Good scene, but he doesn't buy the bike or ride off on it. He buys the kid's shirt for a sling and walks away.

The bullet dodging in the first Matrix.
Jurassic Park, first dino scene.
The first Star Wars opener was also a game changing scene and movie in general.
Beach landing in Saving Private Ryan.
Girl in the red coat from Schindler's List.

Basement bar scene in Inglorious Basterds

The last 20 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The last 20 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I thought about 2001. Being a bit (or a lot) older than you, I saw it when I was a teen in the original 70mm on one of the last big theaters in downtown Dallas. It was a come to Jesus experience. Both the beginning and the end were something entirely new.
And Also Sprach Zarathustra and the Blue Danube Waltz are in my mind forever associated with that movie.

"First Blood".. when Sylvester Stallone fought his way out of the local sheriff's office building, then grabbing that dirt bike and making a get away..
Great movie...🤣🤣😃

SOMEWHERE IN TIME
Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymour
“The movie opens with college student Richard Collier gathering rave reviews for his debut play. At the party, he comes face to face with an old woman who presses something in his hand and whispers "Come back to me." He opens his hand to find an old pocket watch. Eight years later, Collier is a successful playwright in the middle of a break-up and writer's block. He leaves Chicago for awhile to think things out and finds himself near his alma mater at the Grand Hotel. While wandering around the hotel, he finds a photograph of a beautiful young woman. Richard is entranced, and attempts to find out whatever he can about her. During the course of his research, he learns she was Elise McKenna, a famous actress from the turn of the century. He also discovers she was the mysterious old woman who gave him the pocket watch. Finally determining that he must meet her somehow, he employs self-hypnosis and wills himself back to 1912. He meets Elise and they fall in love.”
Everything seems to be hunky-dory when all of a sudden Chris is shuffling around in his hotel room contemplating his good fortune when he decides to rummage around in his pockets. He pulls out a penny and is startled (as I was) to read the date on the coin “1971” which, of course, breaks the spell.

Gotta go with "Wax-On, Wax-Off"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LerwIYmNFXY
Mr. Miyagi has him do that work to give him muscle memory, he shows that all that motions mean something, and the quick fight sealed the deal. You were locked in after that.
That is a most game-changing movie scene ever.
-
Chestbuster scene from Alien.
It had a great impact on me and this is my all time favorite movie since then!

Wow. This is your choice? You think this scene was a game changer for movies?

Great list! 👍
I’ll add the execution scene in the Green Mile. That scene hit me hard and made me really question my beliefs on the subject.

***SPOILER***
Armageddon
When Bruce Willis cuts Ben Affleck’s air hose.
I agree with a lot of the other ones already mentioned, too.

Spoiler--- The usual Suspects
How about when Keyser Soze (Kevin Spacey) kills his wife and kid. "would rather see his family dead than live another day"

Who said game-changing for movies. We are talking about game-changing in the STORY of a movie. Wax-On, Wax-Off perfectly defines that.

In that case, I'd say the ending of the original Planet of the Apes. Same with (more recently) The 6th Sense. And, pretty much every episode of the original Twilight Zone.

SPOILER ALERT!!
Angel Heart -- "I know who I am!" scene. Just WOW!!!

For me there are few scenes as powerful as Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper in True Romance - the scene in the trailer.

Definitely two titans in the industry facing off as an unstoppable force vs an immovable object.
I would have to vote the ending scene in There Will Be Blood. Pretty ruthless look at how ethics, pride and faith are all moot when a person is desperate enough.

The ending of “The Sting”

This scene is classic. lol

Al Pacino in "And Justice For All". The final courtroom scene is unbelievable-- it's 8 minutes long but if you watch thru the end you will not be disappointed!

I would say the ending scene of "Sunshine" starting when he jumps out of the Icarus II spaceship to turn on the bomb going into the Sun. The music, his struggle, and visuals are perfect.

“Your gonna need a bigger boat”
“I’ll be back”
“Here’s Johnny”
