Best 5 minute cinematic sequence ever?

[Dawgg]

Final gunfight from Shane

 

[Xenomorph]

One of the best scenes from Michael Bay’s unrivaled masterpiece… Bad Boys II

---

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

I’d say the Terminator Tech Noir scene

Robocop steel mill scene

Gangs of New York ending scene

Braveheart-when Mel Gibson breaks bad for the first time
Gladiator-when Russell Crowe breaks bad for the first time
Patriot-when Mel Gibson breaks bad for the first time
Fury-when Brad Pitt breaks bad for the last time (plus the first tank engagement scene)

 

[Mobile Bay]

Oh one I forgot earlier

Obi Wan vs Darth Vader

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Prediction? Pain included the classic Prater scene for The Third Man.

I also like this scene for obvious reasons…

 

[She Mate Me]

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.

Yup, that scene alone should be exposed to every human on earth so when some ******** spewing politician starts talking about the glory of dying for their cause, we can all just shoot them instead.

Or at least break their nose.

 

[She Mate Me]

This one from Smokin' Aces is pretty action-packed.

Seriously underrated movie in terms of pure 17ing action.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

The <17> scene in The Wire

The Air Cav Beach landing in Apocalypse Now
Wagner Ride of The Valkeries and "Charlie don't surf" and "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning"

The river ambush scene in Tombstone

Rudy playing in the game for Notre Dame

Dick Shawn as Lorenzo Saint Dubois in The Producers (Any Scene)

 

[Podgy]

Some good ones on this thread. Add this:


and this:

 

[Podgy]

 

[Mayor of Little London]

This is it. There is not a close second.

…the only sequence that can even be mentioned in the same sentence would be the montage following Apollo’s death in Rocky IV.

 

[Podgy]

Zero Dark Thirty's interrogation scene is good. CIA black sites are wild.

That "I could have done more" scene in Schindler's List is pretty powerful

Men of Power clip in No Way Out, Hackman, Will Patton (brilliant) and Kostner

The Lives of Others cafeteria joke scene. You don't mess around in communist societies.

Amadeus, scene where Mozart insults and embarrases Solieri by playing his music better and improving it.

Tomorrow Belongs to Me scene in Cabaret capturing the appeal of Nazism

Jesus bowling scene in The Big Lebowski

 

[LordMcBuckethead]

Gifs that end too early.

 

[Son_of_34]

Opening monologue by Jack in The Departed

 

[Lettuce]

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

I found this

 

[Anon1664516582]

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)

If you have even been to Omaha Beach or really studied it…. That opening scene was NOTHING compared to it … yet you understood exactly how bad it was.

 

[Baddog11]

Bunch of good ones from 2001 space odyssey and Sopranos

 

[MaxwellSmart]

The boarder scene from Sicario is one of my favorites. Along with "time to meet God."

Quint's "Illinois" scene in Jaws was top notch.

 

[PooPopsBaldHead]

 

[HumpDawgy]

 

[She Mate Me]

Enter the Deathmobile...

 

[Cantdoitsal]

 

[GloryDawg]

When Tony suffocates Christopher to death after the car accident. I hated that character. He was a whining ***.

 

[Southern Law Dawg]

Technically it's 8 minutes, but this scene from Children of Men was done in ONE SHOT and is a full on war scene.

 

[tcdog70]

The Wild Bunch---the whole movie--but especially the shootout scene where they all die.. Sam Peckinpah

 

[Ranchdawg]

The first 5 minutes of The Matrix. It was mind blowing to see a person move around the room like that to eliminate Police Officers and the set up was perfect.

First 5 of The Matrix

 

[columbiadawg2]

At the time as a 12 year old, I didn't think this would ever be topped by anything in the history of cinema

 

[tcdog70]

classic--Used Cars------------------------------------

 

[msstatelp1]

The Wild Bunch---the whole movie--but especially the shootout scene where they all die.. Sam Peckinpah

Ernest Borgnine is under rated as a dramatic actor IMO and is in a lot of classics.

 

[mcdawg22]

Not 5 minutes but when the Creasy vengeance tour kicks off in Man On Fire, I cannot look away.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Rudy playing in the game for Notre Dame

Rudy was offsides.

 

[Darryl Steight]

I can't believe this hasn't come up yet, but the dual montage crossover of the Baptism and Michael 'settling his business' with his enemies, all the way through the door being closed on Kay at the end of The Godfather was at once shocking, scary, and so satisfying. Cinematic perfection.

 

[was21]

I’d say the Terminator Tech Noir scene

Robocop steel mill scene

Gangs of New York ending scene

McQueen car chase scene in Bullitt

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

I’d say the Terminator Tech Noir scene

Robocop steel mill scene

Gangs of New York ending scene

 

[BingleCocktail]

anything from

deadpool or deadpool 2

 

[thatsbaseball]

Open Range the final Battle,

Hook up your Bose Sound system to this.

You beat me to it

 

[paindonthurt]

Bullets don’t dart under water like that

 

[DogStuckAtUM]

Forgetting these two...

 

[Seinfeld]

I haven’t been able to read the whole thread, so sorry if it’s already been mentioned, but 28 Days Later is one that’s a little bit more obscure.

Anyone that’s seen it knows I’m talking about the crazy scene towards the end when an infected dude gets loose in the courtyard after having been chained up, and the following 4-5 minutes of rock-themed chaos is just badass cinema.

 

[ClintonInHelen]

I’d hit it…
