There have been lots of good scenes that sort of hang in memory, many of which have been mentioned. A couple of movies that I didn't see were "High Noon" (Gary Cooper) and "The Villain" (Kirk Douglas). Neither had just one scene that stood out, but each had several memorable ones.

I'd have to go back to early in the thread to second "Bad Day at Black Rock" as a most unforgettable movie. I saw it first at a fairly young age, and like most I remembered the fight scene. Perhaps I just had a better understanding of "how things were" when I saw it again - perhaps 10 years ago - when it really sank in why Tracy was in Black Rock. I will continue to consider it one of the most memorable movies ever, but for perhaps slightly more mature(?) reasons now.
