Movie scene that touched you the most. [Archive]

There are so many. Here's one:

In "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest," at the end right after the Indian, while crying his eyes out, puts the now catatonic Nicholson out of his misery. He rips that incredibly heavy looking sink out of the floor; water shooting everywhere. He lifts it up over his head, gets a bit of a running start and chucks it through the barred window. Then he jumps through, and gracefully runs off into the wilderness.

"The Gambler" with James Cann.

Lauren Hutton asks James Cann why he gambles.
Cann says "I like the threat of losing"

I will never forget that line.
Imagine if you won at every thing you did with no risk of losing. After a while that would become old and tiresome but as long there is a risk the unknown outcome makes it that much more exciting.

This is why I gamble.

The disembowelment scene of "Braveheart" was pretty dramatic.

And on a tangent, I get pretty emotional when listening to John Waite's "Missing You" as it reminds me of the girl at work who transferred departments and I really enjoyed working with her compared to the incompetent ugly slackers I work with now. I hear the song on the bad soft rock radio station at work, as well as in the GTA:Vice City soundtrack.

Same episode a bit later, Liebgott has to tell the camp survivors that they're being locked up again for their own protection. The actor does a great job of crumbling after he utters the words.

Ok here i go,

Brave heart..... That was an awsome seen!

1) Man on fire.--- When washingon gives his own life for the life of the little girl.

2) John Q.--- Again D. Washington willing to cut his own heart out to give to his sonn for a transplant.

3) E.T.--- I was 8yrs old I lost it when he almost died LOL

4) A Knights Tale.--- Not a great movie, however when the he goes to find his father in his home town. His father is now blind and pops learns his son is now a knight. This scene always gets me.

For the most part alot of drama movies dealing with father son scenes. I am 26, my parents divorced when I was 17 and left home. 10 years later I now understand excatly what not both parents did for me but more so my father working not 1 but 2 jobs around the clock.

Now my father is my best friend!

so many...the following is not all-inclusive and is not listed in any order of preference:

1) 25th hour - the "f*ck you" speech and the last scene with norton, pepper, and psh

2) deer hunter - the final russian roullette match

3) basically all of band of brothers and saving private ryan, if for no other reason than to remind and reinforce me of what those ww2 soldiers went through

4) rudy - obviously

5) boiler room - the part when giovanni gets arrested and they leave him alone with his dad

6) american history x - pretty much the whole thing

7) the end of it's a wonderful life

8) the scene in royal tenenbaums when owen wilson and gwenyth paltrow are in the little tent...i think the stones song is what really does it

10) basically all of requiem for a dream, but especially ellen burstin's (sp?) speech to her son about why she wants to be on tv

11) american beauty

there are a ton more but that's all i can think of off the top of my head.

I'll probably pop in and out of this thread a bunch of times, but here's some.

The first that popped to my head: The last shot in Nights of Cabiria, of Giuletta Masina's face.

The scene in L'Atalante where the guy is heartbroken and bewildered looking for his wife, running to the edge of the water and having now place to go, then looking back into the camera. It's more famous as its stolen version, in Truffaut's "The 400 Blows."

The little girl in Wenders' "Alice in the Cities" was almost unbearably sad and beautiful in some of the traveling scenes.

Jimmy Stewart, in Vertigo, looking down from the bell tower after he's lost the love of his life not just once, but twice -- and he knows it's his fault. I don't know how his character could go on living after that.

In Jacob's Ladder, when the hero finally realizes he's dying, and sees his son.

And I've always thought that Eli Wallach running through the endless, whirring forest of crosses in the graveyard in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, while the music swells to operatic near hysteria, was incredibly moving and brilliant. Counterpointing the unstoppable, desperate folly of greed and mortal ambition with the oceanic enormity of death underlying it all and entwined all the way through it was just jaw-droppingly brilliant. Most of us have only seen that movie chopped into pieces by commercials and on our little t.v. screens, but on the big screen the way it's supposed to be, it's almost overwhelming in some parts. That movie's going to last a very, very, very long time.

