Gosh! You mean I have to pick just one? Gee, this is gonna be tough...I have so many! Well, I'd have to say that one of my very favorites is in Henry V, when Ancient Pistol is talking with King Henry in the encampment. Bob's mannerisms and voice (he uses many different pitches)are so incredibly awesome in this scene! Pistol is such a rogue, but you can't take your eyes off him.
Henry (Olivier) is off camera, leaving Bob the opportunity to totally steal the scene. Oh, he was so good at that!
The Boar's Head Inn sequence in the Globe Theater (earlier in the film) is my second favorite.

Oh, gosh, I have so many, I wouldn't know where to start! I mean, just about every scene he's in from "Treasure Island," just for starters! Every scene he's in from "Major Barbara." The river-crossing scene in "Soldiers Three." The marriage-proposal scene in "Wings and the Woman." His entrance in "Oliver Twist" ... Just name a movie, and I probably have at least one favorite scene in it.
