The Battle of Bloody Porch from The Wild Bunch. Sam Peckinpah "invented" people and things falling in slow motion in this movie. Since then, it has been used so often you don't think anything of it. :
Stanley Kubrick's WWI trench warfare movie: Paths of Glory (1957)
At the end of the movie, a captured German girl is forced to sing a song for rowdy French soldiers in a tavern. It is a very sad German song, but the tune is familiar. The soldiers soon become quiet, and then start humming along – with tears in their eyes.
I suspect that this scene was the inspiration for the singing scene at the end of the newest WWI movie, 1917.
1. The Sandlot where Squints fakes the drowning and kisses the cute lifeguard.
2. The finale of The Patriot where Mel Gibson charges into battle with the American flag
3. The finale of the Commando where Arnold blows up all the buildings and kills all the bad guys with machine guns
4. the finale of Behind Enemy Lines where the American choppers arrive, kill all the enemy soldiers, and rescue Owen Wilson. Especially love the rousing patriotic music in this scene.
5. The opening sequence of Goldeneye where Pierce Brosnan is introduced as James Bond and all his stunts jumping off the cliff after the plane
6. True Lies where Jamie Lee Curtis drops the gun down the stairs and it continues to fire and kills all the terrorists
7. The finale of Delta Force where Chuck Norris fires rockets from his motorcycle
8. The part in Fast and Furious 7 where Dwayne Johnson flexes his muscles and his cast falls off
9. The freeway chase in Bad Boys 2 with cars and trucks flying off the truck as Will Smith and Martin Lawrence pursue the bad guys
10. The gun battle and final Hummer chase in Bad Boys 2
11. The lobby shootout in The Matrix
12. The church scene with Queen Latifah in Last Holiday where she sings with passion
13. The opening sequence in Die Another Day where James Bond fights the North Koreans
14. The White House takeover scene in Olympus Has Fallen
15. The "get off my plane" scene in Air Force One
16. "Hasta la vista" in Terminator 2
17. The final showdown between James Bond and Alec Trevelyan in Goldeneye
18. Mel Gibson as William Wallace rallying his troops in Braveheart
19. Rush Hour where Jackie Chan says the N word in the black bar
20. Arnold kissing Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies with the nuclear explosion in the background
So yes of key top 20 fav scenes, the movies with more than one scene would be Goldeneye, True Lies and Bad Boys 2!!!!! 3 of these 20 also involve Pierce Brosnan's 007 and 3 of these involvement Arnold Schwarenegger and 2 include Mel Gibson and 2 involve Jackie Chan
