Boondock Saints--The William Dafoe "There was a firefight!" scene. The courtroom speech scene. God, that entire movie was amazing.

It's the Marquis de friggin' Sade. What did you expect?
If you want the really nasty stuff you should check out some of his writing. OMFG Some of that stuff would still be considered "out there" even today.

Was already mentioned, but definitely deserves posting:
Warning: Language And violence, but beautifully done.
Backstory: the person held at gunpoint is the head of the Italian mafia.

I've seen a few more movies since this was posted so I'm gonna add 'em, necrothreading faux pas be damned!
That scene in Cabaret when the Hitlerjugend kid starts singing "Tomorrow belongs to me" and everyone just slowly starts singing it too until everyone at the picnic except for a few minorities are singing it...gah! Just gave me chills because you know what's gonna happen next.
"And the World Will Know" music number in Newsies.
The end of Inception where the top just keeps spinning so you're not sure if it's still just a dream or what.
The homage to the video game in "Doom" where it's like a first person shooter for a battle sequence! Kinda cheesy, but awesome!

Mine will always be towards the end of the Return of the Jedi...having the great fortune of being a part of the original kid generation of Star Wars fans, when the phenomenon was still just exploding into pop culture, I got to see it in the theaters when it debuted.
When the Emperor was zapping Luke with Force lightning, killing him slowly, Luke pleading for his father for help, and as we, the audience, began to see Darth Vader's conflict...when Vader grabbed the Emperor and lifted him high...the entire theater leaped up onto its collective feet, fists pumping the air, everyone loudly cheering as if their hometown team had just scored the winning touchdown in the Superbowl, the roar of the crowd drowning out the theater's Dolby sound system...I've never had a movie experience quite like that before or since.
And, perhaps secondly, the execution of William Wallace's love in Braveheart, her teary eyes sweeping the area in hopes that Wallace will save her, the powerful, heart-hitting score of James Horner wailing in the background, followed by his revenge that sparks the Scott's rebellion.

Officer and a Gentleman: Foley meeting the recruits for the first time
A Few Good Men: Court scene with Nicholson and Cruise
Up: Opening sequence for Carl's backstory
Serenity: The abrupt shock of the "I am a leaf on the wind" scene. (And let's not get started on favorite scenes from the show...)
