I was going to put Shane on my list, but you have it here. Good one.
For me, it's when WW sees Murron smiling at him while he's on the rack being quartered.
1. Harrison Ford https://moviechat.org/nm0000148/Harrison-Ford
2. Walt Disney https://moviechat.org/nm0000370/Walt-Disney
3. Bill Murray: https://moviechat.org/nm0000195/Bill-Murray

Thank you!
Well-said. For me, if that scene had any other music, it wouldn't be the same scene. The music opens the spigot on the waterworks of my eyes.
Also, the scene and its message/theme holds new personal significance for me as of about a week ago. I'm going to have to go the distance on a personal matter. Movies like Rocky are dress rehearsals for life.
The TV adaptation for The Ink Black Heart began filming this week in London. The Strike fandom is all abuzz. It has been confirmed that Robin's hair has returned to the trademark red gold! Here's an X post from the first day of filming. https://twitter.com/RGalbraith/status/1757812077140246550
Side note: I think Tom Burke looks heavier in the face on purpose because as the books progress, he loses weight. That will have to be demonstrated somehow. Maybe this is how. Speculation, though.
Another side note: It's not lost on the fandom that the tweet above was released at 12:01 AM on Valentine's Day. <3
Rocky (1976) -- The whole last 5 minutes, but really the movie as a whole. No other movie has more heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G40ji3nWHi0
Rocky II (1979) -- "...except for my kid being born...." https://youtu.be/ai-bBhw_XZo?t=38
The Manchurian Candidate (1962) -- the assassination scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwfFWXUEyfQ
Babe (1995) -- "That'll do, pig" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zHmeTeLgMY
Shakespeare in Love (1998) -- "Goodbye, my love. A thousand times goodbye" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrxIR2uja8w
Quantum of Solace (2008) -- Bond in Vesper's boyfriend's apartment. Not an expected choice maybe, but it makes me emotional. You can see Bond's rage and grief coming through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDsomYdPvTA
Life is Beautiful (1997) -- The final play of the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-13ScnosXAk
Cast Away (2000) -- "I always knew you were alive...." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYRnHQjuUA
The King's Speech (2010) -- The big speech. This scene never fails to reduce me to sobs. It is one of the most intense cinematically-induced emotional storms I've ever witnessed. It rivals any action movie for that on-the-edge-of-your-seat quality. I saw it in the theater three times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPLIw64rLJc
I'll probably think of more, but this is my definitive list.

6. The Donald https://moviechat.org/nm0874339/Donald-Trump
7. Ethel Merman - https://moviechat.org/nm0581062
8. Tony Bennett https://moviechat.org/nm0004746/Tony-Bennett

10. Cyndi Lauper - https://moviechat.org/nm0490980/Cyndi-Lauper
It's a good point you make that Perez kind of sucked all of the oxygen out of the series away from other characters. I found the story line with his daughter to never really make much sense plot wise. She was kind of just there I guess to prove he had a loving marriage and family life before his wife died.
I have always joked that the British detective series would end full stop if they couldn't pull the CCTV footage to solve cases. Of course anything set prior to CCTV is exempt. I think always relying on the CCTV can stifle creativity in the characterization and plot.
I agree about Sandy. I think he's underutilized. I thought they were going in a better direction with him a few seasons ago when he didn't seem as much the squeaky clean cop who always makes the perfect choices.
