Duelling banjos scene in Deliverance
And, if I remember it right, Leslie Chow jumping out of the car boot naked in Hangover or Hangover 2?
So many great scenes in so many great movies, most of which have already been mentioned.
I'll single out the 'Danny Boy' scene from Miller's Crossing which is stirring stuff, and the first 20 minutes of 2001 which was just amazing at the time and still is. Both have something to do with the music.

The scene in Forest Gump where his Mother is dying really gets me EVERY time.
The William Shatner scene in Airplan 2 when he's talking through the TV screen.
As previously mentioned, Ip Man fighting for rice - best Kung fu film I've ever seen.
Alan Rickman won't count to 4 in Die Hard.
Th final moments of Layer Cake.
Oh, and "will everybody stop getting shot" from Lock Stock I can remember laughing so much I the cinema it gave me hiccups.

Watched it again the other night, first time for a while - always a wonderful film to watch
Scene from the Jean-Jacques Beineix film Diva.. the blue scene, in a blue room, lighting up a gitane from the blue packet. They did an homage of the scene in an episode of the simpsons.
The Coen brothers film, Blood Simple.
Scene in the back of the bar where Marty (Dan Hedaya) and the private detective (Emmet Walsh) are discussing murdering Ray. And the ploughed field at night scene..

I haven't watched all movies so I don't know.
The opening landing scenes
Won't be topped
Under Siege. Erika Eleniak. Cake scene.
The Candy coloured clown scene from Blue Velvet.
Magnificently surreal.
Watching Frank's (Dennis Hopper) mood slowly getting more murderous through a song that obviously has a deep rooted meaning to him.
Dean Stockwell's campy Ben and the all pervading sense of menace really makes it for me.
Love it.
Cheers,
Neil.
The Star Destroyer flying overhead at the beginning of the first Star Wars. Well, first in terms of date order anyway...
Selma Hyaks table dance scene in From Dusk Till Dawn has to be in there somewhere too...
Almost any scent from The Big Lebowski, but the "You're entering a world of pain" one is my current favourite;

Time to die.
need I say more?
I know CGI produces incredible things these days but this is an absolute classic

Gary Oldman: "Get everybody"
Cop: What do you mean?
Oldman: "EVERYBODY"
Single or DE?
Too many to try and put to pixels, but one that stands out:
The scene in Batman The Dark Knight where the Joker makes a pencil disappear. One of my favourite bits in the film for it's dark humour. Actually, many of the scenes with Ledger as the Joker were very good IMHO.
Final scene Casablanca.

Final scene Casablanca.
City of God final scene when little ze's gang has the shootout with neds gang. Rocket gets caught bang in the middle of the two gangs and it's a culmination of a hard hitting couple of hours. Quite iconic imo.
From 'Inherit the wind' 1960
Based on a real-life case in 1925, two great lawyers argue the case for and against a science teacher accused of the crime of teaching evolution.
This speech from Spencer Tracy, powerful and still so relevant:
and this for the sadness also
love this one...rubbish film, but nevertheless
Under siege- cake strip scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5poA9SMZIjA
Apocalypse Now, the scene after the playgirls show, surreal.
Stalingrad, the scene when they simply lie down in the snow.
Das Boot, where the boat dives beyond it´s maximum depth.
Saving Privat Ryan, the beach landing, crazy!
Too many to list and think of.
Just as the clock strikes 4.00 at the start of Le Mans and the heartbeats change into the engines starting up
Godfather III ending scene:

Don't know if the best. But for me the most intense.

The "Your move chief" scene between Robin Williams and Matt Damon on the bench in Good will hunting is a real contender from one angle.
But to pick "Best scene of any movie" is a massive ask...
... Darth Vader alone could fill a thread...
The Games Lesson from Kes
1. The final scene in Shawshank Redemption where the cameras pulls out as Red walks along the beach towards Andy.
2. Casino; when Nicky Santoro finally gets beaten and buried in the desert.
3. The flyover scene in Blade Runner when Deckard has been 'called' to the station. In fact, all the flyover scenes.
4. Fast Times At Ridgemont High - Phoebe Cates getting out of the pool - watched that one a few times!
5. Munich: The depiction of Operation Spring Of Youth. Fantastic.
That's just 5 of a myriad.
I laughed my head off at the overly aggressive police officer in the drunk driving scene. The scene with Ralph Brown as Danny explaining the Camberwell Carrot and bald men being uptight is another superb scene. Great film.
Ralph Brown pretty much played the same character (albeit with a different name) in Wayne's World 2, he was brilliant in that too.
Another on I find hilarious is the 'bag head scene' in Django. Even the way the scene is cut is fantastic with a great end.
Thats mine too. But Gary shouts EVERYYYOONNEEE

To lower the tone:
Monty Python's Life of Bryan:
'Are you the Peoples' Front of Judea?'
'Fuck off, we're the Judean Peoples' Front!'
More seriously, when John Coffee gets the chair in The Green Mile. Bloody sad.
Oh yes, I forgot about that scene. It's the only scored scene in the movie, the rest is dialogue and effects only.
He's one scary chap.
Love this scene!

That's an interesting comment Filterlab. I thought that no part of this movie was scored. Have i missed something?
Some really great answers here. I've aways loved the hostage handover scene in A Fistful of Dollars.
