How 'bout in Indiana Jones… when the guy in the marketplace threatens with the saber (-re?) and Indy takes out his gun and shoots him. I still get a kick out of that.

I love that Indiana Jones scene, Vogue. And ARG said my favorite movie, but not my favorite scenes from it.
Beauty and the Beast - The Beast is trying to get Belle to go to dinner and she won’t, so he tells his companions “But she’s being so DIFFICULT!” I love that
I love when he’s finally transformed back into the prince and she realizes who he is because his eyes are still the same as they were when he was a beast.
Yeah, that’s me, the sappy romantic 
When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?

Voguevixen, interesting trivie from Internet Movie Database about that scene
Script originally included a long fight between a swordsman and Indiana with his whip. Actor Harrison Ford was suffering diarrhea at the time, and asked if the scene could be shortened. Spielberg said the only way he could shorten it was if Indy pulled out his gun and just shot the guy. The entire crew laughed and that’s how it was filmed.
Oh yeah, in Apocalypse Now when Sheen’s getting ready to kill Brando, and his head come’s out of the water with the Door’s The End playing in the background.

Return of the Jedi: When Luke begins his trip to the dark side, and unleashes on ol’ pop and then realizes what he’s done and comes back to the ‘light’
girl, interrupted: I know it’s a new movie, but I love the beginning, how it clips to different memories. I do that, although I don’t zone when I do it.

I would also venture to say mostly everything from The Matrix
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.”
-H.P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

2001: A Space Odyssey–when the apeman is sitting in the pile of bones, and figures out how to use them as tools. An incredible performance.
Field of Dreams–when Kevin Costner asks his dad if he’d like to play catch. I burst into tears every time.
Stalag 17–when Sefton (William Holden) proves to the other prisoner exactly who is the Nazi spy.
The Devils–Vanessa Redgraves’ bizarre sexual fantasy about Jesus/Oliver Reed. I defy you to take your eyes off the screen.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail–tough pick here, but I’d have to say King Arthur’s duel with the Black Knight. (“I cut your arm off!” “No you didn’t!” “Look!” “Just a flesh wound.”)
When World’s Collide–just before the rocket takes off, and the mean old millionaire desperately tries to get on board. Wow!

Dr. Strangelove–Slim Pickens riding the H-bomb. It’s funny and disturbing at the same time.
North by Northwest–the cropduster scene. Of course.
Groundhog Day–when Bill Murray realizes that it’s finally the next day. The expression on his face only lasts a second, but it’s wonderful.

The Wizard of Oz–when Dorothy is trapped in the Wicked Witches capsule, and she thinks she sees Auntie Em in the crystal ball.
