Meet John Doe, when Barbara Stanwyck gives her teary-eyed "don't jump" speech.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory when he hugs Charlie and gives him the Chocolate Factory.
(One thing that has always bugged me: Wonka pitched a fit when the fat kid fell in the chocolate river, but he seemed nonplussed when his Wonkavator smashed through the skylight in slow motion and showered the entire factory with enough broken glass to sustain a Whitesnake video, a Matrix sequel and a super badass leather-clad John Shaft window crash climax...unless it was candy glass, in which case it's all OK.)
The last episode of The Mary Tyler Moore show.
For a grotesque and fleeting moment in What's Opera, Doc, when Elmer experiences remorse.
When Cookie Monster shares his last cookie, because that is the ultimate sacrifice
The last verse of Born to Run.
