What makes a great movie? *snip* We all know that it takes the combination of a good script, good acting, and good directing to make a film worth watching. But the one thing that makes a good film great is those movie moments that stir our emotions and go on to last for as long as our minds will allow us to remember.

Yes. Before I actually read the list, I thought of that scene. I was pretty sure it would be in the top ten. But nope. I guess it was just too sad and disturbing.
I would have picked none of the ten listed - not one.
It just shows the idiocy of liking top X lists, by pretending anyone one set of opinions making such a list is THE TOP opinion, when the reality is we all have different tastes, in all the arts. None of it is objective.
I’ve seen Goodfellas so many times, I think I know the entire movie by heart.
Same with this one - the scene in “Silence of the Lambs” when the officers enter after Hannibal had escaped from his cage in the middle of the big room and the one guarding officer’s body was “flayed open” and hanging from the bars. That was quite horrifying the first time I saw it.
Actually - lots of scenes in both of those movies which are quite memorable.
Another one I liked from the past was “The Magic Christian” with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. Many many scenes in that one, as well. I especially like the one where the hotdog vendor is outside the train and Sellers sticks his head out of window to purchase one. The vendor can’t make change and the train starts moving. Sellers keeps handing him bills and the train moves faster and faster and the vendor is running along side the train, faster and faster...”A fiver? I can’t change a fiver!” He keeps running and accepting different bills.
Almost the entire movie—Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So many good scenes. I love the one with Lancelot running towards the castle.
