The dinner scene in "My Dinner With Andre".
Wow, where did that come from. I have not thought of that movie in years.
The ending of the first Planet of the Apes movie. (1968) Statue of Liberty on the beach scene. Great cinematography. ‘You maniacs, damn you all to hell!’.

Cagney was great, with incredible range. Here are a couple of Cagney scenes that are just as good:
"Top of the World, Ma!" from White Heat playing a psycho-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkvYfiipIOgCohan's dance down the stairs of the White House after meeting FDR followed by the march off to "Over There" from Yankee Doodle Dandy-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5oWH6JWBJYBoth terrific scenes in that old-fashioned Hollywood way.
Not the best of all time, but I loved the ending of Into The Woods, and the song "No one is alone"
The scene when Robin William's character finally has a breakthrough with Matt Damon's character in Good Will Hunting. "It's not your fault."
Also, I second the death of Little Foot's mother in the Land Before Time. That scene had a profound impact on the way I viewed life and death as a child.
Last of the Mohicans
"Fire Tears"
In the name of the father. When Gerry Conlon's father Giuseppe dies in prison (both wrongly convicted), his fellow prisoners honor him by dropping "fire tears" out of their cell windows into the prison courtyard
The Blood Eagle ending in Vikings season 2 episode 7.
A lot of good suggestions but for me it's this scene from Glory.

Agree completely. Here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtkST5-ZFHwThe scene in Unbroken when Zamperini lifts the beam up off him. That was a very emotional scene.
I scanned the thread, but no one has brought up Old Yeller yet? WTF?
Haven't seen crash mentioned yet...
THIN RED LINE DUDE: U ARE THE MAN!
When Charlie Company finally takes the fortified hill from the unseen Japanese enemy, a long scene with great misery and suffering inflicted on the Americans as they repeatedly charge and crawl up the hill, and then an amazing set-piece where a 5-man detachment attacks and takes out several Japanese machine-gun bunkers, which are defended at one point by a banzai charge of Japanese soldiers. All of the Americans display an amazing resistance to fear, an ability to keep going into the face of likely death, but then in the immediate aftermath, different men vent their trauma in unique ways. Some lash out violently in a rage and shoot Japanese prisoners on the spot, while others quietly and tearfully console one another in brotherly way, hugging and exchanging knowing glances of what they've just been through. Soon Charlie Company overruns the Japanese bivouac beyond the armed bunkers, and as they charge into the camp they are met by starving and emaciated Japanese soldiers (followers the Bushido to the bitter end.) For an hour we've seen Americans blown up by mortars and cut to ribbons by machine gun fire, and now we see that their tormentors are in even worse shape, and a perfect vision of hell is right there on the screen. The Americans pour into the Japanese camp and cut down the final die-hard Japanese soldiers. The camera moves at ground level among the Americans, who run up on a lone, unarmed, Japanese soldier standing with his arms outstretched, screaming at the top of his lungs in a pointless effort to stave off defeat and reality. At that point, an unseen voiceover from one of the American soldiers speaks up and says:
"This great evil...where's it come from? How did it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doing this? Who's killing us? Robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might have known?"
There are other great scenes in the film also, such as the scene with Sgt. Welsh (Sean Penn) and Private Witt (Jim Caviezel) in the brig. In that scene, Penn says to Caviezel: "Truth is Witt, you can't take straight duty in my company...normally you'd be court martialed, sent back to the States, but I worked a special deal for you...you're gonna be a stretcher bearer with the medics."
Caviezel replies by saying: "I can take anything you dish out. I'm twice the man you are."
Penn gets a look of annoyed curiosity on his face and says: "In this world..a man...himself...ain't nothin'...we're living in a world that's blowing itself to hell as fast as it can arrange it. In a situation like that all a man can do is find something that's his, and hold onto to it."
