Great scenes, like great movies, hold to no particular blueprint. Some of them work only in relation to the moments that transpire before and/or after them. Others play like mini-movies themselves, their appeal independent of the feature-length films that house them. What all great scenes have in common, though, is their capability to imprint themselves on a viewers brain. 2014 has seen its fair share of great movie moments and, more specifically, epic movie moments. Scenes that are so amazing that you find yourself watching YouTube clips of them while youre on your lunch break at work. And thats the topic at hand today. At times, picking the films for this list was the easy part, the real trouble comes when trying to narrow it down to one sequence or scene. These cinematic moments range from a murderous ape hell-bent on the death of the human species to one of the greatest introductions to a character in film history. Individual scenes are the cinemas flashbulb memory, and though some of the films represented on this list certainly transcend their isolated pleasures, these moments ultimately defined 2014 in movies. So sit back, and re-live the twenty most epic movie moments that 2014 had to offer. Obviously, spoilers for all movies included. Proceed with caution.
