The final episode of MASH.

Radar's announcing Colonel Blake's death in MASH.

Gandalf's vs the Balrog.

 

I just finished watching the TV Series Scrubs. Well, actually I haven't watched the season 9 yet, anyway. The final moment in S9 when JD has this fantasy about what his life would be like after leaving Sacred Heart - "Why wouldn't life live up to my fantasy for once?". After binge watching that show, that line felt really strong to me.

 

Legend of Korra - Avatar Wan vs Vaatu

The moment when Wan unlocks the Avatar state gave me the same chills I got when I first saw Aang do the same.

 

I love that scene! I can watch an entire show about Bartlet and Charlie just bantering. They have some of the best interactions in the entire series.

 

Public service / public information ads aren't generally known for this sort of thing; they tend to be rather heavy-handed and ameteurish, after all. Still, I've watched a lot of these over the years, and have seen a few with some poignancy.

Like this one from the 80s about the Troubles. Or this anti-speeding ad from Australia.

 

Yeah, in my opinion, that scene is the perhaps the best thing posted in this thread. It's brief and genuine. No bullshit.

 

GoT - Season 3 (Dracarys)

 

Well, there are quite a few moments from 24.

Ryan Chappelle's death scene is tremendous.

There are a few other scenes that fit the description, but it's tough to find scenes from 24.

Others have posted my two favorite scenes from Scrubs: Ben Sullivan's death and the final moments from My Lunch.

In film, one thing that always gets me is Jack Nicholson calling the game One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest.

 

Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan) singing "Chandelier" on Selfie. It's probably the moment that turned a lot of critics around on the show even though that didn't do enough to stop its cancellation.

The ending to Looper where Young Joe sees the bad future and decides to change it. It's foreshadowed pretty heavily throughout but it's shot incredibly well.

Believe it or not, two from Transformers: Dark of the Moon:

• Laserbeak eliminates the loose ends. This may be the single best sequence of shots Michael Bay has ever done.
• The Decepticons Attacking Chicago.

Here's one from The West Wing that I can't find a video for: Leo learns that Charlie Young figured out the President's medical condition from the episode Bad Moon Rising. The later scene between Charlie and Bartlett where the President makes sure that Charlie does not lie for him is also great.

 

I don't know how far the english version of 19-2 is currently at but:

Spoiler

The season 2 finale - school shooting, is pretty intense.

 

Not from the West Wing (it's like there are no other shows)

Glee - school shooting
