In no particular order…
SPEED: The bus explosion. Just after the guy says to Keanu “Hey Jack, you’ve forgotten your muffins”, the one fluid motion of the action. Bus goes by, Jack goes to his car, camera moves round the car, car Jack and bus are in frame and the BOOM!

SPEED: The moment when Jeff Daniels’ character knows he is going to get blown up. There is the flicker of realisation, a millisecond where he looks like he’s mustering all the courage/ dignity that he can before BOOM!
FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: the movement of camera through the woods at the end with all the Orcs from Aragon to Boromir, in the same time, the reaction of the Hobbits when Boromir is shot down and they think “fu*k it, we’ll take these Orcs on”.
FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: The aerial shot of Arwen being chased by the Nazgul, always gives me tingles.
ALL LOTR FILMS: I think Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) is brilliant!!! At the end of FOTR when hes saying that he'll never leave Frodo's side, TTT when he's talking about having to go on and the strength/ goodness of people and in ROTK when hes carrying Frodo up Mount Doom. Basically any Sam moment at the end of the films and generally when he is crying. Heartbreakingly brilliant. I hope I can tell Sean in person one day that I thought, actor wise, he was the best thing in LOTR for me.
FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: sorry, I know there are loads, but I think its one of the best films. The whole breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, dinner... speech and then the flying apple.
GLADIATOR: EVERYTHING! But the lighting in particular when Maximus could chop of the other gladiator's head in the areana and he just stands there, bathed in shafts of light.
28 DAYS LATER: The Aeroplane. The subtly and the magnitude of what it means for the plot. Simplicity at its best.
GROSSE POINT BLANK: Dan Aykroyd running from the car towards the house. Always makes me giggle.
MASTER AND COMMANDER: Basically the whole film but its heart breaking when one of the crew commits suicide.
JARHEAD: I loved the whole philosophical edge to this film. What is a knife if it can’t cut anything… pointless. The bit when Peter Saaragard is told that Jake Gyllenhall and himself can’t shoot someone because the target is going to get bombed. His reaction, amazing!
There are more but I can’t remember them at the moment :)
