whats yer fave acting shot in a movie

"There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.
The Korova milkbar sold milk-plus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom, which is what we were drinking.
This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence."

...Absolutely no acting at this point but totally captivating. My favourite film.

"a day in the Marine corp is like a day on the farm. Every meal a banquet, every pay check a fortune, every formation a parade. I love the corp"

I love it when Apone delivers that line fresh from the chiller.

Also King Willies lines in Predator 2.
 
Raising Arizona, every line is genius.

FBI Agent: Sir, we discovered you were born Nathan Huffheins.
Nathan Arizona Sr.: Yeah, I changed my name. What of it?
FBI Agent: Can you give us an indication why?
Nathan Arizona Sr.: Would you shop at a store called Unpainted Huffheins?
 
"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Awesome quote. Awesome film.
 
Derek and Castor - thanks for reminding me that I need to adjust the saturation levels on me laptop screen. Those signatures SHOUT RED!
 
The lineup in The Usual Suspects, Benicio Del Toro smashes it.

or

Anything from The Big Lebowski, but Jesus Quintana's scenes in particular.
 
Dennis Hopper & Christopher Walken in True Romance

"I think I'll have one of those Chesterfields now"

This. Absolutely amazing scene. Still gets my heart racing (for Dennis Hopper) even after seeing it loads of times. If I ever bumped in to Christopher Walken I would absolutely cack my pants :p
 
Many scenes in Wes Anderson films are just so beautifully captured I cant help but appreciate them. The use of colour is gorgeous :)
 
almost all of Pulp Fiction.

also, as nantucket mentioned above:

Cliff: Now, wait a minute and listen. I haven't seen Clarence in three years. Yesterday he shows up here with a girl, sayin' he got married. He told me he needed some quick cash for a honeymoon, so he asked if he could borrow five hundred dollars. I wanted to help him out so I wrote out a check. We went to breakfast and that's the last I saw of him. So help me God. They never thought to tell me where they were goin'. And I never thought to ask.

Coccotti: Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm a Sicilian. And my old man was the world heavyweight champion of Sicilian liars. And from growin' up with him I learned the pantomime. Now there are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give him away. A guy has seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen. And if you know 'em like ya know your own face, they beat lie detectors to hell. What we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin'. But you're tellin' me everything. Now I know you know where they are. So tell me, before I do some damage you won't walk away from.

Cliff: Could I have one of those Chesterfields now?

Coccotti: Sure.

Cliff: Got a match? Oh, don't bother. I got one. So you're a Sicilian, huh?

Coccotti: Uh-huh.

Cliff: You know I read a lot. Especially things that have to do with history. I find that **** fascinating. In fact, I don't know if you know this or not, Sicilians were spawned by *****.

Coccotti: Come again?

Cliff: It's a fact. Sicilians have ***** blood pumpin' through their hearts. If you don't believe me, look it up. You see, hundreds and hundreds of years ago the Moors conquered Sicily. And Moors are *****. Way back then, Sicilians were like the *** in northern Italy. Blond hair, blue eyes. But, once the Moors moved in there, they changed the whole country. They did so much ***** with the Sicilian women, they changed the blood-line for ever, from blond hair and blue eyes to black hair and dark skin. I find it absolutely amazing to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, Sicilians still carry that ***** gene. I'm just quotin' history. It's a fact. It's written. Your ancestors were *****. Your great, great, great, great, great-grandmother was ****ed by a *****, and had a half-***** kid. That is a fact. Now tell me, am I lyin'?

Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken really did a job on that one!

edit: as wyrd said, Benicio Del Toro in The Usual Suspects, great stuff.

Watched Dead Mans Shoes just last week, for about the 10th time. Love that film. Thats a good choice of scene aswell.

I love the pool hall scene at the start too.
 
Alex Baldwins "Coffee is for closers" speech in Glengary Glenross is always awesome to watch.

I also love Tom Hanks questioning Jack Nicholson in court in A Few Good Men.

Jack: "You want answers?"
Tom: "I want the truth"
Jack: "You can't handle the truth!"

Assom.
