For some reason right now I can only think of one that everyone has already seen from the most popular movie. Scenes from more obscure or lesser known films are welcome.

Perfect, NZer! I was holding back from spamming a whole bunch of examples. The Wachowski sisters used that technique a lot in their films.

This was a GREAT scene. Just two legends chopping it up knowing an inevitable clash is coming.
The Town is a better heist movie but Heat had this scene.

So the topic isn't about sub-genres, Erica. Also, there are more examples of the technique that Michael Mann used for

I liked this scene. Helen Hunt really has a way with words, doesn't she? Lol

Sliding Doors. The movie is based on a tipping point.
