[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

My Cousin Vinnie - when Marisa Tomei is on the witness stand
Love Actually - when Hugh Grant talks to the portrait of Maggie Thatcher
The Blind Side - any time Sandra Bullock is on the screen

[KanyesVest]

Out of Sight - the scene in the boot of the car outside the prison . Actually, pretty much any scene from that film.

[HeartsTrumpDiamonds]

Bridesmaids - when the main character who used to own a cake shop takes hours to make the most beautiful little cupcake (seems sacrilegious to call it a cupcake, that's how gorgeous it is) and sits and bites into this lonely little cupcake in her lonely kitchen. Vair poignant.

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

Hearts

yes, Marisa Tomei on the witness stand! plus the deer bit. aahhh the whole film is awesome anyway. love Pesci in it (discrediting the old lady - arf arf )

Love Actually - Colin Firth "Buenita Aurelia" speech. so lovely

[foslady]

Casablanca - we'll always have Paris......(swoon)

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

Bridesmids - when she taunts him to arrest her driving in the car back in front... I laughed so much

[OrlandoWoolf]

Atonement - the Dunkirk scene. About 5 minutes of continuous tracking.

Railway children - Daddy, my Daddy.

Dambusters - the final scene when Guy Gibson and Barnes Wallis discuss the raid, he walks away and the music starts.

[championnibbler]

The French Connection - subway scene with Popeye Doyle and the Frog.

The Shawshank Redemption - the very end when Andy reunites with Red .
12 Angry Men - When Henry Fonda's character says "I want another vote".

[tarashill]

In The Sound of Music when the captain joins in singing Eidelweiss.

[vienna1981]

Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Indiana Jones kills the Arab swordsman with a single, well-aimed bullet.

The final scene in Point Break where Johnny (Keanu) releases Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) to go surfing one last time in the 30 year storm on Bells beach, Australia. "I'm not gonna paddle to New Zealand" and "He's not coming back". Fantastic.
