The Godfather baptism/murder montage. So striking I involuntarily think about it anytime I am at a baptism or mass and we renew the baptismal vows.
Breaking Bad could get its own thread in this category. I can't decide between "I shot a dog" and "say my name!"
First place: dumb and dumber toilet scene
Second place: red wedding
Third place: Friends when joey wraps his pen15 with silly puddy to get a part and it falls off on the audition

Post credit scene at the end of Iron Man. Biggest jaw dropping moment in a movie I ever had.

I think the greatest scene in comic book movie history is the fight between Iron Man and Thor in the first Avengers.

Favorite - the crowd parts, revealing big guy with sword, Indiana Jones looks at him with a look that says "I don't have time for this crap", whips out his gun and shoots the guy dead - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Others I can think of
Animal House - John Belushi going through the cafeteria line, stuffing his pockets with entire bunches of bananas, his mouth his an entire burger, slurping down jello, and overloading his tray
The Empire Strikes Back - very quick visual effects shot during the AT-AT attack on Hoth, when Rebel soldiers are fleeing and behind them you can see three walkers shooting randomly at these soldiers - that shot is a composite shot of many elements but even this many years later it appears to be completely real and the scale of the shot is impressive
Return of the Jedi - the look on Palpatine's face right after he said "Now, you will die" to Luke and started Force lightning Skywalker was pure evil. That actor was perfectly cast for the role.
The series finale of M*A*S*H - the entire sequence in the bus (not sure if it was a bus, but it was a good hiding place) when they were evading the North Koreans (or was it Chinese) and Hawkeye tells the lady to shut that chicken up lest it give away their hiding place - and then the realization that she had not killed a chicken but an infant. I have only seen that episode once (probably the only episode of M*A*S*H I can say that about) but that scene has stuck with me all these years.

Unforgiven - ending sequence in the saloon. I could watch that a million times.
Private Ryan - Omaha beach
Glengarry Glen Ross - Put that coffee down speech

Until the Simpsons finally decide to call it quits.
Hector vs Achilles in Troy.
O captain my captain scene in dead poets society
The Cuba lunch scene in a few good men

This.
And the Phoebe Cates pool scene in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Give me chills.
Started reading comics in the early 80's and I still couldn't believe I was seeing this happen.
Monsters Ball...you know which one
1. Sicilian story in true romance by dennis hopper.
2. Gun scene after blaines death in predator.
3. Post zipper scene in something about mary where the special needs brother is yelling that he was masturbating.
4. Swan scene in notebook was pretty pimp.
5. Belch scene by booger in revenge of the nerds.
That should round out my top 5 by genre.

The opening sequence to raiders of the lost ark.
TV...the last scene of "Farhampton" in How I Met Your Mother, when Ted has no idea that he's a few feet away from his future wife on the train platform. That final shot still gives me chills when I watch it. And the conversation between Ted and the German guy that precedes that scene is hilarious and so very, very German.
Movies...too many people have already said the baptism scene from The Godfather, so I'll go with the scene in the cornfield from North By Northwest. Just a classic, suspenseful and beautifully shot.

This. The parking lot scene in from "One Minute" of Breaking Bad starting at the moment Hank's phone rings until the parking lot scene ends.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:

Hardhome: The entire sequence was unexpected and so brilliantly done. Jon's fight with the White Walker was incredible. (Runner up would be the opening sequence to Winds of Winter where Cersei gets her revenge)
Jaws: The opening scene with the woman terrified me as a kid. It was so perfectly done.
Jurassic Park: The T. Rex bursting through the fence. I have been a huge Dinosaur geek my entire life and that scene blew my 12 year-old brain
And a comedy bit that I love:
From season 3 of Family Guy, where they go to the Deep South, Peter goes into an outhouse and it gets knocked over. The line, "It's everywhere, its in my raccoon wounds," had me rolling.

Underrated movie. Probably my favorite comedy of all time.
Another scene I really like - when Sam Neil gets his first glimpse of the brachiosaurus in Jurassic Park
In The Lost World when several of the characters are trying to escape through the long grass and Spielberg pulled up for a high angle shot to reveal several rows in the long grass all converging on the people - and the velociraptors attacked.

Nice to know the reading comprehension of my fellow Aggies suck.

Funny, I think about it every time I'm murdering someone.
