After a bit of prompting from Jenny, he begins an awkward run away from the boys, but his restrictive leg braces don’t help him make quite the quick getaway as he might have liked.

There is truly so much to love about this iconic movie scene. First, there is the tyrannosaurus rex itself, which IMDB reveals was an animatronic created specifically for the film. Its movements are so life-like, its roar so powerful, that audiences can truly believe they are witnessing a scene featuring a real-life dinosaur. There’s also something to be said about how this scene was filmed. It’s an extremely tense scene, wherein the characters find themselves suddenly in the company of a ferocious T-Rex.

And then finally, we get to see this incredible dinosaur in all its thrilling glory!

For the better part of the film, the girl Baby and the man Johnny have been practicing a dance number together, and time and time again it’s the lift sequence that has proven to be the most difficult part for both of them. Baby, an amateur dancer, just couldn’t seem to get comfortable enough to complete the move.

So, the two partake in the competition, giving us a tremendous scene in which we see the otherwise stoic Vincent take off his shoes and bust some impressive moves with the equally impressive Mia.

At a glance, this scene appears to be depicting a couple enjoying sandwiches at a deli. However, there is so much more happening here than what meets the eye. First, some context. These two people are not actually a couple but are really good friends who continuously meet up in New York through a series of chance encounters. In this particular scene, the two are indeed eating sandwiches in a deli, but it is during this meal that the woman makes a rather big show of proving to her male companion that females are better actresses than men will ever realize.

This iconic movie scene is about as hilarious as they come. Who could ever forget the moment when the dazzling and elegant actress Cameron Diaz appeared on screen with possibly the most absurd looking hairstyle ever? In this scene from the movie, her character’s love interest appears at her door with something mysterious hanging from his earlobe, which she then assumes is hair gel. He can’t admit what it really is without making himself look foolish, so he confirms that it is hair gel and then must watch as she uses it to slick her hair straight up in a stiff ‘do. The best part? They then go out for drinks together with her sporting this daring new look.

Question 16

What movie is this iconic moment from?

It’s no secret that family road trips and vacations can get a little messy, especially if the family is as dysfunctional as this one. It also doesn’t help if the vehicle that is supposed to be taking them on this little family outing is tremendously unreliable. In this iconic movie scene, this family has experienced a big speed bump in their travels when their van refuses to shift gears. However, they learn that they can get the vehicle going if they push it first.

Question 17

What movie is this iconic moment from?

This coming-of-age movie has plenty of memorable moments, but we bet this is the one that people know it best for.

During all of this, she is also pining after the handsome senior, Jake, who she believes doesn’t even know she exists. Now she’s finally learned that he does know who she is and actually really likes her, which he proves by bringing her a birthday cake after everyone else forget it was her birthday. Swoon!

Question 18

What movie is this iconic moment from?

This iconic movie scene is a visually stunning sequence of gravity-defying and physics-defying movements. It all takes place inside another man’s subconscious, so anything goes, as long as the people who are inside the man’s mind are up for the task of becoming the ultimate architects. This means that they can take a room and manipulate it any way they please, even making it so that it turns around and around, like we see in this scene. Obviously, it’s the man who seems to be dealing with the rotations effortlessly who is the one making the hallway move in the first place. Otherwise we’d be pretty impressed with his ability to adapt to such strange circumstances.

Question 19

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, a group of male performers have just been discussing their ability to entertain people, and this character named Richie seems to have doubts that he still has what it takes to get the right reaction out of his audience. In order to show him he’s definitely still got it, his friends dare him to go inside a store and perform in front of the cashier to try and make her smile. Set to the sounds of The Backstreet Boys hit, “I Want It That Way,” Richie breaks out his best dance moves, successfully earning a smile and delighted giggle from the cashier. Mission accomplished.

Question 20

What movie is this iconic moment from?

There have been a lot of pretty memorable musical numbers in movies, but nothing can beat this iconic scene in which the two main two characters gleefully break out into an impromptu performance of a song aptly titled, “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” This catchy tune sees the pair dance together and also interact with a group of animated characters who happily join in on the dancing. All the while, the two continue to sing about this incredibly long and silly word which, as they say in the song, is the “biggest word” anyone’s ever heard. So naturally it deserves its own musical number.

Question 21

What movie is this iconic moment from?

True love always finds a way, and nowhere is that proved more than in this iconic movie scene. Meet Noah and Allie, two people who met and fell in love when they were younger but found themselves separated when her parents forcibly pulled them apart. Years later, the two suddenly find themselves back in each other’s lives, though things are a little different now – Allie is engaged and Noah is a hardened war veteran who finds little joy in life. All it takes is one beautiful afternoon on the lake together to remind these two why they fell in love in the first place so many years ago.

Question 22

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, a teenager named Bender has just spent an entire Saturday in detention with a group of students from all different social backgrounds. They’ve shared some laughs, had a few fights here and there, but they’ve all come away from the experience having learned something about themselves and about their classmates. For Bender, this Saturday has also brought him new love in the form of Claire, a girl who was in detention with him. After the two share a kiss outside, Bender walks through the football field and pumps one fist triumphantly in the air as the credits roll. Definitely iconic!

The pair face off over two wine goblets, one of which contains an undetectable poison. Vizzini believes he has outwitted Roberts into drinking the poisoned goblet, but Roberts reveals both drinks contained the poison, which he is immune to. Thus, he defeats Vizinni. Inconceivable!

Question 24

What movie is this iconic moment from?

