Spartacus. When they all stand up.
Rudy. The jersey scene.
The Kings Speech. The speech.
Shawshank when brooks almost kills Haywood to avoid getting released, when Andy escapes and when Red finds Andy on the beach.
The ending of American History X.
The ending of the notebook.
Saving Private Ryan when the weasel guy watches his friend die.
8 Mile. The scene when Rabbit puts the Falcon in his place at the rap battle.

yes. the knife scene with Adam Goldberg. that was a powerful scene that got me. you could feel his fear.
two I'd like to add.
Dead Poets Society. Saw it in the theatres as a young adult and it hit very strongly. If it wasn't for that movie, I may not have gone to Australia for a year.
I haven't watched it in 15 or 20 years, so have no idea how it's aged, but
Natural Born Killers is on my list.
I saw it in the theatre not knowing much about it. I can still remember clearly coming out of the theatre into the daylight, and how I felt.
it was very disturbing and thought provoking. blew my mind.
man Rodney Dangerfield nailed his small role in that one. and Woody, my god. going from a dumb bartender to Micky Knox?
he sure put to rest being typecast, that's for sure.
