Best Cinematic Scenes

What are your parts from movies? They don't even need to be good movies. Just good parts.

"Meatballs" - "It just doesn't matter" scene
"School of Rock" - "Stick it to the man" scene
"Tommy Boy" - "...the other guys break pads" scene
"Signs" "Do you believe there is someone to protect us?" scene
"Before Sunset" - The talk while driving to Julie Delpy's apartment
"Once" - Driving in the car to listen to the record

I'm sure you can all come up with better scenes than I.

Alright because its raining today, I'm going to go a little above and beyond, and supply youtube clips if I can find them. (in no order)

Quick note, the entire Tommy Boy film is on youtube in about 10 parts...

1. The Tommy Boy 'Bee' scene. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/894082/tommy_boy/

2. Can't find it, but the loading dock scene at the beginning of Jurassic Park

3. Haven't seen the movie, but this is great:

7. If you've seen the whole movie, the way it builds up to this is wonderful, from 12 Angry Men

That's all I can think of at the time.

I think every great movie has at least one memorable scene that sets it apart. The most memorable have a million such scenes (like star wars). You could almost rank movies by how memorable their best scenes are. A few favorites:
-the flying bike scene from E.T.
-the wizard scene from the wizard of oz
-breaking down the door in the shining
-apes and the bone in 2001 a space odessey
-the heat/touch/sound sensitive room from MI
-blowing up the buildings in Independence Day
-gandaf vs the balrog in Lord of the Rings
-the "happy place" scene from happy gilmore
-walking through the factory in an officer and a gentleman
-the egg scene from cool hand luke
-car chase in Bullet
-motorcyle jump in the great escape
-hedgerow scene from the longest day
-the wedding scene from the godfather
-the crazy wheel scene from midnight run
-the trip to the cemetary in the magnificent seven
