* [[InvokedTrope In and out of canon]] in Ghostbusters 2. The Ghostbusters, using the uplifting energy of the song "Higher and Higher", bring the Statue of Liberty to life and commands her to shatter the armor of hate that Vigo encased the museum in. The sight was so inspiring that it united the normally cynical and hateful New Yorkers, and such was the concentration of their love and hope that it weakened Vigo enough to allow the Ghostbusters to defeat him.

* When Venkman makes his speech to the Mayor, especially the part about saving the lives of millions of registered voters. He makes an expression that's a split between genuine happiness and about to cry. It shows he really cares about the city enough to accept any idea that saves it, no matter how damaging or crazy it is.

** The rallying speech that Ray gives which inspires this plan is also a great moment.
--->'''Ray''': You know, I just can't believe things have gotten so bad in this city that there's no way back. I mean, sure, it's messy, it's crowded, it's polluted, and there are people who would just as soon step on your face as look at you. But come on! There's gotta be a few sparks of sweet humanity left in this burned-out berg. We just gotta find a way to mobilize it!
