Local Hero: Quite a few moments in this movie still do that to me, even if it is a little dated now. Mark Knoppfler's awesome music, great Scottish scenery, Northern Lights scene (It's gone red all over!!!!), final scene where Mac has to return to his cold apartment in Houston, pins up photos from Furness, looks at his seashells, and then you see/hear the phone ringing in the only phone box in the Scottish village. (It's making me shiver just writing about it.) One of my all time favourite movies.

The Dish: The Moon landing scene and the awe-inspired reactions of the people watching. On that theme,

Apollo 13: The moment when the capsule came through the atmosphere and could not communicate. The reactions of the people waiting to see if they survived and their reactions afterwards.

Besides that I have to agree with: About a boy, Shawshank, Wonder Years, Sports Night (absolutely amazing TV show), Master and Commander, Casablanca,

Last scene of Blackadder, the WWI season. (good call on that one, octothorp. Extremely poignant moment for a comedy.
