Outstanding movie scenes (possible spoilers)

This came up on my feed this morning and got me to thinking... Best movie scenes ever?

https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/top-10-outstanding-single-movie-scenes-ever-filmed-ranked/ss-AA1fiCTm?ocid=hpmsn&pc=U483&cvid=7f149ce5c3e44f769628a03c6c881073&ei=61#image=11

I often notice that comedies are glaringly omitted in stuff like this. So...



"Springtime for Hitler" from "The Producers."

Dustin Hoffman revealing that Dorothy Michaels is a man from "Tootsie."

i was thinking of the scene with wallach, on the gallows, noose around his neck and the sheriff reading the list of crimes that led him there as a possible metaphor for the "ugly" ex president's situation. ......

Matilda - children throwing food at the principal as she tries to run past them.




Thunderheart - when 1/4 Lakota FBI agent Ray Levois (Val Kilmer) announces, "This land is not for sale."




The first Pink Panther movie - near the end when party guests in animal costumes drive around the center of the village talking to each other while an old man watches. Just when it looks calm enough for the old man to cross the road, a zebra comes "galloping" by. Absolutely the funniest movie scene I have ever watched.

especially when Hanks arrives in the locker room for the first time and urinates for about 5 minutes.

"It's supposed to be hard. If it was easy everyone would do it. The hard, is what makes it great." Hillary Clinton has quoted that line many times.
