Signature Scene



That one scene that everyone remembers from a movie or other media. When people think of the work, this is the one scene that they immediately think of, and may be the only reason to remember it at all. If the work is referenced in popular culture, it will reference this scene. Cover illustrations will often depict this scene. Any parodies will also center on this scene specifically.

There are many reasons that the scene may stand out. It may be...
 * The centerpiece of the trailer, causing it to enter the minds of people before they see the movie, or be all they know about it if they never see the movie.
 * A Wall Banger that derails the entire work.
 * A scene that is uncharacteristic and has nothing to do with the rest of the work.
 * A scene that is so unintentionally laughable it overshadows the rest of the work.
 * A scene that evoked major controversy.
 * A scene that became a part of popular culture, and then later nostalgia.
 * The major twist in the work.

No matter the reason, the Signature Scene is cemented in the minds of the general public. Your Mileage May Vary, as if you have actually seen the work yourself, there may be more scenes that you enjoy, or possibly stick out more in your mind than what people believe to be the Signature Scene.

Scenes which are little more than famous quotes should probably not be listed here. Those are examples of Signature Lines. Quotes do help keep a Signature Scene memorable, though.

Sports

 * Ask people in Chicago, and they'll tell you that the Cubs lost the 2003 NLCS because of Steve Bartman. Forget the fact that they couldn't get an out the rest of the inning, and then lost the next game. No, it all comes down to that one play.
 * Similar with Buckner in the 1986 World Series. The Red Sox had already blown a two run lead with two outs in the 10th inning. Buckner's error allowed the third (albeit winning) run to score. The Red Sox also blew a three run lead the next game to lose the Series. Ask most people why the Red Sox lost that series though, and they'll tell you about the Buckner play.

What is he remembered for? In the Game Seven of the 1960 World Series, he cracked a walk-off home run that won his team the game and the Series.

Theatre

 * Hamlet with the skull: "Alas, poor Yorick..."
 * Also, strangely, Hamlet with the skull: "To be or not to be..." - it's the signature Shakespeare moment, and it's just a mix-up of two different monologues in different acts.
