Do you have a favorite film scene that you come back to again and again?

For me, it has to be this, the final scene from Stanley Kubrick's "Paths Of Glory".

I come back to the opening scene in The Newsroom all the time... It seems more and more relevant every time.
It's a great choice by the director how everyone scowled when they didn't get the canned bullshit answer disguised as an enlightened one. How this one panelist decided to break the mesmerized charade and you see confusion and anger in peoples' eyes.
BUT... that "we used to be" line is also lazy nostalgic whitewashing of a mountain of incredibly inconvenient, sordid history.
Great choice! A sincere answer bracketed by two cliched answers!
