Probably NSFW . Contains swearing, guns, blood, death, childbirth, breastfeeding and death by carrot.

The last shot of Bob Hoskins in The Long Good Friday. It's a good film, but an exceptional ending!!!
The slow pan to the corridor while Travis Bickle calls Betsy, or the lingering shot of the fizzing glass of water in the diner, in Taxi Driver.
Might be a bit obscure, but the last shot of the Samurai in Seven Samurai, while everyone is celebrating but them. Grim!
How's about another Kurosawa... The fight scene, where Toshiro Mifune takes apart a dozen villains using only his hands, in Redbeard?
Somewhat less pretentious, the slow reveal of the spaceship in Independance Day as it rolls out of the clouds? I was spellbound by that, back in the day.
Harry Dean Stanton's last moments in Alien...
Rosebuds last scene in Kane... Changes the entire film, and it's just a **** ; )
A couple of my favs!
