I'll add the final gun fight from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly to any list of great cinematic moments. The secene involving Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach is superb!!

The Searchers: John Wayne after telling Lucy's boyfriend that he found her body back in the canyon and he asks Wayne what the Indians did to her:

"What do you want me to do, draw ya a picture? Spell it out for ya? Don't ever ask me that! As long as you live don't ever ask me that again!"

Excellent contribution, I must say. And it did NOT involve Eva Whoseesnootz either! ;o)

I have a better Clint Eastwood moment where he goes into the tavern at the end of "Unforgiven". Intense!

The gunplay scene in Titanic. There was such a lack of moving stories in the real thing that some gunfire was sorely needed.

Tombstone - the "...and hell's coming with me!" scene. Gives me goose bumps for some reason.

"Sleepless in Seattle" when Meg Ryan meets the little boy and his dad, Tom Hanks, up at the top of the Empire State Building - I always cry at that part!

The Deerhunter

I love this movie also but always end of crying when they find Christopher Walken so messed up

The scene in the The Godfather Part Two when Kay sneaks into Michael's house to visit her two older children after she has murdered their little brother. Michael sees her at the open door and walks over to the door as she whines and mewls. He stares right through her as if she doesn't exist and closes the door carefully (does not slam it) in her face just as you imagine he would if he came home and noticed a door ajar with no one behind it.

Powerful, powerful scene.

Another powerful scene is in The Third Man when Anna walks past Holly at the very end of the film.
