There's some really fantastic visuals in this and really powerful shots. The gifs alone sold me on the film. My disappointment with the actual plot was immeasurable.Kaneda in Sunshine (2007):

Fun fact: Vasquez was played by the same actress as John Connor's foster mom in Terminator 2
Vasquez and Gorman in Aliens.
This definitely should count. GoddamnAre we accepting fake outs? If so, Toy Story 3
Not exactly what the OP is asking for but I feel like it's the same exact energy of everything else in this thread.
Hereditary:
Does Peter think he's going to die in this moment? No.
Does he wish he was actually dead? Probably.

And from Masters of Horror: Deer Woman
He and his partner have been searching for a creature tied to local legend and this dude BRINGS HER HOME WITHOUT REALIZING IT. His partner calls him and pretty much describes her, and you just see his face drop as he says over the phone, "...I'm the dumbest man alive..."

Dunkirk.
It's a powerful moment that feels even more tragic due to the heroism of the character and the fakeout "victory" of him successfully landing his plane after his landing gear jams. Nolan gets a lot of shit for the tonal issues of his recent films but Dunkirk really nails the bittersweet conclusion to his character.
Not a great movie, but Stanley Tucci in The Core has a great "I'm fucked" scene. The go in on this mission to restart the Earth's core (lol) and he has this gimmick of, like, narrating it all to a recorder as they go, to preserve it for the future or to use it in one of his lectures or whatever. He ends up trapped in a compartment they have to cut loose and keeps on recording until he realizes how stupid it is.

"Well, if this is it, old boy, I hope you don't mind if I go out speaking the King's."
"Now...about this pickle..."
Mfer was smooth as fuck! What a G till the end!
Super OOOOUF. He was fucked right there. He deserves everything coming his way. Sweet justice. He made me hate him in that movie (and interstellar).

True Romance
I don't know this one, so for a second I thought this was Bowser from Super Mario Bros.: The Movie, lol
Snoke in The Last Jedi, when he feels the lightsaber and he knows he's fucked, but he looks a bit confused and baffled, like he thought he was meant to die in the third film.
I didn't really care that much about his backstory, I appreciate RJ wanted to shake the formula up or it might get stale doing another Palpatine arch type..

oh
I actually didn't see this one coming. I thought Askua'd get some crazy magic/power at the last second and beat those Mass Prod. EVAs. This moment kinda made my jaw drop when I saw her arm split.Sooo, these immediately come to mind I guess:
End of Evangelion:
One of the greatest big budget "So bad it's good" movies out there.
cabin in the woods
the departed
Both great picks. I need to rewatch The Departed...
You always were an asshole Gorman.
Vasquez and Gorman in Aliens.
Not a movie, but in the Sopranos I thought Adriana's slow realization that she was *not* being taken to see her boyfriend in the hospital but was instead being driven out into the country to be murdered was haunting.
Travis and Asuka died ? I must have been remembering those films wrong…Sooo, these immediately come to mind I guess:
Taxi Driver:
End of Evangelion:
And Oldboy (though you don't understand what's going on until the scene finishes):
