One of the best movies that I saw was Untouchables starring Kevin Costner. There is a particular scene inside a railway station where Costner and another cop would be waiting to nab Al Capone's bookkeeper. The bookkeeper is crucial for the prosecution's case against Capone. The bookkeeper with some musclemen are trying to make a getaway from Chicago by train.
The scene involves Costner and another cop waiting for Capone's team, a lady climbing laboriously up the stairs pushing a pram (with a baby in it). Costner is waiting at the head of the stairs. And then there is a shootout.
Though the scene involves some violence, I can't but help love the scene. The gentleness and the violence are intermingled in such a sweet way.
Here is the video of the scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTtj-VXxgbc Unfortunately the audio is not in English, perhaps in Czech, I couldn't locate an English version. (But it should be ok, since the scene is visual and there isn't much dialog in this scene.). Here is an English version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SXy8QcBT5Y
A quote from the movie:
"I grew up in a tough neighborhood. We used to say, "You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word"
