Ultimate movie goosebump moment

[Hector]

People can say What they want about that Flick...
But there is No Greater Live Action Scene of What could Superman Actually Do ..., Than that Scene right there. It is my Favorite to Date Geek Moment..., ever since I 1st saw it.




That was Brutal to say the Least ..., and that whole Part of the Movie Sucked Big time..., That was a True W-T-F Were they thinking Moment, on all counts. The Most Powerful Man on Earth ..., ***** Whipped when the Planet needed him Most ..., with little Pussies Dancing around his head, as if they were Birds.

A few moments come to mind (but there are more):

1. The queen Alien is just about to snatch Newt and out comes Ripley is a binary load lifter screaming "Get away from her you *****!"

and before that in the same movie you had Ripley and Newt preparing to die on the crumbling power station when the drop ship comes into frame.

2. When the injured and dying Darth Vader finally made a move to save Luke from the Emperor in ROTJ.

3. The loving and slow reveal of the brand new Enterprise in TMP

4. Forrest Gump finds Jenny in the crowd of the 1960's Washington D.C. Vietnam War protest and the whole crowd cheers when they hug in the reflecting pool.

5. The scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when Indy opens a can of whoopass on the guard that was whipping the kid slaves and then releases them.

6. When Superman saves the plane in Superman Returns and shows that he's back to the stadium.

7. The Dinosaur/Kong fight in Peter Jackson's King Kong.

What specific scene inspired you to the point of your forearms tingling with goosebumps and your chest inflated with pure joy and emotion? I've got a small list.

Superman The Movie - His reveal scene with the helecopter. John Williams heroic theme backing his debut is simply inspirational. I have never seen a more heroic moment in cinema except...

Superman 2 - When he rolls up on the Daily Planet to challenge Zod. Again, his theme music is timed perfectly and brings the scene to an almost tears of joy inducing moment. The rest of the film is pretty rough, but those few minutes are burned onto my soul.

THe Great Dictator - Charlie Chaplin's ending speech/monologue is awe inspiring in it's truthfulness and sincerity. His delivery was perfection. His words still ring true today and are inspirational. It was a strange moment in a modestly amusing film, but one that will be remembered after seeing it. Youtube it sometime and see what I mean.

Wow.. Nice reminder. I've been in the Army for over 23+yrs now, and it still chokes me up.

There are many but the one that popped into my head (and hasn't been mentioned yet either) was from Star Trek VI.
It's the scene where Captain Sulu is trying to get the USS Excelsior to the peace conference in time, flying at maximum warp. He anxiously blurts "Come on, come on!", wanting the ship to go faster. His pilot responds, "She'll fly apart" to which Sulu snaps back, " FLY HER APART THEN!".

That was Darth Sidious.

Geez! That's what I get for typing too quickly. I should have my STAR WARS fan membership card REVOKED for that!

EXCELLENT choice! I LOVED that part!

Yep, I'm with you on that one, good choice!


And needless to say the 1978 Superman movie has many goosebump moments for me as well. The scene that really gets me is when Superman finds Lois' dead and he just can't accept it and freaks out, culminating with that massive scream of agony as he flies off. I know some might find that scene cheesy and the visual effects weren't the greatest perhaps, but the emotional agony he lets out there is powerful, even when I saw it as a kid it moved me.

Christopher Reeve was the best, man.

Mine will always be when General Zod gets his knuckles squished by Chrsitopher Reeve as he's kneeling before him and then the songs kicks in.

[YoungOnce]

At the end of It's A Wonderful Life, when the whole town, friends and family show up.

"No man is poor who has friends..."

I just got goosebumps reading your post and remembering the scene in my head.
