Some minor spoilers throughout.

Found pictures for some of the actual moments, some not so much and are just from the flick. Then I got videos for other moments where context isn't exactly key or doesn't spoil too much.

These are the moments in cinema that will always be stuck in my memory. These are the ones that stood out and made me go HOLEE SHIT in one way or another. These are my favorites.

List constantly added to as I think of more and more and more.
