Best movie climax ever?

[the_jarhead]

Memento was good, that movie was confusing as hell till the end.
I liked the end of Primal Fear when Edward Norton stopped stuttering.

Not one Rocky Entry?

 

[Red Shadow]

Hmm.. I don't know if there is one that is the best, but these are some of my favorites.

Bladerunner when Roy Batty dies. He has this amazing monologue: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

Empire of the Sun: When Jim is standing on the roof of one of the buildings in the camp, and the American pilots arrive and start dropping the bombs, and he sees one of the pilots go by almost and slow motion and give him the thumbs up I LOVE that!

True Romance: The big shoot out scene.

Dead Man: The shootout between Johnny Depp and Lance Henrickson.

Aliens: When Ripley gets into the power suit and starts kicking some alien ass. "Get away from her you BITCH!" Hehe.

Black Hawk Down: Most of the movie was one big climax IMO So much kept happening! Go Delta Force!!

There are just too many movies to mention really

Luke Skywalker blowing up the Deathstar in Starwars. And the Titanic sinking.

YEAH THE LUKE SCENE WAS JUST COOL!

 

[Mengy]

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, when Spock dies. The last 30 minutes of that film was some of the best Star Trek ever.

 

[bigschweeler]

The Battle of Helms Deep, when Gandalph comes running down the mountain side with the reinforcements. And the walking trees are destroying Saroman's castle.

Great scene!! Good call.

I agree with most of the other choices: Scarface, Se7en, Usual Suspects, True Romance, Star Wars.

Also, I just saw Seabiscuit and there are all kinds of great climaxes in that one. When Seabiscuit beats War Admiral in the stakes race. The jockey slows him down and then says see you later to the other jockey and then tears it up. And then the end when Red wins the Santa Anita race.
