Just about any scene from "Breakfast at Tiffany's." I particularly like the scene where Holly gets the weather report in Sing Sing; when Holly and Paul pull the big heist in the 10-cents store; and when Holly sits in her window, plucks her guitar and sings "Moon River" (*sigh*).

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.
Pretty much all of it is hilarious. Every comedic bigshot of the era starred in it or popped in for a cameo.
Favorite scenes:
Jonathon Winters tearing up Ray and Irwin's garage.
Sylvester running Uncle Miltie and the Limey off the road then beating the crap out of them.
The big stupid grin on buddy Hackett's face while exchanging smiles with Spencer Tracy after they find the big W.
I could probably list a hundred scenes. The film is a true classic

I just wrote about the 1963 version of THE HAUNTING, and I will mention it here, too.
It's the dead of night. Julie Harris and Claire Bloom are bunking together because the house is so damned spooky. They are jerked out of sleep by a HUGE noise, so big and so near it seems the house is falling down around their ears. The banging gets closer still and stops at their door. The doorknob turns slowly, but whatever is out there can't get in. BANG! The awful noise begins again, louder and FURIOUS, with such a force the door begins to bend inward. It bulges and bulges, and the hammering, the BANGING just won't stop.....
No more, you've got to see it yourself.
