...Geddit?
Does the whole of The Philadelphia Story count as one scene?.....I guess not.
I saw Doom recently so I'll say the first person shooter sequence.
The Return of the King - when the Rohirrim arrive at Pelennor Fields and Theoden rallies them for the final charge. There's so much emotion in that scene that it still gets to me... from their initial despair at facing such a vast, inhuman horde, to Theoden's grim determination to make a proud, defiant strike even if it's hopeless, to the passion and courage that drives the riders to charge - and break - the lines of the enemy even though they're vastly outnumbered.
For me, there's just something supernatural about this sequence that sets it apart from anything else I've seen in a movie. It's a beautiful scene, but also filled with the blunt brutality of close combat. It also demonstrates what might be called 'pure courage' - doing the right thing, for the right reason, even though you mightn't have a chance of succeeding. Unlike other war movies, it's not about politics or territory, about men killing each other for money; it's about the simple fight for survival and for a future. A motivation that's far easier to connect with and appreciate, compared with most similar scenes.
I always liked the scene in Unbreakable from where Bruce Willis' character is standing in the mall, to after he rescues the family in that house. I can't explain it in words, because I suck at words, but I think it's a very powerful scene. I love it and rewatch the movie just for that one part. Although it helps that the rest of the movie is just as good. :D
There are loads of things from Constantine too. The bathtub scene, when he meets the Devil. :( The whole damn thing.
The Shawshank Redemption: The part when he's escaped and drops to his knees in the rain and thunder.
The Fischer King: The scene were their all waltzing in the train station.
The part in Army of Darkness where he explains his 'Boomstick' to the old medieval people.
Cowboy bebop the Movie: (SPOILER)The final fight between Spike and Vincent, where Vincent wonders if everythings a dream, and if the butterflys are the only reality Somehting along those lines.
