My wife is watching Lost for the first time. She has no prior knowledge. She’s half way through Season Three. She’s really enjoying it.

My entire life currently revolves around being in the room when she watches this.

Anyway…

Impressed you could pick one moment there @Devon Malcolm, there’s definitely a few in Jaws.

There are, but I think that moment and its delivery is one of the most dramatically perfect in mainstream cinema history. In amongst the chaos, this quiet couple of moments that gives Quint substantial backstory and adds a layer to the main story, it's so good and the scene I always look forward to most in Jaws. It's been influential in ways that I think are largely forgotten about.

Report back when you do, it's on an "I am your father" level of shock if they're engaged with it.

Then maybe search wizard @Ronnie can find UKFF's own responses to back when it happened. Being on this forum as Lost unravelled was terrific. That and Big Brother 3-5... glory days.

I don't know whether this counts, but my first foreign holiday was a road trip around Germany during the 2006 World Cup. We had a weekend in Berlin before we flew back, and when I actually set out into the city on my own I got such a rush of excitement. Likewise when we were watching the Italy USA game on the Saturday night on a massive screen which was hanging from the Brandenberg Gate the atmosphere was electric. 

@FLips going back to your Smash Brothers excitement, Maximillian Dood totally losing his mind at the Cloud reveal is something I'll watch if I need a quick hit of dopamine.

They were an amazing few weeks. It was the first time the Germans had really celebrated their identity since reunification and it felt like the big Hoff himself was singing about freedom on every street corner.

It was a great trip. Soundtracked by Horny Like A Dandy, and the German supergroup of DJ Otzi and the Hermes House Band's cover of Three Lions/Fussball's Coming Home which was being played everywhere there was a fan fest taking place. Another of the highlights was ignoring the England Vs Trinidad & Tobago match while drinking margarita slush puppies in Hanover, and being interview by German radio in Kaiserslautern who wondered why my three English friends and I were supporting Mexico, Uruguay, Togo, and Japan respectively.

At 13, everything about Jurassic Park blew me away. The T-Rex scene in particular though still gets me every time. The absence of music, the darkness, the rain and what remain as some of the best special effects ever make this my ultimate movie moment.

The bit at 2min 50sec especially is a masterclass in the seamless transition between practical and CGI.

There's a bunch of stuff that comes to mind from film, TV and football etc. but the thing that really got me recently was this. 

I'm not arsed about Foo Fighters (they're fine), but when Taylor Hawkins starts absolutely leathering the drums while playing on this particular song in tribute to his dad...

Just the thumbnail is making me well up. I watch that video every time it comes up because fuck me, you can feel every one of those hits. Everything from 3:50 is just magical, you can see how much it means to him, the reassuring glances from Dave Grohl and then like you say, the sheer emotion as he batters the fuck out of that kit. Gets me every time.
