I've looked through some of the other postings and at the risk of
repetition:

Are you a Beatles or Elvis man? Scene from Pulp Fiction (might only have
been in the Director's Cut) Also Bruce Willis in the cab after the fight
(the director's cut elaborated on this) plus ... plus ... plus

The Conversation - The opening scene where they are recording the
Conversation from 3 different sources also the blood in the toilet scene
(actually loads of good stuff - probably Gene's best work)

And talking of Gene Hackman ... French Connection where his Popeye character
doing surveillance across the street from the nice restaurant where the
suspect is dining. He's cold and hungry and it comes across.

The car chase in Bullit (on TV last week)

The Usual Suspects ... The final scene where the detective realises he's
been scammed by the gimp.

I guess I should mention the Italian Job and the final scene with on the
edge of the precipice

Ed Wood - the cross dresser scene in the bar with Orson Wells

Citizen Kane - too long since I last enjoyed this so I can't pick a
favourite scene

The Third Man (anyone see a theme here?) - The scene where Harry Lime
justifies his dodgy penicillin scam with a quote about Italy and violence
yet they produced Da Vinci and Michelangelo whereas the Swiss had peace and
democracy and all they could come up with was the cuckoo clock.

2001 - "Open the pod bay doors, Hal" and the immortal response "I'm sorry
Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that".

Bridges of Madison County ... Again a while since I've seen it so ...

Which thinking of Mr. Eastwood ... Fistful of Dollars and the scene where
the music box is used to time the shoot out but Clint has other ideas.

High Plains Drifter ....

Yeah, I know I'm quoting whole films :)

... And I really should do something productive :)
