This gets my vote. As far as I can recall, the scene serves no other purpose than “go see Swordfish, it’s got Halle Berry’s bare tits”! God, that was an awful movie. I’m pretty sure it would also get the award for Most inaccurate depiction of computer hacking.
Best “Aha! You only THOUGHT I was dead!” moment
Michael Myers sitting upright after Jamie Lee Curtis has ‘killed’ him in the original Halloween. Probably didn’t start this cliche, but I bet 90% of the examples afterward are inspired by it.
Best amnesia
A lot of people hate this movie and this example, but fuck it: Harry in the third Spider-Man movie. Yes, it was hokey. But it needed to happen so we (the audience) and MJ and Peter (the main characters) could reconnect to Harry. Without the goofy scenes of him making breakfast with MJ his Big Damn Hero moment at the climax wouldn’t have carried as much emotional weight.
Best twist ending
The Others. Not just a good movie, but literally the only time I had no idea what the twist was gonna be until all was revealed!
My suggestions for other categories:
[ul]
[li]Best “love confession” scene in which someone lists all the things they love about their love interest, ala ‘When Harry Met Sally’[/li][li]Best domineering mother-in-law/mother[/li][li]Best scene in which the villain’s fortress collapses, or his spaceship blows up, or whatever, upon the villlain’s death[/li][li]Best overly-complicated villainous plot[/li][/ul]
They should have also had the government guy complaining about the ineptitude of the waitstaff as well 
Or even better the guy wondering if he had a broomstick up his ass or something.
I know this doesn’t really fit - but having just seen 2012, I can forgive any movie that allows itself this dialogue;
“I love you son.”
“I love you too dad!”
2012 wasn’t the best use of this most worthy expression - so any ideas of the best?

Best Spontaneous Musical Number in a Non-Musical Film: The car scene set to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne’s World. You know I’m right.
Best use of gratuitous nudity: What? Am I the only one here who was beginning to enter adolescence in 1992? Basic Instinct, of course.
Best use of Gratuitous Nudity: In the David Carradine B-movie The Warrior and the Sorceress, the titular Sorceress, Maria Socas, spends about three-quarters of the movie topless. Day-um. Completely and totally gratuitous.
I don’t remember Yeager particularly glaring at the NASA recruiters. He does have a few lines, though; he asks Harry Shearer what he wants to drink, and brings Crossfield his steak dinner after breaking mach 2.
Chasing Amy. There’s a lot about that movie that I like, but I don’t really need to see that scene again.
And Harry Shearer replies that he’d like a Coca-Cola. “In a clean glass.”
This Munch is a genius!
Best Voice-Over By a Character As Movie Ends: Shadowlands.
“Twice in this life I was given a choice. The boy chose safety, the man choose suffering.”
Best Spontaneous Musical Number in a Non-Musical Film:
I cant really say it will win the category, but I am a bit surprised that no one has even mentioned the “Dueling Banjos” number in Deliverance.
Best Voice-Over By a Character As Movie Ends:
Gotta be the last line that the dog says in A Boy And His Dog…
My nomination for
Best rally the troops pre-battle speech: is Aragorn’s “This is not that day!” speech in ROTK.
But it’s possible I was overly impressed, just by finally having some original dialogue (i.e. not written by Tolkien) in any of the LOTR movies that was not cringingly bad.
Best Hero punches the bad guy, but it only makes him angry goes to Mel Gibson & Jet Li on the dock in Lethal Weapon 4.
Best Blatant heartstring manipulation over a sudden character death goes to My Girl.
My competitive nomination for the previous Best ending voiceover goes to the “bydebye to the pockyclipse” girl from Mad Max Thunderdome
I like that one too. As an only kinda related aside, wasn’t the post apocalypse world from Mad Max largely inspired by A Boy and His Dog?
Heist
DeVito: “Wait! Don’t you want to hear my last words?”
Hackman: “I just did.” ::shoots him::
Best taking-a-well-known-cliche-and-turning-it-upside-down
LL Cool J in Deep Blue Sea. Seemingly a minor character (the ship’s chef), and he’s black. He might as well be on Star Trek wearing a red shirt, but he’s pretty much the only character who survives to the end. I watched the entire movie wondering when the black guy was gonna get eaten by the shark. The black guy always dies.
Best musical number in a non-musical has to be Casablanca.
And best “waking up with a gasp at the peak of a scary scene”-cliche at the beginning of Aliens.
My hands-down favorite in that category, and it wasn’t even an action movie:
From Pan’s Labyrinth –
Vidal (referring to his newborn son, whom Mercedes, the rebel spy, is holding): Tell him the time that I died. Tell him …
Mercedes: He won’t even know your name.
And then the rebels kill Vidal. So satisfying.
Alien (the original) should probably get the nod for “best use of a pet to set up scary scenes.” The wandering cat Jonesy is used over and over to lure characters into danger, or to distract the viewers, or to make the audience think an attack is coming, but it’s not, ha ha, fooled you, OHGODHEREITISNOW.
This was self-parodied in the sequel when Ripley leaves Jonesy behind, saying “…and this time, you’re staying here.”
And don’t let the fact that he doesn’t look anything like Sam Shepard make you think he’s any less than probably the most awesome badass in the world.
