Favourite scene ever?

I watched "One Night At McCools" a couple of days ago and saw what I consider to be scriptwriting genius!If I mention the "gay cop and leather guy followed by YMCA shootout!" ,those of you that have seen this film will know what I'm talking about.Anyone who hasn't should see this film,the last 10-15 mins are absolutely hilarious.So anyway,it got me thinking,what stands out in other peoples minds as that one scene from a film you could watch again and again?I have a suspicion a lot of people won't be able to stop at just the one and that's fine!Maybe I'll even get some viewing ideas.

Film: Goodfellas

Scene:


Joe Pesci is describing a painting in his mothers house.

It goes something like this.


"This dogs looking one way, this dogs looking the other way"


"The guy with the beards saying: what d'ya want from me?"


Genius.

I like the scene in braindead where he's getting picked on in the graveyard by some local thugs claiming he's wearing "girlie grits". One of the chaps start ******* on his mothers grave and gets attacked buy said mother. Zombie hell breaks loose and up pops a ninja cleric who says " Time for devine intervention" followed by " I kick ass for the lord" and starts kicking some zombie butt.

classic ( my description doesn't do it justice).

Come on guys - there's no contest, it's got to be the Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken scene in True Romance.


I could watch it over and over.

Christopher Walken scene in Pulp Fiction......can't beat that.

"So, he hid it!.....in one place he knew he could hide somethin'........his ass!"

Many scenes in T2.

Or the Bill Paxton / Arnie bit in True Lies. Soooo funny.
"Vat about der huzbandz?"
"Dickless!"

Favourite scene ever?
Mine has to be the opening car park brawl in Way of The Gun.
Definitely not PC.

I'd have to choose the "I didn't vote for you....." as Arthur rides (with his coconut bearer) through the field of peasants over that particular scene.
