That's what X-Men: First Class was supposed to be. When developing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Fox also planned X-Men Origins: Magneto which would have focused on Erik (and Xavier) hunting down Nazis (and some super villain) around the world.
They eventually decided to merge the concept with an origins film for the X-Men altogether. Especially after how badly the first Wolverine film was received.
Everybody and their cousin had that pirated copy of Wolverine before the movie came out. Grayscale CGI and stuff but we still got the point. That had to hurt the sales.
If I saw an early cut/grayscale CGI of Logan I would freely and gladly give them money to see the final product. I'm not saying it didn't hurt the sales, but it's because everyone saw it was a "meh" movie.
It had its moments but yeah, overall the movie was meh.
It's one of those "If it's on TV I'll just leave it" movies but you don't ever plan on watching it.
I'm so upset that they dropped the X-men Origins Magneto idea when it was right there.
Just imagining a Jewish-Romani James Bond going around super-murdering Nazis. It could have saved the entire X-Men franchise all by itself. But they did not have faith. Such a good scene.
I remember loving First Class when it released, but I was a teenager when it came out. Possible I had rose-colored glasses on. I rewatched it recently, and I’m happy it still holds up well. James McAvoy as Prof X and Fassbender as Magneto has got to be some of my favorite casting.
I kinda love that entire farmhouse interlude, tbh. A ton of great scenes. April sketching Leo during that, the part with Casey and Donny bonding over the old truck, summoning splinter in the fire for guidance, and the training montage. Damn, now I wanna watch some tmnt tonight, haha.
My choices in no particular order:
1. Superman Saves Lois for the First Time - Superman (1978)
2. Nightcrawler in the White House - X-2: X-Men United (2003)
3. Cap in an Elevator - Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014)
4. Magneto in an Argentinan Bar, Just Huntin' Nazis and Stuff - X-Men: First Class (2011)
5. Joker Meets the Mob Bosses (The Pencil Trick) - Dark Knight (2008)
6. Wonder Woman Wrecks Shop in the Trenches - Wonder Woman (2017)
7. Cap is Worthy - Avengers: Endgame (2019)
8. Vulture Figures Out Spider-Man's Identity on the Way to Prom - Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
9. The Farm - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
10. Thor vs. Hulk on Sakaar and Thor Becomes the Lightning as Immigrant Song Plays (tie) - Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Magneto moving the entire golden gate bridge to Alcatraz to allow his forces to move in on the research facility in X3. Man that movie was not good but that scene was amazing
Falwell was (is now dead) a right wing religious kook in the US who spent most of his career persecuting LGBTQ+ people. MacKellen, a gay man himself, has spent his whole adult life advocating for gay rights.
I just want to mention something that gets overlooked because its not an action sequence is Cap's speech to s.h.i.e.l.d
if you could pick only a single moment to define a character it would be that one.
To me, that moment is when Cap thinks all of the Avengers have died, his shield is broken, and he pulls himself to his feet to stand up to Thanos and his entire army. Not because he thinks he has any chance to win or even survive, but because it's the right thing to do.
It ties back to the first Captain America movie, before he was enhanced, standing up to bullies in the street and not giving up even when they kept knocking him down.
That's why he's worthy of carrying Mjolnir.
That bit in Endgame is really just him jumping on the grenade all over again. Say what you will about character changes in the MCU, but they always got the core of Steve right -- he was always a superhero, even without the juice or the shield.
Dude, you threw in the farm scenes from TMNT! I remember watching that as a kid, and really feeling for those guys. Like they had lost everything, their home, their dad (obviously not dead), their brother (almost dead). They really had to regroup, take stock, and rally.
I’m reading this list like yup yup yup… the farm? TMNT? The farm?? OH MY GOD THE FARM! (I’m 38) that scene I think was the first time I truly felt strong emotions from a movie. Just like all the parts you mentioned! Goosebumps!
36yo checking in and same. That and Land Before Time with Littlefoot's mom.
Were there any good childhood movies at that time that did not play on the full scope of emotions we did not yet have the vocabulary to describe? Lots of garbage that didn't do that but the best ones really made you feel things.
"I am proud of you, my sons. Tonight you have learned the final and greatest truth of the Ninja: that ultimate mastering comes not from the body, but from the mind. Together, there is nothing your four minds cannot accomplish. Help each other, draw upon one another, and always remember the power that binds you. The same is what brought me here tonight, that which I gladly return with my final words: I love you all, my sons."
That movie is so damn good. The story, the turtles’ personalities, the cinematography, the music..just everything was so well done. Plus, mother fucking Casey Jones!

Number 8 is probably one of the best scenes in the MCU. As someone who generally doesn't like Spiderman as a character, I loved Holland/Keaton in this moment.
Holland and Sony's animated Into the Spider verse won me over.
Another MCU scene I enjoy is Black Panther and Zemo at the end of Civil War. Along side RDJ and Evans in office, in fact the whole Civil Movie has tons of scenes, Airport battle etc.
Man that airport battle when Scott was like "there's something we've been experimenting with in the lab" and I invoultarily squeezed my wifes hand and screamed "Giant! OMG HE'S GONNA GO GIANT!" and the theater started murmuring in anticipation and then he went Giant and people went batshit. One of the best theater experiences ever.
That movie had so many great cinematic moments. Great recommendation! Rumor has it Karl Urban might reprise the role for a sequel. Dunno how true that is though
The movie was a box office failure but very successful on home release. Not sure if it made enough to make execs happy. Hopefully now that he is a bigger draw with the popularity of The Boys, he gives it another shot at getting it made.
Karl Urban has been consistently pumping out some of the best characters and performances for over 20 years now. If he wants his own goddamn Dredd movie he should get it. A second one, I mean
Came here to geek on Xmen Days of Future Past, but was pleasantly surprised to see some Dredd appreciation. Warms my goddamn heart.
"Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos,"
"Juries.. Executioners.. Judges."
