Bad movie, GREAT scene

You know it's happened - a movie starts off great before plummeting for the next hour forty-five. Or you keep watching a terrible movie but it's salvaged - slightly - by a wonderful scene in the middle.

For me, a horrible movie with a great scene was The Pallbearer, starring David Schwimmer, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Barbara Hershey. Schwimmer's character got railroaded into eulogizing someone he didn't even know, and watching him stammer trying to be eloquent for a stranger was really funny. The rest of the movie was fecal.

Do you know any movies like this?

Every movie has at least one redeeming scene, or at the very least a redeeming line.

For instance in Joe Dirt when David Spade's character is in the rising hot air ballon and yells down to the chick on the ground "I can see down your shirt!"

The opening scene of Scanners when the guy's head explodes. Best scene, in otherwise bad movie.

The Avengers. The second-worst movie I've ever seen (next to Batman & Robin), but the fact that (a) someone thought to put Sean Connery in a giant teddy bear costume, and (b) they were actually able to get him to wear the damn thing...

...let me repeat that...

Somehow, someone was able to convince SEAN CONNERY to put on a GIANT TEDDY BEAR SUIT.

That is quality cinema.

I have to disagree...the best scene in Howard the Duck is when he's falling through that building, floor after floor after floor, and he falls through one where this duck lady is taking a bath...and we see DUCK BOOBS!!!
