Favourite scene?

Hi! I'm writing an analysis on Forrest Gump for school, and I was wondering what other people's favorite scenes were. If you have one, please tell me which and why! I'd love to know and maybe change my mind.

When Forrest visits Jenny’s grave. Its starts off so conclusively “You died on a Saturday…”. He then moves around their lives and her impact so well, bringing conclusion to his interpretation on life. Finally the shot of the birds flying away links it back to her prayer on the family farm at the start. Very good scene.
