Most emotional scene you've seen in a film

I found the scene in stand by me when he is remembering his brother really sad, when only he will talk to him about the story he's written.

About 4 different parts of Stand By Me make me pretty sad. I should probably stop watching it.
 
I'm a sucker for a good, cheesy sports movie.

61*, the movie about Roger Maris, got me a few times. When Mickey Mantle is in the hospital room watching Maris hit 61, I got a little chocked up. When Yankee Stadium cheered for him about he hit his 61st and when Mantle gave his little speech to Maris after he broke the record..both those scenes were so cheesy but they got to me

Friday Night Lights - I was devastated for that running back. The kid with all the talent, the pressure from his family to play despite the injury, and the ultimate realization that he had nothing left without football. That was devastating.

I already mentioned the last fight in the movie Ali - that was one of the best scenes ever in a movie that could have been so much better.

Holocaust movies are tough to not get connected to if you're human and not a Nazi. The girl in the red dress in Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful, the Pianist, the Boy in Striped Pajamas...

Other movies that got me chocked up a bit:

My Dog Skip
Good Will Hunting
 
When Marley gets ill, and later has to be put down. That had me balling.

Saw War Horse in the cinema yesterday. Welled up quite a few times. Full blown tears for the last 30 minutes.

Anything to do with animals gets me going.

I know, hearing about 40,000 people dying in Syria, meh!

Oh my god, Old Yeller, NO!
 
Not many things beat Team Hoyt though. Few things have made me feel like less of a man, than watching and reading about this dude.

Team Hoyt began in 1977 when Rick became inspired by an article on racing he saw in a magazine. Dick Hoyt was not a runner and was nearly 37 years old. After their first race Rick said, “Dad, when I’m running, it feels like I’m not handicapped.” After their initial five mile run, Dick began running every day with a bag of cement in the wheelchair because Rick was at school and studying, unable to train with him. As of July 2010, the Hoyts had competed in 1032 endurance events, including 68 marathons and six Ironman triathlons. They had run the Boston Marathon 26 times. Also adding to their list of achievements, Dick and Rick biked and ran across the U.S. in 1992, completing a full 3,735 miles in 45 days.

Titanic always used to get me. At different points oddly enough. I'd say I've grown immune to it now though.

But I remember my dad mentioning the final scene of a film called The Champ,
where the protagonist (a boxer) is dying after a fight, and (I think) his kid is trying to 'wake him up' realising he's died after a fight, struggling to come to terms with it. Sounds horrible. Enough to put me off watching that film.

Anyway, final scene:

I was thinking the same just now. When he is told to wear a suit on his first day at the firm, and he walking out of to the street...

Also somescenes from Seven Pounds, was good too.

Secrets&Lies from when Roxanne goes back to Maurice's house to confront her mother. Its one of the best scenes ever in a movie.



From 2:45.

Timothy Spall is a freaking genius.

Yes, good call.
 
Mike Leigh is the man. Should be knighted in my opinion.
 
Fairly cliche, but the end of Return of the King where they bow to the Hobbits gets me every sodding time.

In terms of classics, there is this of course the end of Cool Runnings...

 
Once Upon a Time in America. De Niro's character, a broken, lonely figure of a man that barely smiled throughout the epic length of the film, lies down, smokes some opium and lets out a big grin

When Brooks gets released from the prison in Shawshank redemption had me furiously trying to hide tears when I saw it for the first time with a bunch of mates. Not cool for 15 year old boys to cry over a movie scene.

 
I've never cried, or wept, or whatever over a book, film, tv show, piece of music or any art at all. Is it just me?

:lol:

I hadn't seen it myself at the time but i remember walking in on my mates watching that just after he hangs himself, taking one look at all their soppy faces and saying "what's up with you queens?"

Suffice to say, it did not go down very well.
 
The final scene in Con Air when Poe gets to see his daughter for the first time, with 'How do I live' by Trisha Yearwood playing in the background does it for me! Not the most emotional scene I've seen in a film, but bizzarely the first one that popped into my mind!
