Critical moment

A lot of references to critical moments are made with sports. There are no critical moments in most sports games, somebody being in critical condition is a critical moment. Someone performing well under a lot of pressure where not many people would is a lot different than a critical moment.
The guy who helped his team win a ball game isn't really someone who didn't back down from a critical moment, he's just a guy that helped his team win, or didn't quit if they weren't winning, if a reference is made to a guy on a team that didn't win doing something in a critical moment.

Movie Moment

Movie moment: an iconic, occurrence or happening that is so incredibly great it seems as if it were scripted for a rom-com. It can at times be cheesy but is not required to be. It’s often a moment that you leaves you in awe, simply perfect.