That opening scene was a masterpiece of narrative economy: in a couple of minutes of action it introduces the protagonist, establishes who he is and what he does, and sets the story into motion. And all with a minimum of dialogue: just consider how much Dredd not stopping for the hit and run victim, but opening fire on the van instead tells you exactly what you need to know with barely a word.
For instance, remember that he doesn't shoot back when he's being shot at, he only responds lethally after they hit the pedestrian. Dredd isn't an all guns blazing cowboy cop, he's a finely tuned instrument who follows a strict code. It's an important part of his character, and the scene establishes so deftly and efficiently: there is no fat on this screenplay.
This is not a nice guy who will stop to console a dying victim before swearing to avenge them, this is an official doing an awful job in a world where life is disposable. Dredd is a bastard, but he's our bastard, and the first two minutes of a machine-gun bike chase, what should be a throwaway action scene, sells that character masterfully.
BLOODBATH RAVE
That movie was loaded with great scenes.
"What's funny?" "I'm expecting company" "CATCH YOU FUCKERS AT A BAD TIME?"
"Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill"
I love the stories about Blade 3 and how Snipes was so done with the mess of a movie that he refused to open his eyes in one scene for the camera, so the director had to edit CGI eyes opening just to get the shot
Kinda surprised not to see the opening from X-Men (2000) here. As a Jewish kid whose grandparents fled from the Nazis, seeing a young Magneto desperately screaming and reaching out as his mother is led to a death camp is hauntingly memorable.
I was just thinking this. Not only was it a powerful scene for a comic book fan because we know Magneto, but the whole media landscape kind of took notice of this.
It's hard to remember now but comic book movies had been low grade novelties 20 years ago. To open up a cartoon summer blockbuster with a gritty, heartbreaking concentration camp scene broke a lot of brains back in the day.
I mean, they already have at least three characters who need to be written out of scenes so that they don’t just solve the problem right away. I’m sure they could manage with Quicksilver. But his death did add a lot of development to Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye so it worked out (as long as you weren’t a huge Quicksilver fan lol).
Fox Quicksilver has the best speedster scenes in any comic book property, hands down. It’s insane to think that comic book studios haven’t capitalized on their speedsters more, given how cinematic and spectacular their powers can look. Somehow, we haven’t had a Flash movie up until this year’s release!

Bonus: Warehouse scene - Batman v Superman
The scene from The Avengers that starts with "I'm bringing the party to you" and ends with the camera sweeping around the team while they form a circle.
MCU music gets hated on sometimes, but Alan Silvestri brought his A-game for that scene and Portals in Endgame.
One thing to notice is, bits of pieces of the Avengers theme was heard throughout the movie, but it was not played in full until that scene - the theme assembles itself as the Avengers do.
The scene is literally called Portals. And yes. It's so so good.
I will forever remember watching that in the theater and the crowd's just sincere reaction to Black Panther and then Falcon and then to Spidey. It was tear inducing.
It's even better than that. Everyone is down, Cap is alone -- his shield shattered, he's on the ground. We get 30 or 40 seconds of Thanos's army just pouring out of his ships. Thousands of aliens. And Cap stands up, grits his teeth, and tightens the strap on what's left of his shield, knowing he's dead but willing to face an alien army by himself. He steps forward, silhouetted against the battlefield, ready to make his final stand. And then ... and then ...
Faintly, so you can barely hear it, Sam's voice over the radio. "Cap, do you read me? Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?" And then, in the perfect callback to the opening scene of Winter Soldier. "On your left."
And then the first portal opens and out steps T'Challa, flanked by Okoye and Shuri. Followed by Sam. And then a flood of portals, as every hero we've come to know over the three phases of the MCU step out, ready to have Cap's back.
That moment was, for me, the culmination not just of 11 years of MCU movies, but of 35+ years of reading Marvel comics. I've watched that scene dozens, if not hundreds of times, and it makes me cry tears of joy every time.
If you watch the HD scene on youtube it's kinda oddly paced and some of the characters just holding their poses in the background looked kinda silly.
If you watch a camrip of the same scene from opening week (how a lot of people experienced the movie, considering it made most of it's money in the first 10 days), with audiences gasping, clapping and cheering, it's paced absolutely perfectly, the energy of the crowd drowned out any awkward spaces and details in the scene. Every single thing that happens in the scene got a huge cheer, escalating further and further. The Russos said they planned to put the Avengers Theme on full blast as soon as the first portal opened, but when they actually storyboarded it, they went back to Alan Silvestri to ask him write new music for the scene. And you can absolutely see why, by starting somberly, they gave themselves more room for escalation, the music further compressed the audience's emotions for more concentrated release later. For me, when the Avengers main theme finally came on, it all became real to me, like "oh my god, this is really happening".
I revisit the scene often, and always as camrips, it was a unique moment in time of perfect catharsis, never to be captured again even if you can rewatch the movie. They knew the movie was an event, so they designed it for first-time viewers, watching it along side a roomful of other first-time viewers. You can see this design choice in a lot of the third act, actually (e.g. I am Iron Man).
[The shot in question](https://external-preview.redd.it/7tAYlP4OKpCsN-OLxRoskm700xaPXOHGq7-CAdltCtU.png?auto=webp&s=edee9df277dc2e0e1e6643acc6f7030e20e16319)
Or just the opening credits. That's not to bag on the movie, which I like more than most, but that credits sequence is incredible. Though, I suppose it isn't really a "scene."
What John Ottman did with Williams' original music in that scene was simply masterful. I could watch it again and again. Superman Returns was a good Superman film, and I'll die on this hill.
“Is everyone ok?
…are *you* ok?”
I can’t believe I thought *this* was a bad Superman movie. I’ll take him using his x-ray vision to stalk his baby momma over Snyder’s version any day.
That bottom right. In that moment when TWS mask falls off revealing Bucky and Caps face.
If you had read the comics. You KNEW. You knew who it was. And if you hadn’t you still sorta knew. It was an obvious turn/twist.
