Never seen Butch Cassidy - that’s a great scene! But I could post up pics of a place I visited
where he and the kid hung out in Patagonia! 🤡

Subjective indeed (but not without some reason). My favorite scene from "The Deer Hunter" is when De Niro's character lets the buck go and screams "OK" at the roaring waterfall (Mouse's post).
Another best evah:

Not a best evah, but a good scene about how the way people interpret value in pop culture is a defining aspect of self-worth:

Marlow is on the mark with regard to Pulp Fiction's dance scene, one of the best in the movie.
It makes Vinnie very uncomfortable to be out with the boss' wife, but he still wants to look cool and his deadpan looks contrast with the smoothness of his moves--the same deadpan look he assumed when his partner went all AVENGING ANGEL in an earlier scene. This contrast makes for comedy. Tarantino plays a lot of situations in the movie for comedy, but this one happens to have no blood. But just wait a few...
Two great actors, Thurman and Travolta, a real 100% dyed-in-the-wool natural-born killer of a classic.

Some great picks.
Anybody see The Sand Pebbles?
The gunboat battle in the river still blows me away. Classic case of superior numbers almost over-running superior firepower. Steve McQueen wielding a Browning Automatic rifle, then taking an axe and cutting the bamboo cable (kills an attacker with the axe only to discover it was a kid he liked) and then with ultimate cool, nonchalantly hopping back onto the gunboat as it steams by.
It had to be one take.
Robert Wise was a great director.
