There are so many movies being created right now that it’s certain they can’t all be good. You may find that the dialogue is lacking, the characters aren’t relatable or the effects are very obvious. The mistakes are distracting and you can’t fully immerse yourself into the story. But some movies are so good that you can’t forget about them as they touched something in your heart.
Usually good movies draw us in from start to finish but they still have scenes that stand out more than others. People on Reddit shared those scenes that they liked because of the emotional impact, the special effects or how well the actors played their role when janearcade asked “What is the greatest single movie scene ever filmed?”

I never noticed until recently but there is no music whatsoever during that scene. 99.9% of films would force in a score to up the tension or pop in a few stingers to make sure the audience is perked up. Nope, not the JP paddock scene. The rain served as the score and the scene was 1000x better without background music.

When Dorothy Steps Out Of The House Into Technicolor And Into A New World In The Wizard Of Oz (1939)
It's when Dorothy steps out of the house into Technicolor and into a new world. It changed film.
The emotional aspect is unreal. That scene is forever engraved.

The Scene Where Forrest Gump Meets His Son In Forrest Gump (1994)
For me its the scene where Forest Gump meets his son. I love that movie. I was a 90s kid and for some reason Gump taught me a lot about the world I didn't understand. He was like this slow witted observer of all the biggest events that changed American history from the 50s through the 80s. All the time we see him as stumbling through life getting constantly lucky, but always driven by his love of friends and family, and Jenny. It never even occurred that he might be self aware. Then in the final act he finds Jenny in her apartment and she tells him they have a son together.
"Is he...like me?"
The realization that he understood his place in the world the entire time, and still managed to be the person he is, it wrecked me. That film is deeply sentimental for me for other reasons but when I think about the first time I saw that scene and how deeply it affected me, I haven't had such an emotional experience from many other scenes. It won best picture that year for a reason. It really is a fantastic bit of story telling.
