1. Obi-Wan's reaction to Luke saying his real name in A New Hope.
2. Anakin Skywalker saving his son in the original Return of the Jedi
3. Dr. Graham realizes he can't go back after saving Karen from choking in Field of Dreams and all the other players acknowledge him. Burt Lancaster's last role.
4. Grown-up Starlord's intro in Guardians of the Galaxy
5. China is here, Mr. Burton.

- Rogue One - Vader Hallway
- Field of Dreams - People will come, Ray
- Jurassic Park - First reveal of the Brachiosaurs
- Children of Men - Battle in the refugee camp
- The Dark Knight - Bank Robbery
There are plenty I could come up with if I sat and really thought about it, but those came to mind fairly quickly
Field of Dreams: "Hey Dad, How abut a catch?"
Great thread! Difficult to decide.
In no particular order:
1. Kung Fu Hustle, first fight scene. For the uninitiated, skip to about 1:00. The ruthless Axe Gang has moved in on a small town, but unbeknownst to everyone, there are three kung fu masters that live in the town.
2. Return of the Jedi - Luke finally defeating Vader, then resisting the call of the dark side. "I am a Jedi, like my father before me."
3. The Thing - interrogation scene (NSFW)
4. The Raid 2 - my favorite car chase (NSFW)
Can't decide a 5th right now.

This is a nearly impossible question to answer, and there are already a bunch of good ones already listed. Here are a few more that I think deserve consideration:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

I think my favorite scene has to be
1: AL Neri closes the door as Kay watches and realizes her husband has not only become the most powerful crime boss in the country, but that he probably had his brother in law murdered. That scene was just so well done and concluded the perfect film perfectly.
Other notable scenes for me in no particular order:
Heat : Bank shoot out
Dead Poets Society: Oh Captain, my Captain stand on desk
Godfather: Baptism
Empire: I am your father

1. Raiders - Truck chase scene (The music, the sequence...made me want to be Indy as a kid)
2. Jurassic Park - T-Rex breaks out (Was in awe of this scene as a kid seeing it in the theater for the first time)
3. Back To The Future - Lighting bolt at the clocktower (Most memorable musical score for me)
4. Gettysburg - Charge down Little Round Top (Love the music here, sets such an emotional tone)
5. Top Gun Maverick - Mav and Rooster getting to the F14 and taking off (Just so damn fun with the right amount of humor)

Alternately, I've never laughed harder then when Harry lit up Mary Swanson with the snowball at point-blank range.
I expected that from you.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

In Tombstone I prefer " I am your huckleberry "
the first 2 minutes of The Way of the Gun.
To Live and Die in L.A. - car chase. I watched it on my laptop and still thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest.
Boogie Nights - gunfight inside the drug dealer's house
Call Me by Your Name - Elio and his dad's heartfelt conversation following Oliver's departure.
Up in the Air - Ryan is shocked to discover Alex's well-kept secret.
No Country for Old Men - coin toss
Boogie Nights - gunfight inside the drug dealer's house

Inception- Ending Scene. Hans Zimmer's "Time" floors me everytime I hear it.
Knockaround Guys: Vin's fight scene
Greatest use of juxtaposition in the history of film
DDL's best performance
This is a really tough question to nail down but here's my attempt
Opening scene of Inglorious Basterds with Hans interrogating the farmer The last scene of Short Term 12 when they're talking about seeing Marcus at the coffee shop The part in Oldboy where Woo-jin reveals the details of his decades-long conspiracy When George Clooney finds Brad Pitt in the closet in Burn After Reading When Marianne is watching Heloise react to the orchestra at the end of Portrait of a Lady on Fire
OP did ask for our personal all time favorite scenes. I guess A Few Good Men just doesn't make the cut for some peoplewcb said:

Mine are quite obviously all mindless action which any time I even hear them I will stop and watch.
And given the sheer amount of times I have watched them - I figured that constituted my all time favorite movie scenes.
But yours is good too

A couple of great ones from No Country for Old Men.
This one is fantastic. Probably the better scene. Javier Bardem was a menacing villain.
Not as GOOD of a scene, but maybe my favorite. One of the most important, I think.

The thing about this scene is that when his wife gets to his side and reads Capt. Miller's name out loud, you can see she had no idea who he was. Ryan lived the rest of his life keeping all that to himself, presumably not sharing it with anyone.Quote:
3.) When John Miller (Hanks) tells Private Ryan (Matt Damon) to earn this, after being lethally shot…and then seeing Old Man Ryan crying at Miller's cross grave and telling his wife to tell him that he earned the life he got.
"Hands" down
Jurassic Park: T-Rex breaking out of the paddock
Two Towers: the siege of Helm's Deep
Black Hawk Down: Gordon and Shugart request to secure the 2nd crash site
Jaws: the U.S.S. Indianapolis monologue
Top Gun: Maverick: Mav's test run shows the mission is possible
Edit: Last of the Mohicans chase scene and fight probably replaces BHD, totally left this one off.

Picking 5 is tough with a lot of good ones already, but one that came to mind is in Patriot Games when Harrison Ford is looking in at his daughter after the wreck and silently rage-crying. No words spoken.
I read somewhere that they had some more elaborate scene planned, and he told them, "just zoom in on me."
Can't find a clip or gif online

There have been a lot of iconic scenes mentioned but these are my non-iconic ones in no particular order:
Dominic and Siobhan scene at the lake in Banshees (he should have gotten Oscar just for that)
The Mule with the cartel guys following Earl and singing along with Sinatra
Good Morning Vietnam traffic jam, chatting with all the soldiers
Lost in Translation final scene
Palm Springs scene where Nyles and Sarah are tripping on mushrooms and see the dinosaurs

1. Passion of The Christ-Jesus Resurrection after the most emotional two hours of movie watching I've ever experienced.
2. Braveheart-Victory at the battle of Stirling Bridge
3. Remember the Titans-"I don't want them to gain another yard! YOU BLITZ. ALL. NIGHT!!
4. Gladiator-"The frost, sometimes it makes the blade stick."
5. Rounder-Pay that man his money