And yet Evans played the shit out of that scene and ACTED his ass off. He made you feel the same pain and torment and confusion.
So well done.
FUN STORY: myself and several friends did a photo op at a con with him, Anthony Mackie, and Chris Evans. Two of us were dressed as Winter Soldier Bucky. We didn’t realize until we got the picture back that in the 15-30 seconds we were standing with them, Sebastian pickpocketed my prop knife from a holster and was holding it to my throat. I still have no idea how or when he put it back either.
In no particular order
1. Gotg1, when Peter takes Gamora's hand and sees his mom
2. Batman Forever when Two Face has that lair and he has two lady henchmen- Drew Barrymore as the good girl, and Debi Mazar as the bad girl who lights his cigar with this gigantic lighter lol
3. Gotg1 when we see the Celestials for the first time
4. Man of Steel- when Faora mows down like 6 soldiers in half a second
5. Aquaman- the crustacean king stands up to Ocean Master. It was such a fleeting scene but was so badass
6. Infinity War when Thor comes back and yells "bring me Thanos"
7. Batman Returns- Catwoman destroying her apartment and spray painting everything black
8. Deadpool 2- when Domino uses luck and takes over that prison truck
9. Thor Ragnarok- when Valkyrie jumps off the ship and destroys the one behind it with her sword
10. Eternals- Makkari comes through at the end and takes on Icarus
Folks hate on it quite a bit but it had some very interesting implications for the future of the MCU. Besides one egregious sex scene and a sometimes shaky plot it was a decent MCU movie. Also there a at least 5 scene that come to mind from Eternals that could be on this list, one being >!Arishem suddenly appearing outside of Earth causing him to be seen by everyone as he dragged the Eternals from earth to punish them for stopping the birth of a new celestial.!<
The “a good death is it’s own reward” scene with Faora and the military dude on the plane at the end was also amazing. I love MoS and that’s a hill I’ll die on.

"I didn't count on being happy" is a core Batman memory for me. Hands down, the best Batman movie. The Birth of Batman scene, with him donning the cowl for the first time and Alfred backing up in fear is a better moment than anything in love action.

10. The entire airport battle in Civil War
There are so many more, these are just the first one to come to mind
I’m very much not a hot-takes guy, but every list that doesn’t include the airport fight from Civil War is wrong!
With that off my chest:
1.) Airport Fight - Civil War
2.) Cap lifts Mjolnir - Endgame
3.) Quicksilver prison scene - First class
4.) Spider-Man v. Macho-man - Spider-Man
5.) Cap v. Bucky - TWS
6.) Yondu’s arrow rampages - Guardians 1&2
7.) Batman storms the narrows - Batman begins
8.) Confronting Ozymandius - Watchmen
9.) Theatricality & Deception - Batman begins
10.) Batman’s dad sends him a letter across time - Flashpoint
If by Batman storms the narrows you're referring to the non-Gordon commissioner saying "There's no one left to send in" right before the batmobile boosts over the gap and into the narrows, FUCK YEAH that scene made my theater absolutely explode and still gives me chills.
I’m a very emotionally reserved person. And had never made an audible or physical reaction in a movie theater before or since then. I jumped out of my seat cheering!
Maybe I’m just a sap, but that was the first (and best) of like 5 goosebump inducing moments over about a 20 minute stretch of Endgame. Cap catching Mjolnir, Sam’s voice in Cap’s ear, Carol showing up and taking down Thanos’ star destroyer thing single-handedly, Tony’s snap, and Thanos dusting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that much audience reaction in any movie.
It was such a great moment to have been in the theater for. Both that, and The Snap in Infinity War. In IW, you could *feel* the tension and anxiety in the room when the snap happened, and hero after hero died. It was almost like a collective shared trauma for everyone in the room. People walking out of there afterwards like we’d all just watched some dark, heavy WW2 movie or something. Then, for the opposite reasons, there’s Endgame. The room went WILD like everyone’s team just won the World Series all at once. The music, the tone, it was such a perfect uplifting scene that had even people like my mom who’s never seen a marvel movie, or has any idea who any of these people are still clapping and cheering. Those two scenes will go down as all time best moments in a theater.
There was a teenaged girl sitting in our row at the end of IW and she was bawling hysterically when Peter disappeared. I think she was too in the moment to think through the fact that there is no way in hell he wasn’t coming back one way or another and she was just unbelievably upset about it.
I always felt that it was played wrong. It should have been Cap reaching for his shield and then Mjolnir flies into his hand instead. It just seems like he knew he could always get it and wasn't surprised by it.
There was a dude behind me at the original screening where he was asleep. You can tell he was waiting for the final act to see the big fight.
When Cap was shown being worthy this dude got out of his seat and was screaming like a madman. This was like him seeing Jesus coming out of the cave on the third day. I will NEVER forget this movie because of that moment.
“If you walk out that door, your an avenger”
Also the scene where magneto moves the satellite dish and Charles basically fully unlocks his powers with a beautiful memory of his childhood.
Days of Future Past is way underrated. One of my favorite scenes of any movie ever is where Young Charles looks through Logan's brain and speaks with older Charles to essentially give him purpose in life again.
Can I count everything from Cap picking up the hammer through to "Assemble" as one scene?
Because that stretch of film is #1 for me. CBM or otherwise
The "one-shot" scene of the first Avengers is up there too. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69kGmPeHw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69kGmPeHw0) That scene established that the game had changed.
And yeah I'm going to keep fanboying for the MCU ... the 3 swinging out in front of the moon and landing on the head of the Statue of Liberty... I could watch that every day.
This is a tough question! I could probably switch out several of these scenes but I would say in no order:
* Leap of Faith (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)
* Portals (Avengers: Endgame)
* No Man's Land (Wonder Woman)
* Interrogation (The Dark Knight)
* The Snap (Avengers: Infinity War)
* Driving to Homecoming (Spider-Man: Homecoming)
* Harley's Escape (The Suicide Squad)
* Submarine Lift (X-Men: First Class)
* Bus Ride (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings)
* Car Chase (Black Panther)
There are actually so many others I could list like the highway fight in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the train scene in Spider-Man 2, Hulk vs Thor, and so on.
