A tremendous scene. And possibly the only worthwhile scene in that movie.

*SPOILER*

The entire sequence from when Clarice first steps foot inside Buffalo Bill's house to when she finally takes him out in Silence of the Lambs.

Seriously intense stuff

I’m not sure if I can call it perfect but I love the restaurant scene from Sherlock Holmes with Sherlock reading Mary Watson.

It feels accurate to the Sherlock character and it has some sense of humor in it.

Not necessarily perfect but I always liked the last scene in Taxi Driver. It left open a lot of questions.

I don't know about perfect, but the scene between Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment where Willis is asking Osment all these questions and Osment starts taking steps back because Willis is getting things wrong. I think that is a really well done, underrated scene in the film that never gets talked about.

It's a great scene. One of the best horror films of the decade.

I kept deleting my own post writing about "The Sixth Sense". But I had to delete it over and over again.

My own personal favorite is Osment discovering the tape and delivering it to her father at the wake. The look on the wife/mother IS priceless.

It's an incredible scene and very memorable, but in terms of perfect, I actually think the scene I listed is more close to that in relation to the film as a whole and especially in relation to the twist. But you know, The Sixth Sense is such a good piece of cinema, I can't fault you for that at all.
