Pretty much I win in this thread with this scene:Incredibly haunting, disturbing, emotional, and sad all roll into one gorgeous performance.
Just to overkill any other competition here is another flick.
I should throw in some Kurosawa...mmm
Nah! you folks get the idea by now.
I now claim my crown.
Ohh, M is amazing. Good choice.
I know i'm not coming up with ones quite as.... powerful as everyone else, but these are scenes that i think it's very good and strong in their own way =)
From The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford:

Just absolutely gorgeous to look at, especially when Jesse Jame's body is silhouetted, and walks through the smoke.
Also, another from The Shining, but the opening credits, wonderful opening credits with the music:
Couldn't find a good clip on youtube of it but basically the LOTR "Two Towers" opening scene with the mountains and the music. And the ending scene when the camera hurredly scrolls up for a bit then slows down over a rocky mountain only to fully reveal the land of Mordor with a violently erupting Mount Doom and further away a barely visible Saurons' Tower.
The ironically angelic and soft symphony accompanied by the thunder and lighting in that scene were just perfect.
Then the film slowly faded to black, and the credits appeared.
How is that Shining scene most rare? that's on the dvd I have, it was on the VHS tape we watched in college, and it was on the dvd I had before I got the edition I have now...
Now! this is not a scene I think it amazing, but Oldboy has been mentioned and I thought I would share with you that same scene from the remake of Oldboy, the laughable Bollywood remake, for those interested. It's a terrible film, they even changed the twist:

Oh, and it's amazing, if you look you can see METAL bars bending really easily.

As much as I don't like the LotR films, there are some spectacular looking scenes in them. The bit with the giant statues in FotR. The view of the mountains when Eowyn looks out over the plains to see Aragorn etc riding towards Rohan. The scene when Frodo and Sam finally make it through the Morgul Vale to look out over Mordor.

this?
One of many amazing scenes from David Lynch's 'Wild At Heart.'
Two more 'Wild At Heart' scenes do die for:
I jest, I jest.
On a serious note, this is one of the best-shot and entertaining scenes in film history. If you don't think so - you're a daft-c*nt.
