While Moriarty is indeed a classic villain, I have to say that his stature as Holmes' arch-enemy is more than somewhat inflated. I mean, he appeared in, what - two stories? - and yet somehow he's become this invincible mastermind that is the arch-fiend of the Great Detective. If you ask me, Basil of Baker Street and Rattigan are a better example - true, they're a copy, but they're a GOOD copy, and it's canon that they have indeed clashed multiple times. (And Vincent Price does SUCH a good job as Rattigan - definitely one of my favorite portrayals of a villain.)
That being said, this is indeed a good scene, and 'LoEG' Moriarty is quite a memorable villain.
