Many great movies have certain scenes where finally you sortof just KNOW that this is a great movie. Before it comes you enjoy it, but not much more than that. Personal examples would be just when you see the first T-Rex escape in Jurassic Park or in 2001 - A Space Odyssey, right at the moment when the astronauts are about to take a picture at the digsite on the moon when the loud beep-sound is heard. Moments like that makes your hairs stand on end.
In Waterworld, that moment must be after these words were uttered: "You wanna see Dryland? Ill show you Dryland" and then they descend to what the audience believe is just the bottom of the ocean, but as the Mariner and Helen goes deeper and deeper you realize that its actually a HUGE freaking city submerged in water. That scene is what made this film a masterpiece to me, even though one of the final scenes where the Mariner discovers that he is not made for land is a serious contender.
So, what is your "cementing scene" in this movie? If you have one that is.

I think the badass scene where Enola is telling the Smoker how badass the Mariner is. Intro cut scenes with Mariner killing people trying to get to her on the ship. That was pretty awesome.

I like the underwater city bit, but the end when they uncover the plaque on dry land and it turns out to be Everest does it for me!
You are entitled to my opinion, whether you want it or not!!

Yet you found youreself posting your negativity on this board YEARS after the film first hit. Maybe your purpose in life might need to be looked at!

It isn't great. In fact it's rather lousy.
I could care less, but I dont care enough to bother.

I loved it when Helen singlehandedly wrecked the trimaran or however it's spelled and Enola smarts off at Kevin and he cuts off their hair. Then they sit there and he starts to climb up a ladder and asks if they said something and they both mumble no. Lots of gems in this movie.

I second this!
Dennis Hopper is always a scene stealer.

When the flare hits the oil and the old man says, "oh, thank God". Had me rolling for a solid minute.

Any scene with Dennis Hopper is pure gold. He had hilarious dialogue in this movie.

Already the first scene with the Mariner taking back the stolen lemon shrub from the other sailor, while both were hunted by Smokers.

Yep. That's when I was hooked. The scene with the reveal that the dirt came from
the underwater city was awesome the first time I saw it because I didn't expect it.
And of course any Dennis Hopper scene was good.
