Was with my mom in the theater for SPR. A veteran of the landings was in the theater that day and got a standing ovation before the movie started. Halfway during the beach landing he went out crying. I seem to recall a brief pause for the lights to come on to help him out. Shows you how impactful and realistic Spielberg made it.Ghost of Andrew Eaton said:The Porkchop Express said:

I remember seeing that in a theater and being in awe. I don't know know that I've had any similar experience since.
The D-Day landing in Saving Private Ryan was memorable as well.
we finished up basketball real early last night and my niece was in town visiting and we were trying to figure out a movie and we saw JP on Netflix and everybody agreed to it.The Porkchop Express said:

Another one...love watching the kids celebrate/having a sip of beer with their parents. Times were so much more fun back then...
This is a close second. When it opens up and roars, I was 19 and remember being scared of it in the theater because it was so real.citizenkane06 said:The Porkchop Express said:

Same movie, but different scene. When the T. rex escapes, I had never seen such realistic depictions of dinosaurs, and the suspense was also so good that it still gets my pulse up even though I'm not a 10 year old in a theater anymore.

First one that came to mind for me was "To the King!" from the Two Towers. Everything from the emotional impact of the scene, the visuals of the scene, and one of the best pieces of the score from a Trilogy with arguably the best score in history...
I posted this in the LOTR thread, but I love Eomer and the Rohirrim so much. That moment when the King makes one last ditch effort to give the women and children time to escape, embracing death. Then Gandalf arrives with Eomer, soon to be 2nd Marshall of the Mark, arriving with the loyalists of Rohan who seemingly rode through night and day to come to the aid of their King who had basically outlawed them weeks before while under the machinations of Saruman.
I just feel like so many who watch this view Gandalf as the hero, which he is; but overlook how much of a badass Eomer is to have done what he did. One of those changes from the book to the movie that I wholeheartedly get behind. It's scenes like this that are the reason myself and others are such massive fantasy fans:
