None of my fave three are on YouTube (that I can find).

Star Wars, small ship chased across the frame by some enormous ship that goes on, and on, and on. Think I paid five bucks at the time to see that flick, some of the best five dollars I ever spent, just for that one scene. "OK, you have my full attention."

The forty horses of the bandits hammering across the screen in Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Breathtaking.

Opening scene to the cinematic release of Apocalypse Now. First time I'd heard speakers in the back of the cinema. Those choppers, sha-sha-sha-sha-sha...

This is what I though of when I started reading the posts. 

Then again, Blade runner is at the top of my list.

But here's a good one.  Couldn't find the opening scene.

Every time I up a 17 in this game, that song springs into my head.

Lotta great ones in here.  For myself, got to give a nod to the opening to Star Wars.  Just beautifully executed.