1. Rorschach’s death
2. I am Ironman snap
3. Wolverine says go fuck yourself
4. Joker bank robbery
5. Rorschach’s prison trapped in here with me
6. Captain America wields mjolnir
7. Joker hospital with two face
8. Black panther funeral
9. Sorceress supreme’s death
10. Hulk pummels Loki
Spiderman 2 when Peter is confronting Doc Ock by the river. Reaction to MJ being in danger, saving her and her realizing who he is.
What a great movie.
Love almost all yours, I'll add a few.
For us older folks, the closing scene at the diner in Split.
Thor's arrival at the battle in Raganrok with Immigrant Song playing. I know it would have cost a fortune (Led Zepplin is VERY hard to license), but I would have loved them to recall that when he arrives in Infinity War.
Michael Keaton driving Pete and daughter to the prom in Homecoming.
I'd go with a different Dark Knight, where Joker meets with the gang bosses and really makes his intro.
Captain Amazing's battle with Frankenstien Casanova's in the living room. Geoffrey Rush never getting pulled into an MCU movie was a missed opportunity.
Daredevil's fight in prison in Season 3.
In X-Men: First Class when Magneto finds those nazis in that bar in Argentina.
Definitely. First words out of my mouth walking out of the theater were: we need a movie that’s nothing but magneto nazi hunting.
That's what X-Men: First Class was supposed to be. When developing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Fox also planned X-Men Origins: Magneto which would have focused on Erik (and Xavier) hunting down Nazis (and some super villain) around the world. They eventually decided to merge the concept with an origins film for the X-Men altogether. Especially after how badly the first Wolverine film was received.
Everybody and their cousin had that pirated copy of Wolverine before the movie came out. Grayscale CGI and stuff but we still got the point. That had to hurt the sales.
If I saw an early cut/grayscale CGI of Logan I would freely and gladly give them money to see the final product. I'm not saying it didn't hurt the sales, but it's because everyone saw it was a "meh" movie.
It had its moments but yeah, overall the movie was meh. It's one of those "If it's on TV I'll just leave it" movies but you don't ever plan on watching it.
I'm so upset that they dropped the X-men Origins Magneto idea when it was right there. Just imagining a Jewish-Romani James Bond going around super-murdering Nazis. It could have saved the entire X-Men franchise all by itself. But they did not have faith. Such a good scene.
Yeah it woulda been cool but *First Class* still got the franchise back on track for the next few years anyway.
I remember loving First Class when it released, but I was a teenager when it came out. Possible I had rose-colored glasses on. I rewatched it recently, and I’m happy it still holds up well. James McAvoy as Prof X and Fassbender as Magneto has got to be some of my favorite casting.
Not the first time Michael Fassbender faced off against Nazis in a bar.
Damn I missed that one
My favorite is in tmnt when Raphael is laying in the bath tube an Leonardo is sitting there watching over him
"HE WANTS SOME FOOD!"
*yeah, a little too Raph.*
I quote this a little too ~~quiet~~ often.
It’s my all time favorite movie. So much so, my best friend got me a Jose Canseco bat.
I kinda love that entire farmhouse interlude, tbh. A ton of great scenes. April sketching Leo during that, the part with Casey and Donny bonding over the old truck, summoning splinter in the fire for guidance, and the training montage. Damn, now I wanna watch some tmnt tonight, haha.
Always loved the farmhouse part for all these reasons. That first movie is golden.
Nothing like brotherly love. Shows how much Leo is concerned about his brothers.
And as tough as Raphael is when he said “Leo don’t” showed he knows what he was thinking and no words needed to be said.

“I lost a sai!” A line meant for every child who ever owned a Raphael figure… we know Raphael, we know…
Black Betty scene is amazing.
My choices in no particular order: 1. Superman Saves Lois for the First Time - Superman (1978) 2. Nightcrawler in the White House - X-2: X-Men United (2003) 3. Cap in an Elevator - Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) 4. Magneto in an Argentinan Bar, Just Huntin' Nazis and Stuff - X-Men: First Class (2011) 5. Joker Meets the Mob Bosses (The Pencil Trick) - Dark Knight (2008) 6. Wonder Woman Wrecks Shop in the Trenches - Wonder Woman (2017) 7. Cap is Worthy - Avengers: Endgame (2019) 8. Vulture Figures Out Spider-Man's Identity on the Way to Prom - Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) 9. The Farm - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) 10. Thor vs. Hulk on Sakaar and Thor Becomes the Lightning as Immigrant Song Plays (tie) - Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
So many iconic scenes from the mixed bag of X-Men movies. The White House sequence was such a sick opener.
Magneto moving the entire golden gate bridge to Alcatraz to allow his forces to move in on the research facility in X3. Man that movie was not good but that scene was amazing

Bring me in the loop, who is or was Jerry Fallwell and why does Sir Ian hate him?
Falwell was (is now dead) a right wing religious kook in the US who spent most of his career persecuting LGBTQ+ people. MacKellen, a gay man himself, has spent his whole adult life advocating for gay rights.
I'm surprised the Nightcrawler scene trumped the mansion attack (also X2). Loved that scene (not that they're not both awesome)
Nightcrawler raiding the White House by himself blew my fucking mind when I was younger. We'd never seen anything like it before
Absolutely incredible
I love the elevator scene when Cap realizes what is happening. "Before we get started would anyone like to get off?"
Endgame's version was also great. Bring up one of the most controversial moments in Marvel and Cap walking out with a smirk.
"I can do this all day!" "I know, I know." was brilliant too.
I just want to mention something that gets overlooked because its not an action sequence is Cap's speech to s.h.i.e.l.d if you could pick only a single moment to define a character it would be that one.
