Greatest Movie Scenes of all Time #11-30

11. The Showdown- The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966): A very different type of showdown. It takes forever for the characters to draw which leads to heightening of tension.

12. Jumping -Butch and Sundance (1969): This scene sums up the buddy flick. Newman and Redford at their best. The fall will probably kill you!

13. Wanna have a catch?- Field of Dreams (1989): One of a handful of movie scenes where guys are allowed to cry.

14. Atlanta burns- Gone with the Wind (1939): They deserved it.

15. Patton and the flag- Patton (1970): George C. Scott channels Patton and the American right in this scene and movie.

16. The Red Sea Parts-The Ten Commandments (1956): Don’t mess with Charlton Heston. In real life, the Egyptians were either hit by high tide or a tsunami.

17. Two Hills of beans/Into the Myst- Casablanca (1942): Rick’s true colors come out at the end. Bogart is the classic anti-hero.

18. The Chase- Bullitt (1968): Probably the first major movie car chase scene. Starts slow and picks up. Metallica copied it in a video.

19. Baptism by Fire-The Godfather (1972): Wacking the heads of the families while attending a baptism. Classic.

27. Boom-The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957): Obi Wan realizes his mistake at the end and the bridge is blown. In real life, the bridge still stands today.
