Film & storytelling are my 2 passions. I just love film, with all my heart. I decided to make a Thread I made on other sites here, letting everyone share their favorite moments in the history of film, based on any reason, or genre. They are the scenes that make us laugh, cry, and inspire us deep down as writers and story tellers.
I've compiled a top 10 list, but feel free to waver from this format as you wish.
SPOILER ALERT!
Some small parts from some films are about to be spoiled, so if you see a movie you haven't seen, skip over the scene description.
10. The ending of
(Stephen King's The Mist)
Amazing movie... If you haven't seen it, you should.

9. Barry Champlain's meltdown rant
(Talk Radio)
Really dark, gritty comedic film. Eric Bogosian is a phenomenal actor who did an amazing job in this odd, but classic must-see. You have to watch this film if you have thick skin, and aren't easily offended.

8. Sammy's death
(I Am Legend)
Gets me every time.

7. The death of Optimus Prime
(Transformers 2)
A heart breaking, but honorable end...

6 Tommy's restaurant scene
(Goodfellas)
"You want a laugh. Last week this prick asked me to christen his kid."
Classic scene, classic film.

5. Coach D'Amato's "Inch By Inch" speech
(Any Given Sunday)
Amazing... truly inspirational.

4. Jules quotes Ezekiel 25:17
(Pulp Fiction)
"Say what again!"
Samuel L. Jackson, one of my favorite actors. Genius movie that's still before it's time, because kids don't get it. They don't talk about it, don't know what it is.

3. Frodo is reunited with the Fellowship
(Return of The King)
Powerful, moving scene. After all that was done, seen, and gone through, it just grabs you by the heart strings and starts yanking for dear life.

2. Doc Holiday vs Johnny Ringo
(Tombstone)
"Why Johnny Ringo... you look like somebody just, walked over your grave."
Val Kilmer's performance as the legendary gunman, John "Doc" Holiday in the 1993 film Tombstone is my favorite screen personality of all time, with an array of memorable quotes. Tombstone is modern western film at it's very best.

1. Littefoot's mother appearing to him in a cloud
(The Land Before Time)
I saw this movie in the theater as a small boy in 1988. That scene made me ball my eyes out to my mother's surprise, and I left that theater with a budding passion for story telling and film that has lead me here today.
(This was the ONE scene I could not find on youtube. It's just not there, lol)
