Favorite iconic scenes in movies? (spoilers)

The ones that are used in highlight, memorial reels. Some of the most iconic from any film. Which ones do it for you? I tear up at so many others, I don’t even remember. Hope this jogs it.

I am rewatching Alien and the chestburster scene always freaks me out, always. I know so many others.

When Quint buys it in Jaws.

"Green smoke" scene from my favorite movie, The Rock.

It's mostly the crescendo from the music track during that scene that sells it.

Re: Favorite iconic scenes in movies? (spoilers)

I watch a couple of the key scenes from Superman: The Movie every so often. First, Superman's first appearance saving Lois as the helicopter dangles from the building. Don't worry miss, I've got you. You've got me, who's got you?! Love that scene and everything in it, it's perfection. No one will ever do the character better.

Strangely enough, I also love that final scene when Superman dumps Lex at jail and then we see Superman ultimately flying at us over the Earth with a wink. The country is safe again, Superman, thanks to you. No, sir. Don't thank me, Warden. We're all part of the same team. Good night.
