favorite movie scenes

Ars gratia arts – arts for arts sake , so runs the caption of the MGM , the colossal movie giant. But art being a channel of creative expression has the powerful ability to seep deep into the lives and dissolve with the souls to unleash stronger emotions. Especially with the movies, the boundary between the reenactment and reality seem to blur into a slice of life itself.. Here are some of my favorite movie scenes of all times, don’t try to look for order, its random and chaotic...and since im doing it parallel with a dozen other tasks im afraid that i may have missed some of the fav ones..... but for now..
CASINO: opening sequence, fav of all time...just sheer genius of scorsese
SCHINDLERS LIST : the gal in the red frock, kinda conveys the essnce of the movie, subtle but strong.
FORREST GUMP: when forrest learns he is a father n when he tells jenny that she was with him always....
BEAUTIFUL MIND: the cafe pens sequence ...the tormented days
GODFATHER too many,:horse scene, baptism scene, n when michael says, "today i settled some old family business,moe green is dead , so is schatzi, tattaglia.........."just the intensity in his eyes...no wonder they said... u went in to watch brando n came out talking pacino
BEN HUR: chariot scene for unbelivable conception
AMERICAN BEAUTY: the dining room scene , n my fav the polythene bag sequence....
T2: the chase
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY: the fake orgasm scene "when u want to spend the rest of ur life with someone u want that to start rest of ur life asap" what else?
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS:"I happened officer clarice u cannot reduce me to a set of influences."... antony hopkins as lecter is chilling in any frame
