What's your most iconic-epic movie' scene of all time?

The original Blade runner film.
Where the android grabs the arm of the detective hunting him and says "time to die"
The android capable of harm , uses its last energy to save a life ,even its enemy !

Or "Phase four" when the ants have won and  the scientists realise the humans are no longer in control of our future.
"We don't know what the future holds but we will have purpose ".

Or "Paint your wagon "
"I was born under a wondering star "
One more -
The muppet show, animal on the drums.
Ma'  narm'  ma'na !

'Love and Death' (1975)
American comedy,
a satire on Russian literature, French and Spanish Royalty living in the '18th century - Napoleonic Era'.

In 'When Harry Met Sally' (1989) ..

Inside a crowded delicatessen, Sally (Meg Ryan) makes a point about female sexuality by faking an intense orgasm in front of Harry (Billy Crystal).

Asked for her deli order, a middle-aged female patron then tells a waitress:
"I'll have what she's having."

'When Harry Met Sally' was directed by Rob Reiner .. and so was 'A Few Good Men' (2002).  The latter presented the iconic courtroom scene featuring Marine Colonel Nathan R. Jessep (Jack Nicholson) who -- under persistent questioning by a prosecutor (Tom Cruise) -- defiantly confesses to ordering a controversial "Code Red."

The most famous line is Jessep's "You want me on that wall.  You need me on that wall."

Michael: My credit good enough to buy you out?
Moe Greene: Buy me out?
[Fredo laughs nervously]
Michael: The casino, the hotel. The Corleone Family wants to buy you out.
Moe Greene: The Corleone Family wants to buy me out? No, I buy you out, you don't buy me out.
Michael: Your casino loses money, maybe we can do better.
Moe Greene: You think I'm skimmin' off the top, Mike?
Michael: You're unlucky.
Moe Greene: You goddamn guineas really make me laugh. I do you a favor and take Freddie in when you're having a bad time, and then you try to push me out!
Michael: Wait a minute, you took Freddie in because the Corleone Family bankrolled your casino, because the Molinari Family on the Coast guaranteed his safety. Now we're talking business, let's talk business.
Moe Greene: Yeah, let's talk business, Mike. First of all, you're all done. The Corleone Family don't even have that kind of muscle anymore. The Godfather's sick, right? You're getting chased out of New York by Barzini and the other Families. What do you think is going on here? You think you can come to my hotel and take over? I talked to Barzini, I can make a deal with him, and still keep my hotel!
Michael: Is that why you slapped my brother around in public?
Fredo: Aw now that, that was nothin', Mike. Now, Now uh Moe didn't mean nothin' by that. Sure he flies off the handle once in a while, but Moe and me, we're good friends, right Moe? Huh?
Moe Greene: I gotta business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, Freddy and I, so I had to straighten him out.
Michael: You straightened my brother out?
Moe Greene: He was banging ****tail waitresses two at a time! Players couldn't get a drink at the table! What's wrong with you?
Michael: I leave for New York tomorrow, think about a price.
Moe Greene: Sonofabitch, Do you know who I am? I'm Moe Greene! I made my bones when you were going out with cheerleaders!
Fredo: Wait a minute, Moe, Moe, I got an idea. Tom, you're the Consiglieri and you can talk to the Don, you can explain...
Tom Hagen: Just a minute now, the Don is semi-retired and Mike is in charge of the Family business now. If you have anything to say, say it to Michael.
[Moe Greene leaves]
Fredo: Mike! You don't come to Las Vegas and talk to a man like Moe Greene like that!
Michael: Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you. But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.

I was thinking about that one too

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die.

Might be a weird one, but the opening scene to Raising Arizona is one of my favorites. Definitely a good hook to the rest of the wild ride that movie is.

The above citation is apparently not poster Metalhead's conversion to Internet trolling.

It's from 'The Princess Bride' (adapted to the big screen from the 1973 novel of the same name), released 1987. 

Once again, Rob Reiner directed.

In 'The Big Lebowski', during a league match at the bowling alley, the crazy perv
Jesus Quintana (John Turturro) tells Jeffrey Lebowski a.k.a. The Dude (Jeff Bridges)
that Jesus and his bowling buddy are going to "f*** you up."

The Dude, reclining, responds in his low-key style that helped make this 1998 film
a stoner/cult classic:
         "Yeah?  Well, y'know, that's just like your opinion, man."

