The climactic jaguar shark scene from "The Life Aquatic."

A scene I was in awestruck by the first time I saw it, probably because I was too young to be seeing this movie. The movie- "Trainspotting." Language and content NSFW.

I couldn't find a decent copy of the simply harrowing final scene of "Requiem For A Dream," but this one is equally as good. Ellen Burstyn is mesmerizing, and IIRC, towards the end of the scene the DP (who is holding the camera) starts to cry and he actually drops the frame down a little. Director Aronofsky kept it there to add to the scene.

I don't think this movie gets enough credit sometimes. The sequels mostly sucked, but how much did "Jurassic Park" rock when it first came out? The best scene from that movie, one that I always think of when I think of tension/suspense/action.


I didn't like this movie as much as most people, but you gotta admit, this is a great scene. The music makes it great, sure, but why should that compromise things? Anyways, bus scene from "Almost Famous."


And for my final number, may I present to you, the greatest film scene in modern cinematic history, the oh-so-epic "call it" scene from No Country For Old Men!

Well done! So many good picks.
