Your Favorite "YES!!" Moments (TV/Movies)

For me it was when Han Solo flew the Millenium Falcon in at the end of Star Wars to save Luke and help blow up the Death Star
 
300 the speech before the last battle scene. I think just about everyone who saw that movie was jacked after that. HAROU!!!!
 
Farscape. Harvey 2.0. You will never find a Tivo moment that I didn't constantly rewind more times than that moment.
 
Nobody has mentioned it yet, So for me it was the end of Jaws when Brody shoots the scuba tank. "Smile, you son-of-a-"
 
At the end of The Last Boy Scout, Joe punctuating his warning to Milo with his fists: "I told you"--SOCK--"if you ever touch me again"--SOCK--"I'll kill you!" SOCK!

I love that stuff.
 
The part in Order of the Phoenix in the woods with the centaurs when they are about to take Umbridge away and she says, "Tell them I mean no harm," And Harry says, "Sorry professor, I must not tell lies." There's more I'm sure, but that part was literally JUST on TV.
 
The Expendables and The Expendables 2 - Both movies are pure yes-moments all the way through. Same with the Rambo movies.

Transformers (1985) - When Optimus Prime hard charges the Decepticon lines at the beginning and when Hot Rod becomes Roddimus Prime at the end.

Transformers (2007) - When Epps called in the airstrike using A-10s and the AC-130. Pure militarygasm.
 
Jack Reacher - the whole second half of the movie.

Honestly - the trailer was more than discouraging and I had never heard of that character before...

Nonetheless, the film was great and as mentioned above, there were more than a dozen of moments I thought "YES!!!"

Recommended (as one of the top 5 movies of '12... IMO)
 
In Jurassic Park, when John Hammond says: "Welcome... to Jurassic Park".
The music, the acting, the panorama view over the valley, the atmosphere, everything is perfect!
 
I had a lot of exclamations in Human Nature and The Family of Blood:

*The Doctor wakes up*
The Doctor: Come in.
Martha Jones: Pardon me, Mr.Smith,
Me: What?
Martha: you're not dressed yet. I can come back later-
John Smith (The Doctor): No, it's alright, it's alright. Put it down. I was, um... Sorry, sorry. Sometimes I have these extraordinary dreams.
Martha: What about, sir?
John Smith: I dream I'm this... Adventurer. This...daredevil, a madman. 'The Doctor', I'm called. And last night I dreamt that you were there, as my... companion.
Martha: The teacher and the housemaid, sir? That's impossible.
John Smith: Ah no, a man from another world, though...
Martha: Well it can't be true because there's no such thing.
Me: What?!
John Smith: This thing...*he picks up the watch* The watch...Ah, it's funny how dreams slip away. But I do remember one thing; it all took place in the future. In the year of Our Lord two thousand and seven.
Martha: I can prove that wrong for you sir, here's the morning paper. It's Monday, November tenth, nineteen thirteen, and you're completely human, sir. As human as they come.
John Smith: Mmm, that's me; completely human.
Me: WHAT?!?!?!

And then that scene where he sets off a chain of events that stop a baby from being crushed.
Me: Woah
---

John Smith: It must be so confusing for you. Martha, this is what we call a story.
Me: Oh no he didn't.
Martha: Oh you complete....THIS *she waves her finger to indicate The Doctor* is not you, THIS is nineteen thirteen.
John Smith: Good. This IS nineteen thirteen.
Martha: I'm sorry, I'm really sorry but I've got to snap you out of this. *She slaps him*
Me: You go girl!

Tim Latimer: He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun.
John Smith: [quickly and almost whispering] Stop it.
Tim Latimer: He's ancient and forever. He burns at the centre of time and can see the turn of the universe.
John Smith: [Panicked/Angry] Stop it, I said stop it!
Tim Latimer: and... he's wonderful.
Me: Oh yes he is!

*The Family turn to see The Doctor enter the ship*
John Smith: Just... *lurches* Just stop the bombardment. That's all I'm asking. I'll do anything you want, just stop.
Baines: Say please.
John Smith: Please.
Jenny: Wait a minute. *Inhales deeply* Still human.
John Smith: Now I can't... I can't pretend to understand, not for a second, but I want you to know that I'm innocent in all this. He made me John Smith. It's not like I had any control over it. *hits more buttons by accident*
Jenny: He didn't just make himself human, he made himself an idiot.
Baines: Same thing, isn't it ?
John Smith: I don't care about this Doctor and your family, I just want you to go. So, I've made my choice. *holds out watch* You can have him. Just take it, please! Take him away.
Baines: At last. *takes the watch* Don't think that saved your life.
*he pushes the Doctor away and, as he falls, the Doctor hits more buttons*
Baines: Family of Mine, now we shall have the lives of a Time Lord.*he opens the watch, The Family all breathe deep* It's empty!
John Smith: Well, where's it gone ?
Baines: You tell me.
*Baines throws the watch and the Doctor catches it one-handed*
The Doctor (normal voice) : Oh,
Me: Yes! It's him again!
The Doctor: I think the explanation might be you've been fooled by a simple olfactory misdirection... little bit like ventriloquism of the nose. It's an elementary trick in certain parts of the galaxy. But it has got to be said... *puts on glasses* I don't like the looks of that hydroconometre. It seems to be indicating you've got energy feedback all the way through the retrostabilisers feeding back into the primary heat converter... ah *hisses* 'Cause if there's one thing you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have let me press all those buttons- But, in fairness, I will give you one word of advice.. Run.
Me: Yeah! Run!
 
"My friends, you bow to no one."

Also, the skiff/execution/Sarlacc scene in ROTJ. Luke steps off of the plank, and turns to grab it, springing himself back up into a triple gainer. Simultaneously, R2 shoots Luke's saber through the air for him to catch, and ignite, just as he lands back in the skiff. The combination of the score, the aggressive sound of the ignition, and the green "blade" (up to that point, we had only seen Kenobi and Vader's blue and red sabers) still makes me smile, to this day.

I think one of my favorite WOW moments was the second season of LOST when Desmond puts on the record and gets on the exercise bike and you realize he is in the "Hatch". That was one of my favorite scenes in the whole LOST series.
 
In Kick-Ass, after Hit-girl has been shot and falls out the window, just as BD and KA are pounded from head to toe and about to be killed, the lights get shot out, when the night vision clicked on, I jumped off the couch and gave a big YYYEEESS!!(and a few colorful metaphors :cool) the 1st time I saw it!
with many bounces and shouts though out that scene! :lol
