There are several for me.

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990): When Splinter and Danny are talking, and Splinter asks about his parents. And gives a line that's become even more powerful since I lost my dad last year - "All fathers care for their sons."

• Waking Life: Really this whole movie, because it's just scene after scene of interesting ideas and great dialogue, which, thanks to the way the movie is built, doesn't need to be super-connected. But I guess the scene i keep coming back to is when Wiley is with an old man in what looks like a bar. It ends with a powerful line: "Which is the most dominant human trait - fear? Or laziness?"

• Johnny Mnemonic: "I! WANT! ROOM SERVICE!" Just a great delivery and a real show of how he's gotten to the end of his rope.

• Midnight in Paris: Hemingway's introductory scene.

• Casablanca: The ending especially, but also La Marseillaise vs. the Nazi anthem.

• The Third Man: The Merry-Go-Round scene. It's a chilling look into villainy, and the obvious fact that Harry Lime was not always the monster he is in the film - because he can't look at his victims as people. It's why The Lives of Harry Lime worked as a radio show.

I come back to the opening scene in The Newsroom all the time... It seems more and more relevant every time.

Restate my assumptions scene in PI https://youtu.be/ShdmErv5jvs

The fight scene in Kung Fu Hustle, where the 3 fighters ban together against the gang terrorizing the town. The music is also perfect in that scene.

I initially read this as favorite films and came to say The Princess Bride or Clue. But for favorite scenes, I’d say the one where Inigo is growing impatient waiting for the Man in the Mask to scale the mountain or the part of Clue where the butler races around the mansion trying to explain the murders

I'm gonna double dip here in the comments and add my second favorite, the Rogue Two scene from "The Empire Strikes Back".

Heat: The moment Val Kilmer’s smile switches to him opening fire in a busy LA street, along with the next 5-10 minutes of action.

The final showdown in “Kelly’s Heroes”.

The last “two dollars” bit that leads into the ski race in “Better Off Dead”.

When Bond chases the parkour guy at the beginning of “Casino Royale”.

The Day of the Dead parade that opens “Spectre”.

The Match Cut and Ali’s Well scenes from “Lawrence of Arabia”. Most beautiful cinematography ever, IMO.

The bank heist opening of The Dark Knight is perfectly structured and paced.

I don't feel the need to revisit this scene as it shows up in my head a lot. It really haunts me.

And now I can't think of scene I actually want to revisit.

The Big Lebowsi

The tears in the rain scene, Blade Runner

This scene from Event Horizon. That shot of Sam Neil's face, his expression, the sound of the scream. Holy fucken hell I laugh every time.

Lecter’s escape in Silence of the Lambs. It’s just incredible.

The final scene of Last of the Mohicans - https://youtu.be/gD82Psv64Uw

Such an emotonally charged, beautifully shot scene with the perfect rising score. I get a lump in my throat every time I watch it.

The hallway/hammer scene from Oldboy.

That continuous shot is astounding every time.

The Empire Strikes Back asteroid chase, a perfect blend of music and action.

Samuel L. Jackson in Jurassic Park. Everytime I pull out in traffic I tell my family, "Hold on to your butts!"
