Most Memorable Movie Scenes of 2007

Here are some of what I consider as the most memorable movie scenes of 2007 in no particular order:

Frank Lucas taking care of business while his brothers watch from the restaurant in “American Gangster”.

3) Olive Dance routine and the family chumming in
4) The breaking of the vow of silence
5) The first family breakfast with Olive quizzing her gay suicidal uncle, foul talking grandpa, high achieving loser dad, and nihilist Dwayne
