This is hard to answer, but...
*I thought Tango:Maureen was genius. I'm pretty sure this was the audience's favorite part when I saw the movie.
*Out Tonight...I loved when Rosario was dancing in the street. She was just having so much fun with the song, which is how it should be...not as calculated as I once saw in the stage production.
*La Vie Boheme, just another fun scene. I liked the reprise a lot, too.
I loved all of Jesse L. Martin's scenes, I'm discovering. He really is a phenomenal actor. My favorite? "Merry Christmas, bitches," followed by his whipping noises.
Without You and I'll Cover You (Reprise) had me sobbing both times, so I won't say they're my favorite...but they were both extremely touching and well-done.
loudasthehelliwant...your icon is the exact moment where I lost it in the movie. You're killing me, here!
I thought that Over the Moon was absolutely hysterical (especially w/ the screens in the background) and the I'll Cover You Reprise actually had me in tears. Hence, my two favorite scenes.

My favorite good scene: I'll Cover You. Angel and Collins dancing along, very fresh and entertaining and moving.
My favorite bad scene: the shots of Roger driving along in that big blue car, with his Farrah Fawcett hair blowin' in the wind.
I loved the part when Collins walks in at "Today for You" and he's goes, 'Merry Christmas bitches" he was so cute when he said that, but in 'Without You" that had to be one of the most emotional songs.
Ok I wanted to wait ot post in this one til my third viewing so hear goes
-La Vie Boheme, my favorite song and one of the best scenes because of its controlled chaos. Love the still of Mark rockinh out
-Tango Maureen the whole thing was just awesome (the eyebrow the throwing the jacket the "Pookie" "shut up" I just loved it to death
-Without was just moving
-As is all the life support scenes especially the Will I
- the line after Take Me Or Leave me
-The end of WYO...when they just look at each other and sing You're not alone, I'm not alone then the huge bear hug just was so moving. Just kinda showed I cant do this without you and reminded me of my friends...I lvoe it

Over the Moon was histarical! Me and a friend, who hadn't seen or heard RENT, were cracking up soooo much. We were almost in tears.
I LOVED the Tango:Maureen. The best musical number by far. I love Tracie and Anthony's chemistry throughout the whole movie. They really nailed it.
Angel was the best. Wilson made me crack up. I loved when they were locked out of the building and Angel was like "Hold on. I saw this on TV" and Collins said "Youre drunk" and Angel was like "No um not".
I'd have to say that my favorite scenes were the Life Support scenes... I loved "Life Support" and "Will I"... I just thought they were beautifully done! Also, of course Over The Moon was fantastic!
I'll Cover You!!! OMG! The 2 of them are SOOO cute. I want an angel!!
what i LOVED:
- the looks between roger and mimi when her azt alarm goes off at the life cafe. such a great moment
- anything jesse did (he might be my new favorite)
- all of without you
- the life support meetings
- roger's "Mimiiiiiii!!!"
- when roger looked at mimi's ass
- jesse's spins all over the place
- when joanne looked truly hurt and embarrassed during take me or leave me; she did a great job making that number look real
- mark in la vie
what was kinda silly:
- the britney spears moments in What You Own. i was totally disappointed - i love that song.

I like La Vie Boheme and I'll Cover You: Reprise on stage MUCH better, but I must say Without You and the Life Support sequences were powerful.
They cut the end of Goodbye Love, and I will never forgive Chris Columbus for such a move. When Mimi runs off at the end of that song... so powerful.
Tango: Right before the dream sequence, the eyebrows and facial expressions just sealed the deal.
LVB: I love it stage, and I love it on screen.
OTM: Loving Ms. Menzel and those TV monitors.

La Vie Boheme
Take Me or Leave Me
Tango: Maureen
Rent
Over the Moon
Best line: "Maybe now you two will get back together!"
Without You was my favorite, which is funny, because I usually don't care for that song at all. I really like the way it was done - the Life Support meeting and the people disappearing was really jarring. My friend afterwards said what really got her was that perfectly healthy and normal looking lady who disappeared. I'm glad they somewhat addressed the issue of AIDs that didn't have to do with the main characters.
My second favorite was The Tango scene, for obvious reasons. I just about peed in my seat.

