Heartwarming / Kingdom of Heaven

• Godfrey's response to the Hospitaller's question of whether he was sorry for his sins: "For all but one" (meaning the extramarital affair that resulted in Balian's conception). Though less heartwarming when you consider that the way he mentions it, is implying it was a rape...
• Saladin and Baldwin discuss cease-fire terms at Kerak and Saladin agrees to back off on the condition that Baldwin punishes Reynald de Chatillon. They say their farewells in Arabic and then, after seeing Baldwin waver from fatigue from the journey, Saladin adds this:
  Saladin: I will send you my physicians.
  Baldwin: Salam Alaykum (Peace be upon you)
  Saladin: Alaykum Salam (Peace be upon you too)
  • Fridge Brilliance under the YouTube comments
  latenightvhs8774: He [Saladin] answered his "salam" even though he [Baldwin] wasn't muslim. This is a high level of respect to your enemy.
• The first conversation that Balian has with King Baldwin, showing that despite being a leper the man is Wise Beyond Their Years and is fully aware of his mortality, yet is still committed to protecting the helpless and ensuring that he will be happy to stand before God when it is his time, fully convinced of the righteousness of his actions. Not to mention this little speech he gives.
  King Baldwin IV: [Motioning Balian to a chessboard] When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt, in that moment, that I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. You see, none of us choose our end, really. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power. When you stand before God you cannot say "But I was told by others to do thus," or that "Virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice. Remember that.
• Saladin deciding to spare the inhabitants of Jerusalem in respect of Balian's courage.
• Before Balian leaves Jerusalem, Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani, the Saracen general who Balian befriended on his travels, asks Balian something that serves as both an Armor-Piercing Question given Balian's initial Crisis of Faith at the start of the film, and a heartwarming declaration of praise.
  Imad ad-Din al-Isfahani: If God does not love you, how could you have done all the things you have done?
• After conquering Jerusalem, Saladin walking through a church and coming across a golden crucifix, which had fallen to the ground during the long siege. He carefully picks it up and sets it back on the altar. Reports have it that cheers and applause followed this scene when shown in Middle Eastern theaters.
