I was watching Return of the Jedi and saw the scene where Darth Vader's mask burned in the bonfire. It took me back to the moment when i saw it on the bigscreen. I forgot how powerful that scene was to me. Is there any movie scene that can take you back to the first time you saw it?

Most Powerful scene in a movie was from The Color Purple and Oprah comfronted Whoopi Goldberg about speaking 2 harpo:

The famous lines where...

U told Harpo 2 beat me, all my life I had 2 fight, I had 2 fight my uncles, I had 2 fight my brothers, but I's ain't never thought I had 2 fight my own husband... I's loves Harpo, God Know's I's do, but I's Kill em' dead before I let him beat me...

Sounder (1972 version) when Nathan Lee (Paul Winfield) returns home to Rebecca (Cicely Tyson).

Roots when after repeated whipping Kunte Kinte finally says his name is "Toby."

Do the Right Thing when Mookie throws the trash can through the window.
