 PM »

That "Man with the Harmonica" song really makes the scene for me. In terms of tension I also feel it's superior because you didn't know what was going to happen. Basically with TGTBATU you knew Clint would kill Angel Eyes and that would be it. With OUATITW you pretty much knew who'd win the duel, but at the same time you didn't know what the flashback was about, or why it was so important. And when you see it omg it's stunning

Also I would go on record in saying overall OUATITW has better music than TGTBATU.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #41 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:25:12 PM »

Because I was just talking about this yesterday, here is one of the coolest scenes in fantasy cinema thanks to the late, great Basil Poledouris. Yet, this is easily the best scene in the movie.

Seriously, the reveal of Welles in the film is one of my favorite cinematic moments of all time. Not because its earth shattering or anything like that, but because the way the first hour of the film plays with you, you truly don't expect it anymore.

Then BAM! Its Orson motherfucking Welles.

That wasn't an opening, though; that was towards the end of the second act. As an opening device, the club scene in MV works wonders for the rest of the film.

Solo · « **Reply #56 on:** February 28, 2007, 03:37:43 PM »

As a 2/3 of the way through scene, Club Fever works well as a FUCKAWESOME scene. Collateral actually might be my favorite film of 2004.
