Oh wait, thought of a couple more -
“Fixed the newel post.”
Untouchables get picked but Battleship Potemkin doesn’t? Really?

The Blues Brothers - going up to see the Penguin.
Arsenic and Old Lace - Teddy Roosevelt charging up San Juan hill.
Gremlins
Out of Sight:
Clemenza huffing and puffing up the stairs and Barzini meetng his end on the building steps, both within the Godfather’s iconic baptism scene:

Unless you’re an inverterate Palinsexual, Barbara Stanwyck passes for sexy anywhere, anytime.
As someone going on a massive film noir bender right now, I can vouch for that.