Add me to the list of Christmas Day when Jesse says "Merry christmas bitches!" That cracked me, causing me to choked on my coke.
Also, I am in love with the way that they did "Without You." The clips, say an awful lot in such a short period of time.
I can deal with Britney's "WYO" moment, if I don't stare directly at the screen. The end was cute.
What did I miss? "Goodbye Love." Only because it's awkward as it moves to "WYO"
Overall though, fabulous film! The best I have seen all year.
I'll Cover You & Reprise

I'm not going to say scene, more moments:
TMOLM. Especially Collins and crew running around behind them.
"Merry Christmas bitches".
"You're druuuunk"
All of LVB, especially the "Mark hands"
"Don't get your ass kicked this time"
The many classic "mark looks": at Maureen's mom after TMOLM, when Maureen proposes to Joanne
The TV monitors in OTM
Any of Jesse's flawless pencil turns
Benny's reaction after "what's his name." "Joanne"
The many random Angel giggles, excited jumps, etc.
The very end of WYO which almost makes up for the horror that was the cliff.
Holy monkeys....I guess I have a lot of favorites.

I have to admit I openly sobbed at the Life Support meetings. When you saw those normal looking people fade away. I just completely lost it. Without You and I'll Cover You: Reprise, wow, I just, wow, I sobbed. Over the Moon and Mark's line about this not being his bar mitzvah, and the "maybe you two can get back together", and La Vue Boheme. They were all fantastic.
But I have to admit, I was the only one in the theater who thought this.
Out Tonight was awesome, but I thought it was a liiiitle too much Rosario that I saw for my liking.
I'm surprised that no one mentioned this:
Roger's "Eeeew!" in La Vie Boheme. Freaking DIED laughing.
And of course, "Merry Christmas, bitches!"
EDIT: Idina's chip-eating moment with the "There's always Buzzline"....deliciously trashy.
i loved in La Vie Boheme when they were scanning everyone on the table with the camera and Mark was in the middle dancing and everyone else was hugging/kissing...haha. i thought the tv's were HILARIOUS in OTM.
"Merry Christmas bitches"
after Take me or Leave me when Maureen's parents said to Mark "Maybe you can get back together now." or something along those lines..HAHA
i loved when Mark and Joanne were in the Buzzline meeting and Maureen is right there flirting with the secretary!
"I have to admit I openly sobbed at the Life Support meetings. When you saw those normal looking people fade away. I just completely lost it. Without You and I'll Cover You: Reprise, wow, I just, wow, I sobbed." ahhh me too...i lost it when Collins started singing 'I'll Cover You REPRISE' also..

ok i have more...
mark at the end of LVB, when everyone is like making out, and he just rocks out. me and my friends DIED!
the screens in OTM, and maureens squatting position when shes under "her swollen utter" and the sucking faces.
marks "f*cking weird" in TM
collins whip noises, and then after roger says he doesnt wanna go to the life support meeting, and collins and angel leave, angel kind of bunny hops off. priceless
when roger and mimi wipe the snow off their clothes, and then they start making out.
collins "you're drunk" and then angels, "no i'm not"
when they discover benny took all their stuff and collins just collapses on the floor, and laughs while pulling his glasses down.
thats all i got for now. more will definately come to mind.

Hard question... I loved the beginning of "Tango: Maureen", Anthony had the most amazing facial expressions, lol. "Out Tonight" was fantastic, I really like the way they started it at the Cat Scratch Club and then moved it to the street/her apartment. "La Vie Boheme" was great- it almost makes the stage version seem bare, I love how there is so much going on that you always see something new that you never saw before. Also, "I Should Tell You" was beautiful- just beautiful. I could pretty much name something I loved for each song/scene, it was just so well done!
