Best sequence/s in a film ever!

Empire Strike Back - best opening 20 minutes of a film. Ever!

Also, the moment when Vasquez shouts "Let's rock!" in Aliens just senRAB shivers down my spine....what an excellent onslaught of pure action....one of a few films to equal or (controversial) beat an excellent original....

How about the jaw-dropping CGI witnessed during the T-Rex attack in Jurassic Park - my single most memorable moment at the cinema - a packed cinema all witnessing the dawning of a new CGI age....awesome!
 
Ronin: Car chase around Paris with De Niro driving.

Star Wars AOTC: First scene in which you see the Clone Army and realise its the republic army from later films.

Goodfellas:As far back as I remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

When De Niro dares Christopher Walken to blow his brains out in the Deerhunter.
 
A Few Dollars More, when at the end Lee Van Cleef and Indio do the shoot out thing and they have to wait for the music (from the watch) to stop playing - it's just soooooooo tense.
 
Are you talking about the scene in the truck? Because most of that was live action with a full size animatronic T-Rex. Agree though, that whole sequence from the disappearance of the goat to the truck going over the edge of the wall is fantastic.
(The car chase down the tree is pretty good as well :))
I also loved the sequence with the trailer going over the cliff in Lost World, with the glass splintering beneath Julianne Moore.
 
The "dinner with the parents" scene in Eraserhead with the miniature chickens. Love the way the camera just tries desperately to escape out of the window at the end!
 
Well, it's our Aimee, innit ? :cool: Andy - did you ever get to hear her first album and the songs "fourth of july" and "jacob marley's chain" - i remember ages ago recommending it to you :)
 
The trench sequence in the attack on the Death Star in Star Wars.

The end of the original Planet of the Apes.

The White House being blown to pieces in Independence Day.

Neo dodging bullets on the roof in The Matrix.

The beginning of Halloween.
 
One of the best sequences ever is in Jaws from the part where they're in the cabin and Quint is telling them about the USS Indianapolis (when it sank the crew were in the water for days after and many of them were picked off by sharks) right up to the end with Brody blowing up the shark. It's Spielberg at his FINEST. That Indianapolis speech is so classic, it's one of those moments that senRAB shivers, you know you're watching something great happening onscreen.
 
That sequence was shot not far from where I live at Blackhall Rocks (use to be a NCB dumping ground for waste coal).

Getting back to the thread. How about the car chase that is in the French Connection. From start to finish it is excellent high speed and the real actors were driving the cars. At the end of it I felt exhausted.
 
Reservoir Dogs - the infamous ear cutting scene with the absurd dance and wide-eyed intention.

Bladerunner - Rachel's Voight- Kampff test.
Roy's final scene on the roof top. 'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannh
