Kind of surprised that I couldn't find something like this (unless I overlooked something, lol).

Anyway. As the titles says: what are some of your favourite movie scenes?
Or series, if you prefer that, I guess.
 
I beleive I may have mentioned this in another thread, but there was a specific scene from the LEGO Ninjago movie that I really enjoyed, namely that montage scene. I'm not really going to go describe it outside the below spoiler since it's only truly great when you appreciate the context and such, but I will say that it's worth the price of admition alone, so you'll know it when you see it.
The main villian has a montage where he teaches his son how to throw stuff (something he wasn't there to do on account of being, y'know, evil), all with the appropriate country music in the background. Oh, and the stuff that is being thrown is used to aid in their escape from a lot of figgures (heh) that want said main villian (and everyone else present) dead. As I said, it works much better in the actual movie itself, so sorry if you haven't seen it yet.

Also, the scene afterwards with the arm is just as good (if not better), that too.

I mean there's also plenty of other movie scenes I liked, but I'm too tired to think of them now so...
 
- Any scene from The Shawshank Redemption
- The final scene from Gladiator
- The final scene from The Truman Show

And more I can't think of right now. And from recent memory: the scene from Baby Driver where Baby gets chased by the police with the song Hocus Pocus playing in the background.
 
One scene that always amuses me is the scene in Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where Veruca gets her Golden Ticket and upon receiving it she says "daddy, I want another pony." I thought it was funny because spoiled brats on TV always seem to ask for ponies, and Veruca's so spoiled that she has a pony but wants another one.

Just about any scene from Mommie Dearest qualifies (particularly the wire hanger scene and the scene where Joan and Christina get into a fight). It's a movie that tries to be dramatic but fails in every way, thanks to its ridiculously over-the-top acting. The first time I saw it I laughed through the entire thing.
 
3 words: "Beat it doofus"


In all seriousness though, one of my favourites would need to be the "which way?" scene from A Goofy Movie. It's actually pretty powerful to see Goofy of all people go into pure tranquil fury.

As for others, it's slightly embarrassing that I'm having trouble thinking of other movies, let alone specific scenes.
 
Personally, I think my favourite scene must be the one from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, where Spirit is trying to throw the Sherif guy off. It's funny, and I just love the movie overall. It was a big part of my childhood.

Seconded.

There was once a time where I could rewatch the airport scene from Cars 2 (my guiltiest of pleasures) without getting bored. Constant forward motion! Actual plane terminology! A couple of throwaway lines hinting at a far more interesting story than the one this movie is telling! Jason Isaacs mumbling half of his lines... a really juvenile visual gag... okay, maybe it's not all good.

I honestly think Cars 2 was held back by trying to appeal to all ages. It felt like Pixar kept putting stupid things in it to remind you that, yes, this film with a torture scene is still for kids. I really want to make a video about how I would improve it, by either:
  1. Making it 100% a parody of spy movies.
  2. Making it 100% serious by having the moral be that "the Terminator" (as I like to call him) has to mentally grow up.
  3. Making it 100% serious by having all the characters from the first movie in the background, making it an expanded universe thing, and the plot being about the spies solving a mystery and realising how messed up the World of Cars actually is. And before you say that's too deep for Cars, see my previous post in this thread.
 
I was re-watching a certian classic movie recently, and I was reminded of how much I like a particular scene in it. As for which scene I'm talking about... Well, it involves two brothers taking a trip through a rather spacious mall, set to some catchy music.

Also, a lot of property is damaged. That too.

This'll have spoilers.

The Last Jedi - Praetorian Guard Fight Scene.

The King and I - When the King and Anne are dancing together. Childhood + classic = not gay

The Force Awakens - Rey and Finn fleeing Jakku. I get so hyped on this. Also, the whole Rathar debacle is hugely entertaining.

Gremlins - When Billy's mom is killing everything.

Jurassic Park series - When the dinosaurs are getting killed. Oh god yes.

I'll be adding to this. I've watched about five hundred movies so I've naturally not remembering them all. Or even half. Or a quarter. It's not an exaggeration, either. Did a movie count in 2010 and it was roughly three hundred, and then on my media player there's a hundred, and we've added about a hundred more to our physical collection.

The whole Throne Room scene in Return of the Jedi,
particularly Luke's near fall and ultimate choice to turn away from the dark side, and the redemption and sacrifice of Anakin Skywalker.

Gotta be one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history.
 
Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew - When Team Rocket is absorbed by the antibodies. Made me feel real sad for their Pokémon.
Orphan - Kate's fight with Leena. Loved when she broke Leena's neck with a kick.
The Conjuring 2 - Lorraine's vision in Ed's study about her encounter with Valak.
