AV Club breaks down the best film scenes of the decade

For the past month, the AVCLUB has been listing the best music, movies, books (and the genres within) of the 00's. While all of the lists have been wonderful, they've recently released the best of the bunch; the best film scenes of the decade.

Some of the picks are obvious, (the first 5 minutes of UP, the last 5 minutes of Before Sunset, and the long take fight scene from OldBoy.) But like all great lists, the staff reminds us of some great scenes that have gotten forgotten, or never gotten their due to begin with... a small sampling;

The 'cafe scene' from You Can Count on Me

Some other forgotten 'gems'...

The Business Card Scene from American Psycho

The 'Pen' scene from Memento

And possibly the most underrated scene in recent cinema...
