Default Favorite scenes from movies (or favorite movies)

I'll do some of mine, off the top of my head, with explanations

As a kid:

When I was around 6 years old, I would fast forward to the final fight of my favorite movie, Sleeping Beauty. I probably watched it like 30 times. I used to fantasize that I was the knight, riding in to fight Maleficent. I thought Maleficent was the scariest cartoon villain I had ever seen up to this point, and I remember thinking how cool it was that a kids movie used the word "hell" lol

I used to think Maleficent was the scariest cartoon villain, that is, until I also saw THIS movie at a very young age:

A helpless mother attempts to go to the lair of some hyper-intelligent rats (who learned to utilize electricity) to seek their help, and the first one she comes across attempts to passionlessly hunt her down and kill her without ever uttering a word or appearing to care at all for what she was saying. This scene really rattled me as a kid, kicking the pedestal out of under me and teaching me that this might be possible with some people or parts of the world. This whole movie was really good, one of my favs as a kid

The most inspiring scene from one of my favorite movies. The message of become who you were born to be beautifully portrayed here

This entire scene is pure poetry in cinema. First it has one of the best musical scores in a movie ever. It begins with a character who'd made some mistakes redeeming himself in the end by sacrificing himself to being burned to death instead of the main char. Then we have a chase where a young native american man tries to save his love. You can see the realization on his face after he suffers a grievous cut from the main villain where he realizes he is outmatched and doomed, but is determined to go down fighting. Then you have his love who just watched him die trying to save her, decide to kill herself rather than be raped by Magua and his men, tragically not realizing that help was only a few minutes behind. Then you have the father of the young man killed, amazingly portraying a deadpan calm look of "you are going to die for killing my son" in a way that you can tell there was rage burning beneath it. The only flaw of this scene is the unrealistic shooting accuracy of the main character, basically never missing while dual wielding guns that were historically notorious for missing

Definitely NOT what most people would pick as the most memorable scene from the movie Requiem For A Dream, but this scene has made lists as one of the best-acted monologues in movies. I just remember this scene because of the amazing acting, she used to make me very worried about growing old alone



Ok that's it but I'll probably suggest some more as others come to me. Feel free to post some of yours!
