Thought id start another video thread.. highlighting peoples favourite great movie scenes..

Nice way for people to find out about great films they may not have watched..

This is one of mine.... The filming of all the helicopters together is superb, obviously the second half of the video is quite brutal but thats part of the film.

I remember the first time i watched it, was quite impressed.

Apocalypse Now - The Ride Of The Valkyries Scene

The Usual Suspects.......finding out he is Keyser Soze.....just amazing !!!

Lots of other good scenes in other films but off the top of my head most of Aliens (I bet you could remember at least 10 quotes from that film), Terminator 2, the bit in Gladiator where he is in Rome and unveils himself as Maximus (the music score is brill).

Trouble is films were great and amazing at the time but soon fade, look at the Matrix.....was amazing when it came out but by the 3rd film I was expecting more......and dont get me started on the recent Star Wars films

I still like the scene in Swordfish when a hostage is pulled out of the bank and the bomb goes off!!

Much better on a big screen with surronud sound!!

not for the squemish or under 18 but imo was an epic opening to a film
watched with sound surround the bullets are literally buzzing around your ears truly awesome

I was going to post the video of the gunfight outside the bank in "Heat", But can't find a decent vid anywhere.
My second choice...
The iconic scene where Willem Dafoe is gunned down in Platoon

Hardly epic movie scenes, But funny as hell...
