* The heists, especially the second heist, which shows how a highly focused, careful team can pull off a heist that seems utterly impossible.
* While Frank's [[HonorBeforeReason devotion to his personal beliefs ends up fucking him over in some ways]], it takes serious guts to say to a crime boss's face:
-->'''Frank''': My money in 24 hours, or you will wear your ''ass'' for a hat.
** Another, incredibly simple one, when told to "join a labor union", Frank gestures to where he keeps his gun and says "[[ImpliedDeathThreat I'm wearin' it.]]"
* Doubles as NightmareFuel, but Leo's threats to Frank, which rattle him enough to [[BreakHisHeartToSaveHim make him send his wife away]] and start a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that he [[DeathSeeker probably won't come back from]].
* And on that note, the aforementioned rampage. [[LetThePastBurn Frank torches EVERYTHING that means something to him]], his home, the bar, his car lot (pictured above), everything. He crumples up the collage that was his dream for the future, and goes after Leo, [[AntiClimaxBoss easily killing him with three shots]], and then in a shootout against two henchmen, manages to survive a shotgun blast to the shoulder, kills Leo's lackeys with ease, [[OffIntoTheDistanceEnding and then walking down the street]] as the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic credits theme starts to play]]. "I'm the last guy in the world that you wanna fuck with" indeed.

* For Looking Glass, more like Crowning Level. Just mention the ''Thief II'' level ''Life of the Party'' to any ''Thief'' fan and they'll grin and remember the first time they played that huge, very open ended and incredibly well designed mission that combines burglary via rooftops of noble mansions, banks, a necromancer's spire, and dingy tenements with Garrett's gatecrashing of ''that'' party. [[spoiler: And Karras knew you were coming ALL ALONG!]] Let's not forgot what happens after you read the Karras' New Scripture... arguably the biggest scare of the entire series, though you weren't in any danger!

* In the first game a crime boss named Ramirez tries to have Garrett assassinated for being an independent operator. Garrett decides to send a message by breaking into his mansion and lifting the purse off his belt, with no preparations beforehand. Even better, at the time Ramirez is in the vault in his basement merrily counting his money. The message is clear and powerful: If Garrett wants to get to you, nothing you have will stop him. You will never see him coming. ''Do not mess with Garrett.''

!!CrowningMusicOfAwesome :
* ''Thief : The Dark Project'' : The opening credits and the tender but weary score during the final cutscene... which then transforms into a [[NineInchNails Trent Reznor]]-style piece...
** Just about the entire ''Thief II : The Metal Age'' soundtrack. In particular Shipping and Receiving, which creates such a haunting atmosphere of grey and soulless industry, Eavesdropping, which conveys the surrealness and spooky secrets of the Mechanist seminar, and Trail of Blood, perhaps one of the most haunting tracks ''ever''.
** Intro and outro music in the style of NineInchNails is present in all three games, possibly to add contrast to an otherwise purely ambient and mostly silent soundtrack.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ZemplinTemplar#grid/user/C321EDE0D5E8C2D1 The soundtrack of]] ''Thief : Deadly Shadows'' also gave us top-notch ambient music, with lots of distinct leitmotifs. Some of them would nicely fit the definition of Crowning Moment Of Moody and even [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0FLVpdPnw Crowning Moment Of Scary]] - if tropes like that existed...
