Monumental scenes a film just couldn't have done without

First topic message reminder :

Your favourite scenes that turned a poor film into an ok film, or an ok film into a good film, or a good film into……you get the idea...


Kick-Ass – Hit-Girl goes a bit mental & ruins Razul's apartment
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest – the final scene with the chief tearing apart the hydrotherapy room
Amadeus – nagging mother-in-law turning into the Queen of the Night aria
Life Of Brian – Brian arguing with his followers from his bedroom
Talk Radio – the calls over the closing credits while Telephone & Rubber Band plays
Nights of Cabiria – the look into the camera
Once Were Warriors – cook the man some f****** eggs
Pulp Fiction – opening scene in the diner
Silence of the lambs – the angel of death
Goodfellas – The "how the f*** am I funny?" scene
Let the Right One In – the swimming pool scene near the end

& two from hopelessly bad films that remained hopelessly bad films:
The Room – "you are tearing me apart Lisa"
Troll 2 – "They're eating her! And then they're going to eat me! OHHHHHH MYYYYYY GODDDDD!!!!!"

Oh, and the scene on the Odessa steps in Battleship Potemkin

Or in The Untouchables.

The opening scene from Star Wars: A New Hope. The spaceship comes past the camera under heavy fire and JUST KEEPS COMING. One of THE most iconic sequences of oppression in cinema, ever.

Opening scene from The Cannonball Run. Lamborghini Countach at full chat. A screaming V12 and two girls in figure-hugging bodysuits. What more do you need to set a scene?!
