Lord Of The Rings: Return Of King - Frodo is trying to escape from the caves, and Shelob is chasing him. When he turns round, Shelob stings him. Also when Aragorn is crowned king, and reunited with Arwin.
Pirates Of The Carribbean: Captain Jack Sparrow arriving at the docks - by 'boat'.
Rocky Horror Picture Show - When they sing 'Don't Dream It', and they are all in the pool.
Carrie - THAT scene at the prom, when she is covered in pig's blood, and she makes the place go on fire, and gets revenge on everyone.
An American Werewolf In London - When he is talking to all his victims in the cinema.
Frankenstein Created Woman - Hans entering the bar, and going to the back room to see poor Christina. When Christina is forced to serve the 3 upper-class yobs, and they are so nasty to her. Also, when Hans is hanged, Christina jumps into the river and drowns.

I've got a huge soft spot for a particular shot near the end of American Beauty - the house's red door in the torrential rain with a very slow zoom in, and appearing to almost glow. It's a gorgeous shot that really speaks to me for some reason. On a lighter note, spliff politics from Human Traffic - spot on, hilarious, overblown and featuring Andrew Lincoln before he stopped bothering to act and just did voiceovers for adverts, which presumably are more lucrative.
EDIT: Nearly forgot A Clockwork Orange - several things, particularly the rape scene and the brainwashing. A similar use of incongrous music really sticks the "Stealers Wheel" scene from Reservoir Dogs in the brain.
Malkovich's trip through his own door in Being John Malkovich. The Smurf discussion and the aftermath sequence (with that Tears for Fears song - again, it seems to be music which does it for me ) from Donnie Darko. The opening of Mulholland Dr. The sex scene from 8 Mile I thought was remarkably convincing (unlike some of the rest of Eminem's performance, those incredible battles excluded), which might be an unusual choice. Man, there's loads of these

The Trollenberg Terror (aka The Crawling Eye): The final battle against the terrifying, tentacled eyeball.
She Demons: The sudden, and _very_ unexpected appearance of an SS officer in the middle of the jungle on an island just off the coast of the US of A.
Night Of The Living Dead: The ending. It's a damn good ending.
Bad Taste: Pretty much the whole movie, but the exploding sheep is a legend.
Down By Law: The farewell scene at the end. Another totally awesome ending.
Star Wars IV: Darth Vader enters the captured ship.
Alien: Troubled stomack. Nuff said.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Leatherface's "chainsaw ballet" as the girl escapes. Also, Leatherface hitting that bloke with a sledgehammer. OUCH!
Silent Movie: 3 knights in shiny, clanging armour endearing Liza Minelli.
Jabberwocky: Hide and seek tournament.
(at this point, my memory decided to break down)

28 Days Later, the first 5 minutes, in London. Superb.
Other than that, I'd have to say, in no particular order, as my top five -
- La Haine, the ending of it, which is a very good moment of a very, very good film.
- King Kong, with Anne and King Kong dancing on the ice just before the artillery hits, which is excellently directed (even if most of the film is rubbish).
- Saving Private Ryan, the whole Omaha Beach scene.
- Platoon, the final assault by the NVA.
