$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Laurasia', 'T')he scene at the end of the movie The Sixth Sense when Robin Williams realises he is dead. I went COLD all over! Talk about a twist in the tail!

That was awesome. How about at the end of Seven when Brad Pitt's wife's head is brought out special delivery in a basket to that field?

Another one: the scene in Primal Fear when Edward Norton's mild character first changes in the cell with Richard Gere present into the evil alter-ego

That was a great twist, alright - I sure didn't see it coming. I remember after watching it the first time, I had fun watching it again to see all the clues.

oh my, there are many scenes I can think of, but I think my all time favorite has to be the Outlaw Josey Wales, where Clint walks into the saloon, turns and looks at the bounty hunter, who is looking at him.

Josey Wales...."You a bounty hunter?"

Bounty Hunter..."Man's gotta make a livin' "

Josy Wales..." Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."


POW!

Yeah, that kicked ass. With Brad Pitt standing there screaming "Whats in the fucking box?" and Kevin Spacey says "It seems that envy is my sin..."

And then you realize in that instant that one sin has yet to show itself...Brilliant.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Michael Douglas just killed his brother Sean Penn mistakenly... then throws himself off the building just like his dad.

Only to discover... yet another plot twist!

OMG

I love the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where the furry pre-man picks up the thighbone and lets loose on his surroundings.

The scene from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" where Eli Wallach races through the Civil War military cemetery in a frenzied search to find treasure buried in a soldiers grave.

two scenes from Titanic: the lookout reports an iceberg ahead and keeps asking, "why isn't she turning!?" and then when Molly Brown (Kathy Bates) is standing in the life boat looking on as the ship is about to break in half and says, "oh my god!' Actually, there were a whole bunch of memorable scenes in that movie. Kate Winslet standing on her toes in the steerage party, the limey sailor in the life boat telling Molly to "shut that 'ole in your face", the people falling and hitting the enormous propeller like rag dolls, the sad violin music as the water rushes into the old couples apartment. terrific flick.

"All Quiet on the Western Front" 1930. Lewis Milestone, director:
The scene where the protagonist, Paul (Lew Ayres), as a WWI German soldier has to spend a terrifying night trapped in a shell crater with the corpse of an enemy soldier he has just killed. The moment when Paul's naive illusions are forever stripped away by the horror and sheer stupidity of killing other human beings just because some "authority" says so.

Soliliquy: "Oh God, why did they do this to us? We only wanted to live, you and I...."

A brilliant film. (Best Picture, 1930) Watch a gang of innocent young recruits destroyed by cynicism, despair, bullets, and madness. Timeless; things haven't changed; young men (and women) are still dying, while TPTB play word games--(surge? or escalation?? How about MURDER)...

My favourite comedy of all time was Blackadder. It had very meaningful messages subtly going through it.

ONe of the most riveting scenes I remember was when the Tripod came out of the ground in NYC with Tom Cruise and his friends watching it from War of the Worlds. I think I left indentions on the armrest from my hands grabbing so hard.
Also from the movie Signs when Mel Gibson moves the tv at the end and you can see the aliens reflection....creepy stuff. There were several scenes from that movie that totally freaked me out.
The opening scene in Gladiator in the battle with the Germans was pretty memorable too.

An animated scene that I loved was in Toy Story, when Woody and Buzz are at the gas station and Woody is exasperated with Buzz. The look on Woody's face is priceless, just before he says, "You......are......a.....TOY! You're not the real Buzz Lightyear, GAAA....You're an ACTION FIGURE!

I laugh so much every time I watch that movie.
