7	* The whole opening scene where Jack saves Gibbs from being hanged.
8	* Mr. Gibbs making Captain Jack Sparrow [[spoiler: admit to having ''feelings'' about Angelica and that she isn't just like any other girl in his past]].
9	** [[spoiler:The ending, which shows that despite their screwed-up relationship, Jack and Angelica ''still'' love each other, and always will]].
10	* Philip and Syrena's kiss towards the end, depending on how you interpret the following scene.
11	* In a strange way (no pun intended), in a scene that mirrors the end of the first film, there's something about the moment when Jack finally gets hold of ''his ship'' that really closes out the movie.
12	* When [[spoiler: Barbossa]] finally tracks down Blackbeard and [[spoiler: stabs him]] he gets this line...
13	-->[[spoiler: '''Barbossa:''']] For the ''Pearl.''
14	* This little moment
15	-->'''Barbossa''' ''reveals a hidden stash of rum in his [[spoiler: peg leg]]''\
16	'''Jack:''' [[PuppyDogEyes I want one of those.]]\
17	'''Barbossa:''' ''[[[PetTheDog immediately shares his rum]]]''
18	* After Barbossa admits to Jack that what he really wants is [[spoiler: revenge against Blackbeard for stealing the ''Black Pearl'' and costing Barbossa his leg]], Jack's response is a surprisingly heartfelt, "I'll see you get the chance, Mate." The heartwarming part comes when you realize that, while "Mate" is a [[TalkLikeAPirate fairly common pirate term]], he's using it here with the utmost sincerity to address his former ''first mate.'' It's an acknowledgement that the two of them both loved the ''Black Pearl'' and Jack understands Barbossa's wish to avenge it.
19	* Jack and Barbossa's relationship as a whole in this movie is pretty touching, considering that they went from hating each other in the first movie to an antagonistic rivalry in the third, but now that they finally have the same goal, the two seem more like old friends than rivals. It makes one wonder how things might have turned out if Barbossa hadn't mutinied against Jack back in the first movie.
20	** Might even be more touching as this might be what they were like ''before'' the mutiny. Barbossa was Jack's first mate, essentially his right hand man, so there had to be trust there at some point. Rather then seeing a new friendship forming this might be the two finally burying the hatch and ''restoring'' the friendship they had years ago.
21	* [[AntiVillain The Spaniard]] taking a moment to request one of his men make a note of [[spoiler: Lieutenant Groves']] bravery in claiming the Fountain for England in the face of an entire force of elite Spanish soldiers, even though the act was his last. A WorthyOpponent moment at its finest between two hostile powers.
22	* When faced with the SadisticChoice of [[spoiler: who to save and who to let die]] with the cursed chalices and the water from the Fountain of Youth, Jack [[spoiler: urges Blackbeard to give his own life to save his daughter]]. Granted, [[spoiler: Blackbeard crosses the MoralEventHorizon by making his daughter drink (what he thinks is) the fatal chalice, and Jack's BatmanGambit suggests that he KNEW Blackbeard would sink that low]], but the way that Jack [[spoiler: urges Blackbeard to save his daughter's life]] suggests that his request was sincere.
23	* Gibbs ''waits'' for Jack. There's nothing to stop him from walking off with the sackful of [[spoiler:bottled ships]], not Captain's orders (there are none) and certainly not the Pirate's Code. ''He'' got that prize all on his lonesome, with a little help from the compass, and it's his by rights. "Take what you can, give nothing back..." But Gibbs ''waits''.
24	* As Jack and Gibbs reflect on their adventure, our favorite LovableRogue has a [[HiddenDepths surprisingly poignant and insightful]] commentary on the prospect of immortality, suggesting that he [[WhoWantsToLiveForever understands the heavy weight of eternal life]], particularly [[ImmortalityImmorality when it comes at a price]]:
25	-->'''Gibbs:''' Jack, I have to ask... you had the chalices, the water, the tear... you could have lived, maybe forever!
26	-->'''Jack:''' The Fountain ''does'' [[SadisticChoice test you, Gibbs.]] But better to ''not'' know which moment may be your last--every ''morsel'' of your entire being ''alive'' to the infinite mystery of it all. And who's to say I ''won't'' [[YouCannotKillAnIdea live forever, eh]]? ''[air quotes]'' "[[LivingLegend Discoverer of the Fountain of Youth!]]" I have no say in it, Gibbs... [[ArcWords it's a pirate's life for me.]] [[CatchPhrase Savvy?]]
27	* Jack's [[spoiler:father]] showing up out of the blue to save him from a random mook then giving him as much helpful advice as he can. Their short greeting, complete with genuine smiles and a little salute, really sells how happy they are to see each other.
28	--> [[spoiler:'''Teague:''']] Hello, Jackie.
29	--> '''Jack:''' Hello, [[spoiler:dad.]]
30	* The previous two films had showed Jack's interest in becoming immortal, hence why he was looking for the Fountain of Youth to begin with. But once Angelica tells him that the fountain requires the sacrifice of another life, Jack ''immediately'' comments that he's suddenly no longer as eager to make use of it.
