41. Put your lips together and blow-To Have and Have Not (1944):  Lauren Bacall was 19 years old when she made her debut in this film. Wow. Simply wow.

42. A boulder- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981): Ford did the stunt himself. Although not a real boulder, it still could have seriously injured him.

43. The parachute- The Spy Who Loved Me (1977): This might be the greatest Bond movie stunt. The British flag on the parachute was a nice touch.

44. Laser- Gold finger (1964): This might be the most iconic Bond scene. Do you expect me to talk? No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.

45. The Indianapolis- Jaws (1975): You’d think Robert Shaw (Quint) served aboard the Indianapolis. This scene immortalized the experience of that crew during the Second World War.

46. The Conversation: Pacino meets De Niro- Heat (1995): This is the scene fans waited 20 years for and neither actor disappointed.

47. The Battle- Gladiator (2000): How did the Romans conquer the world? Watch the opening scene in Gladiator. Although not completely accurate, the scene demonstrates superior Roman discipline, technology, and tactics.

48. Win one for the Gipper- Knute Rockne: All American (1940): Even if Reagan had not become president, this scene would have been remembered. Reagan’s political career turned it into legend.

49. Fredo goes fishing- Godfather II (1974): Michael Corleone proved completely heartless when wacking his brother and then blaming his death on drowning.

50. Kong vs. airplanes-King Kong (1933): Kong was not the villain in this Depression-era film. Instead, it was the capitalists and those that wanted to conquer nature.
