This has most likely been posted before, but i'm new, so this is a chance to tell newbie's like myself your thoughts.
In no particular order.
1. American werewolf transformation scene(the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be... fact.)
2. Joe Pesci in goodfellas, telling the funny story - "funny, funny how?"
3. Kill Bill Vol.1 - showdown at house of blue leaves - Un F#@kin believable!
4. Fletch - When Fletch gets caught snooping around by the guy with the shotgun. GUY - who are you? Fletch replies - I'm Don Corleone. Genius!
5. The Road Warrior final chase scene - no CGI, just quality action and great stunts.
6. The scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken in TRUE ROMANCE - my best scene between two guy's talking. Mega!
7. The Church Shootout in THE KILLER - God i love the WOO.
8. The Shootout in HEAT - Bullets everywhere.
9. The opening scene from BLADE - The blood shower/rave. A combination of music and the action fitting perfectly.
10. The coversation between Jack Burton and Dave Lopan in BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA - "Two thousands years and you cant find one broad to fit the bill? c'mon Dave you must be doing something seriuosly wrong." Cracks me up every time.
Well thats mine, although i'm easily gunna think of others as soon as i post this... DOH!

I knew i would remember an obvious classic scene, This would actually make it TOP 11 movie scenes. I'll do a swap with the BLADE scene.
Anyway... the scene is
On APOCALYPSE NOW when Martin sheen desides that he has to kill Kurtz, the whole lead up to the killing of Kurts is mega. From The Doors - the end playing, to when sheen's head slowly appears from the river and the light flashes on his face.(the best shot ever in my opinion) and finally the slaughtering of both cow and kurtz. INCREDIBLE scene.
This is the End...

Terminator 2: Judgment Day - T800 coming out of the elevator in slow motion, Sarah Connor in disbelief running away. Great sequence.
Heat - 10 minute shootout, the use of real gunfire dubbed into the film makes for the most realistic gun sound I've ever heard.
Swordfish - opening sequence with the speech.
Se7en - "Who are you John" the 8 minute conversation in the car.
True Romance - hopper/walken
The Shawshank Redemption - after Andy's out of the hole. Andy and Red sitting down by the wall outside, talking "Get busy livin'...."
American Beauty - "..so much beauty.."
The Professional - "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeveryyyyyooooonnnnnnne!"
Die Hard - McClane throwin down the C4monitor, the exterior shot of explosion + lightning inside the building, always loved that scene.