Heat was an incredible movie. My vote there goes to the scene in the tunnel, where DeNiro is driving Amy to the airport and you see his face change back and forth extremely subtly, him joking back and forth with himself, and finally deciding to take the turn-off to the hotel and ruin his life just to kill the scumbag who betrayed him and his boys.

The scene where he confronts his Latino partner and asks him what he said was really touching too. When he asks his friend what he told the bad guys, and his friend says, "I don't remember," you can really feel for the guy and DeNiro too. And feel how DeNiro can't hate his friend for what he did. And when his friend talks about his wife being dead, and when his friend says, Homes, don't leave me like this, and DeNiro shoots him. You really get a lot of a sense of their friendship and how much they've both been hurt by all the things that have happened so quickly to them. First DeNiro wants to shoot his friend probably; then he doesn't. And then he has to anyway. Jeez what a mind and heart-fu_k.

You're right. That's one of my favorite movies of all time. I cried when I saw it. I love it but have trouble watching it again because even though it's so great, and great all the way through...you know what's going to happen. And it's made even more unbearable by the fact that the author wrote it about his own life, and has had to live a whole lifetime with the feeling, however right or wrong, of his own guilt. God, that must be terrible to carry around.

Still, I'm very glad that movie came into the world. It shows what a movie can actually be, and how good a movie can be.

He takes the letter, goes and sits down on a bench that overlooks the Noter Dame campus in the background.

Opens the letter. He starts to read it out loud...."Congratulations on being accepted...."

He can't continue because he starts choking up. He did it. He finally did it.

Roy: Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.
[Deckard spits at Roy as he falls; Roy catches him with one hand.]
Roy: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.

then Gaff, who has been likened to a prophet by some appears. Batty is dead. he has a short conversation with Deckard

Gaff: You've done a man's job, sir. I guess you're through, huh?
Deckard: Finished.
Gaff: It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does?

This scene gives me chills everytime i watch it. Pretty much the definition of perfect sci fi

Another one: the final scene in The Last of the Mohicans, just after the funeral of Uncas, where the wise man predicts the end of the Native American culture due to the advancement of the European immigrants. The camera overlooks the wilderness as the sun sets, and Chingachgook gives a eulogy for his culture.

"The frontier moves with the sun and pushes the Red Man of these wilderness forests in front of it until one day there will be nowhere left. Then our race will be no more, or be not us... No, it is true. The frontier place is for people like my white son and his woman and their children. And one day there will be no more frontier. And men like you will go too, like the Mohicans. And new people will come, work, struggle. Some will make their life. But once... we were here."

Truly one of the highest quality and most touching scenes in movie history.

When she meets him, she says "I'm here!" and he replies "See Mother, I make all things new." My eyes well up without fail everytime I see it (which is usually once a year during Lent).

When Forrest meets his son for the first time and gets choked up asking if he's either smart or retarded like himself. Hit me like a ton of bricks.

I don't watch movies much, but the last time I cried hard was watching Love Actually (don't even start). I don't what scene got me started, but the little kid kissing the girl ended it for me.

I'm a vagina. I accept it. I tear up at really stupid stuff in movies.

That part chokes me up for sure, but I actually shed tears when Forrest is speaking to Jenny at her grave.

Every Kiera knightly scene got me started... Elisha Cuthbert ended it for me. That little girl was cute but about 4 years too young imho.

I didn't see anyone else post this one. The scene that came immediately to my mind was at the end of Dead Poet's Society. Robin Williams' character has just been fired from the private school following Neil's 'incident' (don't want to spoil it all). When he walks out of his office after gathering his last posessions, the students stand on their desks in support of him showing that his message got through to them after all.

I saw as a kid and I remember crying because of the sad ending.
However, upon rewatching it now as a young adult, doesn't move me so much.

I thought the ending of Big Fish was moving.

Not in any particular order. Just putting down whatever's on the top of my head.

