I just wanted to find out if there was a scene in a movie that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up. And i'm not talking about scary moments. For example, these are the ones that stand out for me:
Goodfellas. Joe Pesci in that awesome "funny" scene.
Vanilla Sky. The end scene on the roof of the building. Beautiful
Return of the King. The speech by Theoden and ride of the Rohirrum
Seven. the whole head in the box scene near the end!!
True Romance. When Clarence confronts Drexall.
Star Wars. the first time i saw That " thats no moon its a space station" scene
And probably my personal favourite and one which gets me every time
Gladiator. The scene in the arena when Maximus turns his back on the emperor, then turns around to face him and gives THAT classic speech. Fantastic!!
Theres more i cant think of right now but what are your thoughts?

The only tingly moment i can remember is in LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring's opening when Sauron appears on the battlefield.

Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country
Captain Sulu gave me the shivers when he stood up and yelled "Shields!!" when Praxis blew up.
Also the scene where this diologue occured -
Captain Hikaru Sulu: In range?
Helmsman Lojur: Not yet sir.
Captain Hikaru Sulu: Come on, come on.
Helmsman Lojur: She'll fly apart!
Captain Hikaru Sulu: *Fly her apart then!*
I thought they should have made a movie with him and his crew after that.

YES!!!! They sooooo should have!
On that note:
When Kirk screams "KHAN!!!".
and Spock's death scene, every. single. time.
In First Contact when Picard give his "they assimilate entire worlds and we fall back speech." One of the rare moments you see him look so vunerable and out of control but still commanding.
Also:
The first time Trinity jumped the roof in the Matrix.
Kusanagi vs. the Tank in the orignal Ghost in the Shell.
The lift off and reentry scenes in Apollo 13.
The final charge in Glory.
more to came later....

I've gotten the tingly thing on the back of my neck so many times, I wouldn't know where to start.
A recent powerful one that comes to mind is in "Crash" when the little girl is running to get in front of the gun that is about to shoot her dad. I'm getting the tingly thing now typing this.

Aliens had some great moments. The part where the marines are barricaded in the room and the sensors show that the aliens are in the room and they can't see them, only to find out they are in the ceiling. Also, right after Ripley rescues Newt and they stumble across the nest and it gets all quiet. They slowly turn around and get their first glimpse of the Queen. Awesome scene.
Tombstone : The final standoff between Doc Holliday and Johnny Ringo.
Arachnophobia: The final scene with the queen spider and Jeff Daniels
King Kong: The insect pit scene and Kong vs 3 T-Rexes.
Star Wars Episode I: Darth Maul vs Qui Gon and Obi Wan.
Jaws: The shark's first appearance where Brody says "your gonna need a bigger boat''. Also Robert Shaw's USS Indianapolis scene.
Batman(1989) : The first appearance of the batmobile and when Batman uses that remote control voice thing and makes the batmobile stop inches in front of him. Also when Joker pulls the long gun from his pants and shoots down the batwing.

American Beauty - Three scenes. The scene where Ricky shows Jane the video of the bag. The part where Lester's wife (I forgot her name) comes home and rolls down the car window and you see the door illuminated in red...god that is such an awesome shot). The ending.
To Kill A Mockingbird - The scene in the court room where Atticus is closing (I think that's what it's called). Man Gregory Peck was ****ing awesome in that.

Carnage mentioned Scent of a Woman above and i have to ditto that one

When we first see Davey Jones in POTC: DMC
Man, I was on the edge of my seat when that occured. Davy is truly a marvelous piece of work. In due time Jones will be remembered as one of the most awesome looking villains ever.

its been metioned above but jurassic park definatly had a couple of those moments for me. i remember that there wasnt much footage of the dinosaur effects shots released in the run up to the movie's opening. So i was probably expecting quite a bit stop go animation! When I saw that first dinosaur i just couldnt believe my eyes. And by the gasps, neither could the rest of the cinema. Then when the t-rex rolled on the scene I nearly choked on my popcorn!!
