Specifically, what Kick-Ass says at the end:
“Three assholes, laying into one guy while everybody else watches? And you wanna know what’s wrong with _me?_ Yeah, I’d rather die…”

_Children of Men_: Carrying the baby through the battlefield.
_Awesome_ scene, especially when you think about what it represents.

One’s that were already mentioned that I disagree with IMHO:
Winter’s Bone: When they get pulled over by the police.
Sideways: “Are you chewing gum?”
Glengarry Glen Ross: “Fuck you, that’s my name”
Office Space: Meeting the Bobs.

_Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann_:
[spoiler]- The song Libera Me From Hell, and anything that happens while it’s playing.
- Giga drill breaker!
- Arc Gurren Lagann punches a spaceship so hard it breaks a hole in the space-time continuum.
- Simon spontaneously invents teleportation so he can punch Rosseau in the face.
- Kittan performs a rearguard against two alien ships to give a truck full of civilians time to escape. On foot. With a shotgun.
- The twins go out blazing.
- Kittan goes out blazing.
- The powerup sequence leading up to the final battle. First Gurren Lagann, then Arc Gurren Lagann, then Chouginga Gurren Lagann. Zoom out. Zoom out. Zoom out. _Zoom out._ Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann![/spoiler]

Oops…\ I sure did.
As for the Jurassic Park one, The Water Hole is the first time you see Dinosaurs where the music swells and we see a bunch of Dinos around a lake. One of the flaws of the movie (which I liked) is there wasn’t enough of that. The Dinos became Monsters almost immediately.

No, she holds them out in front of him, and drops them at his feet.
My favorite subtle part of that movie is that Navarre looks at her at the end and says, “you changed your hair,” and she laughs. She obviously got rid of the long locks they all probably wore back then for convenience.
Anyway mine is Kick Ass - the scene where Hit Girl fights her way to the big bad guy.

Warning, graphic violence done by young girl.

Two bits in _Magnolia_; when Julianne Moore totally loses her shit in the pharmacy and when John C. Reilly visits the house where the dead guy is in the closet. Oh, also the bit where Philip Seymour Hoffman is trying to track down Tom Cruise on the phone and he’s saying “I know that maybe I sound ridiculous, like maybe this is the scene of the movie where the guy is trying to get ahold of the long-lost son, but this is that scene. Y’know?”. So three bits.
And the ending, so that’s four.

Oh! Speaking of John C. Reilly, Stepbrothers, the drum-ball scene!

Bullitt-Cafe Contada scene…great music…nice chemistry between McQueen and Jackie Bisset.
Sopranos- Janet kills her lover…and the following scene where Edie Falco tells Tony that she is going on a trip to Italy…accompanied by the Eurithmics I Saved the World Today.

The Elephant Man, two best parts.
1. When John first receives Anne Bancroft like any other Englishman being visited by a Lady.
2. When John asks Dr Treves “Can you cure me?” Anthony Hopkins admits there is no cure for his condition and he very simply says “I thought not.”
