oooh ya that was a great one sure to be mentioned!!!
What are your favorite all time movie scenes?
A few come to mind:
The entire LotR trilogy is one awesome scene. If I had to pick a single one though, I'd say the fight between Sam and Shelob and the Battle of the Pellenor fields.
Ferris Bueller's Day Off:
Cameron - "Ferris Bueller your my hero."
The scene with the droaning teacher; "...Bueller....Bueller...Bueller..."
The scene where Cameron kills the car.
Any movie that has any scene with Christopher Walken in it.

The Godfather part 1....the scene int he cafe when al pacino kills the police chief and drug lord.....his eyes act better in that scene than most actors can use their whole bodies in a whole performance...
The scene in Se7en when the dead body on the bed moves....****s me up everytime LOL

JFK
The scenes that made up the entire Clay Shaw trial were great. May it be the dramatized re-enactments, the actual going-on's within the court room or that footage of Kennedy's death. "Back and to the left", that bit left me speechless. And Garrison's closing statement was easily Costner's finest moment. That monologue brought me on the verge of tears, as it did him. Yeah, good stuff.
Mulholland Dr.
Betty and Rita's visit to Club Silencio in the middle of the night. That entire scene sends shivers down my spine. There are soo many things during those few minutes that you don't notice the first time around. Heck, I've seen that scene a dozen times, at least, and I'm still seeing stuff I never noticed before. And even when I have figured out everything that's going on in there (which will probably never happen) I'll always be able to appreciate the beauty of it.
The Shining
I'm pretty sure someone already mentioned this but it's worth bringing up again: when Shelley Duvall's character takes a look at literary work that Jack had been working on for the duration of their time at the hotel... woah. One of the scariest moments in movie history. She was the perfect person to play that role too. Leading up to that point she played such a likeable vulnerable character and when she gets a look at that manuscript, your stomach takes a significant drop with hers.

I know most people would say it is cheesy, but it gets me all the the time. The ending scene of Pay It Forward where all the people come the house with flowers and candles.
I thought of a few more while I was at school...
Pulp Fiction
Pretty much every scene in this movie can get me in a good mood, but that final scene at the diner. Oh my. It was great the first time around because I was covering my face with my hands, afraid to see what was gonna happen. At the time I had seen my fair share of John Woo movies where a dozen different people are pointing guns at each other's face, but things were definitely different in the Fiction. Maybe it was because I related to and cared for all the characters on the screen. Maybe Tarantino is a grandmaster when it comes to atmosphere. Now, of course I know how it all goes down, but it's still a great scene because Samuel L. Jackson is the pinnacle of cool in those few minutes(actually he is throughout the entire film). "I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd." There really is no such thing as a perfect movie but there are such things as perfect scenes and this is definitely one of those.
Waking Life
Waking Life follows an unnamed guy through his dream which consists of him listening to people, conversing with people and sometimes eavesdropping. The main character has over a dozen different encounters, all very interesting and my favorite is the last one. At first he was enjoying the whole lucid dream experience but now he's spooked and he's talking to a guy playing pinball. After the main character has explained his situation, the pinball man goes off on this brilliant rant about matters on an epic scale of complexity in a very simple fashion. If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't go watch it.
Life of Brian
When Brian falls into the spaceship... wow.

**** there are so many! *spoilers*
No Country For Old Men.
Tommy Lee Jones final speech during the last scene gives me chills every time i watch it.
Blade Runner.
The Ending. The "Tears In The Rain" speech and origami Unicorn on the floor, great ending.
Leon (The Professional)
The Ending where Leon gets shot but from his perspective and then him giving Stansfield the pin of the grenade and saying "This is from Mathilda."
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
The scene where the guy walks into the house and Leatherface opens the door at the end of the hallway really fast and smashes the guys head in with the hammer haunted me for days.
Sunshine
The scene where the captain and Capa are out in space and the captain cant get inside before the firewall thing. That scene is just breath taking.

Richard Dreyfuss' death scene in "Always".
Christopher Walkin delivering the "watch" story in Pulp Fiction.
Christopher Walkin and Dennis Hopper in the "Sicilian genetics" scene in True Romance. (if they gave an Oscar for 5 minutes on screen they both would have won)
William Hurt in A History of Violence.
