Pretty much on the money. Personally, I would promote your Empire Strikes Back scene within the top three, and I would demote your LOTR scene somewhere off to the next zipcode.
Great list though.

I don't know if I could ever narrow my favorite scenes down to 20. Much too many to name in general. Tho I know the final moments of City Lights would be in the Top 5 somewhere.

This thread seemed tiresome at first and now seems maddening because it should have been “Your favorite BILLION scenes”. Thank you, OP, for reminding me of so much cool stuff.
