Favourite Anger/Rage film scenes?


What's your favourite film/TV-series scene depicting someone being angry? I am interested in both more subtle well-played scenes as well as over-the-top rage moments.

Looking for such scenes I have made two notes:
a) the scenes tend to mix anger with other emotions like sadness and fear, so although I can find lots of pure sadness or fear scenes, anger seems to more often be combined with other emotions in popular films
b) the scenes tend to be pretty realistic and generic visually, like two people just screaming at each other, whereas a lot of fear, sadness, happiness scenes are visually very distinct, fanciful and imaginative (frequently metaphorical or symbolic).

Some of my favourite anger scenes so far:
Casino (1995): A mob wife driving up the house of the husband, cursing him, damaging his property, and declaring that she will talk to the FBI.

Chef (2014): The chef having a rant at a food critic in front of the other guests.

La Pianiste (2001): the daughter (a pianist teacher) having an argument and a fight with her over-protective mother.

Sopranos and Game of thrones had some good rage scenes but do not recall a specific one that did not also express fear or sadness.

The curb stomping in American History X should probably be mentioned.
