The end of Rocky 2 when Rocky shouts out to Adrian and she starts crying...…..always gets a tear from me.
Rocky's rant after Mickey leaves about how he's going to be flattened always gets to me. Likewise after he goes for his walk and comes back to Adrian saying he just wants to know wether or not he was a bum all along.The original film is so great, so steeped in poverty and the issues that surround it Rockys house looks like they just went out and hired a cheap place to live in. I love it.
Telling Mickey to do one:

Then, after all of the montages and improvements, his motivation and realisation that he doesn't have a chance:

This scene from John Huston's The Searchers, where John Wayne and Ward Bond wade across the creek. It gives me the shivers it is so beautiful.

I think I've seen it twice, so difficult to recall, but I still recall when Cap is beaten, shield is fked, he's bleeding and hurting and he grits his teeth and stands up to walk towards the enemy, I think it's just before the bit you say.The end of saving private Ryan as private Ryan is saluting the graves of those sent to save him
The matrix:
When Morpheus was captured by the agents and breaks out the handcuffs as neo is minigunning the agents before he jumps out the helicopter to catch him
Terminator 2 when John Connor is being chased on the dirt bike and Arnie jumps into the drainage ditch on the Harley,shotgun in hand
Also t2 when arnie sacrifices him self into the smelter and gives the thumbs up
“Warriors come out to play-eeeee”
So many more which I’m sure I’ll remember

The two moments that always spring to mind for me are from the same film.
Star Wars
It's 1977, i'm 10 years old and go to Leicester to see this on a big screen for the very first time and the bit where the Star Destroyer starts to fill the whole screen made me excited
but my all time favourite bit in a film
When the hatch door explodes and the Storm Troopers burst through firing.
In that 5 second shot i wanted to be a Storm Trooper
