Why don’t you admit that you were jealous of Simone? She’s not real. I created her.
I swear, Bill.

One of the very few times I've gotten goosebumps was from the last bit of dialog in the first Terminator movie. Sarah Connor is sitting in her jeep at a gas station with her German Shepherd. Sarah: What did he just say? Gas Station Attendant: He said there's a storm coming. Sarah (looking off into the distance): I know.
Kaneda... What do you see?
-- Searle, Sunshine (2007)
spoiler
The movie is about a crew flying a starship to our Sun, which is rapidly dying because of a Q-Ball -- some thing that I'm sure was proven to exist but that strips away protons from atoms. They're on a mission to detonate an essentially experimental bomb there hoping it would be enough to get rid of the Q-Ball and essentially restart the nuclear fusion process, saving humanity.
As the mission is getting closer to the star, we see Searle in the observation room, toning down the filter to see the sun like he would never be able to on Earth. The safeguard protocols only allow him to see 3.1% of its true power given the distance, and not for long. His experience is almost ecstatic, spiritual. Next scene is him talking to his crewmates about the experience, recommending it.
The quote is what he asks his captain during an emergency repair, his skin showing signs of too much exposure to the sun, even through the filter.
He asks his captain, who had to stay behind during an EVA emergency repair, what does he see, as the ship is slowly turning to face the sun again, about to burn the captain to death.
This such a "call of the void" moment, although about something so clearly opposite of a void. A man slowly getting more and more obsessed with something so incomprehensible, getting so close to it, so far away from anything familiar. So obsessed that it's what he's pulled to ask from another man about to get properly obliterated.

But really, Viola Davis' entire performance carries the whole film and makes every important moment land.
No movies, but occasionally a game:
"In this waking nightmare,
where all dreams come true...
You searched for control, a way to pull through.
When you were in love, you left him in tears,
To smother your furies, and banish your fears...
But in darkness they came.
Through stormy black seas they raided these shores...
Do you still hear his screams?
And now... that you're home... he's so far away...
They've taken his soul...
To these gods you cannot pray...
They can break you, but not your promise.
Even death won't keep you apart.
Through this darkness you will find him.
In your sword still beats - a heart."

The bathtub scene from Training Day. Every. Single. Time.
In the 1981 film Excalibur, adapted from "Le Morte d'Arthur" by Sir Thomas Malory.
When after years and years lost to an evil spell, King Arthur is free and strong and purposeful once more, he pays Queen Guinevere a visit, at the convent where she had retreated from the world and had become a nun.
In her chamber, Guinevere reaches under her bed and produces what seems like a miracle: Excalibur itself, which Arthur had regarded as utterly lost. As Arthur takes and wields Excalibur in a mixture of disbelief and delight, Guinevere whispers happily, "I kept it".
Then Arthur reels off these parting words, which I shall try to reconstruct from pure memory:
I have often dreamt, that in the hereafter of our lives,
when I am just a man, and owe no more to the future,
you will come to me, and claim me yours,
and know that I am your husband. It is a dream I have...
Then Arthur turns, wielding Excalibur, and leaves, en route to fulfill his destiny for one final time.
We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

That's right. I've killed women and children. I've killed just about everything that walks or crawled at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill, for what you did to Ned. -- Will Munny, Unforgiven
