The opening scene of A Clockwork Orange is one of the best opening scenes, definitely NSFW though,
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...71559366731578 Kubrick definitely changed the way I listen to Beethoven's Ninth and Ode to Joy with A Clockwork Orange and 2001. And of course the mickey mouse club theme song in Full Metal Jacket. |

And, in catering to my favorite demographic (no, not obnoxious Laker fans, pardon the redundancy):

I love this scene from Miller's Crossing. It is best viewed with a good sound system, but it's not too bad even on the youtube mini-screen:

I go back and forth about which of these is better:
Morricone's music takes over both scenes. Upon further thought I guess I'd have to give the edge to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly simply because Clint shooting Lee Van Cleef's hat into the grave reminds me of the The Simpsons episode where Homer buys a handgun and proceeds to use it for everything, including changing the channel on the TV.

Before I even clicked it, I knew it was something to do with the cutters, but I thought it would be the "tape my feet to the pedals" clip.

It may be cliche to point to the Godfather, but this scene is incredible. Throughout the entire movie, Michael is able to maintain his humanity; going to the theater with Kate, falling in love with the Italian girl, telling his dad about his son reading the funnies, etc. We see the murders and appreciate the ruthlessness of Michael when exacting revenge on the enemies of the family. But now we see the beginning of Michael's war on his own family and he loses his humanity and becomes a machine. A brilliant foreshadowing of when Michael later shuts the door on Kate's face in front of her children in Godfather II.
