Equilibrium:
"No. Not without incident."
"I pay it gladly"
X-Men:
Wolverine vs. Magneto on the train. Not much of a contest, and we finally see some real humanity from Logan.
X-Men 2:
Wolverine going apeshit in the mansion.
Nightcrawler's entrance to the film. Astonishing.
300:
For a film with some fantastic fight scenes, for me the highlight comes when the Spartans and Akkadians come across a town razed by a Persian scouting party, and find all the villagers 'decorating' a large tree. As a film student, that shot makes me all kinds of giddy.
That's all I got for now.

From the first movie, the stand-off between Magneto and Charles, with the cops in the middle. The bullet spinning in mid-air pressed against the cop's forehead was the most tense moment in the entire film.
Three moments from X2.
"You wanted me to cure your son. Mutation isn't a disease-"
"YOU'RE LYING!!!"
Magneto escaping from prison by basically using a variation of the "file in the cake".
And Jean parting the rushing waters, lifting the jet up at the same time and then sacrificing herself, followed by Cyclops breaking down and Nightcrawler reciting the 23rd Psalm.

YOU FOUL, LOATHSOME, EVIL LITTLE COCKROACH!
Repeat after me, "Riddikulus."

I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.
What Ray? What just "Popped in there"?
(sigh) It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
Do not fear me. Our's is a peaceful race and we must live in harmony.

For me, when I was a kid watching the original TZ....

Was that line in the film? I know it was in the book, and was used in 2010, but I don't remember it from the original movie.
If we're talking about 2001, though, how about the bit where the apeman hurls the bone into the air and we cut to the view of the orbiting weapons platform?

When bomb #20 relizes phenomenology in Darkstar. 
Anybody who does not understand what I am talking about and actually decides to watch the movie Darkstar (1974) by John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon, you are welcome in advance.

I love that line too. But I also like the bit before that.
"Gozer the Gozerian... good evening. As a duly designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension."
"That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray."
Just the way Dan and Bill say those lines just cracks me up. How in the face of an all powerful being, he's completely litigious.
Another great moment from a 80's sci-fi/fantasy blockbuster.
BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II: The Delorean being struck by lightning, Marty being stranded in 1955, and the Western Union guy showing up to deliver a seventy year old letter from Doc. And then the return to the clock tower in town where you see Marty going back from the first movie, Doc cheering and staring up in amazement, and then Marty running down the street to catch up with him. "Yes you did, you did send me back to the future, but I'm back. I'm back FROM the future." I can't think of another sequel that set up a part 3 so well.
