Memorable Shots

What's your most memorable scene from a movie? Do you remember what kind of shots the director used? High angle, extreme close-up, muted colors...the possiblities are endless.
You can post a photo of the scene, too. Maybe you'll get extra credit. :)

One of my favorite scenes is the one on the right from LA Story. They're standing on the side of the interstate and a traffic sign that normally says "Drive Carefully" changes just over the woman's head. The man (Steve Martin) is debating whether to kiss her. It's like the sign is giving him useful advice for once. I like the low angle & the fact that you can only see part of his head. It's a better shot than if it were just a close-up of her face.
