Here's a question.
What would you say is the best film scene you've seen?
Not necessarily the entire film, but just the one scene.

Personally, when River kicks reaver arse at the end of Serenity. I will never get tired of watching that fight scene.

Although I must say anything including Summer Glau is made of win,
I still absolutely love the bit in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 where Jack's tied to the pole and running away from the cannibals with all the fruit on the pole :)

And the one bit in Secretary. You know. With the spelling error.

From a purely female perspective, the scene in The Two Towers where they all think Aragorn's dead and then he comes through the doors all grubby and dishevelled and in charge.

Excuse me, I need a lie down now.

Downfall
The piece of German film making is wonderful for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Bruno Ganz as Hitler, the one role that has always been a no-no for a German actor

2. Bruno Ganz not showing Hitler as a caricature which would have been so easy to do

3. The effect of the Soviet invasion of Berlin not only on Hitler himself but also those around him, the diehard Nazis in the bunker with him.

In other news, the number of times that the youtube crowd have reworded the scene in which Hitler loses it with his generals is very funny.

Then Will Smith lands in his ejector seat, and is all like "YARR ERURR, AHHH", and is cault on the parashoot and runs to the spaceship screaming "THATS RIGHT THATS RIGHT !THATS WHAT YOU GET, THATS WHAT YOU GET, GET OFF ME, GET OFF ME", and releases himself from the parashoot and storms up to the spaceship, shouting "LOOK AT YOU ! SHIP ALL BANGED UP ! WHO'S THE MAN? WHO'S THE MAN? WAIT TILL I GET ANOTHER SHIP, THEN I'M GONNA GET ALL OF YOU".

Then he opens up the hatch and the alien appears, and he punches it on the head and says "Welcome to earth", he then lights up a cigar and says "Now, that's what I call a close encounter."
