Best Film Sequence

The Shawshank Rdeption- The whole flashback thing at the end which shows just how Andy got away with all. Ties up the whole story excellently. Morgan Freeman's VO here is great.

Road to Perdition- From the moment Tom Hanks says "Just one last thing, and then it's done." to when he walks away into the night after confronting Paul Newman. The cinematography is the best I've scene and the sound is great. Silence, apart from the music, and then "I'm glad it was you." and a heap of gunfire. I love this scene, it may be my favourite of all time.

On the Waterfront- Hard to go past the whole taxi scene with Brando and his brother. "You don't understand I could have had class, I could have been a contender. I could have been somebody, instead of a bum. Which is what I am let's face it."

The Lion King- The stampede scene in which Scar kills Mufassa is good, but I really like the one where Simba meets up with Rifiki, who then leads him to his father, and Simba sees that he must take the responsibility he abandoned. Great stuff.

Forrest Gump- The film is packed with memorable scenes. Bubba's death, Forrest going for a run, or anything with Lt. Dann.

Schindler's List- When Oskar is presented with the ring by Itzhak Stern, and breaks down saying how he could have saved more. "This car, that's ten people right there." He is then forced to flee into the night, because despite his good deeds, he is a wanted man.

Dirty Harry- The whole "Do you feel lucky" scene is great, but I also love in one of the sequels when he returns to the coffee store, or when he drives a car through a window.

Jurassic Park- When the T-Rex tears down the fence and wanders across the road.

A Few Good Men- The whole "You want the truth scene" towards the end is really well written and acted.

Jaws- The opening and closing scenes.

The Usual Suspects- The end scene.

Saving Private Ryan- The scene in which Captain Miller decides to let the captured German soldier go, causing anger from Edward Burns character, leading to that great speech from Hanks. "I don't know anything about James Ryan, he means nothing to me. But if finding him so he can go home earns me the right to go home to my wife, well then, that's my mission."

Nothing to Lose- The scene is which Nick and Terrence hold up the store where the old Henry is working, and argue over the better ways to rob him. "The freeze mother f***r part was pretty scary. He then led me to believe if I moved my ass it may be blown off. You were scary too though."

Ah, so many more I can think of, but that ought to do for now.
 
three kings - the part when they blow up the cow through them stealing the gold

no man's land - all the scenes where they're pointing guns at each other and yelling, but can't understand each other, brcause they speak different languages

bottle rocket - the scene where they buy the gun, and then are at home planning, and also their first robbery

i'll think of more later...
 
The sequence where Team Zissou goes down in the submarine to see the Jaguar shark. Steve says, "You think he remembers me?" I always shed a few tears at that point.
 
"no man's land - all the scenes where they're pointing guns at each other and yelling, but can't understand each other, brcause they speak different languages"

You mean the entire film?

Other addition:

the final sequence of "Trois Couleurs: Rouge" when the fates of the other characters are revealed on the TV screen.
 
the "Hip To Be Square" sequence in American Psycho

Yeah, this one for me, too. Either this or the business card sequence.

Interestingly, Ellis said that the two-second bit during which Bateman dances to Huey Lewis is the only thing he doesn't like about the movie.
 
Everyone else can stop posting. I remembered the two single best sequences of any film ever produced:

- "Na Srebrnym Globie" (The Silver Globe) The camera swoops along a beach and ascends sixty feet into the air to capture a horrifying tableau of dozens of heretics impaled through the anus on fifty-foot wooden spikes. Intestines bloom from the tops, and blood drips down into the sand. The camera glides in to a close-up of one of them, who is still alive, and he says a few words before dying.

- (The Silver Globe) An astonishing, nearly silent battle scene set to eerie, electronic classical music. Enormous winged creatures fight ornately costumed humans in a misty forest. Completely spectacular.
 
BLOW - the last parts when George is saying goodbye to his father, and then meets his daughter.

I AM CUBA - the camera moves from a like bar/patio, down two-four storeys, to a rooftop pool, through the partygoers, and then into the pool.

Then at the end, the camera moves up from street level four-six storeys or more to the top level of a cigar factory, enters through the window, tracks through the cigar workers, then out of another window at the otherside of the building, showing the funeral percession as it continues to fly over it.
 
I find it interesting that a large portion of these are violent/offensive....sorry may be considered offensive. I think that is a point to ponder... probably a whole debate about the human brain in there somewhere but as I am a lazy sh*t i am not going to even try and start one.

The sequence in Soy Cuba is amazing also... the entire film, actually. I love the dolly shots at the end from a very low angle of the worker becoming a revolutionary and finding his rifle - the red filtration is so intense that the sky is literally black.
 
Rashomon - The whole woodcutter walking in the woods sequence. I was immediately struck by the technique in this part of a Kurosawa classic

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly - The Ecstacy of Death Sequence is beautifully shot and scored. (Actually that whole movie has beautiful sequences)

Copland - The ending shootout, where Stallone can't hear anything. I just loved that part of the movie, especially when Keitel is mouthing off to Stallone, and he says "I can't hear you, Ray." Love it.
