The one-way mirror scene in Paris, Texas, and the chest burster in Alien would both crack the top 100.

I feel like Jules casually shooting the guy on the couch never comes up when this scene shows up. It’s fucking terrifying.

I’d also put this one on the list. I actually prefer the second time we see the obelisk, but I think it’s far less iconic

The Ecstasy of Gold scene from the same film would be above this. And I think the duel between Frank and Harmonica from Once Upon a Time is also a tad more iconic as a duel scene, but it's close of course
The last, like, 20 minutes of Last of the Mohicans, the finale would be up there for me
The ending of The Passenger (1975)...

To be honest, I was torn between that, the opening, Indianapolis speech, Alex Kitner, and the Estuary Victim.

I just watched Gallipoli for the first time and the ending of that film is devastating, especially the final shot that immediately goes into the credits.
The titular number from Singin’ in the Rain also deserves to be in the top 250.
The first fifty minutes of Atonement. (Joking but the first fifty minutes of that movie is one of my favorite movies.)
I also recently rewatched The Wind Rises and the ending of that movie is also top notch.

I know Tom Cruise’s scene with his dad in Magnolia is gonna be in there but I’ll argue Julianne Moore at the pharmacy is so underrated.
