Thomas Crown Affair
Faye Runaway reads the telegram..'...or keep the car...', lots of tears, rips telegram which flutters away, and looks up to sound of airliner.
Change shot to TC adjusting shades, seated in said airliner heading to a well funded retirement.
Said to be Steve McQueens favourite movie.

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
?
If we're talking BSG then for me it has to be Starbuck - after taking some stick and being on a downer - reciting the list of every pilot lost in battle.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

The scene with Felicity Jones in Flashbacks of a Fool, where she comes into shot as the method of filming changes to filmed at twice speed then slowed down by half to give a brilliant atmosphere, fantastic piece of cinema.

Was just about to mention that one - got beaten to it by 8 years! 2:53 into this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au8cCvGk9eU
TV:
Babylon 5- Sheridans wife pleading to his sense of reason as Delenn cries to an old message or his own reasons, and then him choosing oblivion.
Londo Mollari realizing the truth behind the drath of his secret mistress still kills me. And when he chooses his own vilification and eternal damnation over the death of millions of his people. Or when G'Kar forgives him as he's making no sense and goinn full on fascist. Or when B5 finally dies.
Babylon 5 was full of shoddy sets and wooden acting. But when it hit home it did it with a sledgehammer on an speartip!
GoT:
The Red Wedding and the Mountain and the Viper. Deapite the steaming rot the show became, both were nigh on untoppable.
Filmwise-
Spock and Kirk after he's sacrificed himself for the crew.
Les Miserables- I Dreamed a Dream.
Downfall: the end when the Hitler Youth are being shot by the Soviet army.
Schindler's List- the red coat.

Anne Hathaway singing into the camera has to be the most moving piece of acting I have ever seen. Sublime.
A beautiful moment in Last Crusade is when Sean talks to Idy, 'Indiana? INdiana, let it go.' First time he calls him by his chosen name, it's a very small moment but it's a connection between dad and son.
I think also the moment the lil dino is saved by his dad in the Good Dinosaur. Another parental moment and that familial bond strengthened.

And Kirk's funeral speech too, a great bit of acting IMO. And a super film, stands on its own outside of the genre too (although the back story is worth knowing tbf).
k, I do watch the opening and closing ten minutes though when it's on.)Wrath of Khan though, it's a level above and my fave. Kirk and co are always enjoyable in the series too, can't stand the rest of trek though

I have heard that fans of the musical don't like this, but I can't fathom it. She jumps from despondent to nostalgic to hopeful to bitter regret to hopeless faith to brutal reality to despair so seamlessly and all in the space of a minute. If it doesn't move you the problem must surely be with you.Anne Hathaway singing into the camera has to be the most moving piece of acting I have ever seen. Sublime.
