No, I don't mean the scary kids books. I'm talking about those moments in movies, sometimes in otherwise bad movies, that simply make the little hairs on the back of your neck stand up. And the best of these moments happen every time, even when you've seen it a million times.
Perhaps I'm more bumpledy than the other hairy, macho he-man types out there, but lots of movie moments do it for me.
It can be poignant, like the dance scene in "the Fisher King", or powerful, like Keanu flexing his muscles and causing ripples in reality itself in "The Matrix". It can be dramatic good, like the home run in "The Natural", or dramatic sad, like the red dress in "Schindler's List".
My favorites are those that salvage otherwise forgettable movies, like when the baglady wows the crowd after her makeover in "Blow Dry", or actual footage of heaven, from "Brainstorm" (though that scene doesn't work on tv, in the theater the screen suddenly doubled in size and the 5.1 stereo kicked in for the first time).
So, what are your favorite goosebump moments from the movies?
