CYaBro: The shootout in Heat.

For me when Pacino hunts down De Niro via helicopter then car on the freeway, pulls him over to ask "What'd Ya Say I Buy You A Cup Of Coffee?"

But probably more the final shootout at the airport hunting each other only to end with "Told You I'm Never Going Back". Seen Heat multiple times and this scene still gets me every time.

Seeing the red dress of a little girl in a pile of bodies being burned by the Nazis in an otherwise black and white film, Schindler's list

"Everybody get into crash positions!"

I'm not sure why this particular gag stood out for me out of the entire movie. It was just so unexpected.

Hello, Ground!

CYaBro: The shootout in Heat.

Speaking of Michael Mann,

The scene in "Miami Vice" when they are belting across the Florida Strait in a Cigarette boat to have Mojitos in Havana - with Patti Labelle screaming "I'll be gone" on the Soundtrack...

-granted Colin Farrell is no Don Johnson, and the rest of the film is pretty average, but that set of scenes as they blast across the water just encapsulates everything Miami....

There are many and I have +1'd some mentioned here that pop back into my memory as I am reminded of them. But they didn't occur to me until I was reminded of them. What has stuck with me most of my life was something I saw on television, not in a movie, when I was a small child. It was a story about an immigrant in the west of America early in the 20th century. His English was limited but he worked hard and was eventually able to afford a motor vehicle. He was extremely proud of this vehicle and loved driving it around to show it off. It really meant everything to him.

Until the day he discovered that it was a hearse, and everybody had been laughing at his ignorance. Utterly crushed, he sent the beloved hearse over a cliff to its destruction. Watching this story of the crumpling of a simple man's soul has stayed with me all my life and that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread.
