Greatest Movie Scene of All Time - Nominations Thread

[Heather19]

Is there still time to submit? If so I'll submit The Leaning scene from Night of the Hunter. I know it's probably going to get zero votes but it's one of my personal favorites.

It's okay, you are still in time.

Do you have a video clip to go with your nomination?

This one

Nomination #5

The Night of the Hunter - Leaning Scene
Director: Charles Laughton
Year: 1955

Spoiler:

I really fear this might be a wasted nomination, but it is one of my all-time favorite scenes. It's stuck with me since the moment I first saw it. It is superbly executed. I love the creative use of lighting, and how creepy it makes the scene. And just a little backstory for those that have not seen the film is that Robert Mitchum (who we see singing outside the house) has been pursuing these two young children who are hiding out in the house.
