I’d say the Terminator Tech Noir scene
Robocop steel mill scene
Gangs of New York ending scene

Best 5 minute cinematic sequence ever?
- Thread starter OG Goat Holder
- Start date
The continuous shot in season 1 True Detective where Matthew Mcconaughey was going through the crack house was a thing of beauty.
Heat robbery, I had never seen or heard anything like that before.
The “hello, my name is inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die” scene from princess bride
the opening scene of inglorious bastards
andy dufrane disappearing from his cell and the montage of how he did it in shawshank
any 5 minutes of heath ledger as the joker
neo leaving the matrix (you can’t experience it for the first time again, but my mind was blown)
A few possibilities (no idea if they are 5 minutes)...
Star Wars - Rebel attack on the Death Star
Saving Private Ryan - Normandy beach landing
The Revenant - Bear attack
Goodfellas - The long take when Henry and Karen enter the Copa for the first time (Scorsese showing absolute technical mastery)

Basement scene in Iinglourious basterds
Quint retelling of the sinking of the Indianapolis in Jaws
Mel Gibson/Gary Bussey fight scene in Lethal Weapon

Sitting in the theater as a kid watching raiders of the lost ark was amazing. I guess I’d pick the first 5 minutes, but I would give anything to feel that kind of amazement at a movie again
I think the most powerful scene that gets little credit …Apocalypco…The main native character runs onto the beach…as he’s being chased by another native warrior ….only to run into the Spanish Armada.
Needs to be a full on bad *** movie portrayal of this moment in time

Don't know the distance but the freehanded muzzleloader shot killing the guy getting burned to death would have been a hell of a shot. Similar to Brody shooting the tank in Jaws' mouth off a bobbing/sinking boat with an M1 Garand he'd never fired before (I think the capacity is 8 rounds, so he was probably down to his last few chances).
Open Range the final Battle,
Hook up your Bose Sound system to this.
One more, the German General addressing his troops in Band of Brothers.

Yeah that’s stretching it on using those guns to do that to say the least but the rest of sequence that basically requires no dialogue is incredible.
The last 30 minutes of Gangs of New York is insane.
Pacino revealing his plan to Keanu Reeves in The Devils Advocate. My favorite for obvious reasons.
Only steers and ****** come from Texas, private cowboy, and you don’t look much like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down.
The “terminate with extreme prejudice” scene in Apocalypse Now. Just guys sitting around talking but the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. The Ezekiel 25:17 apartment scene in Pulp Fiction where Samuel L. Jackson showed what a badass he is.
Lots of good ones in this thread. But I would like to add the apes part of 2001.
greenbean beat me to Quint's and the Tarantino basement scene.
Not yet mentioned, are a couple of Woody Harrelson moments.
1. No Country For Old Men, his final exchange in the hotel room chair with Javier Barden.
2. His soliloquy in The Highway Men toward the end of the move about the Mexican massacre.
Saving Private Ryan- Private Wade's reminiscing about mom in the church was powerful.
But the Most powerful moment ever:
Lloyd Christmas' speech about being tired of being a nobody

The virus outbreak scene in Philadelphia in World War Z.
Good call on this one. Damn, those dudes were sitting ducks…. Watching the bullets dart under water was something I’d never really thought of, but wow.
The first arrivals were on a suicide mission, for the most part. It was horrifying to watch.
And there's this scene from Bullet Train. Hard to pick one from Bullet Train as there are so many.

The shootout at the end of The Professional
The leadup to the failed battle in Paths of Glory
The Ferris wheel scene in The Third Man (sorry for swiping it, Maroon)
The opening space waltz in 2001 (ETA, hell, any of the flight sequences)
Glengarry Glen Ross monologue
And the last 10 or so minutes of The Usual Suspects, which I won't embed just in case.

I did not think any Batman movie would ever compare to the Dark Knight Trilogy, but this one was surprisingly very good
Two great one-shot scenes:
The Revenant when the trapping camp is attacked by an Arikara war party.
The opening scene of Spectre.

No worries, Prediction? Pain.

Well, for some of us, that scene is unfortunately much shorter than 5 minutes.No worries, Prediction? Pain.

A lot of my nominees have been spoken for, but here’s an under appreciated one, if only for the score.