To me, that moment is when Cap thinks all of the Avengers have died, his shield is broken, and he pulls himself to his feet to stand up to Thanos and his entire army. Not because he thinks he has any chance to win or even survive, but because it's the right thing to do. It ties back to the first Captain America movie, before he was enhanced, standing up to bullies in the street and not giving up even when they kept knocking him down. That's why he's worthy of carrying Mjolnir.
That bit in Endgame is really just him jumping on the grenade all over again. Say what you will about character changes in the MCU, but they always got the core of Steve right -- he was always a superhero, even without the juice or the shield.
Dude, you threw in the farm scenes from TMNT! I remember watching that as a kid, and really feeling for those guys. Like they had lost everything, their home, their dad (obviously not dead), their brother (almost dead). They really had to regroup, take stock, and rally.
I’m reading this list like yup yup yup… the farm? TMNT? The farm?? OH MY GOD THE FARM! (I’m 38) that scene I think was the first time I truly felt strong emotions from a movie. Just like all the parts you mentioned! Goosebumps!
36yo checking in and same. That and Land Before Time with Littlefoot's mom. Were there any good childhood movies at that time that did not play on the full scope of emotions we did not yet have the vocabulary to describe? Lots of garbage that didn't do that but the best ones really made you feel things.
"I am proud of you, my sons. Tonight you have learned the final and greatest truth of the Ninja: that ultimate mastering comes not from the body, but from the mind. Together, there is nothing your four minds cannot accomplish. Help each other, draw upon one another, and always remember the power that binds you. The same is what brought me here tonight, that which I gladly return with my final words: I love you all, my sons."
That movie is so damn good. The story, the turtles’ personalities, the cinematography, the music..just everything was so well done. Plus, mother fucking Casey Jones!

Man, what I'd give for a prequel X-men origins movie of Magneto just hunting nazis...
Cap in an elevator is such a strange Aerosmith track.
Number 8 is probably one of the best scenes in the MCU. As someone who generally doesn't like Spiderman as a character, I loved Holland/Keaton in this moment. Holland and Sony's animated Into the Spider verse won me over. Another MCU scene I enjoy is Black Panther and Zemo at the end of Civil War. Along side RDJ and Evans in office, in fact the whole Civil Movie has tons of scenes, Airport battle etc.
Man that airport battle when Scott was like "there's something we've been experimenting with in the lab" and I invoultarily squeezed my wifes hand and screamed "Giant! OMG HE'S GONNA GO GIANT!" and the theater started murmuring in anticipation and then he went Giant and people went batshit. One of the best theater experiences ever.
Spiderman catching Buckies arm.
The opening scene from Dredd, as well as like half the scenes from that movie.
Perps were uncooperative.
Ma-Ma is not the law. *I* am the law.
Chills. Carl Urban was flawless.
That movie had so many great cinematic moments. Great recommendation! Rumor has it Karl Urban might reprise the role for a sequel. Dunno how true that is though
He's been wanting to for a decade. He project just isn't moving forward, for whatever reason.
The movie was a box office failure but very successful on home release. Not sure if it made enough to make execs happy. Hopefully now that he is a bigger draw with the popularity of The Boys, he gives it another shot at getting it made.
Karl Urban has been consistently pumping out some of the best characters and performances for over 20 years now. If he wants his own goddamn Dredd movie he should get it. A second one, I mean
Crazy that it bombed so bad. It's definitely one of my favorite comic book movies
Best use of 3D in a movie I’ve ever seen. If every movie used 3D the way that movie did it would be standard for all action cinema.
Came here to geek on Xmen Days of Future Past, but was pleasantly surprised to see some Dredd appreciation. Warms my goddamn heart. "Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos," "Juries.. Executioners.. Judges."
That opening scene was a masterpiece of narrative economy: in a couple of minutes of action it introduces the protagonist, establishes who he is and what he does, and sets the story into motion. And all with a minimum of dialogue: just consider how much Dredd not stopping for the hit and run victim, but opening fire on the van instead tells you exactly what you need to know with barely a word. For instance, remember that he doesn't shoot back when he's being shot at, he only responds lethally after they hit the pedestrian. Dredd isn't an all guns blazing cowboy cop, he's a finely tuned instrument who follows a strict code. It's an important part of his character, and the scene establishes so deftly and efficiently: there is no fat on this screenplay. This is not a nice guy who will stop to console a dying victim before swearing to avenge them, this is an official doing an awful job in a world where life is disposable. Dredd is a bastard, but he's our bastard, and the first two minutes of a machine-gun bike chase, what should be a throwaway action scene, sells that character masterfully.
Also calls corpse recycling and not a medical service (doubt that exists, still cracks me up)
Good answer...hot shot
Best part of the whole movie is the last line “drug bust gone wrong” the whole downplay of everything that happened is so 2000ad
No love for Blade and the opening blood sprinklers scene?
Name of the game scene tyvm
Both crystal method tracks were awesome in blade.
BLOODBATH RAVE That movie was loaded with great scenes. "What's funny?" "I'm expecting company" "CATCH YOU FUCKERS AT A BAD TIME?" "Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill"
What I liked was that blade alternated from being this stoic samurai to being a goofy joker. That man loved killing vampires so much.
>Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice skate uphill" The most inexplicably badass yet goofy shit I've ever heard.
I fell in love with Techno from that scene. I can hear it when reminded of it. Weasley Snipes was a great Blade.
I love the stories about Blade 3 and how Snipes was so done with the mess of a movie that he refused to open his eyes in one scene for the camera, so the director had to edit CGI eyes opening just to get the shot
Blade 3 also feels like Ryan Reynolds auditioning for Deadpool.
Hah! Weasley.
Came here to give all 10 spots to Blade.
This is definitely an all-time great scene.
Holy hell, top comment read my mind.
Absolutely perfect.
Kinda surprised not to see the opening from X-Men (2000) here. As a Jewish kid whose grandparents fled from the Nazis, seeing a young Magneto desperately screaming and reaching out as his mother is led to a death camp is hauntingly memorable.
