also in no particular order:

running on the beach in "Chariots of Fire"
the march to sea to collect salt in Gandhi
the "Reeses Pieces" scene in E.T.
the final scene in Empire of the Sun when Christian Bale's completely changed young character emerges from the Japanese-run POW camp in China.That scene was remarkable as the culmination of Bale's masterful performance for which he didn't receive an Oscar nomination in one the greater travesties ever on the part of the Academy. Back then, children were apparently ineligible for such nominations.

Ben Hur chariot race. Made in 1959, before computers and special effects wizardry, and 41 years before Gladiator.

The Sicilian scene in True Romance (with Gandolfino in the background)
The confrontation scene with Russel Crowe and Juaquin Phoenix in The Gladiator
 
So many from The Great Escape.

My favorite is when James Garner asks Donald Pleasant what he is doing here. Pleasant gives a speech about going sightseeing etc. Garner says no, what do you do here. Pleasant replies, oh I’m the Forger.

Here’s another

Final scene of the The Good The Bad and the Ugly game set match .Clint. Eli Wallach and Somerville High grad Lee Van Cleef . Go back and watch it and if you never have you will agree. As far as I am concerned it was the greatest spaghetti western and one of the greatest westerns of all time. And the music score especially in that final scene is genius.
