Best scene in the movie?


For me, hands down, the scene during the deposition of Wigand when Bruce McGill's character puts the Big tobacco lawyer guy in his place. Fantastic. Has to be one of my favorite moments in film ever.

So many great ones, but I keep coming back to this:

So many great scenes. I love the golf scene simply for its look and sound, absolutely chilling. But my favorite scene has the be moment in the hotel when Wigand reminisces about his two daughters while possibly contemplating suicide.

Raging Bull = Best movie

Many beautiful scenes in one of Mann's best movies, but the scenes i've found the most striking on the big screen were the incredible breakdown scene in Wigand's hotel room and the scene where he is walking along the sea/shore and doesn't know what to do of his possibly doomed choices!
The scene near the end when all the leads characters are watching on tv the uncut interview is also great, i love the bit where Wigand's little daughter is looking at him, it always brings tears to my eyes!
Great film, Mann is genius.