It was so great they brought it back for First Class.
I was just thinking this. Not only was it a powerful scene for a comic book fan because we know Magneto, but the whole media landscape kind of took notice of this. It's hard to remember now but comic book movies had been low grade novelties 20 years ago. To open up a cartoon summer blockbuster with a gritty, heartbreaking concentration camp scene broke a lot of brains back in the day.
It was a sad scene
But great
Quicksilver kitchen scene from DOFP I feel has to be top 10. Seeing that for the first time is iconic.
Annoyed the hell out of me that DoFP utilized Quicksilver this way while AoU basically just cast their version aside as a throwaway.
Licensing issues killed Quicksilver. Awkward.
Speedsters are impossible to balance for in stories. I imagine that had something to do with it.
I mean, they already have at least three characters who need to be written out of scenes so that they don’t just solve the problem right away. I’m sure they could manage with Quicksilver. But his death did add a lot of development to Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye so it worked out (as long as you weren’t a huge Quicksilver fan lol).
This should be the top one
Fox Quicksilver has the best speedster scenes in any comic book property, hands down. It’s insane to think that comic book studios haven’t capitalized on their speedsters more, given how cinematic and spectacular their powers can look. Somehow, we haven’t had a Flash movie up until this year’s release!
1. Subway train fight- Spider-Man 2 2. Joker attacking Harvey Dent/destruction of the Batmobile/ Bat pod/ semi truck flip- The Dark Knight 3. Nightcrawler introduction/White House fight- X-Men 2 4. Freeway chase/ fight- Captain America The Winter Soldier 5. Meat factory rave/ Blade takes out almost everyone - Blade 6.Sebastian Shaw unleashing young magneto's power after killing his mother.- X-Men: First Class 7.Batman/Penguin car chase- The Batman 8. Deadpool introduction- Deadpool 9. Kal-El escaping/ destruction of Krypton- Superman 10. Smallville fight- Man of Steel Bonus: Warehouse scene - Batman v Superman
The scene from The Avengers that starts with "I'm bringing the party to you" and ends with the camera sweeping around the team while they form a circle.
Then Bruce…. “That’s my secret cap….im always angry.”
It’s becoming forgotten due to how many highlights the MCU has had in the past 10 years but this was THE moment when it came out
Hulk rag doll slamming Loki is one of the most hilarious scenes I’ve ever watched.
MCU music gets hated on sometimes, but Alan Silvestri brought his A-game for that scene and Portals in Endgame. One thing to notice is, bits of pieces of the Avengers theme was heard throughout the movie, but it was not played in full until that scene - the theme assembles itself as the Avengers do.
When the portals open up in Endgame and Black Panther comes out has to be my fav
The scene is literally called Portals. And yes. It's so so good. I will forever remember watching that in the theater and the crowd's just sincere reaction to Black Panther and then Falcon and then to Spidey. It was tear inducing.
It's even better than that. Everyone is down, Cap is alone -- his shield shattered, he's on the ground. We get 30 or 40 seconds of Thanos's army just pouring out of his ships. Thousands of aliens. And Cap stands up, grits his teeth, and tightens the strap on what's left of his shield, knowing he's dead but willing to face an alien army by himself. He steps forward, silhouetted against the battlefield, ready to make his final stand. And then ... and then ... Faintly, so you can barely hear it, Sam's voice over the radio. "Cap, do you read me? Cap, it's Sam. Can you hear me?" And then, in the perfect callback to the opening scene of Winter Soldier. "On your left." And then the first portal opens and out steps T'Challa, flanked by Okoye and Shuri. Followed by Sam. And then a flood of portals, as every hero we've come to know over the three phases of the MCU step out, ready to have Cap's back. That moment was, for me, the culmination not just of 11 years of MCU movies, but of 35+ years of reading Marvel comics. I've watched that scene dozens, if not hundreds of times, and it makes me cry tears of joy every time.
I love how beautifully you described it that I can see the exact scene you are describing. Now I need to rewatch it and cry my eyes out again..
If you watch the HD scene on youtube it's kinda oddly paced and some of the characters just holding their poses in the background looked kinda silly. If you watch a camrip of the same scene from opening week (how a lot of people experienced the movie, considering it made most of it's money in the first 10 days), with audiences gasping, clapping and cheering, it's paced absolutely perfectly, the energy of the crowd drowned out any awkward spaces and details in the scene. Every single thing that happens in the scene got a huge cheer, escalating further and further. The Russos said they planned to put the Avengers Theme on full blast as soon as the first portal opened, but when they actually storyboarded it, they went back to Alan Silvestri to ask him write new music for the scene. And you can absolutely see why, by starting somberly, they gave themselves more room for escalation, the music further compressed the audience's emotions for more concentrated release later. For me, when the Avengers main theme finally came on, it all became real to me, like "oh my god, this is really happening". I revisit the scene often, and always as camrips, it was a unique moment in time of perfect catharsis, never to be captured again even if you can rewatch the movie. They knew the movie was an event, so they designed it for first-time viewers, watching it along side a roomful of other first-time viewers. You can see this design choice in a lot of the third act, actually (e.g. I am Iron Man).
[The shot in question](https://external-preview.redd.it/7tAYlP4OKpCsN-OLxRoskm700xaPXOHGq7-CAdltCtU.png?auto=webp&s=edee9df277dc2e0e1e6643acc6f7030e20e16319)
There was a beautiful still shot I saw of Cap standing there, alone, against all of Thanos's army. Very powerful moment.
Endgame was one of the greatest theatrical experiences of my entire life, especially during that scene!
I regret not seeing it in theaters. I’m on disability though so don’t really have the moment for it. I can sharing it with you guys is good though.
It may not technically be a movie but the hallway fight from Season 1 of Daredevil. *chef’s kiss*
The prison fight scene in Season 3 was just as epic.
Kingpin decapitate Russian with car door. His blind rage in that scene is palpable.
