Wait, come back! Not a frivolous thread. No more than the ext one, anyway.
At my cinema we have a bulletin board, and rather than decorate it with ready-made stuff from the teacher shop, I thought I'd decorate it for April with images from rainy scenes in movies, tying into "April Showers". I've come up with a few, but I'd love to know what else you suggest, and if there's a particularly striking image (or better yet, a screenshot) that you think would look cool.
Examples:
Gene Kelly on the lamppost in Singin' in the Rain
The "I'm glad it's you" shootout in Road to Perdition
The upside-down kiss in Spider-man (Not the bit a few seconds later. This is a family joint)
Kid Magneto's scuffle at the beginning of X-Men
(No video games please, Heavy Rain fans...)

Nice!
Particularly recognizable characters with umbrellas work too. (Too bad it doesn't rain in Batman Returns.)

Agreed, the following image is a bit too large and may cause problems for reader's browsers:

My answer is the same as before: the bus stop scene in My Neighbor Totoro.

The scene in Platoon when Charlie Sheen's character -- hidden under a poncho -- falls asleep on watch, wakes up, and spots a group of VC approaching.

It's good. I love the ending.
Good calls on Seven Samurai and Blade Runner.
This scene from Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

One of my favorite rain scene which I previously posted but deleted, is Daredevil when Affleck kisses Elektra on the roof. Very nice scene...pretty romantic and sad kinda.
