To stop the credits thread being bogged down in what are essentially movie scenes, but also because it's a great topic in general. Videos please. No spoilers, descriptions welcome. To get the ball rolling:

Great thread idea. These two immediately popped into my mind. The first for the dialogue/acting. The second for the aesthetics and the creepy Lynch weirdness.

Just a short clip of the most famous scene in Rififi - it goes on for about half an hour with barely a sound. It's amazing. Can't find it on youtube, sorry

Pretty much every scene from Goodfellas is unbelievable, but somehow the one where he returns home after a few weeks of Mafia work to his wife who yells at him for being gone, and he just laughs in her face and walks back out the door, killed me with laughter when I watched it for the first time.

Everytime i see anyone mention this type of thing its my first thought. Remember the first time i watched it with the lights switched off an being blown away by it. That Vid i posted doesnt do it justice. Its a gorgeous piece of Cinematography

If you haven't seen Band of Brothers I'd highly recommend it. It's not really a show that can be "spoiled" as such, but I think a scene such as this is all the more impactful if you're immersed in the series.

This clip is actually missing what I think is the strongest part. Just before this scene you see a lone soldier running back to report what they'd seen on patrol.

"Major Winters, sir. We found something. We're out on patrol and we came across this..."
"What, what, what? Frank, Frank, what is it?"
"I don't know sir. I don't know."

"The Bonnie Situation" in Pulp Fiction is my favourite ever movie scene. Closely followed by Bricktop's "Nemesis" monologue.

The whole Bobby Duvall sequence as Lt Col Kilgore in "Apocalypse Now" is up there too.

Great thread idea mate. I'm gonna go with a very little seen but great and hilarious Elaine May movie, that everyone needs to see: A new leaf.

Plot from wiki:

"Henry Graham, a playboy from a wealthy patrician family, has run through his entire inheritance and is completely unequipped to provide for himself, with his greedy uncle Harry refusing to lend him any more money. His valet Harold suggests to a suicidal Henry that he should marry into wealth. With a $50,000 loan from Harry to tide him over, Henry has just six weeks to find a rich bride and repay the money, otherwise he must forfeit all of his property to his uncle."

This particular scene is my favourite and it's a great illustration of Matthau and May's characters and their relationship dynamic.

This particular scene is my favourite

Reminds me of this scene in Baisers Volés (Stolen Kisses) by Truffaut. There's no subtitles but they're remarkably not needed. Although, in the beginning, Christine says that she will teach him everything that she knows and Antoine can teach her everything that he knows.
Speaking of cinematic grace, this scene is quite something.

That's great mate. You're right, I don't understand a word of french but that was incredibly universal. I recently watched the 400 blows from Truffaut (a big blindspot of mine) and had "Shoot the Piano Player" and "Day for Night" earmarked as next, but think I might give that a watch as it seems right up my alley. Cheers.

It’s still an extraordinary scene really…. Really has gravitas and a ‘weight’ to the ships that you don’t get with pure cgi
