50 Greatest Movie Scenes Of All Time

30. Sunrise - Drown Her Sunrise. Another much unknown film to most, is perhaps the starting point of passionate cinema. Films about murder were made before, but they were so much more figurative. This however, is completely within the means of all people. And that is why it is so great. Please watch this masterpiece if you ever have the chance. http://youtu.be/5YiTQwqRufs

29. There Will be Blood - I've Abandoned My Child

€œI€™ve abandoned my child. I€™ve abandoned my child. I€™ve abandoned my boy.€ Powerful, powerful stuff. It has no symbolic meaning; it is just a piece of tranquil acting. I think it places so highly on my list because€well€because it is so immense. It makes you want to hate and love Daniel Plainview. It makes you want to hate Eli. It makes you want to shout out something. Something un-collective, something that you feel €“ not something you are supposed to feel. http://youtu.be/JghkG4WydNk

28. The Searchers - Let's Go Home, Debbie

€œLet€™s go home, Debbie.€ Is such a well-crafted scene. Its director John Huston knew exactly what he was doing by implementing this cold and utterly trembling quote. It leaves a lot of questions, most of which can be unanswered. But the always unanswered question remains: is Ethan Debbie€™s father? I personally find the film to be one of the greatest ever made. If this scene is not a prime example of its excellence, I don€™t know what is. http://youtu.be/ci3a4zc-40I

27. Raging Bull - End Scene

The end scene in Raging Bull represents something much lost in film, and that is drawing out emotions. It hits you in many different ways: it could make you empathise with Jake, or it could make you hate him more. The ending bible passage is a real thinker, as well as the symbolic score. The Brando quote, the shadowboxing. All of it culminates into one short and sweet scene. It€™s one that will remain with me forever. http://youtu.be/KLNft6cO0I4