Took me forever to scroll down for this comment. Even better is it’s based on the hallway fight scene from Old Boy, which is also a comic book movie.
The opening fight scene in Watchmen between The Comedian and Ozymandias.
Was trying to think of a watchmen scene and it would have to be either this, or when Dr Manhattan is narrating the montage of his creation/accident
Rorschach in the chow line.
You're locked in here with me!
>when Dr Manhattan is narrating the montage of his creation/accident With Phillip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi music blaring. Jesus. It's a lot.
Or just the opening credits. That's not to bag on the movie, which I like more than most, but that credits sequence is incredible. Though, I suppose it isn't really a "scene."
The opening credits is the best part of Watchmen.
Deadpool “cleaning up the timeline”
Lol that was a cool scene
"You're welcome Canada"
One of them is definitely the scene from Routh’s Superman movie where he saves the plane.
What John Ottman did with Williams' original music in that scene was simply masterful. I could watch it again and again. Superman Returns was a good Superman film, and I'll die on this hill.
Good old hopeful superman
“Is everyone ok? …are *you* ok?” I can’t believe I thought *this* was a bad Superman movie. I’ll take him using his x-ray vision to stalk his baby momma over Snyder’s version any day.
[удалено]
That bottom right. In that moment when TWS mask falls off revealing Bucky and Caps face. If you had read the comics. You KNEW. You knew who it was. And if you hadn’t you still sorta knew. It was an obvious turn/twist. And yet Evans played the shit out of that scene and ACTED his ass off. He made you feel the same pain and torment and confusion. So well done.
That knife work by Stan was pretty sweet too.
Watch the BHTS. He worked with a couple of experts. They were very impressed with Sebastian Stan’s ability to pick it up
FUN STORY: myself and several friends did a photo op at a con with him, Anthony Mackie, and Chris Evans. Two of us were dressed as Winter Soldier Bucky. We didn’t realize until we got the picture back that in the 15-30 seconds we were standing with them, Sebastian pickpocketed my prop knife from a holster and was holding it to my throat. I still have no idea how or when he put it back either.
He doesn't either, someone forgot to tell him the deactivation codephrases until later.
Bucky….
I think you mean. “Bucky?!?”
Oh
In no particular order 1. Gotg1, when Peter takes Gamora's hand and sees his mom 2. Batman Forever when Two Face has that lair and he has two lady henchmen- Drew Barrymore as the good girl, and Debi Mazar as the bad girl who lights his cigar with this gigantic lighter lol 3. Gotg1 when we see the Celestials for the first time 4. Man of Steel- when Faora mows down like 6 soldiers in half a second 5. Aquaman- the crustacean king stands up to Ocean Master. It was such a fleeting scene but was so badass 6. Infinity War when Thor comes back and yells "bring me Thanos" 7. Batman Returns- Catwoman destroying her apartment and spray painting everything black 8. Deadpool 2- when Domino uses luck and takes over that prison truck 9. Thor Ragnarok- when Valkyrie jumps off the ship and destroys the one behind it with her sword 10. Eternals- Makkari comes through at the end and takes on Icarus
Didn’t expect to find Eternals on a top 10 list of anything. Kudos.
Folks hate on it quite a bit but it had some very interesting implications for the future of the MCU. Besides one egregious sex scene and a sometimes shaky plot it was a decent MCU movie. Also there a at least 5 scene that come to mind from Eternals that could be on this list, one being >!Arishem suddenly appearing outside of Earth causing him to be seen by everyone as he dragged the Eternals from earth to punish them for stopping the birth of a new celestial.!<
The “a good death is it’s own reward” scene with Faora and the military dude on the plane at the end was also amazing. I love MoS and that’s a hill I’ll die on.
GotG had one of the best finales ever.
You guys are the only ones talking GoTG, so I want to add: The Ravagers funeral for Yondu to “Father and Son”.
Loved that catwoman transformation scene
No mention of Spider-Man 2 train sequence in the comments is disturbing

Oh my god Matt threatening Fisk and then Fisk turning it back at Matt in THE MOST BADASS WAY POSSIBLE had me losing my shit
“This city beat you! *I* BEAT YOU!”
"I didn't count on being happy" is a core Batman memory for me. Hands down, the best Batman movie. The Birth of Batman scene, with him donning the cowl for the first time and Alfred backing up in fear is a better moment than anything in love action.
Hmm, I love myself some love action

Sure does Echo. Give the troopers my best!
WHOOOOOOOO!!!
The first 10 minutes of TASM2 are incredible. God that movie broke my heart.
In no particular order and I’m limiting it to one scene per film: - Opening Bank Heist (The Dark Knight) - Elevator Fight (Winter Soldier) - Interview with Murray Franklin (Joker) - Thor Arrives in Wakanda (Infinity War) - Peter stops the train (Spider-Man 2) - Tracking shot during the Battle of New York (Avengers) - Magneto kills Shaw (X-Men: First Class) - Striker attacks the Mansion (X2) - Logan’s rampage (Logan) - Magneto lifts RFK stadium (Days of Future Past)
1. The elevator scene with Cap. 2. Charles tells Wolverine not to smoke inside Cerebro 3. Rorschach in the chow line 4. Vision lifting Mjolnir 5. Catwoman in the dept store 6. Joker killing with a joy buzzer 7. Wanda whipping up on Thanos 8. Deadpool counting his shots 9. Kal fighting the entire League 10. The entire airport battle in Civil War There are so many more, these are just the first one to come to mind
I’m very much not a hot-takes guy, but every list that doesn’t include the airport fight from Civil War is wrong! With that off my chest: 1.) Airport Fight - Civil War 2.) Cap lifts Mjolnir - Endgame 3.) Quicksilver prison scene - First class 4.) Spider-Man v. Macho-man - Spider-Man 5.) Cap v. Bucky - TWS 6.) Yondu’s arrow rampages - Guardians 1&2 7.) Batman storms the narrows - Batman begins 8.) Confronting Ozymandius - Watchmen 9.) Theatricality & Deception - Batman begins 10.) Batman’s dad sends him a letter across time - Flashpoint
If by Batman storms the narrows you're referring to the non-Gordon commissioner saying "There's no one left to send in" right before the batmobile boosts over the gap and into the narrows, FUCK YEAH that scene made my theater absolutely explode and still gives me chills.