----

The Coen brothers directed.

When Amanda Plummer takes her gun out from her handbag and points it to the restaurant guests and screams
in her crazy maniac style.. what she would do to them if they move..and when her hair cover her left eye and begins to make her appearance more and more pscycopatic...

That's the moment Tarantino decides to freeze the shot... That also is his threat to his spectators.. don't move from your seat..an epic movie is about to start....Pulp Fiction.

Same here.

But I cry every time I see his bloody hand reaching out to push an invisible gate, when he falls down, when the image turns sepia, and when his son runs on a narrow path in the field toward him.  And every time, my husband tells me that it's the best scene, that they're finally together, and that I should be happy for them.  No, I always answer, however beautiful, it's still the saddest scene ever.

We must have seen that movie 20 times or more.  We watched that again last night, and I cried again.

You missed one word, a tiny word that is important enough to change the meaning of that sentence completely:  "I wanted it to be you. I wanted it to be you so badly."

yeah, I thought I wrote it, may be because I was on mobile

In Michael Moore's documentary movie 'Bowling For Columbine', the firebrand filmmaker interviewed NRA president and long-ago movie star Charlton Heston at Heston's Beverly Hills mansion in 2001.  The interview was filmed two years after the Columbine gun massacre perpetrated by two students at a Colorado high school. 

Moore got Heston to admit he believed that the murder rate by guns was higher in the U.S. than all other countries largely due to "mixed ethnicity" in the U.S.

The film's final seconds show Heston cutting short the interview .. walking away .. and refusing to look back at a photograph Moore offered to show him of a female student who was killed in the mass shooting.

Moore later said Bowling For Columbine received an almost 15-minute standing ovation following its screening at the Cannes Film Festival.

Dear Kitty,

Your thread has just received a major boost .. as the New York Magazine website's Vulture pages are offering viewers the chance to stream most of The 101 Greatest Endings in Movies History.

It's not clear whether a non-subscriber to the magazine can stream the movie endings without at least doing a trial or short-term subscription.

of course that would be Robert De Niro in The Mission
when he climbs the cliff in atonement for killing his brother and the Indians,
put a knife to his throat, he an ex slaver, and Jack Nicholson as the Joker
in Batman , any scene, the two best acted scenes
But of course means red flag, goes without saying means double check, cannot believe a word anybody says because of Tricky Dick and Trump Rump

Great finding CCMedia!!
Thank you!


Actually the Magazine addresses one of the best and hillarious so-called film-endings:

' Some Like It Hot '  (1959)

one of Billy Wilder's
Austrian-born brilliant filmaker/ producer iconic film

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Wilder

'The Fortune Cookie' (1966) film

Comedy
- Healt Insurance - 'No Fault' Claim/Compensation themed.

A crooked lawyer persuades his brother-in-law to feign a serious injury.

1.

-“…you never having all those beautiful nurses you see on television..”-

(To the nurse):  -“If you mind leaving us alone  for a little while..”-
(The nurse): “ I'd be delighted” (with sarcasm)*

2.

“Open your fortune cookie..*

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

“Let me see it..!

“Those Chinese… what would they know..!!”


   

*(hillarious: nurse's face' it's a crack)

Hospital scenes, doctors, nurses and hospital staff' roles are really funny

The scene I introduce today is 3 minutes 30 seconds long and has never been shown on the big screen -- it's a YouTube video.

The hilarious scene was captured on an I-phone and lightly edited .. and is titled
Funny Baby Attempts to Help Bath Stubborn Husky Puppy.  I have been watching it almost every day.  It is unscripted .. and cracks me up almost every time I watch.

The "plot" is that U.K. homeowner Paps wants to give the monthly bath to one of his three Siberian huskies, Lola, who naturally has other ideas.

The scene is brilliant comedy, because narrator Paps is so excellent at coaxing -- and channeling the mind of -- his 16-month-old doggo .. his photographer/fiancée is so adept at following Lola down the hallway and ultimately to the bathtub .. their pre-school age son Parker adds just the right touches of youthful levity .. and because Lola herself is a superstar!

--

Find it at www.youtube.com .. where you can insert the name of the video (see above) in the search box.  The entire piece is over 12 minutes long.  The portion I am commending is the first 3 minutes 30 seconds.
