Wish she had kept with acting!
Trouble uplloading right now, but the NICHOLSON rant to ANN MARGRET in CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. (the "domestic rant"). Absolutely brilliant! His best ever, imho.
The letter scene from "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie"
I am a Teacher!
I also love The Color Purple, but I'd go with the holiday meal scene.

No surprise there...just love the cuts to Regan. Of course there are so many more from this film.
Also the opening mountaintop from "The Sound of Music".

This is not a movie moment, but it is really cool:
This Makes Life Worth Living
when you're alone and life is making you lonely you can always go....

...there's a lot more where that came from
The ending scene from Dancer in the Dark.
Amazingly acted by Björk. Possibly the most strongest scene in any movie I have ever seen.
Edit: I should warn about the strong contents in this scene. This scene shocked me for days afterwards, so be warned!

Another favorite is the "choice-scene" from Sophie's Choice with beautiful Meryl Streep.

JohnBoy, I love the part in that movie at the very end where the hand comes up out of the grave. I still jump every time.
I love every part of Carrie, Stockard.
Here's what I guess is my absolute favorite motion picture moment. It's just so damned cinematic and wonderful. Even after all these years and countless viewings, the opening remains the greatest in motion picture history, imo:
The Greatest
Another one of my favorite moments. Made even more special, because it's in a film I otherwise hate; but boy do I love this!
Swanee
They never show all of that gorgeous cinematography when they show TSOM on TV. At first I wasn't even sure what movie it was.
I think the last time I watched it on television was 1976!
lol Stock. I have not seen the movie in the longest time (I may or may not still have the VHS tape) and all I could think about the beginning of the clips was 'Wait.... huh..... is- is this the beginning of The Shining?'
A classic:

Strummer for about 15 seconds I thought it was the Shining too.
