* Sebastian Stan, who was born in Romania, being able to have a scene that takes place in Bucharest and speak his native tongue. After over a decade of not being able to go to his home country it's rather sweet to see how excited he was to visit, even for such a short scene.

** Bonus points for it being the one time Sam & Bucky share any mutual enjoyment. Through the film, it's clear that Sam only tolerates having him around, but in that one scene the two are just two guys happy for their friend.

* At the end of the film, [[spoiler: Steve sends a letter to Tony to apologize about hiding the truth that the Winter Soldier was behind his parents' deaths, admitting the mistake that he did it not because he didn't want to hurt Tony, but because he wanted to protect his own conscience, then tells him that he wishes that everything could've turned out better between them and that he put the rest of the Avengers in his hands, but also notes that [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind he cannot let the other half of them who are imprisoned in the Raft behind]] (a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} in itself). That same letter comes with a flip phone on which Tony can contact them if he needs them. Tony then receives a call from General Ross that the Raft is under assault, but Tony instead puts the call on hold and continues reading the rest of Steve's message, showing that he's still willing to hear him out despite everything that had happened. The scene cuts to Falcon in his cell smiling happily as he sees Steve emerging from the darkness to rescue him and the rest of the imprisoned heroes.]] What makes that scene extra heartwarming is that Sam was already smiling even before [[spoiler: Steve stepped out of the shadows. He already knew that his friend was coming for them. No matter what, no matter where, when his friends needs him Steve Rogers will get to them.]]

** In a similar vein, though the dialogue plays it for laughs, Scott is pretty clearly willing to make a HeroicSacrifice, just like at the end of his own movie, this time by trying out the Giant Man function on his suit without knowing just how badly it will mess him up.

* Heck, the fact that Steve is willing to defend Bucky throughout the whole movie no matter what, even if it means becoming a criminal, even if it means dying. He also trusts Bucky almost immediately when the latter says he wasn't responsible for what happened in Vienna. Up until Tony discovering Zemo's involvement in the bomb, we only have Bucky's word for it.

* Cap addresses Scott Lang by name three times in the film: First he's "Mr. Lang", then "Lang", and then finally "Scott". Sure, the Avengers have always used FirstNameBasis and LastNameBasis interchangeably with one another, but that progression is a nice display of Ant-Man becoming an Avenger and a FireForgedFriend.

* When Steve starts to say he sometimes wishes he could ignore the urge to do what's right, Tony is very quick to cut in with the blunt assertion that, no, he ''doesn't''. Compare this to Tony's insult in ''The Avengers'' of how everything special about Steve "came out of a bottle" to understand just how well he's since come to know what Steve's real strength is.

Added DiffLines:

** On a meta level, it's quite an accomplishment that Civil War actually makes Tony and Steve feel like friends; in both Avengers movies they spend most of their screentime together arguing, so it was a concern going into the movie that their conflict would feel weightless because the majority of their relationship on-screen has been antagonistic anyway. Despite that, these moments go a long way to really show how much they care for each other, even though this is the movie where they do end up fighting after the build up of the Avengers films.
