The scene toward the end of Last of the Mohicans where the British officer, Duncan Heyward (played by Steven Waddington), has a moment of nobility and sacrifices himself to save Hawkeye (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) and Cora (played by Madeleine Stowe), knowing full well the Indians plan to burn him at the stake. As Cora and Hawkeye are fleeing, Hawkeye turns and fires a mercifully well placed musket ball into Duncan's heart, killing him to spare him the pain of the flames that are just beginning to lick around his head. Combined with the stunningly simple yet incredibly emotive music playing during the scene, it never fails to give me chills and draw a tear or two whenever I see it...
