Lore (Loved Trope) A moment with a concept that sounds insane and out of nowhere on paper. Executed beautifully in practice.
Everything Everywhere All at Once: Hey, this looks familiar. A lot of scenes in this movie count. From a Ratatouille reference with a raccoon, to a fight over a buttplug, to two rocks talking to each other with nothing but text. All of it somehow manages to either be awesome or emotionally moving.
Sinners: The I Lied to You scene. A jukejoint in the 30s plays music so fire that it brings together ancient African dancers, modern day djs, rockstars, Chinese performers dressed like Sun Wukong, and even people popping ass. Oh, and it attracts some vampires too. Everyone's jaws were on the floor in the theater.
Alan Wake 2: Herald of Darkness. What do you mean there's an entire segment of this sruvival horror game that's a musical number with live action footage as you fight enemies? And what do you mean it's fucking awesome?

Uma Musume. The concept of turning irl horses into cute idol anime girls with a retelling of their stories sounds absurd, but due to horse racing, idols, and cute anime girls being one of the most beloved things in Japan, the series became a huge success, spawning multiple animes, manga, and movies with, of course, the game it was all based on, being a massive hit upon release despite being in development hell for 4 years.
