I choose my answers based on the exceptional ones from the top of my head. It will probably not be the most memorable ones, or the most favourite ones. Cause if we talk about favourites, I'm sure there's a lot more that are still hidden in my mind .. hahah .. too many movies. Watch out for spoilers!

[Opening Credits]:
Band of Brothers. I love the montage. The style of old pictures complete with the scratches, the slow motion, and most of all, along with the haunting score of Michael Kamen. It contains the best scenes of the whole series. No matter how many times it plays, I never get bored of it. And My Best Friend's Wedding. The animation is cute, the song is cheerfully nice .. by the minute I saw it, I knew that I was gonna love the whole movie. Panic Room, all the casts' name on top of the skyscrapers.
[Waking Up]:
Back to the Future, when Marty woke up after the accident. "You're my ma .. you're my ma ..". And also after Marty came back to the future .. and saw things were changed drastically. Band of Brothers Episode 5, the morning wake up.
[Average Day]:
Groundhog Day. It is boring and unique at the same time, knowing that how much people can do and improve their life by repeating the day. And Return to the Blue Lagoon. Happy, undisturbed by the civilization.
[Best Friend Scene]:
My Best Friend's Wedding, the dance on boat. A Walk in the Clouds, drink and sing.
[First date scene]:
The Godfather, Michael Corleone and Apolonia, with her relatives tailing from behind.
[Falling in Love scene]:
Superman II, when Lois was flying with Superman. "Can you read my mind?". And Beauty and the Beast when Belle taught Beast how to feed the birds. Anastasia, the waltz of Dmitri and Anya.
[Love scene]:
Many. A Walk in the Clouds, when Victoria taught Paul how to fan the frozen grapes. Message in a Bottle, the popcorn fight between Garret and Theresa. Ada Apa dengan Cinta?, the cooking time. Beauty and the Beast, the dance. Phenomenon, when Lace gave George a hair cut and a shave. Titanic, learning to fly. Love Actually, "To me, you are perfect".
[Fight with best friend scene]:
My Dog Skip, when Willie slapped Skip away.
[Fight with Lover scene]:
Ada Apa dengan Cinta? Of course, Cinta and Rangga fought all the time. But the exceptional one is when Cinta said that since she knew Rangga, she became a different person. And the way Rangga responded to her, was very cool! I couldn't think of else, except that would serve her right.
[Break up scene]:
Jerry Maguire. You know, when Jerry bowed his head in front of Dorothy, hearing her saying the words. He seemed so helpless for not be able to stop her from leaving.
[Get back together scene]:
Jerry Maguire. "You had me at hello."
["Life's Okay" scene]:
Life is Beautiful. When Guido pretended in front of his son, that he was going to play instead of going to the execution.
[Heartbreak scene]:
Fly Me to Polaris, the swimming pool scene. *sniff*. And The Pianist, when Szpilman was separated from his family. Love Actually, in the bedroom, after Karen found out her gift was not the same as the one she found out before. Deep Impact .. when mom said goodbye to her daughter and her baby .. o, I cried badly seeing this scene. =( =(.
[Mental breakdown scene]:
Beth, Nurul Arifin's tears near the ending. Sunset Boulevard, the ending .. creepy.
[Driving scene]:
The Fast and the Furious, racing with the train. And oh .. is riding horse can be considered as driving? =D. I would like to recommend the way Arwen rode her horse, trying to get away from the Ringwraiths in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Man, it was intense!
[Makeout scene]:
Indecent Proposal. Bed, money . making love on the bed covered with lots of money .. sexy sexy. This is no ordinary love.
[Lesson learning scene]:
My Fair Lady. When Eliza accidentally swallowed the marbles. *lol*.
[Deep thought scene]:
"So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'" - American History X, the voice over of Danny Vinyard .. the ending with a sight of the ocean. (Note:The quote is modified from the final paragraph of Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address on March 4, 1861).
[Flashback scene]:
The ending of The Sixth Sense. O the flashback got me .. I felt so so stupid.
[Party scene]:
A Walk in the Clouds .. the harvest. When all the grapes were poured into a big barrel, and the women danced inside the barrel, stepping onto the grapes with bare feet. Other people were standing around them, playing music and clapping hands. It was a merry-wild party .. the Mexican way.
[Happy dance scene]:
Big, the giant keyboards dance. In & Out, the "I Will Survive" dance. Scent of a Woman, the tango dance.
[Regret scene]:
Patch Adams .. "I taught her the medicine that killed her". And at Carin's coffin, Patch read the poem, "I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: Where “I” does not exist, nor “You”, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep." Then he stopped, cried and kissed the coffin, saying he was sorry. (Note: The poem is free-translated from Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda).
[Long night alone scene]:
Ju-On: The Grudge. Ok, this is definately not my favorite, but .. phew .. when the girl was lying down on her bed, and the child ghost appeared from under her blanket, and when she looked up above her head, there was this girl ghost looking at her .. *looking for a safer place to hide*.
[Death scene]:
Ringu, the appearance. WARNING: Scary as hell. And My Dog Skip .. you look at him in the eyes, and you see the life he's been through .. touching.
[Closing scene]:
Notting Hill, when the pregnant Anna lay her head on William's lap. William was reading a book, sitting on a bench in the park. Silently, peacefully, they said nothing at all. And Dead Poets Society, when the students climbed on the top of their desks .. "O Captain, my Captain".
[Credits]:
Most of Jacky Chan's movies, with the outtakes.
