Heartwarming / Spartacus

• Draba, not only refusing to kill Spartacus when he has the chance, but turning on and attacking the Romans who'd watch them kill each other as entertainment. True, he dies, but his Heroic Sacrifice doesn't go to waste and leads Spartacus and the other gladiators to rise up in revolt.
• The famous "I Am Spartacus" scene. If they'd just let the first man to stand up take the fall, the rest of them (including Spartacus himself) would have been spared. By all standing and claiming to be Spartacus they all end up crucified for their defiance (and Spartacus is identified anyway), but rather than it being a Senseless Sacrifice they instead make it a declaration that each and every one of them would die for their leader and for the rest of their comrades too, and they would all choose death over re-enslavement.
• Crassus forces Antoninus and Spartacus to fight to the death, punishing the former for running away and the latter for Varinia's rejection of him; whoever survives will be crucified. Spartacus intends to give his friend a swift and merciful death, but Antoninus refuses to play along and fights back, trying to spare Spartacus such a gruesome fate: "I won't let them crucify you! Spartacus inevitably 'wins' and deals a fatal blow, and while Antoninus dies the two bid each other farewell as father and son.
• Gracchus arranges for the rescue and manumission of Varinia and her son; while he's doing it mostly to spite and thwart Crassus, he does seem to genuinely sympathise with her plight, and Varinia genuinely kisses and embraces him in thanks, something she would never have bestowed upon Crassus. Gracchus even muses "This would really make Crassus jealous."
• While Spartacus and most of his men end up crucified, Varinia is at least able to comfort him as he's dying by explaining that she and their son will escape to freedom, and his last moments are spent watching them leave Rome forever.
