Not sure if documentaries qualify, but if they do: Birds in flight, shot from ultralight, from _Winged Migration_. Amazing stuff. ---

The shot in LOTR of the Fellowship at the mountain pass? I remember way before the movie was out, I saw a 5 second clip of that scene on some TV show and I was so thrilled to death that the movie was made (with sequels to come), and it just looked so spectacular and I had been waiting forever - I thought, after I see the movies, I could then die happy. ---

Interestingly, at this moment I’m watching _King Kong_ with my kids (yeah, and goofing a bit online) and either the V-Rex/Anne/Kong shot or Anne and Kong atop the Empire State with the vast skyline of all as-yet-unbuilt New York below them work for me. ---

WALL-E and EVE siting together when EVE has the Christmas lights. \*\* Let the Right One In\*\*: Last pool scene. **Sympathy For Lady Vengeance** : Scene in the snow toward the end. **Serenity** : River standing over bodies of [Reavers](http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/2005_Serenity/005SNT_Summer_Glau_042.jpg). ---

Practically every frame of The Fall. Slumdog Millionaire - the game show scenes and the train sequence The Incredibles - the action “pose” as the whole family comes together on the island and faces off against Syndrome’s henchmen. V for Vendetta - the army of “V’s” gathering at Parliament at the end. LOTR - Gandalf arriving at the Shire, the march of the Ents, the charge of the Rohirrim. ---

Chuck Noland dancing in front of the fire he’s made in _Cast Away_. Smoochy standing in front of the Nazi flags in _Death to Smoochy_. Senator Kelly liquifying in _X-Men_. ---

**Lakai** - OOF! I agree wholeheartedly with the the Wall-E and Serenity scenes. Though I’d also like to mention the cartoon opening with “Sweet HoneyBee” of _Juno_. ---
