The scenes for me that are the greatest are those that create a resonance and trigger a deeper response. I'm a sucker for wide panoramic views and saturated colours of the big screen, but for me, story telling is all.
The girl in the red coat, the moment you realise she is dead - do I even need to name the film? Very powerful film with quite a few scenes that are compelling, sickening viewing in their rendering of human excess and depravity.
I find it a film I can no longer watch - and that scene, it leaves me feeling troubled for days as I can't shake the red colour from my mind. Equally though, it is one of the few films I have watched that has left me with nothing but the deepest admiration and respect for those for whom bravery is not a tabloid exageration, but an absolute matter of life and death. 'Story telling' at its very best.

Six pages and no mention of that scene from Basic Instinct.
PH is slipping.
I was going to mention Jenny a gutters norks in an American werewolf in London PH is slipping.
But thought better of it,.
But while it's on my mind the dream sequence from that Film with the nazi zombies.
Some great stuff posted so far, some I totally get and agree with and some is just far too highbrow for me and my cheesy tastes.
I would have nominated the opening scene from the modern Star Trek film but someone already posted a link to that. I'm going to go with a couple of scenes from The Crow, even if it's cliched rubbish I still like it. I love the music in the film which helps and I always believe a great scene can be made or broken by the soundtrack, Gladiator and Last of the Mohicans are good examples of this. 2 scenes from The Crow I found on youtube:

I still maintain this inspired Heath Ledger a little.

I think it inspired quite a few actors and directors. Very, very stylishly done, dark clothing, guns and bullets, and slow motion martial arts. In 1994.ETA- many already mentioned, but I'll add the fight with the Frenchman in Grosse Pointe Blank. Now that looked like a fight to the death between two professional killers.
