1) Godfather
Moments before Michael kills McClusky and Solozzo, the train thunders by - Solozzo’s voice is muted by the sound of Michael’s thoughts and how everything he has done in his life will change after he kills these two men. The darting glances that Michael delivers before he pulls the trigger reflects this perfectly.
2) Shawshank Redemption
Scene where Red tells the tale of Andy escaping from Shawshank. Capped off by his Jesus-like liberation. I love a good montage and this up there with the best.
3) Godfather, Part II
Two scenes really - the scene where Michael figures out that Fredo was the rat whilst in Cuba and letting him know that he knows on New Year's Eve. Also, after the death of their mother. Michael finally embraces (the then exiled) Fredo and gives Nering a look to confirm that he wants his own brother dead.
4) Gladiator (not the porn Glad-he-ate-her)
First fight scene. Its amazing to watch. Suspense. Honour. Violence.
5) Cool Runnings
Yes, I am an idiot, but I love this scene. The final scene where after the crash the members of the team carry the bobsled across the finish line (fictional) and Junior’s father, who has been against the idea from the start shows his support by brandishing his Jamaican Bobsled T-Shirt. Made me cry, it really did.
5a) 12 Angry Men
Penultimate scene where the silence of the other jurors convinces the last one holding out to change his mind. Shows the ability of silence to defeat a man’s will.
