How about something a little more positive from movies. What are your favorite scenes from movies that have stuck with you or influenced you or that you just really really liked?
(Warning many of these may be considered spoilers for a movie)
Examples:
Empire Strikes Back, Vader's reveal to Luke. That has to be one of the biggest and most recognized scenes of all time, I remember seeing it in a movie theater in Anchorage Alaska, I was 10 years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. That was one of the biggest shocks ever in my life.
Conan the Barbarian, Conan's prayer to Crom. Ok as silly as it sounds that scene consistently brings a tear to my eye, it was just a very powerful scene (not to mention the carnage that came seconds after it).
Conan the Barbarian, What is best in Life. Yea if somebody ask you what is best in life you should know the answer now. True words to live by
Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, the gathering of historic person's montage. I'm particularly fond of "Genghis Khan want a twinkie?". Just goes to show sometimes the weirdest things get stuck in your head when watching a movie.
Star Wars, the Stormtrooper hitting his head. I bet I saw that movie a dozen times before it was pointed out to me, now I can't get through the movie without cracking up at it. If you don't know the scene, it's when the stormtroopers are breaking into the control room and the droids are hiding in the closet, one stormtrooper bashes his head on the door and almost goes down when they enter the room. Even after they spent all that money on the special editions that is still in there.
Star Wars, Han Solo coming back to help Luke at the Death Star trench. Man what a great scene, it gives me goosebumps. It was the big payoff of the whole movie for me (being I was always more of a Han fan than a Luke fan). Funny side to that check out how hard Han shakes Chewie, he about pulls him out of his seat.

) is rife with wonderful dialogue ("You keep a-using that word..."), it's hard to beat the delivery of the scene at the castle gate...
