Humor: Airplane 2, where the priest is reading 'Altar Boy' magazine, then turns it sideways like he's looking at a centerfold, it brings me to tears.

Scary: That dead girl in the closet in 'The Ring' really really gets to me, and before that it was the scene in 'Exorcist 3', where the killer walks out of the hospital room with the big shears JUST AFTER the nurse closes the door, and goes right up to her neck, followed by the view of the headless statue.

Cool: One camera shot in the opening sequence in Terminator 2 with the huge futuristic battle scene that had soldiers, vehicles, flying ships and lasers galore, very well done(Cameron should do more scifi). Followed by the Magneto escape scene in X-men 2 where he trashes the plastic cell. Come on, that was just downright cool.

I know everyone else is going to list things from films like Godfather or Citizen Kane, but we have to give recognition to the fun movies too! Actually there are so many good scenes, one could sit all day working on a list, not mention the dozens you could get from Kubrick alone(like Wendy reading all the 'all work and no play' sheets with the creepy music and Jack sneaking up on her).
