As the last Cult Film thread was so fun, let's try another!
Your favorite scene, for whatever reason, from a film new or old. I know we all will have so many! It's fun.
I will start.
The coin toss scene from "No Country for Old Men":
From "Heat" the 1st and only time Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro were in a scene together. It's amazing:
I mean, anyone can go on and on and on.
My favorite latest film, The Assassination Of Jesse James. The "No Eulogies for Bob" ending is so wonderful it's almost too pretty. The music, have a listen:

I'll bite...
1.) downtown gunfight from Heat. (Yes that is an amaaaazing movie!!!)
Fun fact: Michael Mann actually recorded the sound of each weapon and used it... vs "canned bullet sound"... this is an uncommon technique that Mann is known for in which he takes extra lengths for detail...
2.) Last fight in Ironclad (since I can't say "all fight scenes from Ironclad)
3.) Night raid scene from When the Last Sword is Drawn. Amazing film based on an unpublished Kurosawa screenplay. Later discovered and made.
4.) Bokken duel scene from Ame Agaru ("After the Rain")
5.) ANY scene from Boondock Saints... I mean any of them... but I do love their sense of humor, especially in the sequel... but nothing beats the shopping scene... you have to have some rope!

I will also point out that the final scene of heat they are also together..
And they did one and only one other movie together: Righteous Kill, but Heat is always going to be in my top 5 movies of forever because it was the first time they did a film together

Verity for the WIN! Yes right on all accounts, I was being loose with the description. If you like "Heat" this review is perfecto:
This should be in Cult Films but "Tough Enough" was a good one, like this:

Let's face it... there is not one movie by Mann I didn't like.
Heat, Collateral and Last of the Mohicans are my favorite three of his. Miami Vice was good... but I think he could have done better

Amen to that. Anything from Boondock Saints is great, especially the diversity of the word scene. For me, there's the final fight in Sword of the Stranger (moderate spoilers): The music, Ihojin no Yaiba (Foreigner's Blade), really just gives me chills every time I listen to it and pairing with a great fight is just excellent.

This is one of the dumbest scenes, but also the one I had the most laughs from.

One of the best anime fighting scenes i have ever seen. Might even be the actual best fighting scene. Good choice

That IS a good one... in the fantasy side (and I know SAO is a love or hate one), the fight between Kirito and Eugene is epic:

13th Warrior is full of good scenes, So, the dog can jump, ...grow stronger, etc. Did I mention the snake dance in From Dusk till Dawn already?

So many to choose from. For war movies few beat this one:
But this comes close, from Lawrence of Arabia:
