The other ROTK moment that gets me is Theodin's battle cry at Pelenor Fields, it's a bit less optimistic than Aragorn's:
"Forth! Down fear of darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day... and the sun rises! Ride now... Ride now... Ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending! Death!"
Can you tell I've got a thing for pre-battle speeches?
All Roy Hobbs Baseball bits in The Natural
- when he strikes out the whammer
- when he hits his first practice ball
- when he hits the final winner.
- and all the others!
When Secretariat wins the Belmont by 31 lengths in Secretariat
Most recent one I can recall is the cast of Les Miserable singing 'do you hear the people sing' at the barricades, even had the lads sitting near me singing their heads off.
Empire of the Sun, as young Jim salutes the young Japanese pilot who on his first flight ultimately plummets to his death, while the haunting Suo Gan is playing in the background, its a very, very moving scene!
Totally with Geeza Brake on "Glory" it has what is Matthew Broderick's stand out performance of his career, Morgan and Denzel just being generally brilliant, Ed Zwick Directing, great story and set pieces, and a very emotional score. I always recommend it to people, and none of them have ever watched it and said they didn't enjoy it. Won Denzel his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor aswell. great movie.
The scene in "Cabaret" in the cafe where the handsome young blond boy sings "tomorrow belongs to me" - the crowd join in - and you see the Nazi symbol on his arm (?) at the end.
Gladiator - Maximus speech "father of a murdered son etc........"
Madame X - where her son realises its his mother in the dock.
Stand By Me - where the writer updates at the end that his friend Chris Chambers was stabbed and killed.
Shawshank - the aria over the prison yard.
The Exorcist - where Ellen Burstyn says "that thing upstairs isint my daughter"
and lastly and Im embarrassed to say this - my guilty pleasure
The scene at the end in Dirty Dancing where Johnny makes the speech and they start dancing to "Time of my LIfe".....................jeezuz corny but I luvvit!:D

Yes. Just hearing the start of John Williams theme as Clark realises what's going on gets me going.
Yes that was the part I was watching recently - it reminds me a bit of ?Henry V and Laurence Olivier.
Rocky when Rocky calls out for Adrian after the fight.
Schnindler's List when at the end of the movie you see the real life survivors place stones on Schindler's grave. Or when he cries right near the end.
The Journey of Natty Gann where she finds her father but think she loses him again only for him to come around the corner.
the Shawshank Redemption - Dufresne locks himself in the warden's office and plays that beautiful aria to the other prisoners in the yard.
The Incredible Journey. Old Bodger survived after all!
also found this when scouring Youtube and it broke my heart a little.

In fact, Glory stirs the blood from start to finish.
