Various scenes from the first two Alien films were ones that sprung to mind. Inglorious Bastards is a a good choice.
"Funny guy" - The Goodfellas
Blood Test - The Thing

Inglorious Bastards is a a good choice. The opening scene is pretty good, too. Very much reminded of the first scene with Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Just that slow escalation into inevitable violence. |

The opening is as good, maybe even better. Both scenes struck me as overwritten and burdensomely long, which detracted from the tension. The Russian roulette scenes in The Deer Hunter, especially the first one, were agonizing. |

The opening is as good, maybe even better. Yeah, the first Russian roulette scene is tough to sit through. Just think back to when John Savage hears the gunshot and starts screaming. |

When I saw it in the theater in '78, audiences sat frozen as the triggers were slowly pulled. You could hear metal grinding. There were audible gasps when the hammer came down on an empty chamber. |

Deer Hunter is another excellent choice
Not sure if this is just plain painful to watch, as opposed to tense, but John Favreau's telephone call(s) to the girl he meets in a bar in Swingers.

Waiting for confirmation by melting phone that a bomb dropped on Moscow in FAIL SAFE
Jackal taking aim at Charles deGaulle in THE DAY OF THE JACKAL
Dog attack on the car in THE PACK
Richard Harris/David Hemmings bomb dismantling scenes in JUGGERNAUT
Pier "take my word for it, swim Charlie swim" attack in JAWS
The great thing about the "what's funny" scene in Good Fellas is that it is entirely two actors with no editing, music or editing. The intensity comes from their actions and reactions alone.

The lunch debate scene is pretty tense in my vision.
