Re: Best Sequences From Best Picture Winners Hmm, I need to rewatch Chicago. I remmeber there was a great sequence I liked, but it was not Cell Block Tango.
No Country for Old Men - Chigurh attacking Llewelyn (sp?) in the motel
The Departed - Billy's and Frank's "rat"-sequence

Re: Best Sequences From Best Picture Winners I'm having a hard time with films like Forrest Gump and Gladiator. It all kinda runs together.
I guess the first Gladiatorial battle?
As for Forrest Gump, the "run forrest run" bit is the most memorable but I don't think its the best in the film. I like the montage of his travels that he tells Jenny.

Re: Best Sequences From Best Picture Winners The sex, the market and the sand storm scenes in The English Patient stand out to me.
Annie and Alvy's first meeting in Annie Hall. The lobster scene.
Any scene from Casablanca.
What else?

While I liked A Beautiful Mind...I actually can't think of a single real stand-out scene. I think the best scene in that movie actually belongs to Jennifer Connelly ("I need to know that something extraordinary is possible", etc.) Also, can we count "the Titanic sinks" as a sequence?
