Isn't that what the movie is all about? Why people react to it so? That feeling of wanting to get close to someone who is scared and runs away. Or maybe you were the one running and now regret it. I guess I should just say that's what kills me about it, identifying with that piece.
Oh what am I saying, there's a jillion things I identify with, lol. But that aspect in particular is, uy, killer.

Check out Brandon's video montage for this. He does an awesome job of showing this. It's around here somewhere.

Ennis sitting outside the tent by the fire, before going in.

Jack looking at Ennis sitting alone on the hill before they come down from the mountain.
Close second: Jack watching Ennis ride away after the dozy embrace.
Of course there are so many wonderful ones, and I could go on all day - the movie is really about all the unspoken moments, isn't it? But those are the two (other than the reunion scene - especially Ennis knocking Jack's hat off so he can get his hands on his face and hair - ROWR!) that I anticipate the most and get the most bang for the buck from every time.

Oh, sure, I can pick just one....well, no.
All that you all have described, plus...
From Ennis, who was wordless all too often -
In the motel scene, Ennis has been stroking Jack's forearm while they're talking and smoking, and when Jack says "Brokeback got us good" Ennis reaches his hand over a little further, holds on, and pulls Jack's arm tight around him.