1)The ending of Shawshank Redemption. Wow.
2)Many scenes in Forrest Gump.
3)Boiler Room - The scene Seth say's, "No,no,no deal. No you take my father out the back door right now, and you bring him home. He has nothing to do with this case.I swear to god if his[Seth's father] name lands on one newspaper paper I do not testify and I mean that." Right after the look on his father's face... gives me knots in my neck just thinking about it
4)Ending of Braveheart. Everytime I hear the bagpipes in the background...
5)Ending of the Awakenings- just the fact that there is no cure....
6)Napoleon Dynamite- When Napoleon and Deb are playing the ball together at the end of the movie. Just saw this movie 2 days ago.
7)Ghost- When they replay the main song near the end of the movie. The dancing scene. My mom's favorite movie. She passed away in '91.

and many others.

Apollo 13, anyone? I remember crying in the theatre when i was younger. Also Requiem for a Dream, oh and recently, The Last Samurai really got me at the end when Tom Cruise and the Samurai leader were gunned down at the end in the field.

In Bottle Rocket, when Anthony Adams was asked why he went crazy and he replied:

"One morning, over at Elizabeth's beach house, she asked me if I'd rather go water-skiing or lay out. And I realized that not only did I not want to answer THAT question, but I never wanted to answer another water-sports question, or see any of these people again for the rest of my life."

The Deer Hunter - Christopher Walkien’s suicide scenes.....I spent my time there.....I cannot and will not ever watch that movie again....that scene embodies the complete lunacy of those times, and brings back a fear that I don’t ever care to feel again.

Field of Dreams - After the field clears of players and Costner says ‘but, what’s in it for me’ ........the look on his face, supported by Shoeless Joe’s smirk, when Costner first realizes that the lone catcher on the field is his father. Have watched it many times....tears still well up in my eyes when I see it.....for all of the misunderstandings between fathers and son’s realized too late.

Shawshank Redemption – When Red finds the tin under the tree in the field; reads the letter and makes his way to Andy in Mexico............ It somehow rights all of the wrongs in the world.

Rocket Gibraltar – Wonderful film with Burt Lancaster as the family patriarch who has just died, and how his grandchildren scheme to give him the Viking funeral that they all knew he wanted. Against great odds, they get it done in the end, and the final few minutes are simply heartwarming.

Legends of the Fall – This movie is full of so many moving scenes that it’s too hard to pick a favorite. The music is absolutely haunting and amplifies the bittersweet reality of the tragic randomness of life's events that befall one family.

On Borrowed Time – An old classic..... difficult to find, but if you can, do so.........

Big Fish – If you have a daughter, don’t watch it with her unless you want her to see you cry..........

An odd little moment, but when I first saw Contact in the theater and the movie is ending, right as they fade to black, they put up "For Carl" on screen. Don't know why, but instantly teared up at that.

Guess I kind of grew up on Cosmos and am thankful to him for helping give me my love of science, but didn't expect I'd have that sort of reaction to something as simple as that.

In a similar vein, when they put up the dedication to Challenger in front of Star Trek IV, that must have been a right time/right place sort of thing because the whole theater got real quiet, gave muted applause, and you could hear sobbing around you. Don't know for me if it was the dedication or the crowd's reaction that got me most, but that one also stands out.

I haven't read all the responses so I apologize if this is a repeat.

The scene in Titanic when the boat is going down and the show an old couple hugging on the bed as the water rushes in...then switches to a mother reading her kids to sleep right before the water gets there gets me every time.

I also nominate the scene in Glory the night before the final battle around the campfire. Very touching.

In Goodwill Hunting, when the professor and Field's medal winner is crawling on the floor trying to recover the charred remains of Will's proof that Will just set on fire, and he says:

Professor: "You're right. I can't do this proof. I'm sorry I ever met you. Because then I wouldn't have to face every day knowing that someone like you is out there...and I wouldn't have to watch you throw it all away."
