Oh dear, that’s tough. But I’ll try.

Nr. 5:

This scene from Civil War. Why? Because they actually talk to each other. Revolutionary concept, huh? Obviously they don’t agree but there’s some kind of intimiacy in this scene. At this point right there they disagree but they don’t hate each other. They genuinely try to talk it out. They fail but hey, at least they tried.

Nr. 4

I don’t even know which scene this is from exactly (somewhere in AoU) but I always liked how Tony looks at Steve and Steve looks back. It looks as if they were reassuring each other, validating if what they are doing is the right thing by checking with each other. I really like that idea.

Nr. 3

This gotta be in here, right? This is where it all started. Right in this scene these two fight out who’s gonna be the leader of this relationship team. I’m not 100 % what the conclusion was though. Also the weird fact that Tony kinda looks taller than Steve here and of course the way they fight and seconds later still make sure the other gets out safe - classic Stony if you ask me.

Nr. 2

I love love love love LOVE this scene. Why? Because they are joking and they’re doing so together. That’s kinda unheard of. But I love it. What’s better than your OTP sassing actual gods? 10/10 would recommend.

Nr. 1

Don’t call me crazy and please don’t hate me for this but this right here is my favorite Stony scene. “But they’re killing each other!” I hear you scream at me - well yes, they are. But they aren’t. And they didn’t. And they won’t ever. Let me tell you, both of them had several opportunities during the final fight scene in CACW to actually kill the other. To end this for good. But in every single one of those cases they didn’t, no, they stood there and waited till the other was standing again.

ANYONE NOT UP FOR MY RAMBLING ABOUT THIS SCENE, PLEASE LEAVE NOW, IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

First of all, I know ya’ll kinda hate this movie and what it did to this fandom but it did one thing absolutely right - making this scene personal. All these months before CW came out I wondered how on earth they were gonna justify this fight. Of course everyone knew about the accords but I simply couldn’t see how some stupid paperwork would make these two actually go head to head. Like for real. And then this happened. And it was a genius move, hate on it as much as you want. 

But back to Stony. Again, they could have killed each other in this scene. But they didn’t. And you can see in every single move they make that they don’t want to. This strange ambiguity is what I love about this scene - they deal out some heavy punches, both of them, but they don’t actually wanna hurt each other, not really. They are fighting, for real and it’s 100 % personal at this point and they know they’re hurting each other but they also know what the other can take and they won’t cross that line. They wouldn’t ever. It’s hard to describe… but all of those things I’m trying to explain right here are the reason why I didn’t have any doubt whatsoever that Steve wasn’t going to kill Tony in this scene. Not for the fraction of a second. I’ve seen a lot of posts here on Tumblr saying “I actually thought he would kill him!” and I just don’t see it. I’ve never seen it. Go into this movie without any prior knowledge about either of those characters and maybe you find yourself fearing for Tony’s life BUT I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT STEVE FUCKING ROGERS AND TONY FUCKING STARK THEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS SCENE WITHOUT EVEN BLINKING BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN YOU JUST KNOW IT WITH EVERY FIBER IN YOUR SOUL and they knew too, don’t tell me otherwise, they knew they wouldn’t kill each other, they knew, if you believe me or not.

Anyway. These are my top 5 Stony moments in movies. Thank you for the question and sorry for the little emotional meltdown towards the end, I hope I didn’t scare anyone off, I can be nice, I swear. Also as this is no way to end a post, have a random Stony gif I found while googling. I have no idea where it’s from but I love it:
