Housepets!

Movie, Book, Comic, Song, Games anything. The greatest, most powerful moments in any medium you can think of.

Personally, I think-
Movies: I don't watch many, but... as an example, the "Why so serious?" scen from Dark Knight
Book: From Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, hands down for me. "Alright, fine, I'll go to hell then."
Comic: ....not all that sure XD Something from here, I'd say, https://www.housepetscomic.com/2010/07/ ... ful-house/ the start of this strip was pretty good.
Song: The entirety of "O' Danny Boy"
Game: ...errr..... xD AC2, the death of Ezio's family. Things got serious right there.
TV: The ending of the Scrubs episode, "My Lunch"

Movie: The opening of Up.
Book: The courtroom scene from To Kill a Mockingbird
Comic: I don't read a lot of print comics, so I'm not working with a very big pool when I say it'd probably be at the end of Death Note when Light is dying.
Song: There's no way I can narrow this one down to one. I'm not even going to try.
Video game: Watching the princess get rescued in Braid.

In games mine is probably in metal gear solid 3 when the player is forced to finish off The Boss in the final boss fight.

The climax of the matirx is probably my favourite cinema moment.

There are too many awesome moments in books to count.

Game: In SW: Knights of the Old Republic when you find out you are Revan. Probably the most jaw dropping moment in a game.
Book: In Cryptonomicon, when the protagonist figures out the guy shooting arrows at them in a minefield is none other than a crazy lawyer who wrongfully sued him back in school. (The book is so much more than that, go read it)
Music: (TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF) The ending of Cats in the Cradle "and as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me, My boy was just like me". That line just makes me tear up at the idea of that kind of behavior repetition.
Movie: (ALSO TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF) The cast of Princess Bride. Such good character acting, from "Inconceivable" to "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die", and even the grandfather and grandkid, they all make that movie. It's not a moment, but its too good to pass up.

Game: In Final Fantasy VII when Aeris dies. That was so sad. >:
Book: Series of Unfortunate Events, when they're pushed down an elevator shaft.
Music: Ah, I'm not too sure. I don't listen to lots of music.
Movie: Ice Age, when you think Diego dies but then he comes back.

Game: Bioshock 2. Where the player is forced to kill your only real friend, whom seemed like he was gonna betray you at any second. He was loyal until the end, and still tried helping you after he lost control of his body. The fact you are expecting his to betray you just makes you feel like a bad person. I swear, my heart dropped when I played it. The actor gives a great performance, the music is pefect. Mostly, It just had me thinking "There has to be another way"

Music: Dragonforce. I can't really pick a fav'. They all speak to me on so many levals!

Movie: I love the battle scene at the end of "tales of the past 3". Also some great lines. I was saddened by the ending, but it was great.

TV: Red vs blue. It'll do for an internet series I guess. Anybody who's seen the latest battle scene knows just how awesome it is.

Movie: The beginning of Resident Evil Extinction. The post apocalyptic/ road warrior theme was sick. I could think of more meaningful movie moments, but my mind is drawing a blank at the moment...
Music: Listen to the Octavarium album by Dream Theater. The entire album ties together in so many rediculous ways, and the end is fantastic. I also really enjoy Close Your Eyes to Die With the Sun by M83.
Book: I'm going to cheat here a little bit since I dont read books that much: The dance scene in Teh Brawler's A Spark from the Matches.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

From Chad Kroeger's "Hero":

"Someone told me that love would all save us.
But how can that be?
Look what love gave us.
A world full of killing, and blood-spilling, that
world never came.

And they say that a hero can save us.
I'm not gonna stand here and wait.
I'll hold on to the wings of the eagles.
Watch as we all fly away."

Song. I thought of 1 for Dragonforce. "Inside the winter storm". All because of 8 words. It's just 1 wasted man, in 1 wasted land. It just feels so... Cold...

*coughs*

Be nice.

Besides, does it being terrible live make a studio version of a song any less powerful?

Personally, I find that they have almost no musical sense (most of their songs seem like a bunch of elements thrown together with no sense of how they'd compliment eachother) but I admit that they do have some technical skill.

Anyways, back on topic?

Have you seen them live? I've seen them live. I thought they were awesome. And when I saw them I didn't' even know who they were.

No, but I was just saying that Dubiosity's allegation doesn't mean anything in regards to Fourtyfourrzeronmten's statement.

Sorry for continuing the tangent.

Movie: The beginning of Reservoir Dogs when they are talking about the nature of tipping.
Game: In Fable II when your dog takes a bullet for you and dies. I almost cried...almost
Music: The song "Nemo" by the band Nightwish. It's so elegant.
TV: On House when Chase, Cameron, and Wilson (the original supporting cast) all leaves. This was also the JTS moment sadly.

movies: Toy Story 3's climax and ending scene
that was the most sad, happy and beautiful way to finish a movie
Love Actually
this movie was just perfectly done in every way i could think of, one of the few romantic movies i enjoy
The opening to Up, i was depressed after that
The ending to Wall-E, i was honestly scared that Wall-E was going to die, i was just about to burst into tears, and it didn't help when he lost his memory.

everything: My favorite things are when they fill you with absolute happiness, especially after something incredibly tragic. It just shows that no matter what happens to us we can always find something that will make us happy.


trying to remember all these moments has gotten me very sad now

thanks for that

The best moments in life for me are when I get to have a deep conversation with someone, about anything. It just excites me that someone's willing to ask the big questions, and to not verbally destroy those who disagree.

I consider "Big Yellow Taxi" to be one of the best songs in music history.
For those you not aware that's the one where they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

In the movie Blood Diamond when Danny Archer calls Maddy Bowen while he's dying of a bullet wound and says "I'm excatly where I'm supposed to be."

Song: So Cold by Breaking Benjamin
Show me how it is, it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfy an empty inside
Well, that's alright, let's give this another try

Song: Are You Ready by AC/DC

After the intro on guitar, the band says "Are you ready" 4 times. However, the 1st and 3rd time, the whole band says it except the lead singer, Brian Johnson. The awesome moments are the 2nd and 4th time, when Brian shouts "Are you ready" with them!

Alex wrote:Song: Are You Ready by AC/DC

AC/DC's entire repertoire is Awesome.
My Best Musical Moment is probably seeing "A whole lot of Rosie" live. AC/DC put on a great show.
Nothing beats a 50 foot inflatable woman riding a fire breathing steam train!

Book: Pretty much all of 'Perks of Being a Wallflower'
Comic: The ending of 'Love Hina'

Movie: "The Pursuit of Happyness" when he gets hired by the company and starts tearing up. Gets me every time.
Book: "The Pilgrimage" by Paulo Coelho. The entire book, really.

Song: "Everlong" by Foo Fighters. Always sends shivers down my spine.

Video game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularit ... eo_game%29
Book:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Storie ... y_Bradbury Contained everything I ever needed to become a writer.

Personally- When I was at a 2-acre playground called st.Kilda and there was this spinning pushy thing and each time a kid went round a kid who wasn't on it punched him. As soon as I saw it when he pulled back his arm to punch I caught it. The kid on the spinning thing was ecstatic with laughter.
movie- The point in the matrix original at the end when Neo realizes he can fend off the agents and starts doing it with one hand.
song- Probably thee entirety of "Cooler than me" by Mike Posner.

I can only think of two for now, but I'll go with

Song: "Baba yetu, yetu uliye. Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina..."
