Two reasons:
1. 'Oh he's got an arm off!'
and
2. Nick Frost's angry face at the end. Makes me laugh everytime.
any martin Scorsese film where there is a long tracking shot with a bar and some classic rock, where a main character decides that his friends are his problem.
Or
the opening of Lawrence of Arabia
And how could I forget!
Ah. Speshpaul agrees.
From the directors cut I think.
Gunfights you say?
Or maybe The Matrix lobby scene?

Mixed feelings about the Matrix. I remember seeing it in the cinema so clearly, and how impressed I was by it. Not by the bullet time, more how the Wachowskis had blended so many modern pop culture archetypes into one awesome sauce and it was perfect. As if they'd done a Tarantino of sci fi and action genre tropes.
Sadly, that memory is sullied and spat on by a thousand pale imitators and worst of all, the Wachowski's own Matrix sequels and subsequent output 🙄
Since I'm pretty sure Sanjuro is my favourite film of all time I'll put in a scene from that ...I can't find an english version of this scene but it speaks for itself.
a fight scene from a more recent film that impressed me for very different reasons...Ip Man has just seen his countryman executed by the japanese for no good reason. Ass kicking ensues.
When Rachel finds out she's a Replicant. Breaks my heart!
The beverage scene where 'nothing is f****d'
As Good As it Gets
No steeenkin' badges!
Casablanca La Marseillaise
The montage scene from the Parallax View, I was tripping when I first saw it.
Perhaps not the coolest scene in cinematic history but back in 1965, in Cinema scope, Julie Andrews coming over that Alpine hill in the Sound of Music.

Er, there was only one Matrix, I'm quite sure of that. Definitely no second or third films.
The thread ender, right here...

Are you gonna argue semantics or are you just trying to forget? Understandable.
A fair few of those already mentioned but two from Leon stand out, both involving Gaty Oldman/Stansfield. The 'Beethoven' scene is mental but I also like this short but sweet classic:

Robert Shaw's USS Indianapolis scene from Jaws.
End scene of Fight Club, just for the music.
(And the picture of a cock which made me LOL in the cinema)
Lots of good ones so far.
Rear Window

Trying to forget.
Great film
Just for balance from my last film
Linda Blair's head spinning around in The Excorcist.
I think this one must have the record for giving more people bruised nuts than any film
I don't know about quantity, but I think Jet Li certainly does more quality testicle violence in this scene (paying homage to Bruce from Fists of Fury)
"She's standing right next to you"
Bond never got anywhere close to this.
