Last Tango In Paris

Marlon Brando viewing his dead wife.

Brando at his best.

Pure, raw emotion.

My vote for all-time best is from Paint Your Wagon - delivered by Lee Marvin.

This eugoogly: "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think. If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."

Maybe not the best, but gotta throw The Two Towers: Extended Edition in there.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the beginning of The Rock with Ed Harris. That scene is incredible with the music and everything going on (especially the Criterion with DTS).
