You have ONE scene. Sell a movie!
It looks like a big music video, but it's actually a scene from the anime film, The End of Evangelion, one of my top three films. At the 2.22 min mark it begins to rock. If you like it, watch the whole series, you frauds!
What is the ONE scene you would show your friends to convince them to watch a specific film?

that's kinda gross. i'm showing my kids.
little miss i thought you said martitties! like martian wordplay <3
This is difficult to do, because most of my favorite scenes from a film require a distinct understanding of what has come before in the story. Scarface and his talk of cock-a-roaches and little friends lacks punch if you jump straight into it. Having said that, I think I could sell anybody on Babe with this scene:

This one. Or another one from the same film.
I LOVE Harold and Maude. LOVE IT.

Citizen Kane SUCKED!!!!!!! True fact.
Alcoholism is the cure not the disease.
FUCK YEAH OLDBOY.
I've been meaning to watch that for years. I still haven't seen it though.
You make music...That's the cosmic dance! 
I love it so.
I had to update the video because the one I posted was deleted.
Pete, rent it, watch it!
Here's one from another favorite:
“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
Clue - such well written dialogue and improv in this film.
A slightly atypical scene, but just enough badassery to sell my all-time favourite film, Miller's Crossing by Joel and Ethan Coen :
"The rat inside your brain rules the world."

GREAT SCENE! i wondered if it would be that one when i started it. and just in case you might like to read a Coen too, Ethan writes short stories and even has a book of poetry. he just won a Pushcart thingy last year(?); i enjoyed it. the biography i read about the Coens said they like Dashiell Hammett (Maltese Falcon), so i read him too.
PS
i loved Barton Fink.
John Goodman was wonderful.
Iron Giant <3

that was absolutely incredible. the cigar dude was so badass. the whole time i thought he was gonna get shot to shit, but then he shot that guy in the leg, and then in the head. that was brutal. loved it.
sold.
i'm going to find it next time i'm at the video store.

I read Gates of Eden when it came out, I found it very Coenesque (which is a good thing). Should read it again.
About the Coens and Hammett : Miller's Crossing is an unofficial ripoff from a couple of Hammett's stories (in particular The Glass Key). Character names and entire lines are lifted from his books.
did you know it was an adaptation of this book by Ted Hughes (Sylvia Plath's cheatin' husband)???!!
there is also:
i REALLY want to see COVEN. i wonder if anyone here has had the pleasure.
Did you ALSO know that it was adapted into a stage musical, and that Pete Townshend developed a concept video for a stop-motion film version? Then Warner picked it up and gave it to Brad Bird who'd go on to direct the animated film and then conquer the world with Pixar, which is why Iron Giant is the most underappreciated animated film in American cinema.
The robot design and even the kid playing Hogarth still kind of made it into the film.
A stage version was mounted at the Young Vic theatre in London in 1993. On the strength of this, Warners optioned the story for a movie which, with a very different adaptation of the story, became The Iron Giant; Townshend received an Executive Producer credit.
i had no idea!
i can see how this version does follow Hughes' book version much closer. very nice.
I DID know it is based on a book. I did not know it is by Ted Hughes. And I did not know all those other interesting things about animated film politics.
I will definitely read the book at some point.
Mine is obiesly still the best.
