For me, the scene in The Boondock Saints where the butch woman at the meat-packing plant kicks one of the brothers in the nards, the shot of the other brother knocking her out right after for some reason makes me laugh EVERY time I see it, and after seeing it dozens of times, it still amuzes me. Weird, eh?
Raw bacon is GREAT! It's like regular bacon, only faster, and it doesn't burn the roof of your mouth!

Happiness is green text in the "Stuff To Watch For" section.

Ono f my favorite rewatchable scenes is the musical battle between Ralph Macchio and an 80s hairband wannabee at the end of "Crossroads." It is something I never get tired of watching. Very cool scene with great music.    :teddyr:

- The opening television station pandemonium of DAWN OF THE DEAD.  Exactly how it will all happen when the zombie apocalypse starts...I hope you took notes.

- The countdown to the activation of the machine in CONTACT.  Sci-Fi films rarely reach this level of wonder and anticipation...sadly.

- The sequence right after Jonathon Kent dies in SUPERMAN...the funeral, the barn, that music all culminating in that sweeping Andrew Wyeth image of Clark and his mother in the field!  Quintessential American iconology at work.

- The tripod emerging out of the street in Jersey City from WAR OF THE WORLDS. 

- "Not this woman!" from THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. 

-  The "Dr Destructo" sequence from near the end of THIEF.  Pure Mann.

- Both the iceberg impact scene and the "Nearer My God To Thee" montage from TITANIC.

- The pig's propaganda film from TNT's ANIMAL FARM.  Napoleon, Mighty Leader!

- The opening montage from SOYLENT GREEN.  When they knew how the hell to open a movie.

- "The Grid" sequence from KOYAANISQATSI (Yup, you know the one I mean...all 14 minutes of it!)

- The "Trial" from the original PLANET OF THE APES.  Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil!

- Dan O'Herlihy explaining his diabolical motives from HALLOWEEN III.  "You thought no further than the tradition of sending your children out...begging for candy!"

- The s**t-kicker bar scene from NEAR DARK.  "Fever" performed by the Crammps!

- The Baseball Furies chase from THE WARRIORS.

- The St. Elmo's Fire scene from the Patrick Stewart MOBY DICK.  Kinetic!

- The culmination of Luke and Vader's duel from RETURN OF THE JEDI.  "Never!!!"  That tracking shot from under the staircase, the haunting male-choir driven variation John Williams employs here and nowhere else in the trilogy.  Topped by the thrilled Emperor and his awesome theme.  What an emotional surge in a film that was otherwise sadly under-realised.

- In BY DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT...the argument between Rip Torn and Jeffery DeMunn, each trying desperately to convice weak presidential successor Darren McGavin on how best to continue the catalytic nuclear war that's sprialling out of control.  A masterpiece of stage personalities that does not fail to chill.

Recently, the very final scene from BATMAN BEGINS is working it's way into my pantheon of fantastic scenes...That whole exchange on top of police headquarters with 'Lieutenant" Gordon discussing with Batman the inevitable escalation that his crusade will involve.  But the clincher..."I never said thank you." ... "And you'll never have to!" 

It's close but it just edges out the scene in Gordon's darkened office - "You're just one man?" ... "Now we're two."  Man am I a sap.
That's my driver's license picture....I hate that picture!"

Almost any scene from WHERE EAGLES DARE or A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS

Joe the Destroyer

Oddly enough, it's one quick two second scene on Ong-Bak where an MC pops up on the screen while people are evacuating a club/fighting arena and yells, "Music!"  and then starts doing this strange little dance.

My friends and I saw it fit one night after having some beers to loop this scene over and over again, and call friends and make them listen to it repeatedly, if not put it on their voice mails.  Needless to say, we got a lot of WTF's that night.
