Favorite single scene
 

Some movies seem to be made solely on the strength of one very good scene (making the rest of the movie filler). Nevertheless, my favorite scene has to be the "stunt double" from "I'm gonna git you sucka." maybe its because the whole movie was kind of meh, making that scene all the more surprising and funnier.

post yours :)

I like the scene in Punch-Drunk Love after the brothers ram into Barry's car and he sees Lena is bleeding he gets out of the cars and kicks ass.

I don't have just one favorite (so I might post again) but this one comes to mind.

The whole tansformation sequence from Murphy to Robocop, from the execution sequence to the part where he first sees himself in the TV monitors as he walks past the crowd of exec-techs. I shed tears in the middle part.

Probably the scene in <b>Werckmeister Harmóniák</b> where János explains the movement of the planets to the bar full of drunks.

For a combination of cinematography, music, plot revelation and star power, this is pure movie magic.

The "100-Mile Dash" in The Incredibles. An action sequence that's just as much about character development as it is thrilling cinema? I'm in love!

The moment in IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD when the entire star cast suddenly realizes that Captain Culpepper (Spencer Tracy) is not heading back to the police station with the case of money but is heading off on his own and they scramble back into the two cabs to give chase. I leap up in my seat every time I see that.
