A Nightmare before Christmas: Opening and Making Christmas.
This is probably only me liking good ol' (over used?) self sacrifice.
Robocop (3)
When the bad guys has alot of electric weapons shooting at Robo so hes down to 10% operational and he still gets "Primary Objective: Protect civilians" on the hud. Then he crawls up to a unconsious civilian protecting him/her while being slowly shut down by the baddies.
Starship Troopers 2
When they started shooting for the first time and I realised how crappy it was as every one said.
Aliens 4
As a alien sneaks into a escape pod filled with humans just as it launches *brrr*

Just reading through the wikipedia page of Red Dwarf and reminded of another moment... The episode where Queeg takes over the ship, and towards the end Holly gets "deleted". It's quite a sad scene, pretty good writing as well for a show that revolves around mainly ridiculous plots (and yes I do like Red Dwarf). Even though the moment is ended quite quickly, it's still sad.
For something that's actually from a musical/movie, I'm totally taken by "Music of the Night" from Phantom of the Opera:

Independance Day, when you see the alien ship hovering over NYC for the first time. I don't think I'd seen anything before that quite matched the awesomness and hugeness of what was on screen at that moment.
One of these days I hope to look up to the sky and see something of such a size hovering in the air (in the same way that bricks don't <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->). I actually had a dream once when I was small that such a thing happened, though I can only guess it was a dream. I don't actually remember dreaming it, it's one of those weird memories that feels like it actually happened...
That scene in Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith when.... JUST KIDDING!! HEHE!
Um, probably the scene that made me tingle the most the first time I saw it was in Matrix when Neo got up out of his processing chamber, pulled the tube out of his mouth and looked around. Man, I was pretty stunned.
Yeah that was definately a 'cool' moment. The initial training program where Morpheus explains to Neo what's going down in the world was just as powerful too, where you get to see the fields of babies and the 'real' world some more.
------------------ To be honest though, I haven't had a <u>true</u> catharsis since the day I realized that I would never have one. There have been times when I thought; Wow! Now that was bloody brilliant. I've even had that "shiver down your spine" sort of moment, but it wasn't something that made me think differently. And that has more to do with the musical score for me. If the music is powerful, I could be left crying at the middle of an episode of Barney because little Johnny can't find his stuffed animal. I'm just sad that way.
Am I disillusioned with today's movies?
Aren't there some pretty darn good ones?
Do I think I'm cool just because I used catharsis?
All these questions and more will be answered on the <i>next</i> episode of Cold-NiTe Post Z!
:: EDIT :: I second what Asal said. I ended up renting Boondock Saints 8 times to see with different groups of friends. I never totaled the amount of rentals in my head even until after the fact. What a waste.
Forgot, gonna have to second Boondock Saints as it is stated: One of the best movies.
I suggest any who don't know what we're talking about go ahead and rent it (preferably buy it, because you'll save money that way). It's a worthwhile thing to see. Just trust me.

-The very ending.
Noir (the ending was so awesome and sad at the same time)
Transfomers (has been mentioned before) when optimus dies I was like NUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
Interview with a Vampire (Fire scene in paris, that was awesome)
I can think of lots of episodes from the infamous DBZ... but everyone laughs at me. Hehe.
Other then that.. I am out of ideas now that has made me go "ooooh ahhhhh"
That whole movie was great, imo. One scene that really struck was when Scout finally met Boo (was his real name Aurthor? I forgot, shame on me) Radley. It was just so nice.
Pi: The revelation.
Requiem for a Dream: Marion throws up.
