What is the most memorable moment on film/cinema that you have had and why?

WinonaGal: What is the most memorable moment on film/cinema that you have had and why?
So, do you have a scary thought of JAWS?
Is it romantic, like the kiss scene in Gone with the Wind with the burning of Atlanta in the background?
What amazing moment of cinema is burned in your head forever?
If you can remember of care to list specifics about the year, director, actor, etc. that would be even more fun.
Thanks!

Curly Sue- at the end when Sue (Alisan Porter) comes back to the hotel & see her dad (James Belushi) & the note with her ring back, stated “I’m in the living room”… waltz in there and boom… made her happy but cried, to be back home with her dad. Thanks to the lady (Kelly Lynch). A good family movie to watch & recommended.

When I went to see titanic with my mom and sister. It wasn’t the movie that was great it was the time I got to spend with my mom and sister. My mom doesn’t do theaters much and I don’t think she has been back to one since. It wasn’t the movie that was memorable it was the company.
Another movie that moved me was any of the LOTR movies, I was on the edge of my seat most of the way through them and I absolutely loved it.

I’d have to say it would be the scene in Stand By Me when Gordie LaChance pulls the leech out of his, um, er, britches.

Stand By Me was from 1986 and was a film adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Body.” It had Wil Wheaton in it, and Corey Feldman, Keifer Sutherland, River Phoenix, and Jerry O’Connell.

Satantango. The entire film is still there. You want to talk about any scene, and I can tell you what happens almost in real time. The seven hours are literally burned into my brain. If you dissected my brain you would see the burned-in impression marks of scenes from Satantango.

The two scenes I think about the most, though are the opening scene. What a perfect scene. I’ve never seen something that simple set the tone for the rest of the film. And the dance scene (it is SatanTANGO), just two shots, and the meaning behind them is so powerful.

An unqualified triumph.

Bela Tarr, 1994, using a number of non-professionals to play the parts in the film, I believe.

I could list many more, but I’m pretty happy with my description above.
