This is an excellent question and there are quite a few I suppose. I think they'd all involve Tom Hanks in someway with the possible exception of one...
1. From Cast Away... I've got two scenes here that are sequential with a minor package delivery scene omitted here.
A) This is at the end of the movie. Tom Hanks' character, Chuck Noland, has returned from being stranded on a deserted island for 4 years. His fiancée, Kelly Frears, eventually moved on starting a family with another man. Still, he was the love of her life and his love for her is what kept him going. After reuniting at her home, she tells him that he was the love of her life and comes this close to abandoning her family to be with Chuck... but they both realize she has to stay with her family. So, Chuck lost her... AGAIN - first because of the plane crash and 4-year presumed-dead absence on the island and then right there when they realized they could not be together now. Chuck then talks unloads to his buddy (whose wife died while Chuck was missing)...
B) After this scene, Chuck, a FedEx manager, hand delivers a package that was on the plane with him. Something that kept him going was to deliver that package, albeit 4 years late. The recipient is not home, but he leaves the package with a note. The package had an interesting butterfly image on it. His package delivered, he stops at a crossroads (below) in rural Texas wondering where to go next - both as a destination and with life. He coincidentally, but knowingly, meets the owner of the package who offers him directions. After she drives off, he realizes who she was and, at the very end, he has this wisp of a smile that ties in nicely with the scene above... "Who knows what the tide could bring?" (a reference to the tide bringing him a sail that enabled him to escape the island). He realizes that, even without Kelly, life has something to offer and is worth living.
2. From "The Green Mile" A) The discussion between John Coffey and Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) on the night before John's execution in "The Green Mile". John was wrongly convicted of murdering two little girls. He also has the ability to perform miracles and save lives. Paul is the head guard of this death row prison wing. Through a miracle touching of John to Paul, Paul knows that John is innocent and is a miracle worker. Paul is conflicted because he knows that John should be free and not executed. Paul genuinely fears God if he executes John and he says this: " On the day of my judgment, when I stand before God and He asks me why did I... did I kill one of his true... miracles... what am I going to say? That it was my job... (*exasperated whisper*) it was my job? "
While these are not scenes, I want to include the title sequences to "Alien" and "Aliens". In both films, the title sequences set up the mood letting you know what you're in for... I am fortunate that I saw both these movies for the first time in theaters (1979, 1986) because movies like this (such as "Star Wars") NEED to be seen in theaters before seen on small screens at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jJRvZ72fLs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SNuPBWC81I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jJRvZ72fLs RIP Yaphet Kotto who just died; he played "Parker" in "Alien".
I am also going to include this masterpiece of cinematography and photographic special effects (No CGI here in 1968...) This is the long establishing scene of the spacecraft Discovery en route to Jupiter. If you watch carefully and pay attention to details and think about how this was filmed, this alone deserved the 1969 Oscar for Best Special Visual Effects.
The endings of these movies - all love stories - are also all very good. If you know the movies, they are that much better...
"The Adjustment Bureau" "The Time Traveler's Wife" and, perhaps the greatest love story movie of all "Somewhere in Time" where the character Richard Collier (from 1980) dies of a broken heart after having fallen in love with a woman from 1912 who told him in 1972, just before she died, to "Come back to me." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdsEmAR6Bj0
Going along with @itsthenephilim whose aerial fighting video looks like it's from "Man of Steel", Zod's speech just before the aerial fighting between Superman and Zod was excellent. Michael Shannon as Zod should have at least gotten an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyEQqm91Q-8
Wow, I've forgotten all about that film! Watched it like two decades ago, and I still remember much of the concept, so that means it left a mark. I'll make sure to watch it again soon.
As for mine, it's actually a tie:
1) Wanted (2008) - protagonist lashes out on a lethal roasting rant against his bitchy boss in front of entire crew, then packs up his personal keyboard and leaves. As he does, his "best friend" (who's actually fucking his girlfriend) lifts his hand up for a high five telling him "who's the man?". Protagonist then smashes keyboard into asshole's face. Camera goes to slow motion, screen shows broken keys spelling "fuck yo" with the final "u" spelled with asshole's broken tooth. Priceless. A soul purifier.
2) The Old Guard (2020) - two protagonists captured by military bad guys. Happen to be two men in love. As they comfort each other and kiss, one of the soldiers, typical highschool jock bully moron, makes fun of them asking "what, is he your boyfriend?" and all the soldiers laugh. One of the prisoners gives him such a demeaning scolding look (excellent acting) that it's felt through the screen, then goes on to belittle the soldiers for being so childish, bigot and pathetic. He explains what his partner, the love of his life, makes him feel, the sort of bond they have, and the soldiers' faces really show that they trully realize they will never in their lives experience such love. When he's done talking they actually lower their gazes and shift their weight in inconvenience because they're so ashamed, and the room is sileny. Game, set, match, absolutely beautiful writing, acting and directing. Movie itself ain't half bad, another Matrix trying-to-be, but this scene makes it superb.
I have many favorite scenes but I really like The second coming scene in “meggido the omega code 2”. In this climactic scene, God returns to defeat the devil and his army.

Christ, I have so many, I’d need months to review it all and come up with an answer. For a quick one, I’ll keep it local and go Good Will Hunting, the famous bar scene...

I liked his response when she asks him "are you expecting something?" He says "hoping..." ... The last sequence of battles and fights from the Last of the Mohicans, from the time they leave the defeated fort until the end of the movie.

I just watched "Passengers " With Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. The ending was pretty intense. Also at the end of my favorite Christmas movie "Die Hard" when Bruce Willis finally meets Sgt. Powell in person.
My favorite movie is Open Range with Kevin Costner. there is a scene where Kevin Costner has a showdown with the bad guy that killed his friend. He walked right up t o him and without any emotion he pulls out his 45 and puts a bullet right between his eyes.
Ha I love Kevin C he always plays in a good movies. I just gave a try to Yellowstone not bad a little too much cussing and deceit but not bad. I won't watch another season but I enjoyed his acting in the first
Crazy Mexican Cholos beating up a white boy in this scene - Training Day 2001
The reason why I like this scene is, the acting of this scene is.. really good. Actors are really good indeed, even I watched the movie 100 times I always get excited when watching this scene and feel bad for the white cop lol.

Al Pacino, scarface, when his Manson is under attack, and he whippes out a machine gun with a grenade launcher attached to it, “say hello to my little friend “ it’s awesome.
Why does this not surprise me? It would either be the national geographic the life of monkeys or scarface. I bet you repeated that line many times🤭🤣 you are the cutest 🥰
One that gets to. Is the scene in Ghost where she is at the potters wheel and he comes from behind and puts his hands on hers , after he had died. With the music , I always a tear in my eye..

When titanic sank (last scene) and i didn't have to be hearing Celin Dion any more (not knowing that 24 years later, i still have to hear her on different radio stations)
“One time Frank Sinatra came inside here, sat right in this chair, I said ‘Frank, you hang out with Joe Louis... just between you and me... how old is Joe Louis?’ You know what Frank told me? He said ‘Hey... Joe Louis a hundred-and-thirty-seven years old.’”😂😂😂
