Scenes that make a movie for you

What's a scene in a movie that completely makes the time and money you spent on a movie totally worthwhile to you?

I've got two:

1) The scene in Three Amigos where the Amigos are trying to call the Invisible Swordsman to help them in their quest. Each Amigo is supposed to say some non-sensical line and fire their gun into the air. Instead of shooting his gun into the air, Chevy Chase fires his gun off to the side...striking and killing the Invisible Swordsman. This one had me laughing all the way through the film.

Lucky Day: Oh, great. You killed the invisible swordsman!
Ned Nederlander: [runs over to check] He's dead, all right.
Dusty Bottoms: How was I supposed to know where he was?
Lucky Day: You were supposed to fire up. *We* both fired *up*.
[aside]
Lucky Day: It's like living with a six-year old.

2) The scene in Chasing Amy during the comic book convention with Hooper X giving his angry militant black comic book artist speech while Banky heckled him from the audience. I didn't care for the movie as a whole but this scene just had me rolling and made up for the rest of the movie.

Hooper: Check this ******. You got cracker farm boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. And then you got Darth Vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, Nubian god!
Banky Edwards: What's a "Nubian"?
Hooper: Shut the fvck up!
...
Hooper: And Jedi's the most insulting installment. Because Vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! They tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
Banky Edwards: Well, isn't that true?
[Hooper pulls out a gun and shoots Banky]
 
I have many, but I'll pick one for now:

The showdown in the graveyard at the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

 
The scene in tombstone where Johnny unexpectedly meets Doc Holliday instead of Wyatt Earp. "I'm you're Huckleberry"
 
Another great one is the scene in Say Anything where Lloyd Dobbler goes to dinner at Diane Court's house and tells them of his future plans after high school. I can't remember all the "buy anything sold or processed" speech, but the "Kickboxing, sport of the future" was awesome.
