Most emotional scene you've seen in a film

[cinc]

Easy with the elitism there, I think we need a new and separate Most emotional scene you've seen in a film thread.

I had a successful fight against myself not to laugh at the obligatory Shawshank Redemption mention.

 

[iSparky]

Its not a movie, but this short should make you cry if you're human.

Well thats done it for me

 

[Mr Anderson]

One of the scenes leading up to the ending of "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway".

 

[Spoony]

Just the popular ones.

Wanker.

You think every movie is shite

Just this shit ones.

 

[Ixion]

No laughing, but this one usually gets to me

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Anyone mentioned Elephant Man yet? That had me in bits.

 

[Badunk]

The end of the original 300 Spartans (not that CGI shite). The bravery of 300 men who know they're about to die, but are gonna go out swingin'. I was sobbing my heart out first time I saw it.

 

[Jippy]

Not one generally for getting emotional during films, but seem to remember Watership Down wrenching me as a kid.

 

[Saliph]

Anyone mentioned Elephant Man yet? That had me in bits.

Yes, you. Twice.

 

[R.N7]

Also I forgot the scene at the end of Stand By Me where River Phoenix's character fades away.

 

[Decotron]

Not a film but theres a few bits in Band of Brothers that always gets me.

 

[The Neviller]

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

Spoiler

But I remember my dad mentioning the final scene of a film called The Champ,

Spoiler

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:

What you've spoilered is a brilliant film, and very sad.

Titanic? Seriously Liam? Which parts make you cry the most in Titanic? Is your name really Liametta?

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

Robot!

It's not very relevant for the time now because it's very much a Christmas film but when George Bailey gets the Voyage of Tom Sawyer book from Clarence the Angel in 'It's a Wonderful Life' and the message says 'Remember - no man is a failure who has friends. Clarence. PS - thanks for the wings' and then the bell on the tree starts ringing (every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings), whilst they're all singing 'Auld Lang Syne' has always made me cry - one of the best films ever, and think Jimmy Stewart is absolutely amazing in it, as is the actor who played Clarence.

In fact, the whole ending from where he goes 'Help me Clarence, please, I want to live again. Please God let me live again' to the end is highly emotional... especially when you consider he's been considering suicide before all this.

It's emotional because it's so happy as well, not because it's sad, which is a nice change.

Saving Private Ryan has a few of them.

Spoiler

Hanks death always gets me.
And for pure shock and trauma, the Ohama beach scene where they're looking at the beach and saying "quite a view" at the end of the battle is very haunting.

Spoiler

That was one of my favorite movies as a kid.

If we're adding TV-series, the ending of Life on Mars --
