- The opening long shot in Touch of Evil with the ticking clock building suspense.
- The final scene in La Haine is devastating.
- The final scene of Sweet Smell of Success for pure cynicism.
- Pretty much all of The Wages of Fear for suspense, but if I have to hold up some scenes: 1) the confrontation in the restaurant; 2) the platform scene; 3) the boulder scene; 4) the Blue Danube scene.
- The raw emotional impact of the final confrontation in Secrets & Lies.
The NYT has a series of "Anatomy of a Scene" videos. These are mostly not very notable scenes, but it's still interesting to see what goes into them:

- pradn 4y agoI do wonder if my response to La Haine has been tempered by me seeing the movies that came after it and were even more blunt and raw. It's a fantastic watch none-the-less. Thank you, I'll have to watch the other films you mentioned. :)
- lern_too_spel 4y ago- The Anakin and Padme picnic scene in Attack of the Clones No other scene in the history of movies has made me contemplate my life choices and the choices of others to that degree. I believe that is what Lucas was aiming for in the next film, but it really hit right there like a mallet to a rubber chicken launcher.
