Top 3 classic film moments

[Peckwich]

Classic scene from a classic film: the boys sitting around the campfire trying to decide what animal Goofy is (if Pluto is a dog and is Mickey's pet then Goofy can't also be a dog, or can he?).

[Santerme]

The scene at the end of Citizen Kane when they burn Rosebud, the sled Kane had as a child

The axe scene in The Shining

Rod Steiger and Marlon Brando's scene in the taxi where he finally blames his brother for stopping him being a real contender in On the Waterfront

[dulwichmum]

Oh Annasfield! You are right, that is a classic.

I almost laughed my head clean off my shoulders!

[*Bob*]

The montage in Footloose where Chis Penn learns how to dance.

From Footloose, when Kevin Bacon reads from the bible to justify the overturning of the no dancing rule.

And finally, when Ren dances out his frustrations at night in the deserted warehouse - in Footloose.

If I was allowed four, It would be a toss up between the tractor chicken-race and the bit at the end when the geek starts doing 'robotics' - which are both in Footloose.

Apocalypse Now - The Ride Of The Valkyries

[mockney piers]

Lots of good ones there.

A couple more:

Rutger's 'just moments in time' speech atthe end of Bladerunner, getting goose bumps just thinking about it.

The attack on the bridge in The Good the Bad and the Ugly, how even our hardened antiheroes are moved by the senselessness of war.

Most scenes in Dr Strangelove, but those wih George Segal's paranoid general on balance are winners.

the Exorcist, when the head turns round 180 degrees

the Exorcist, when it says "stick your c*ck up your arse"
