There are films that gave us great entertainment, gave us
hope, and some gave us unforgettable scenes. These are scenes that instantly
comes to your mind whenever you come across the film’s poster, name or even a
song that was used in that particular scene. From all the uncountable films I’ve
seen, here are the best of the lot. The links for each scene is given below the scene title.
*Spoiler Alert*
10) ‘The End of All Things’ – Lord of the Rings: The Return
of the King (2003)
 |
| Nothing better than reliving best moments with your true best friend |
If you were a fan during the time when we had to wait eagerly
for a year until the next movie, you’ll know how much this scene means. There were many great scenes in this saga
especially the battle scenes but this is the utter standout. After completing
their remarkable journey and beating every odd a Hobit could face, Elijah Wood
and Sean Astin looks back at the small things we take for granted like the
sound of birds, touch of grass, rivers, fireworks, home and childhood
sweetheart. Capped with its beautiful background music, it was the best ever thing I’ve seen in the cinema.

someone, it would had been her” – Samwise Gamgee
9) ‘You Talking to Me?’ - Taxi Driver (1976)
 |
| That's some good practice indeed |
In this self-monologue scene in a completely empty room,
Robert de Niro practises his stunt in front of the camera. This is by no means
an easy feat. Many have tried doing this including celebrities and even WWF wrestlers
but failed miserably. It certainly looks easy but it is definitely not when you
have to talk in a scene when you are completely alone. Robert de Niro does this
to perfection.
8) ‘French Pub’ – Inglorious Basterds (2009)
 |
| Michael Fassbender certainly did not do his homework. |
Wonder how the situation of Nazi occupied French bar will
look like around World War 2? This scene is the answer. The opening scene of
this film was equally good but this scene had a gory touch to pip this spot.
Just remember how to show the German three and you can imitate as one or else…..you
get the point.
7) ‘You can’t handle the truth!’ – A Few Good Men (1992)
 |
| Did Jack Nicholson ordered the code red? |
Imagine Tom Cruise, Kevin Bacon and a certain Jack Nicholson
as a colonel in a courtroom. That is intense enough. Jack Nicholson gives an
Oscar worthy cameo performance and this scene has to go down as the best
courtroom scene ever.
6) ‘Omaha Beach’ – Saving Private Ryan (1998)
 |
| The beach that turned red |
In this Steven Spielberg epic, this scene is probably the
most brutal way ever to start a film and which is certainly not for the faint
hearted. It exposes the vulnerability and fear of war. The day when the sand
and sea turned red was on this day.
5) ‘Good for you Marty’ – Primal Fear (1996)
 |
| Aaron or Roy? |
When everything seems done and dusted, your biggest fears
come to play. Edward Norton showed why he was nominated playing this complex
role and this scene also showed that sometimes we just got to live with the
ugly truth as we have no choice but to do so.
4) ‘Russian Roulette’ – The Deer Hunter (1978)
 |
| 5/6 survival odds, doesn't sound bad, does it? |
The highlight of this Oscar winning film comes when Robert
de Niro invites Christopher Walken to play with fire in this game of death with
Vietnamese soldiers. Dare to shoot yourself in the head with only one bullet in
a six chamber pistol? Will you?
3) ‘How the F**k am I Funny?’ –Goodfellas (1990)
 |
| Never be too comfortable around Joe Pesci |
A happy moment among friends turns out to be an awkward situation
for Ray Liotta. Legendary director Martin Scorsese certainly knows how to write
a script. Joe Pesci won the Oscar for
this role and he certainly deserved it. Enough said.
2) ‘What’s in the Box?’ – Se7en (1999)
 |
| When you realize you messed up |
A question asked by Brad Pitt with Morgan Freeman knowing
the answer first and which was planned by Kevin Spacey. It explains everything on
why would he surrender when he just 2 kills away from completing his
masterpiece.
1) ‘Table Talk’ – Heat (1995)
 |
| The face-off between 2 of Hollywood's best ever actors |
Al Pacino as a police officer and
Robert de Niro as a gangster sitting face to face at the table, what more could
you ask for? This scene is simply brilliant as it shows the views of two very
different careers like the sacrifices made being a police and also a mob
gangster. None is going to bow down and give up of course. The level of ego and
class involved was just too high. It left me with no choice than to place this as the #1 spot.