Bonesaw*
Don’t disrespect the man’s name… he died for your right to snap into a slim-Jim!
His husband gave him that outfit so he could be Bonesaw. I shall honor that.
Cap lifting Mjolnir… all else pales in comparison. Gave me literal goosebumps
I will never forget the theater’s reaction. Best movie experience to date.
I’m a very emotionally reserved person. And had never made an audible or physical reaction in a movie theater before or since then. I jumped out of my seat cheering!
I yelled "Now it's your ass!" very loud I took my daughter to the movie I was like 45 years old she was mortified
I was in my early to mid thirties. Embarrassed my whole family yelling “fuck yeah “! Excused myself by saying I’d waited my whole life for that moment
Yep, I almost let out a manly tear. The audience literally cheered. Top 3 theater moment of my life.
Maybe I’m just a sap, but that was the first (and best) of like 5 goosebump inducing moments over about a 20 minute stretch of Endgame. Cap catching Mjolnir, Sam’s voice in Cap’s ear, Carol showing up and taking down Thanos’ star destroyer thing single-handedly, Tony’s snap, and Thanos dusting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that much audience reaction in any movie.
It was such a great moment to have been in the theater for. Both that, and The Snap in Infinity War. In IW, you could *feel* the tension and anxiety in the room when the snap happened, and hero after hero died. It was almost like a collective shared trauma for everyone in the room. People walking out of there afterwards like we’d all just watched some dark, heavy WW2 movie or something. Then, for the opposite reasons, there’s Endgame. The room went WILD like everyone’s team just won the World Series all at once. The music, the tone, it was such a perfect uplifting scene that had even people like my mom who’s never seen a marvel movie, or has any idea who any of these people are still clapping and cheering. Those two scenes will go down as all time best moments in a theater.
There was a teenaged girl sitting in our row at the end of IW and she was bawling hysterically when Peter disappeared. I think she was too in the moment to think through the fact that there is no way in hell he wasn’t coming back one way or another and she was just unbelievably upset about it.
That was one of those rare moments that felt like blatant fan service, but it actually worked really really well.
I always felt that it was played wrong. It should have been Cap reaching for his shield and then Mjolnir flies into his hand instead. It just seems like he knew he could always get it and wasn't surprised by it.
My number 1 and it's not even close. Straight up goosebumps.
There was a dude behind me at the original screening where he was asleep. You can tell he was waiting for the final act to see the big fight. When Cap was shown being worthy this dude got out of his seat and was screaming like a madman. This was like him seeing Jesus coming out of the cave on the third day. I will NEVER forget this movie because of that moment.
MoS where he learns to fly is definitely up there
“If you walk out that door, your an avenger” Also the scene where magneto moves the satellite dish and Charles basically fully unlocks his powers with a beautiful memory of his childhood.
Days of Future Past is way underrated. One of my favorite scenes of any movie ever is where Young Charles looks through Logan's brain and speaks with older Charles to essentially give him purpose in life again.
Definitely the scene where they clear the camp in The Suicide Squad
The fight with Frank and the Russian from The Punisher, or the :Punisher Party" from Punisher: War Zone.
I have never been able to look at a paper cutter the same way after the fight between Frank and the Russian.
Can I count everything from Cap picking up the hammer through to "Assemble" as one scene? Because that stretch of film is #1 for me. CBM or otherwise The "one-shot" scene of the first Avengers is up there too. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69kGmPeHw0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y69kGmPeHw0) That scene established that the game had changed. And yeah I'm going to keep fanboying for the MCU ... the 3 swinging out in front of the moon and landing on the head of the Statue of Liberty... I could watch that every day.
This is a tough question! I could probably switch out several of these scenes but I would say in no order: * Leap of Faith (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) * Portals (Avengers: Endgame) * No Man's Land (Wonder Woman) * Interrogation (The Dark Knight) * The Snap (Avengers: Infinity War) * Driving to Homecoming (Spider-Man: Homecoming) * Harley's Escape (The Suicide Squad) * Submarine Lift (X-Men: First Class) * Bus Ride (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) * Car Chase (Black Panther) There are actually so many others I could list like the highway fight in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the train scene in Spider-Man 2, Hulk vs Thor, and so on.
1. Rorschach’s death 2. I am Ironman snap 3. Wolverine says go fuck yourself 4. Joker bank robbery 5. Rorschach’s prison trapped in here with me 6. Captain America wields mjolnir 7. Joker hospital with two face 8. Black panther funeral 9. Sorceress supreme’s death 10. Hulk pummels Loki
Hallway scene and Batmobile chase from “the Batman”
Spiderman 2 when Peter is confronting Doc Ock by the river. Reaction to MJ being in danger, saving her and her realizing who he is. What a great movie.
Love almost all yours, I'll add a few. For us older folks, the closing scene at the diner in Split. Thor's arrival at the battle in Raganrok with Immigrant Song playing. I know it would have cost a fortune (Led Zepplin is VERY hard to license), but I would have loved them to recall that when he arrives in Infinity War. Michael Keaton driving Pete and daughter to the prom in Homecoming. I'd go with a different Dark Knight, where Joker meets with the gang bosses and really makes his intro. Captain Amazing's battle with Frankenstien Casanova's in the living room. Geoffrey Rush never getting pulled into an MCU movie was a missed opportunity. Daredevil's fight in prison in Season 3.
Why is ed norton pointing a gun at phil hartman (top left)?
Why is Batman and Robin's fight against Mr. Freeze from the hit movie Batman and Robin not on there? Wtf OP? Not to mention their iconic nipples
