Answer 1

OOH, here's mine in no particular order...

Man on Fire (When Crisy [Denzel Washington] is talking to Daniel a.k.a. La Voz [the voice] and La Voz says "How much do you want?" Then Crisy just SNAPS [getting excited right now] and shoots off the fingers of one of his hostages with a shotgun and goes berserk and he says "I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, NO I WANT YOU." OOOh one of thee most intense moments ever. All that to save a kidnapped little girl.

My other moment is in the movie Ali.
The moment where he is fighting George Foreman and he sees that he is getting tired and then he finally makes his move and the moment he makes his move and beats the s*** out of him and this music starts to play and it totally did the moment justice and just made me tingle all over, then he finally knocks out foreman and it was just a GREAT moment. Foreman is unable to answer the 10 count and everything is in slow motion and Ali throws his hands in victory high in the air, GREAT moment.

Answer 2

"Rebecca"with Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine
Judith Anderson as Mrs.Danvers...steals the show in the moment when Joan is despondent and Mrs Danvers begins to talk to her...by the open window.... Chilling!

And the end of the movie and the house is ablaze...and you spot the lone figure in the house quietly staring back at Joan and Olivier...Chilling

In the original Manchurian Candidate with Lawrence Harvey and Angela Lansbury....the mother has lost her son and she begins the speech of how she hates what has been done to him but she is committed and this is what has to be...and she finishes the speech and kisses him and the scene fades on the kiss...and the hair was just standing up on the nape of my neck...chills.

In the "Ghosts in the Darkness" with Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas...the first time the Lion drags the guy out of the tent deposits him in the field...looks at him... then rips him apart...no words...just no words...

then later on in the film after you realise that the lion has done the same thing again...and whoit has taken...and why...

chilling.

then there is Val Kilmer and Deniro and Pacino in "Heat"...Kilmer's character comes back for Ashley Judd...and the cops are waiting for him...and all Ashley has to do is identify him...and the cops will give her immunity and keep her son out of foster care...that scene for me is the most powerful in the movie...chilling because it was not expected...hoped for...but not expected...
beautiful.

In "AI" when the mother starts the car and starts driving off and he is banging on the window and says to her...

I think in all the years I have gone to the movies I have never seen an audience react so vocally to a scene. devastating!

there are so many...

Answer 3

opening battle scene of Gladiator, and the ending as well. There's others as well, I can't think of them. Oh, many parts in Blackhawk Down, especially the beginning and when the soldier dies towards the end when the medic fails to stop the artery from bleeding out. Thin Red Line, when the American soldier is surronded by the Japanese and they got that song from the villagers singing in the background. And of course, Braveheart when William Wallace dies. The speech he made before one of the big battles was also one. Any Given Sunday Al Pacino's Peace with Inches speech.
