Most emotional scene you've seen in a film



This scene is so emotional and beautiful. When I first saw this movie in the cinema, by this point I was fine (after all the crying), but when I saw this scene, the tears were blinding me again.

i'd forgotten about this one - yes, I agree,

I remember watching it at home once and sobbing through this scene, to the point where my son had to climb on my knee to soothe me - he was about 7 at the time

The whole movie was emotional, but this scene did it for me.

And, to think that someday when we pass on, that we'll be reunited with our loved ones just like this. It's just my favourite movie of all time, can't wait for it to be re-released in 2012.

it is a wonderful film, yes.

and i agree about being reunited with our loved ones likes that, although my dogs are waiting for me at " rainbow bridge "

i first found it when my first jack russell passed away, and it's a lovely thought.
( bet you'll cry if you find it! )

No doubt many more will come to me but what I thought of first was the end of The Dambusters Raid, for me it is the greatest British war film ever made because it was so real to the events as they happened. Like such films of the era it wasn't embellished with overdramatic buffoonish characters, hollywood storylines or love triangles - it was a docu-dramas that presented the facts in an honest manner.

The whole film is a story about survival, about achieving ridiculous odds and pushing the boundaries and the laws of physics as far as they could possibly be taken, and selflessly sacrificing to cause a pinprick in the cause of a total six year war to make sure that we won and the others couldn't.

The film ends with one of the most ingenious innovators of the war, the man who devised and built the bouncing bomb and spent the film fighting through the bureaucracy of Whitehall and struggling to convert theory into practical use see the end results. He doesn't see that the raid on the dams of West Germany were a great success causing extensive damage and created what would be an immense propaganda story that would go around the world and would help convince Stalin that he could trust Britain to use all means necessary. Instead he saw the lives of the pilots lost on what was a horrendously risky one-of-a-kind mission, only for the leader of the mission (Wing Commander Guy Gibson, who flew 200 bomber missions in the war and died doing so - American pilots flew 25) to tell him all the crews knew exactly what they were getting into and would have gone anyway and basically let him know that he should in no way feel sorry or ashamed for his role in it all.

However you need to watch the full film to appreciate the final scenes though.

Totally agree. One fine film and the ending is superbly done.

I watched a third of film the other night called City of Life and Death about the Rape of Nanking by Japanese forces in China in 1937 when they committed terrible atrocities against the locals.
Anyway, one of the main characters was this Chinese delegate who was 'protected' in a safe-zone as he worked for a prominent Nazi party member in Nanking, and the Japanese had a treaty with Germany. As the Japanese soldiers became more brazen, they entered his house where his extended-family were gathered in a loft and announced they needed three girls for dancing and entertainment, obviously sexual.
They grabbed hold of the Chinaman's wife and sister-in-law and he began to argue as politely as he could fearing their wrath. His little daughter stepped forward and began vainly trying to hit the Japanese solider trying to drag her mum away. Another Japanese soldier saw this and laughed, then picked her up and took her to the window and threw her out of it to her death, to which the Chinaman ran over to screaming. The camera stayed on his face for about twenty seconds whilst he's stood there screaming calling out his daughter's name...it was horrific, an amazing movie visually but not one to watch with the missus lads.

That was horrible, good call. I watched this a couple of days ago and it still makes me depressed. Don't think I've ever been so emotionally affected by a film before.

Having recently read "The Rape of Nanking", the worst thing is that they actually sugar-coated things in that film :/
 
Not at the end, but Celie's baby sequence in 'The Colour Purple'.
The end of 'Betty Blue'.
The (nearly) end of 'Saving Private Ryan'.
All references to Chuckie's mum in 'Rugrats go to Paris'.
The beginning of Aliens 3 - why would I want to watch the rest of the film after this?
Again, not the end but the Fredo fishing scene in 'Godfather II'
 
In Dances With Wolves when the Sioux depart and Wind In His Hair is shouting down the mountain.
 
Surprised Gladiator hasn't had a shout, brilliant ending to that film, stirred all manner of emotions, was both a tragic and happy ending at the same time, and the music absolutely nailed it



And it goes without saying, the moment where it seemed the mighty Kevin Costner, in his exceptional and ground breaking portrayal of Robin Hood, appears to fall to his death...

 
I did a Mozilla search for Gladiator on both of the first two pages!

But no, I was too busy recalling just how fecking good a film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves was to care about what anyone here had said
 
I don't get upset at films, I've never cried over one. But probably the saddest scene I can remember is when Gladiator returns to see his family
hung and burnt.

Completely useless - and yet very telling - bit of trivia for all the men and (sane) women present:

Titanic; Average number of viewings females North America 11-16 yrs, original theatrical run: 22.

Yes, twenty-two viewings per female, North American, aged 11-16 yrs at time of release.

Back on topic: (as mentioned by others) the ending of Der Liszt der Schindler.
 
When Will Smith has to sleep in the toilets with his son/at the end when he gets the job in 'pursuit of happyness'

When Simon dies in Simon Birch (only film that's made me cry)
 
the bit in Its a wonderful life when the young george doesnt deliver the medicine to the family cause he knows its poison as the chemist has just found out his son is dead and doesnt know what hes doing...when young george returns and the chemist starts beating him and his ear is bleeding and then he tells him why he didnt deliver it.

I gurn like a baby every fecking time I see that scene.
 


Just pure chills!

and the bit where Leonidas dies and there's an exchange with another Spartan.
"It is an honour to die by your side" - Spartan Soldier
"It has been an honour to live by yours" - Leonidas

A very underated film(in terms of the critical response).

Can't say I was teary at the end but I was probably closer to it when
Astinos dies
