Top 10 Movie Scenes of All Time

1. Statue of Liberty- Planet of the Apes (1968): The film is about the world turned upside down. It fits 1968 very well. The last scene is mind blowing. Dr. Zeus was correct. Taylor would not like what he found. The movie is especially disconcerting because movie goers were used to Charlton Heston coming out on top. Here, he’s trapped with no way out.

2. D-Day Invasion- Saving Private Ryan (1998): I was shell shocked after this half hour. Actual Normandy survivors authenticated its accuracy.

3. La Marseillaise- Casablanca (1942): This was filmed during World War II and after the fall of Paris. The emotions are genuine making this an extremely powerful scene.

4. Stuff that dreams are made of- Maltese Falcon (1941): The best scene in the best film of the Noir genre.

5. Russian Roulette- The Deer Hunter (1978): Another Vietnam movie. If you want to know the American psyche right after Vietnam, watch this film. This particular scene is the most intense in movie history courtesy Robert De Niro and Christopher Walken.

6. I love the smell of napalm in the morning-Apocalypse Now (1979): This scene served as an analogy for American involvement in Vietnam. Cowboys in helicopters mindlessly blowing stuff up while concentrating on surfing.

7. Chariots- Ben Hur (1959): First Century Nascar!

8. Stirling Speech- Braveheart (1995): The battle scene was completely wrong due to budgetary constraints, but Mel gives the greatest movie speech of all time. It has since been parodied and copied to the hilt. The best knock off starred Bob Newhart as Braveheart.

9. Horses Head- Godfather(1972): Frank Sinatra gets to star in From Here to Eternity...

10. My name is Gladiator- Gladiator (2000): The wronged general travels to Rome as a slave and faces down the emperor in public. Great tension between Russell Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix.

Greatest Movie Scenes #41-50

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYSzx_zy-98

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIHNUt1gw7A

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7oms_hG-Pc

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.
