Aguirre, The Wrath of God: End of film floating down the river, only corpses as slaves.
Andrey Rublyov: The opening, once you see that horse roll over it's the end for you mind.
Wings of Desire: Violin music apartment scene.
The Vanishing: End scene buried alive in coffin (Tarantino find your own ideas) two eggs surrounded by light floating in space.

Heat: Runnin down main street with M16
 
Au hasard Balthazar: the ending scene in the field. If you've seen the film you know what I mean.

Samurai Rebellion: Mifune's character crawling through tall grass, shot dozens of times, dragging himself along with his sword.

La Fidélité: photograph montage of the protagonists' work at the end of the film.
 
The Squid and the Whale: The scene leading up to Bernard's heart-attack.

The Godfather Part 1: The Baptism.

On The Waterfront: The car scene with Terry and Charlie.
 
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Two scenes actually..One where guy and Genevieve go to his apartment the last time. Another is when she gets her dress.

I dont want to say them with detail becasue not many have seen this movie, sadly. And iwant them to see it for themselves...words dont do justice.

EDIT-spelling
 
Hmmm
In flight 93,where the passengers start to fight back , bust through to the cockpit...but meanwhile the terrorists jerk around the plane ... so everybody's falling all over the place...along with the fight sequence before it.
 
I think it has become evidently clear that this a question with no defintive answer (even most indivduals can't pick just one favourite). I've thought of few more to add:

Empire of the Sun- THe scene in which Jamie is singing to the soldiers on the other side of the fence, and then the planes start bombing nearby and he runs onto the rooftop.

Vertigo- The scene in which James Stewart first follows Kim Novack. Very eerie and effective. Arguably one of the greatest "Hitchcock moments."

Braveheart- The whole "They may take our lives...But they will never take our freedom!" speech. In fact there re several scenes in that film.

Amistad- Anthony Hopkins very long, yet powerful speech regarding the captured slaves.

All Quiet on the Western Front (original) - There is about 5 or 6 scenes that really stand out. The battles scenes, the scenes where the soldiers discuss war, and of course the scenes where Paul returns to his high school and talks to the students. Those ho have seen it will surely agree.

Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind- The spaceship scene at the end. "Boop-boop-boop".

ET. Extra Terrestrial- The scene where Elliot help ET escape, and the bike flies past the moon. Magical.

See, there's just so many. I could do this all day. Anyway, keep 'em coming I guess.
 
The shooting rampage near the end of Taxi Driver which ends in DeNiro trying to finish himself off but realizing he has no bullets left.

The closing sequence in Requiem For a Dream where everyone ends up in a fetal position.
 
For me the restaraunt scene in Godfather is the one thing that I would show to someone trying to seek the magic in a film. The acting of Al Pacino, the perfect direction and overall mood are some of the most powerful things I have ever seen. To me its the most realistic thing portrayed of a man who has never killed, and what goes through his head and the emotions he feels. I would even go as far as to say it transcends the barrier of a human eye seeing something on a screen, its just TOO good.
