The scene from Badlands of Martin Sheen and Cissy Spacek dancing to Nat King Cole in the headlights in the middle of nowhere. Pure cinema magic.
TESB on the Falcon whilst trying to flee. R2 activating the hyper drive and the great line by 3PO 'I'm standing here in pieces and you're having delusions of grandeur' (the copied saying doesn't work in ROTJ by Han!) it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck everytime seeing it disappear into the distance ......and then (next scene alas) cutting over to the scene in Vader's ship (no words necessary) rounds it off perfectly.

Wow...thanks for your great and entertaining list. Those I knew I ' played ' in my head. Love that ' Taxi Driver ' scene but my fave in that movie is him buying the guns from Andy The Travelling Salesman.
love this movie. but this is the scene i always think of first Emily Blunt Singing Angel (Charlie Wilsons War)
Doctor Faustus really made an impression on me as a kid. I still like to watch it once a year or so. This scene when Faustus signs over his soul to Lucifer is especially good. He asks Lucifer's agent Mephistopheles where hell is? Hell has no limits nor is circumscribed in one in one self place, but where we are is hell, and where hell is there must we ever be. And to be short, when all the world dissolves and every creature shall be purified, all places shall be hell that is not heaven...
Back To The Future - the scene when Marty sees 1955 Hill Valley for the first time with Mr. Sandman playing... such a surreal and awesome scene.
