 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?

 Re: Best Sequences From Best Picture Winners
Unforgiven - final shoot-out Platoon - Willem Dafoe's death (d'uh!) Casablanca - the ending Return of the King - Battle of the Pelennor Fields Braveheart - FREEEEEEEEDOOOOM!!! One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Murphy's death In the Heat of the Night - THEY CALL ME MISTER TIBBS! On the Waterfront - the ending All Quiet on the Western Front - the soliders being shot by the rattling machine gun
While I liked A Beautiful Mind...I actually can't think of a single real stand-out scene.

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?
