[Trivia note: that isn't Vasquez's hands firing the Smith & Wesson 39 into the alien at close range. The actor (Jenette Goldstein) did not actually have a lot of firearms proficiency, so it was the film producer's hands shown in the close-up shot.]

This scene had the same effect on me as a kid watching it for the first time. To be honest, I still get choked up watching it to this day.
Bruce Dern has to be the most despicable Western villain of all time! Who else has done anything as bad as shoot John Wayne in the back and hang Clint Eastwood?!

Any Beast Wars fans? Dinobot takes on the whole Predacon squad and saved the human race in Code of Hero.

Absolutely.
Nuke-u-lar combat, toe to toe with the Rooskies.

A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone. The American Revolution was carried out by a group of gun toting religious zealots.

From the series, "The Pacific", Sgt John Basilone. Seems he just couldn't get enough combat, and was killed at Iwo Jima. He was bound and determined to lead young Marines in the battle, it seemed he knew he would die there. Man that's a great series.

I mentioned it before, but it should have been my number 1 pick. Figured I'd link the scene...
Also, Danilov's sacrifice in Enemy At the Gates...

Dude that's a hell of a good pull. Underrated movie in my opinion, Dafoe is excellent in it as he is in all roles I've seen him play. Do it Sandy, I'd do it for you. Its always dusty as hell in my house when that scene plays.

Not really a "favorite," but - the ending of Von Ryan's Express.
