Slim Pickens was genius in Blazing Saddles.
Hell, the whole of Blazing Saddles is a favorite moment in cinema for me.

If you were alive in 1977, then this should have changed your view of movies forever:
That is IF you saw it in the theatre.

I was and I remember that moment vividly. I thought the big spaceship chasing the little spaceship would never end. It was gi-mongous!
Isn't nearly the same, now...

Recently... Sideways:
(Short, balding lead Miles accompanies arrogant old-time actor friend to bar after discovering his ex-wife has re-married...)
"Do not sabotage me... If you want to be a ****ing lightweight, then that's your call... but do not sabotage me."
"Oh aye aye Captain.. you got it." (In sarcastic tone)
"And if they want to drink Merlot... we're drinking Merlot."
"Oh no, if anybody orders Merlot I'm leaving... I am NOT drinking any ****ING MERLOT!"
Epic, I loved it... Hooray for the underdog!

Agreed. Maybe I'm too young to "get it?"

Oddly, the line that made me laugh the most:
"Somebody go get us a shítload of dimes."
I just never saw it coming. (Also, shítload is a funny word, doubly with his voice)

Hmmm....I can't pin it down to one...
Harrison Ford at the Piano in Bladerunner.
The final fight between Brad Pitt and Ed Norton in the parking garage in Fight Club
The very first time Neo puts his hand up and stops the bullets in the original Matrix

A couple of my favorites:
The Godfather Part II: Kay Adams, "It wasn't a miscarriage, it was an abortion!".
The Godfather Part II: When Freddo and Michael hug shortly after Michael has sworn to never see him again.
The Fellowship of the Ring: The Fall of Gandalf.
The Two Towers: The Battle of Helm's Deep.
The Return of the King: The Siege of Gondor.
Attack of the Clones: The ending, showing Darth Sidious standing on the platform looking at his clone army, and it's playing the imperial march.

I've never been able to watch that movie. I find an 80s-fied Ione Skye unattractive. Don't care much for her acting, either.
Edit: It is a classic scene though.

Another one of mine is When Luke Dressed as a Storm Trooper enters Lea's cell.
"Aren't you too short to be a storm trooper?"
"I'm Luke Skywalker I'm here to save you."
Or in Forrest Gump when he's meeting president Kennedy and he asks him what's it like being an all american and Gump replies "I gotta Pee."

You all got on this boat for different reasons, but you all come to the same place.
So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all.
Sure as I know anything I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten; they'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better.
And I do not hold to that
So no more running.
I aim to misbehave.
-------
Gone with the Wind: "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
Excalbur: When the king is "reborn" and the knights ride.
Star Wars: Opening credits, anticipating the theme.
Star Wars: The original beginning, with the extra huge Star Destroyer. Absolutely blew my mind when I was a kid.
Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back: "Leiah: I love you." "Han: I know."
ALIEN: When the alien bursts out of Cain's chest.
Galaxy Quest: "I have one job on this lousy ship! It's stupid, but I'm going to do it! OK?!!"
Galaxy Quest: "Jason: Brandon! It's real..." "Brandon: I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!! HAHAA!"
The Princess Bride: "I want my father back, you son of a b*tch."
A bunch more, but this is just off the top of my head.

1. "Dirty Harry" scene:
Harry Callahan: I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
2. Final scene with Al Pacino in "Scarface"
3. 1993 The Groundhog Day scene where Bill Murray learns how to play the piano.

Here's another of my favorites: Conan cuts Thulsa Doom's head off, then throws it down the temple stairs. Stands in front of the temple as it burns.

The Exorcist:
When the light flickers and you see (presumably) Satan's face on the oven for a brief second.
When Megan closes her eyes for the doctor's test and you get that glimps one more time.
The cut scene when Megan walks crab-style down the stairs and screems with blood coming out, and the mother just loses it.
And my favorite scene:
REGAN/DEMON
(Voice Over)
What an excellent day for an exorcism.
KARRAS
You'd like that?
REGAN/DEMON
Intensely.
KARRAS
But wouldn't that drive you out of Regan?
REGAN/DEMON
It would bring us together.
KARRAS
You and Regan?
REGAN/DEMON
You and us.

That's not Casablanca, it's "Gone with the Wind"...
Anyway a few from Casablanca:
After Rick has shot Major Strausser, in front of Renault
"Major Strausser's been shot... Round up the usual suspects."
Yvonne: "Where were you last night?"
Rick: "That’s so long ago I can’t remember."
Yvonne: "Will I see you tonight?"
Rick: "I never make plans that far in advance."
And of course:

I have a not-well-known one.
Body Double - when Jake's watching Holly from across the street, and when they're shooting the movie and he sees her in person for the first time.

And not a single quote from The Princess Bride, perhaps the most quoteable movie. Stupid AFI.

Definitely can't just limit it to one:
Shattered - the final scene (whoa.. didn't expect that one).
The Patriot - When Martin's youngest daughter finally speaks
The Godfather - So many scenes... but I guess the one the comes to mind is Jack Woltz and his horse.
6th sense - final scene
Star Wars - very beginning, as indicated above. "wow, that's was a big - oh wait, that's just a bay or something, DAMN, its still going!!!"
Raiders of the Lost Arc - Opening scene; when the faces melt; the sword fight
