Inspired from the clips posted in the De Niro/Pacino thread, let's have a collection of iconic scenes. I'll start with one of my absolute favourites.

So good you can forgive the dove.

Apocalypse Now Intro
That whole movie is just magnificent.
The Goodfellas and Heat ones get my vote. Brilliant movies and brilliant scenes.
Such a wonderful movie.
My girlfriend cries every time she sees this
I might be a bit biased, since I think this might be the best movie ever made. But this scene came to mind...
NSFW
What's the scene in the OP? Can't access it.
Plenty to choose from this movie (the chess fight, the arrows/calligraphy scene, the leaves), but this is probably the most beautiful:
Need to watch this again...

So many to chose from
A joker scene from the Dark knight is a must as well.

Bamboo sword one as well.
Great selection.
The tavern scene from Inglorious Basterds.
The eggs scene is better imo.
City Of God (the runts learn a lesson)
One of my favourite films.
Fassbender and Cunningham nailed this beautiful one-shot scene. McQueen at his finest here:
Baldwin's finest 8 minutes.
Thought it was turd the first time I watched this film, then had it on in the background once while I was doing something else... It distracted and intrigued me enough to watch it through properly again, which left me thinking it's some kind of masterpiece.
Lots of incredible scenes indeed, but I think you have to get swallowed up by the story before you truly appreciate them.
It seems that nearly all the greatest movie scenes are ones involving violence?
Shawshank Redemption gets ignored a lot due to the overrated tag, but this is a truly great scene, very much in the same spirit as the imaginary baseball game in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest posted above:
