Brokeback Mountain (2005)

The poignant love story between two married bi-sexual Wyoming cowboys Ennis Del Mar (Best Actor-nominated Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Best Supporting Actor-nominated Jake Gyllenhaal), including their first meeting as an innocently exuberant skinny-dip into a pond; their initial confusion about their attraction over a campfire, Jack's awkward declaration of his true love for Ennis ("Tell you what. The truth is... sometimes I miss you so much I can hardly stand it"); Ennis' chilling story about the cruel murder of a suspected gay cowboy; their eventually strained marriages -- Ennis to fragile, waifish Alma (Best Supporting Actress-nominated Michelle Williams) and Jack to tomboyish rodeo queen Lureen Newsome (Anne Hathaway); Jack's final frustrated ultimatum speech to Jack ("Tell you what, we coulda had a good life together! F--kin' real good life! Had us a place of our own. But you didn't want it, Ennis! So what we got now is Brokeback Mountain!......I wish I knew how to quit you!"); much later in the film during their reunion four years later, the two hug each other tightly -- Ennis, nervously looking around, then forcefully grabs Jack and pushes him into a secluded spot by stairs where they kiss hungrily - while Ennis' wife Alma accidentally spies on their embracing passion from above and turns away; and the emotional, tear-jerking finale decades later in which Ennis finds two old shirts (belonging to him and the now-deceased Jack) hanging together in the back of a closet, and Ennis' tearful: "Jack, I swear...", in Best Director-winning Ang Lee's landmark love story and favored 2005 Best Picture nominee

The Browning Version (1951, UK)

The scene of an unexpected gift received from a student named Taplow (Brian Smith) - a second-hand book of Robert Browning's translation of Agamemnon (hence the film's title) - to under-appreciated, chilly, veteran Greek classics schoolmaster Andrew "Crock" Crocker-Harris (Michael Redgrave) - his favorite play; followed by his cheating and embittered wife Millie's (Jean Kent) attempt to downplay the goodwill gift as bribery; and the scene of Crock's apologetic farewell epiphany speech to a British boarding school audience - a confessional ultimately speaking from his anguished heart, in director Anthony Asquith's drama - an adaptation of Terrence Rattigan's one-act play

Bugsy (1991)

The scene in which psychopathic, larger-than-life, East Coast 40s Jewish gangster Benjamin 'Bugsy' Siegel (Oscar-nominated Warren Beatty) first meets sassy, slinky, and leggy B-movie starlet Virginia "Flamingo" Hill (Annette Bening, who engaged in an off-screen romance with Beatty, leading to their real-life marriage in 1992) before an artificial backdrop on the set of a Hollywood film when he lights her cigarette and they verbally joust together: (Virginia: "The way you were staring at me, I thought you were gonna ask me for something a little more exciting" Bugsy: "Like what?" Virginia: "Use your imagination" Bugsy: "I'm using it" Virginia: "Let me know when you're finished") -- when she turns away to leave, she urges him: "Why don't you run outside and jerk yourself a soda?"; also the scene in which they first kiss - silhouetted in the light behind the screen of his projected screen-acting test when she tells him: "Do you always talk this much before you do it?"; also the brutal scene during a dinner date with Virginia in which Siegel humiliates cheating crime associate Jack Dragna (Richard Sarafian) for skimming funds ("Did you think you could steal from ME?"), and sadistically makes him crawl on the floor and bark like a dog ("Now bark like the dog that you wish that you were decent enough to be") and then squeal like a pig ("Now let me hear you oink like the treacherous, devious pig that you are") - followed by Siegel's gluttonous food binge at the dinner table - and loving attention and passionate kisses all over his face by his sexually-charged moll; also the scene of the visionary and grandiose Bugsy having a "religious epiphany" in the desert about building a casino ("the single best idea I ever had"); the memorable scene in which adulterous family man Bugsy (in a ridiculous chef's hat) is in his East Coast home hosting three different groups: his wife Esta (Wendy Phillips) and two children celebrating daughter Millicent's (Stefanie Mason) birthday, his trusted foul-mouthed associate Mickey Cohen (Harvey Keitel) on the phone as he jealously seeks to know mistress Virginia's whereabouts in California, and with his New York gangster associates being convinced to provide $1 million in funding for his flamboyant dream to build a casino in the Nevada desert; the striking scene in a restaurant's women's room of Bugsy avoiding admitting that he wants a divorce from his stunned wife Esta ("You want a divorce, don't you?"); and the final scene of his multiple-gunshot murder by a sniper/hitman outside of his Beverly Hills home while he is reading an LA Times newspaper, in Barry Levinson's complex gangster biopic

Uh, just a harmless squirrel, not a plastic explosive or anything, nothing to be worried about") - to the tune of Kenny Loggins' song "I'm Alright"; and the boorish, nouveau-riche wisecracking loudmouth Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield in his feature film debut): ("This is the worst lookin' hat I ever saw.....oh, it looks good on you though!", or "Hey, you wanna make $14 dollars the hard way?"); also the scene of the performance of a Busby Berkeley-style water ballet by golf caddies in the pool - and the scatological moment that a floating candy bar sends swimmers screaming from the water in a Jaws-inspired panic - and the shock and fainting caused when a pool cleaner eats the brown object, in Harold Ramis' much-loved golf comedy
