Wow.
My thread from 2011, nice revival !
I'll go away and think of some more, because so many great films in the 8 years since I started this !
[b] Can we do a rule reminder:
1) It has to be a moment, we're talking 5 seconds maximum
2) You have to describe it here, but not drone on about it
3) You can't rubbish another man's moment. Comment on it, but no opinionated "You're wrong" stuff.
4) No Nick Cage films are allowed, my thread my rules

Interstellar (2014)
Cooper (McConaughey) sits through the stored video messages from his family at home; realising that in the hours he has been off the spacecraft, 23 years has passed on Earth and he has missed out on his young family's entire childhood, and he will never see them again.
Shot from a 3rd person perspective with McConaughey looking down the camera.
No father (perhaps no human with a pulse) can watch that without it stirring the soul. Nolan is a cinematic genius
Edited: Ok spookily whilst I was typing this, Legend83 has submitted the same scene! Great minds !

Nolan is a genius but in the same film gave us one of the best and most powerful scenes (as described by both of us above) but also the worst - the reunion scene was completely ruined for me by not just ageing Jessica Chastain, instead they use some old woman who looks nothing like her!!
Not cinema but TV - sopranos had some beautiful moments - tony killing the informant in witness protection and then tucking his sick daughter into bed.
The Chernobyl roof scene
James Bond walking along the rooftop in Spectre (shame the rest of the film was dire)
ET bikes across the moon
Schindler’s list - girl in the red coat
Saving private Ryan - the tension building on the landing craft right before the men go into battle
The thin red line - dying men in the tall grass, the peace and serenity before the lights go out
Basic instinct - that scene
Unforgiven - Munny becomes his old self

Brave, when the daughter realises she is about to lose her mother, chokes me up summat rotten.
Battlestar Galactica; when the cylons know that Adama has returned and it's electric (getting that feeling as I type) and then they realise he's tricked them with drones....and then the Galactica turns up! Absolutely wonderful.
from the next episode, when the Galactica is on the verge of being destroyed and all hands killed...and then something turns up, the way the scene is layed out is perfect, wonderful art/technical direction.
