Films have always been a huge part of our lives. Whether you watch romantic comedies, thrillers, horror movies or any other type of films, there is always a thrill. Movies can make us laugh, cry, feel the characters’ pain and experience many more emotions. If you keep on reading you will see what the 5 of the best moments ever captured on film are.

1. American Gangster: The Headshot – American Gangster is a movie based on a true story about Frank Lucas, who once was a drug dealer. There was a time in Lucas’s life when he made a million in a day from selling drugs. Denzel Washington is the actor who portrays Frank Lucas in the movie. The whole scene with the headshots is when Frank is having breakfast with his relatives in a diner and talking to them about life. He spots a man who owes him money and he says to his relatives: "See, you are what you are in this world, that’s either one of two things: Either you're somebody ... or you’re nobody. I'll be right back". Then he goes out, confronts the man who owes him money and when he refuses to give it to Frank, he points a gun to his head in the middle of the crowded street. Then the man who owes him money asks him cockily if he is going to shoot him in front of everybody and then tells him to do it. At that moment nobody expects Frank to shoot his gun but he does. According to me this is what makes a movie great – to see something unexpected.

2. The Matrix: Freezing Time – Without a doubt, one of the best moments on film is when Neo from the Matrix evades all the bullets. At this point, time really slows down and the camera circles around Neo. This left many people wondering how it is possible to make a scene like that. Thanks to that advanced movie effect, there are more scenes when time slows down and the camera moves around the characters in the film.

3. The Seven Year Itch: Breeze from the subway – We all know that one. It is the scene where Marilyn Monroe stands on top of a vent. The breeze from the subway is blowing her dress up and she is trying to hold it. This is one of the most classical scenes in movie history. Marilyn Monroe’s real life-husband was actually enraged because of that scene but it stayed in people’s minds forever.

4. Titanic: Sinking of the ship – Titanic is a great movie which is more than 3 hours long. The movie costs about $200 millions dollars and is still one of the best. The sinking of the ship is one of the best scenes in the movie and it is also one of the most memorable ones. Along with the disaster of the sinking ship you can also see some scenes of human tragedy. This movie is not all about high technology and great video effects but also about human drama and one really huge tragedy.

5. Scarface: The shooting – Although there was not only one shooting in Scarface, there is one that is most memorable – the shooting at the end of the movie. I am talking about the scene when Tony Montana gets attacked in his own mansion and defends himself alone. During the scene he kills a lot of men, gets shot multiple times but still manages to stand on his feet and shoot back. For a moment, the viewer might think that Tony will survive but he gets shot in the back and dies. This is a scene that will stay in movie history forever and is played extremely well by Al Pachino.

These are the top 5 greatest moments on film ever. You can watch all of these 5 movies and you will not regret it since they contain more than only 1 great scene each.