There’s nothing like a delicious chocolate pie, although perhaps we should all steer clear from Minny Jackson’s baking for a while. In this iconic scene, Minny takes a homemade pie to her former employee, Hilly Holbrook, and insists it’s an apology dessert for her actions which led to her being fired. After watching Hilly enjoy not one but two slices of the pie, the satisfied Minny informs her that there was a special ingredient in that filling, which was her way of getting back at Hilly for firing her in the first place. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Cold chocolate pie, that is.

Question 25

What movie is this iconic moment from?

The fashion world can be pretty confusing to understand, particularly if someone is blissfully unfashionable in every way possible. Enter: Andy, a journalist who lands a job working as a receptionist at a prestigious magazine where she is also the assistant to the editor, Miranda Priestly. In this scene, Andy is taking notes during a meeting with Miranda and her designers when she laughs watching Miranda and a designer compare two seemingly identical belts. Miranda then essentially lets Andy know exactly what she thinks about her and her sense of fashion and lets her know that perhaps the belts look the same to her, but to someone with taste, they are quite different. Ouch!

Question 26

What movie is this iconic moment from?

No one throws a party quite like Jay! In this iconic movie scene, the mysterious and incredibly rich Jay has thrown a lavish bash at his waterfront mansion, complete with dancers, fireworks, and of course, lots and lots of champagne. His guests include his new neighbor, Nick, who attends the party and is stunned by both its elaborateness and by the inexplicably mysterious nature of its host.

Question 27

In this iconic movie scene, two people discover that time travel is, in fact, a possibility! Doc Brown and his friend Marty McFly have met in an empty parking lot in the early hours of the morning to test a tricked out DeLorean car which Doc has explained is capable of traveling through time. Of course, Marty is pretty skeptical about all of this. That is, until Doc sets up the time machine and sends the car speeding down the lot and disappearing into thin air, leaving one flaming tire tracks in its wake. Even Doc himself looks a little surprised to find that his invention actually works!

Question 28

What movie is this iconic moment from?

Shake it up baby! This iconic scene takes place during a parade that suddenly becomes a fantastic musical sequence after one teenager takes over a float and its sound system. He surprises the audience of spectators, and especially his two onlooking friends, when he suddenly appears on top of the float and begins lip syncing along to the Beatle’s hit, “Twist and Shout.” The show is enough to effectively stop the parade altogether as pedestrians, people in the audience, and workers in neighboring buildings all join together to sing and dance along with the teenager as he puts on quite the tremendous performance.

Question 29

What movie is this iconic moment from?

Everyone remembers this iconic scene, even if they haven’t seen the movie it's from! Tom Hanks' character of Josh Baskin delights in discovering a working piano on the floor of a toy store.

It’s at this point that he and the store’s owner partake in a fantastic dance sequence wherein they play “Heart and Soul” on the keys, followed by a quick rendition of “Chopsticks.” Their performance earns them loud applause from a gathered audience who then enjoy stepping all over the fun piano keys themselves.

Question 30

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, the man outside the window has just gotten a beautiful girl’s telephone number written on a napkin. Normally, this just by itself would be pretty incredible. But the moment is made even sweeter after this character is able to rub it in the face of the man with the ponytail, since he spent all evening trying to impress the same woman to no avail. He also relentlessly teased the first man for not being “smart enough” to go to their ivy-league school. Now, armed with the girl’s number, the first man goes up to the window and asks the man if he likes apples, at which pint slaps the napkin against it and says, “I got her number. How do you like them apples?”

Question 31

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, a lavishly dressed woman named Holly Golightly enjoys a dessert and a coffee while gazing inside the display window of Tiffany’s in New York City. This moment appears at the very beginning of the film as the introductory credits are displayed on the screen. She doesn’t say anything, but rather simply eats her snack and stares longingly behind wide-rimmed black sunglasses at all the dazzling jewels on display inside the store. Then, once she’s finished eating, she moves along. It’s a simple scene but definitely iconic. Who could forget how she looked standing there, dressed to the nines, admiring the jewels she so badly wants while separated by a silly glass window?

Question 32

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, a group of women in a bridal party are trying on some rather expensive bridesmaids' dresses inside a lavish dress store. It’s a seemingly innocent scene on the surface, and not super exciting right away. That is, until all of the women except for one suddenly come down with a bad case of food poisoning, all while they’re wearing said expensive dresses. What follows is a tremendous scene in which otherwise classy, put-together women are reduced to ill messes as they fall prey to their food poisoning inside an all-white bridal store. The result is definitely hilarious, and maybe just a little gross.

Question 33

What movie is this iconic moment from?

This iconic scene is a hard one to forget. The image itself is iconic, if not the entire scene in which a house sprouts thousand and thousands of helium-filled balloons from its chimney that lift it up from its foundation and into the air. There’s no more spectacular of a sight to behold than witnessing an average home floating across the sky as if it were made of air, carried by a cloud of colorful balloons as an old man leans out the window and blows raspberries at the people down below. He’s finally living his dream and flying away from this place once and for all. Truly iconic!

Question 34

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic scene, a boy named Eliot has hidden his alien friend inside a blanket and stuck him in a milk crate strapped to the front of his bicycle. He and his brother’s friends are in a race against time, trying to evade a bunch of agents who are pursuing them to try and take the alien away for testing. Eliot and the other boys appear to be losing the race as the agents grow closer and closer. That is, until the alien uses its special powers to levitate the boys and their bicycles in the air, effectively flying over the top of the awaiting agents and letting them escape!

Question 35

What movie is this iconic moment from?

In this iconic movie scene, two people partake in a beautiful ballroom dance sequence together to the song, “Tale as Old as Time.” It’s a wonderful moment, complete with spectacular animation and the iconic lyrics of this timeless song.

There’s a definite moment of tenderness between these two that really sets the tone for the rest of the movie.
