The opening of Star Wars with the huge Star destroyer going on...and on....and on.....and ON. It's awesome.
The snowglobe shot in Citizen Kane.
The three-way stand-off in Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
The steadicam shot in Full Metal Jacket when the soldiers are approaching Hue City.
Steadicam restaurant shot in Goodfellas, no description needed.
And as far as greatest scenes how about Lee vs. O'hara in Enter the Dragon. best scene in any martial arts movie ever.

The end of "The Devil's Rejects" when "Freebird" plays. That's just priceless. I also liked the end of "House of 1000 Corpses" and I am gonna agree with whoever said the end of "The Warriors". Just the mix of "In The City" and them walking down the beautiful beach makes it a great scene.

The beggining of the battle of the Pellenor Fields from The Lord Of The Rings The Return Of The King, when all the riders of Rohan ride down to kill the orcs, it is an amazing scene... the best EVER!!!
Also from The Return Of The King, when all the warning beacons are being lit. The music is amazing.
I am your father, from The Empire Strikes Back.
Were gona need a bigger boat, from JAWS.
If it bleeds we can kill it, from Predator.
The massive car chases in the Italian job, the Blues Brothers and the French Connection.
"Well do ya, punk?" from Dirty Harry.
Mods vs Rockers, (the massive riot) from Quadrophenia.
When Yul Brynner has found his "7" and rides off to help the Mexican village, in The Magnificent seven!!

When the warriors walk down that beach as in the city comes, it gives you the sense of peace, comfort, and enlightenment, that even if you live in some dirty dicussting town, you realize that this is my dirty town and I will make the best of things. I know that deep down theres always hope. So if your sitting in a bus looking out the window after a bad day of work, or your sitting on your roof over a fest pool of lowlives, and you feel that theres no reason to live, all you do is look up at that sky, here that sonf, and contemplate on your life. Some how, your surroundings are bad, but yet you seem to find a moment of clarity. This is why that scene is so empowering.

Looky looky, I like this one...
Enter The Dragon: The often removed Nunchuka scene. Buggered up my VHS many years ago with all that rewinding I did :D.
Braveheart: The first battle, when William Wallace and co. are waiting as a ton of English soldiers on horses are charging towards them... "HOLD!... HOLD!... HOOOLLD!! Love that.
And the other battle where the Irish and Scots are charging towards each other, making us think they're gonna battle, only to stop, shake hands and join forces... The whole movie is great.
Dawn Of The Dead: Near the end when the lift doors open and we see Flyboy is a zombie. The way he walks dragging his foot and how he still has his gun swingin' on his finger, leading the other zombies to the false wall that hides the stairs to the roof. The wall collapses in seconds, then Peter says: "They're coming up" in the calmest manner. That's cool :).
The Warriors: The conclave scene. Still can't get over how so many people stood shoulder to shoulder and listened quietly as Cyrus gave his speech. Just amazing.

my favourite is at the end of Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury... when he sees all the police and what not... he has already accepted his fate (to be arrested) but when he sees the group of them outside... he sprints out, does a fly kick thing, then the screen freezes (followed by credits)
it goes something along those lines... (i haven't seen it in a while... but i can remember that being a great scene)
