EW's 100 Greatest Moments in Movies100 Greatest MomentsOver the years, popular magazines and newspapers have also compiled their own selections of greatest movie moments, almost all of which were already included in this site's selections and listings.

Entertainment Weekly compiled its own list of the 100 Greatest Moments in Movies (1950-2000) in its September 24, 1999 issue. To limit the sprawling subject, the editors decided to save pre-'50s movies for another tribute, and foreign films and documentaries received only brief recognition. Their list started halfway through the history of film.

Guardian Unlimited's 100 Film MomentsThe Observer, the Sunday version of the British newspaper the Guardian Unlimited, published (in its February 6, 2000 edition) votes taken in late 1999 and early 2000 for "the 100 most memorable moments in film history." In more than 15,000 votes taken during the polling, 2,500 different moments received at least one vote. The #1 moment was from The Usual Suspects (1995) when detective Kujan realized who Keyser Soze was. The films in the #2 to #5 positions included: the shower scene from Psycho (1960), Harry Lime's appearance from the dark shadows in The Third Man (1949), the jump cut from the flying bone to the spaceship in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and the dawn helicopter raid in Apocalypse Now (1979). The full list with scene analysis may be accessed online.
TV Guide's 50 Greatest Movie MomentsTV Guide Magazine compiled its own list of the 50 Greatest Movie Moments of All Time in its March 24-30, 2001 issue - comprising fifty of the great moments of all time in film.

Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Movie MomentsPremiere Magazine compiled a list of 100 Greatest Movie Moments of All Time from 100 years of movies, in its March, 2003 issue. Their list of memorable movie moments was compiled from "multiple reader suggestions, multiple staff meetings, multiple debates among movie-loving friends, multiple long nights replaying multiple moments mentally and on DVD." Included in their list was Charlton Heston's sight of the Statue of Liberty on the beach in Planet of the Apes (1968), Jack Nicholson's retort to a waitress to "Hold it between your knees" in Five Easy Pieces (1970), and Marilyn Monroe's white skirt blown up by wind from a subway grating in The Seven Year Itch (1955).
