I love the scene in Centre Stage where they do the whole dance at the end with "Canned Heat" as the theme music. It makes me get up and dance everytime. I want her red points! And Bridget Jones' diary with Colin firth (*melt*) "I like you, just the way you are". *sigh*

A few off the top of my head:

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind – The final sequence at the beach house: “Meet me in Montauk.”

Amadeus – Mozart dictates his requiem to Salieri.

Moulin Rouge – Come What May reprise, as Christian returns to Satine *warm fuzzies :D*

The Pianist – Wladyslaw plays piano for the German officer. Also, the one lingering shot of Wladyslaw hobbling through a silent, decimated street.

Elizabeth – The final scene. “Observe Lord Burghley. I am married. To England.”

The Lion King – the wildebeest stampede. It’s still astounding.

Star Wars Episode I – (although most of it sucked) Obi-wan vs Darth Maul

Schindlers List – Liquidation of the Krakow ghetto, Schindler watches the little girl in red. Plus the ending as Schindler berates himself: “I didn’t do enough!” “You did so much.”

Lost in Translation - Bob and Charlotte are lying silently in bed together. He gently grabs her foot. I don't know, it just gets me. There are lots of little moments in this film I love.

Singin’ in the Rain – “I can’t stand him.” - “I caaayn’t staaynd im’” - “I can’t stand him.” - “I caayn’t staaynd im’” – “Can’t!” – “Caaayn’t!” – “Can’t!” – “Caaayn’t!” :D

Or when Charlotte is sitting by the apartment window by herself staring into the distance.

Downfall- When Speer leaves the Chancellory after saying his last farewells to Hitler, then turns around after taking a few steps out of the courtyard to cast one last glance over the ruined Chancellory building- the Chancellory building that he built! and with an expression of such powerful emotion- clearly reminising over the Hitler years and probaly hatching his plan to survive Nuremburg.

Empire Strikes Back- The Battle of Hoth scene at the start fo the film, with an emphasis on Luke's rear gunner, Dack.

Before the battle, in the hanger as Rouge Squadron prepares-

LUKE: "how you feeling Dack?"
DACK: "right now I feel like I could take on the whole Empire!"

During battle, as Luke lines up his snowspeeder for a run on an Imperial AT-AT walker-

LUKE: "OK Dack! Prepare tow cable!"
DACK: <no response>
LUKE: Dack? DACK?!!

<Luke turns around to see Dack slumped over his control panel, blood streaming from his forehead>.

LUKE: "Echo Base, I've lost my gunner!"

Troy- Hector-Achilles dual outside Troy gates.

DragonBall Z- In the Cell Saga, when Tien is able to hold off second-stage Cell with continuous Tri-Beam Flare attacks, each one sapping his energy and knowing that should he run out of energy, Cell would kill him.

Johnny Eager; the exchange between Johnny and his drunkard friend before he strikes him in anger. The dialogue between the two toward the end of the film is heartbreaking. I'd like to thank Van Heflin for the most subtly sympathetic portrayal of homosexuality ever to cross the dark path of quick-witted film noir. Very well played.

Plus all of Harvey
And everything after the [1971] chocolate factory.

Reservoir Dogs- Mr Blonde's first appearance in the warehouse
"You gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite."

Saving Private Ryan- The Glider Pilot discussing his landing.
"Well that’s like trying to fly a freight train, gross overload, trim characteristics all shot to hell. I nearly broke both my arms trying to keep her level."

The German prisoner at the Radar installation begging for his life.
"Please, I like America! Fancy schmancy! What a cinch! Go fly a kite! Cat got your tongue! Hill of beans! Betty Boop, what a dish. Betty Grable, nice gams."

The Mechwarrior IV Intro- Watching a bad actor with a terrible overbite, pit his Vulture against two Uziel's, Two Nova Cats and a Chimera.
"Centric Guard, I have contact with main enemy force inside Centeral Courtyard.... I'll delay them here as long as I can." (Around 30 Seconds, all he manages to do is strip a Nova Cat's right arm before his Mech is ashes.)

Band of Brothers- Walking through a forest, Episode 9
Perconte: "Hey, George...doesn't this place remind you of Bastogne?"

Luz (nods): "Sure. I mean, except for I have hot food in my belly, it isn't covered in snow, and the trees aren't FUCKING EXPLODING...yeah, it kinda looks like Bastogne..... Bull, will you hit him for me please."

Haha.. I see you found that fundamentalist Christian review site as well. It's gold stuff. Their review of Cruel Intentions was particularly hilarious if my memory serves.

I like all those butAmerican Beauty when it goes all dark at the end is very good. I still think the direction in AB is totally and utterly inpeccable.

As for LIT the best part is the ending and the ear whisper.
