Best sequence/s in a film ever!

Could not agree with you more, although the bit in Hercules that does it for me is at the end when someone says 'thats Phil's boy' and he looks all tearful cos thats what he wanted.
Beauty and the beast when you hink he's died and then he gets changed back, Hunchback, when he grabs Esmerelda and shouts Sanctuary at the top of Notre Dame, absolutely beautiful!!
 
For me are

Titanic - when rose jumps of the boat near the middle of the film to be with Jack

Sister Act - I Will Follow Him song at the end

Both lovely movies.
 
Two scenes from Once Upon A Time in the West. The first when Frank and his men emerge from the bushes (don't laugh) after the farmyard massacre and the wonderful crane shot over the roof of the railway station revealing the bustling town. The opening sequence with the three gunmen facing Harmonica is stunning too. And the bit with the swinging lamp which puts Harmonica's face in and out of shadow. And what about the three gunmen framed in three doorways in the railway station at the start. And what about My Name is Nobody when Henry Fonda spins round and shoots the three gunmen from the barbers shop - two out of different windows - and in slow motion - stunning. Let's face it Sergio Leone rules this topic.
 
The scene in The Fly, when Geoff Goldblum warns Gena Davis to leave:
"I'm saying I'm an insect who dreamed he was a man, and loved it. But now the dream is over and the insect is awake. I'm saying I'll hurt you if you stay."
Should have got a best actor oscar for that scene alone!
 
Heat: when DeNiro's gang are exiting the bank and the firefight starts.

I'll add to that the sequence when Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro meet for a coffee.

Manhunter: when Will Graham works out the Toothfairy has been finding his victims. Dennis Farina is in the scene too, relaying messages to the polices on the other end of the phone.
 
Jaws.
The woman shouting "SHARK!" and the sheriff thinking it was a hoak. Then he slowly begins running faster as he realises it's not!!!

Marathon Man
"Is it safe?"

All those who said the Sergio Leone films... may you live long and prosper!!

Which brings me nicely to...

Star Trek II
The death of Spock :cry: AND his voice at the end over the James Horner music.

All of the Shawshank Redemption

The French Connection
The chase scene

Seven
The Chase scene!

Apocalypse now
"I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING" Just 'cos he wanted to surf!!!

Scarface
Drugged up to the eyeballs saying "SAY HELLO TO MAH NEW FWIEND!"
 
to be fair, its largely aimed at kiRAB really, and as an entertaining yarn along the lines of *raiders of the lost ark* it was thoroughly entertaining - johnny depp was great in it. similarly *the mummy* or *sleepy hollow*.

Desperado - The gun battle in the bar scene - quality!

Matrix - I'd have to agree on the lobby sequence - class!

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - When Jonny Depp makes his excuses to leave the hotel room with Benito Del Toro and the girl that plays Wednesday in the Adams Family (can't remember her name) in it and the bit after that when Jonny Depp explains what they can do with the girl - Classic!
 
oh - and talking of disney - the scene in *beauty and the beast* where they dance in that beautifully animated ballroom, with the camera panning right round to capture it all - thought that was stunning when i first saw it. (i say first, but i don't think there's been a second yet)

Singing in the Rain.
The song/dance scene on the street.
Last of the Mohicans.
From the time the chief tells them to go from the village until Magwah is killed.
Black Hawk Down
Any of the street battle scenes.
Bambi
Guess which one? :cry:
Star Wars
The opening sequence with the battle cruiser flying over.

Plus loaRAB here already mentioned
OH nearly forgot
Blade Runner
Rutger Hauer dying in the rain.
 
i love the chase sequence in *a life less ordinary* - the REM track *leave* is just brilliant for it.

and *pulp fiction* is pretty much one flawless sequence after another.

predicably, the helicopters / *ride of the valkires* sequence in *apocolypse now*.

Magnolia

The scene when they all start singing Wise Up. It follows the scene in the ambulance if I remember correctly, which is another amazing scene. Just a stunning film from start to finish.
