Right, this took some doing, but here's my top ten movie scenes.
I can't really put these in any order, except the first two are my top two ever.
Enjoy.
GOODFELLAS
The BEST scene from Goodfellas, and my number one scene from any movie. Ever.

JAWS
A great piece of natural acting from all three leads, and the legend goes that Robert Shaw actually wrote the USS Indianapolis monologue himself.

THE THING
The scene where Kurt Russell decides to give everyone a blood test. The tension here is palpable and sums up the paranoia of the whole movie.

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
This scene at the beginning of the movie actually bears little relevance to the storyline, but is among the most memorable and quotable scenes ever. It's a shame I couldn't find the ending to this sequence where the guy misses the dartboard and forces the two Americans to leave the pub - and ultimately find their fate at the hands of the werewolf.

APOCALYPSE NOW
The classic helicopter scene that everyone should remember.

CHOPPER
The actual scene I want to show is about 4:45 into this clip, and has to be seen to be believed. Eric Bana plays this to perfection.

GROSSE POINTE BLANK
I love this black comedy, and this is a standout scene. One of the best fight scenes ever. Second only to the one below this one...

THEY LIVE
This HAS to be the best fight scene in any film. It's just so fucking awesome!

THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY
Thsi scene where he really puts the Americans in their place, is really memorable, but it's the final scene with Harry in the back seat which shows just how underrated Bob Hoskins is as an actor. He doesn't even say a word, yet you can see the mixture of frustration, anger (with himself), irony and resignation at his impending fate.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY
I'm a big fan of the use of music to enhance a scene, and this is amongst the best ever, up there with the Apocalypse Now scene above. It really conveys the madness of the whole movie, as he runs wildly through the graves frantically searching for the grave which hides the buried treasure.
