The scene where Mustang repeatedly incinerates Lust to death in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
The intro theme in Final Fantasy VII.

It give me chills every time...

It's the music that does it, man. It's the god damned beautiful music... *sniff*Casual Shinji said:
You have earned my eternal respect for referencing this scene.
OT:
A couple of mine would be:
- Jake Sully's speech near the end of Avatar, as he rallies the fallen Omaticaya to fight the humans.
- The Circle of Life opening of The Lion King.
- Seeing the city of Rapture for the first time.
- Captain Keyes' ultimate fate in Halo: Combat Evolved
- The scene in the loft in The Walking Dead. You know the one I mean.
Gah! How did I forget this? Yes! Every time!teqrevisited said:
The climax of the first Mass Effect was probably my favourite moment in gaming, so i'll go with that.
Great choice from my favourite album (in music). Honorable mentions go to Hard To Concentrate, which has really interesting guitar-play and similarly to Wet Sand, it also really picks off at the end.FirstToStrike said:
No matter how many times i hear it
Also many moments in games and films, most notably the end of Mass Effect 3 when Tali puts shepards name up on the memorial wall and the end of the dark knight rises when Alfred speaks at Bruce's funeral (gotta love Michael Caine). Two moments that make me choke back man-tears and send a severe shiver down my spine...

Oh right. Damn, I can't believe I forgot that scene.Legion said:
This movie was practically tailor made for me; It's got foxes, it's stop-motion, and it's directed by Wes Anderson. I bought the soundtrack as soon as I could after I first saw it.Proverbial Jon said:
A lot of people have mentioned Chaplain's speech in The Great Dictator, but I will mention it again. It deserves ALL the mentions.
And then, for whatever reason, the final racing sequence in Speed Racer. It's an objectively shit movie, but screw it, I will always love it.

Yep, it's confirmed, you're my new favourite person.Casual Shinji said:
The moment Ash earns his bandit hat and the way they proceed to escape from the farmers should be listed here as a definite "chills" moment. The whole feature is such a beautifully crafted, lovingly made piece of art and an absolute favourite of mine.
-When Lavos kills you and destroys the world of 1999. 'In the end, the future refused to change...' For that extra tingling, consider that this is the end of the natural life cycle of Lavos' species. After destroying the planet it was incubated in, it then sends its offspring to other planets to repeat the cycle.
-The end of Batman Begins.
-The Game Over sequence in Symphony of the Night.

Well the first that comes to mind is the one I have most recently seen (again) in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
another would have to be from Midnight Oil, it's actually the demo of their instrumental song called Bakerman. The demo has lyrics and sounds... eerie, like it's... well unfinished seems like a "duh" thing to say, but it's the best way I can find to describe it. It's rough, incomplete, and I love it.
When Alphonse confesses to Ed that he can't take the nights alone anymore. Shivers up my spine each time I've seen it.

During the climax of the original Vampire Hunter D anime, there's a sequence where D slashes at a large brazier to put out the fire, then leaps over it at Count Magnus Lee. The camera spirals around D midleap and something about the animation of that scene always impresses me. I was hoping to find a clip to post, but didn't find one.
Nothing in the world compares to hearing this on surround sound at the theater.
I went back to see the movie again almost entirely because of this.
And since I'm a Warhammer 40k fan, I have to post this.
Chills man, chills. Especially the pan out from the eyes of the Dreadnought.
Absolutely loving this thread by the way. One of my favorites in a LONG time.
EDIT: OH OH I THOUGH OF ANOTHER ONE
A different kind of chills entirely, but damn, it does it. The giggling in the background just makes it that much more disturbing.

Despite being the forgotten Bioware game, the moment you are betrayed in Jade Empire. Didn't see it coming at all and it perfectly turned the entire plot on its head. Fantastic every time I play it. Shame about the ending mind...
It's also just the charming little details, like how Ash gets a bandit hat... with stars on it. Or how when they're escaping Christopherson grabs Mr. Fox's tail and ties it to the antenna.Proverbial Jon said:
There's also the scene where the Fox family is being dug out and Mr. Fox starts running up the walls. And if you've ever seen a caged fox, that's what they do when they get spooked.
The entire movie was just sprinkled with these wonderful little moments.
Being English I have to say this gives my spine a gold old shudder (btw I am not a fan of Churchill I think for a large chunk of his political career he was an out of touch, opportunistic, aristo but in terms of reassuring a nation (which at the time thought it was nigh-untouchable and was possibly going to seek peace) he did manage to change that feeling into a we'll eventually win.
Also the end speech in The Great Dictator gets me every time, embedded further up in the posts
And of course 1984's O'Brien's speech about power (more it terrifies me)

Comebacks in fighting games always hits me.
The "never give up" theme gets to me, being someone who is awful at every fighting game I have ever tried my hand at.
Also, orchestral renditions of nearly any given video game track. Y'know, unless it was performed by an orchestra in the first place.
A crowd going nuts in the background is also a suitable replacement for the Rocky soundtrack.

When Andy escapes in the Shawshank Redemption, just the music, the lighting, how he laughs and smiles, get's me every time and I can't help but smile too with chills going down my spine. Great film.
