Cutscenes can be memorable for many reasons, such as their emotional impact, their humor, their shock value, or their artistic quality. Some cutscenes are so iconic that they have become part of gaming culture and history.
Which one is burned into your memory?
Edit: please remember to add which game your cutscene is from. After all, we might just want to play it after your comment. 😉

@CosmicApe Offtopic: I have no idea what game this is, but this is (not literally) what Light Yagami said in Death Note, when he got the book and transformed into Kira.
It’s from Mass Effect, this is the character Mordin Solus catchphrase. CosmicApe is almost certainly refering to a (very good) cutsceen from one of the possible endings to the Tuchanka chain of missions in ME3.
“War … war never changes”. The ending to 1997’s Fallout, being turned away by the overseer after wandering the wasteland, still cuts deep today.
The entire opening to Bioshock had me scared to leave the bathysphere and begin the game.
That and the video where you are being captured and put into a vat of a green glowing substance.

Sora saving Kairi’s heart in Kingdom Hearts.
Also, although it’s not exactly a cutscene, the ending of Bioshock
not sure whether it counts but the ending to lisa the painful fucks me up to this day. the whole game is full of moments like it but the ending hits hardest
“Neptune One rocket… online.”
"“What is a wave without the ocean ? A beginning without an end ? They are different, but they go together. Now you go among the stars, and I fall among the sand. We are different. But we go…together.”
Goosebumps. Thank you, Subnautica!
The end of Half Life 2: Episode 2. An incredible ending to one of the best video game series of all time, I could.not.wait to see what they were going to do in Episode 3…
This is the one for me. I have to believe Half Life 3 is coming…
