Linda Blair possession scene on her bed in 1974. I'm still traumatized about that.

I didn't read the thread so this has probably been said but the scene when Golum argues with himself and Smeegle tells Golum to go away. The guy should have won Academy award for that scene.
The Smeagol / Gollum scene was great. I think the best scene from the movies was my favorite scene from the books though. It has already been mentioned in this thread but it bears another heap of praise. When Eowyn faces the Witch King of Angmar on the Pelennor Fields. I was terrified that Peter Jackson wouldn't get it right. Even after how great he directed the first two movies, I was sure he would ruin my favorite moment in literary history. Boy was I wrong.
I can't possibly pinpoint one scene, but here's a few of my favorites:
The first 45 minutes of "Full Metal Jacket." R. Lee Ermey is great in that one. I couldn't even tell you what happens in the rest of the movie. I watched it all the way through one time, but now I don't remember it.
The town meeting scene in "Hoosiers" where they're voting on whether to fire Coach Dale. After voting to fire the coach, Jimmy Chitwood walks in and says, "I play, coach stays. He goes, I go." Leading to a re-vote, and the tearing up of the ballot followed by, "Coach stays."
And somebody already mentioned "Big Trouble in Little China." This one is filled with gems. However, my favorite is when Kurt Russell throws his knife (and misses badly) at Lo Pan. Lo Pan says,"Good knife. Goodbye, Mr. Burton," and throws the knife back at Russell, who manages to catch it, and immediately throw it back at Lo Pan (this time stabbing him square in the forehead and killing him). The leads to all the statues in the room crashing in a domino effect. Kim Cattrall looks at Russell, bewildered at how he did it. Russell (full of himself) responds, "It's all in the reflexes." Classic.
