The end of ET
The end of Abyss
Just to name 2.
The scene in "Field of Dreams" where the little boy ("Rookie!") steps off of the field and transforms into the elderly physician, to save the little girl from choking, and then the whole cast--the "ghost" players, and those off the Field--realises that he can never go back.
That pause before the little boy steps across the baseline always kills me. And I invariably tear up when "Doc" crosses back across the Field and disappears into the cornfield, with hails from the "ghost" players.

Im still sticking to my original choices.
Sgt. Elias' scene when he is trying to make the chopper in "Platoon" (1986)
Several scenes in "Tears of the Sun". When they pass over the compound in the helicopter and everyone left has been slaughtered. When they make the decision to take the Indigenous Africans with them and that last battle scene. I've seen it a thousand times and I still cry, scream, swear and cheer.
The funeral scene in "Imitation of Life".
The scene where Barbara Streisand gets Robert Redford to come back because she can't sleep and the last scene in "The Way We Were".
When Billie D. Williams says, "You gonna'let my hand fall off," in "Lady Sings the Blues"
When Holly tries to find Cat in the Rain in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".
Every scene in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Tayler. But, I love it when Big Daddy says that line, "You have the audacity..." That's my favorite line. I was 9 yrs. old the first time I saw that film; I used every opportunity under the sun to use the word audacity (with his accent) that year.
"Last of the Mohicans". "I will find you." Beautiful stuff there. Oh and, that night when (I don't care what anyone says) they had sex.
The subway scene in "Shame". There are no words, just looks. So sexy.
Okay, that's enough.
The one right after the line: "Where the hell is Major Kong?"
