The moment when Jean Louise is formally introduced to Boo Radley in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Great pick, vta.
I don't watch many horror movies, but these moments made the hair on the back of my neck stand up ... or jarred me a little.
-- In "Field of Dreams," when Ray drops Terrance Mann off at his apartment and is about to drive off, he makes a u-turn and his headlights are pointed right at Mann (played by James Earl Jones), and he is just standing there looking into the headlights of Ray Kinsella's VW van and he says, "Moonlight Graham!" Also, when Ray's daughter first announces that "there's a man on the baseball field," and they see the ghostly image of Shoeless Joe standing under the lights.
-- The moment in "Lonesome Dove" when Jake Spoon spurs his own horse in the hanging scene. The reaction of Gus and Call is extremely intense and well done. Robert Duvall said when they filmed that scene, that the first time they did it, he didn't react at all. But something clicked the second time. He said it actually shook him when he saw it and you can tell.
-- All of the execution scenes in "The Green Mile." Actually, there were a lot of scenes in that movie that were striking.
