Small selection of great scenes

Just a couple of great scenes from great movies and actors. Mind you, the scenes may contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movies... well, go see them!

Daniel Day-Lewis

As The Butcher in 'Gangs of New York', Daniel Day-Lewis delivers one of his many fine performances. In this scene he reveals an emotional side of himself not seen too many other times in the movie. His mannerism somewhat resembles Robert De Niro at his best in this scene, in my opinion.

Denzel Washington

Won an Academy Award for his role in 'Training Day', and his monologue towards the end is still a scene I can watch over and over again. Denzel at his best. And that is pretty damn good.

Robert De Niro

The character actor of character actors. Back in the days smoking on film was one of the coolest things you could do. In this scene from 'Goodfellas', Robert De Niro says nothing, but his eyes, his looks and his menacing grin all give the spectators a feeling that shit is about to go down...

Cinema Paradiso: The Final Scene

One of my all-time favorite endings of a movie. A finale that pays tribute to both the story, filmmaking and images in general. Jacques Perrin gives a perfect performance using no words, just as Robert De Niro's scene mentioned in 'Goodfellas'. 

The Departed

To finish off this small selection of 5 memorable scenes from movies, here are a few humorous outtakes from a movie. The scenes with Alec Baldwin in 'The Departed' are pretty much all amazing, two of my favorites being these two. He'll have to share the last one with Mark Wahlberg, who makes one helluva duo with the star from '30 Rock'.
