Your favorite scene?

I have a few but the one I like best is when the kids are interrogating the Russian and Lea Thompson's character smacks him around to get him to talk.

I liked it because seeing a small, delicate girl behaving in a desperate almost barbaric manner was shocking and unusual, at the time. It was also wholly believable.

Mostly, I liked it because it was turning point in the movie where the kids went from being scared innocents into full-on freedom fighters.

I would say my favorite scene is the brothers finale. It's so sad, they both died on the bench at the park where they used to play. Although, the scene needed to hold a few more seconds.

It's always been the opening scene... It sets the tone for the entire movie.
