What do you think are the most strongest movie scenes?

Here's some-
The Return of the King: The Rohan cavalry charge.
The Fellowship of the Ring- Boromir's death scene.
Braveheart: The execution scene. When Wallace yells, "Freeeeeeedddoooooomm". Most emotional part of any movie I have ever seen.
Platoon: when William Dafoe gets left behind and he is getting chased by the Vietnamese and then raises his hands to helocopters.
