"How could I forget you - you're the only person I know."

I love this line from The Bourne Identity.  Me and Quentin watched this movie last night because the sequel is getting ready to come out.  I really liked it.  I almost jumped out of my skin though when that first assassin came through the window.  There are so many profound moments in movies.  I love the exact time when something happens on screen and all of a sudden goosebumps just spring up all over.  Like on The Natural when he hits that final ball into the lights, and the place comes alive with fireworks.  And the music fits so well.  Another moment is in An Affair To Remember, when Cary Grant comes to her apartment and realizes that she is crippled.  And I love the part in Return of the King toward the end when the four hobbits are standing there, and everyone bows down to them.  They just have this innocent look on their faces like, "What did we do?"  And then (since I mentioned AATR) in Sleepless in Seattle when Tom Hanks and his kid come back for his stuff, and there is Meg Ryan, "Annie".  Another one is when Prince Charming (Richard Gere) comes back for his Pretty Woman with the opera blaring out, and Julia Roberts looks out her window, and there he is.  She had said earlier, "I want the fairy tale," which is exactly what she got, and what I got were goosebumps.  Well, I could go on and on.  Remember the Titanic finally tilting and sinking into the ocean?  And what about when John Wayne is telling Jimmy Stewart who really shot Liberty Valance?  Great moments.  Feel free to add any of your favorites.
