Your single most moving scene in a film

[Veeayt]

Recently I watched A.I. and the scene in which mother drops her robot son makes my eyes watered as if I was a big girl (which probably am). I'd guess after all these years of divorcing and then looking after my son it presses on deepest sore spots of me. So what's yours?

Can I pick TV instead of film?

Cassandra's miscarriage in OFAH. Gets me every time I see it.

I have never watched the Green Mile again as it really got to me and I don't usually give a hoot.

honestly? end of watership down.

[Blue Cat]

End of Gallipoli - every time just want Mel Gibson to get back in time to stop them.

The final scene of Cinema Paradiso, where the famous director plays the old reel of film left to him by the projectionist from the small town he grew up in.

I'm welling up now just thinking about it.

The end of Shadowlands. Dreadful gushing blabbing. Big girls blouse.

Towards the end of Schindler's list when he's about to leave his workers, they give him the ring they made for him and he breaks down. Really moving scene and puts a lump in my throat every time.


Also another one that gets me, the scene in The Fly 2 (a crap sequel). Where Brundle jr finds and puts to sleep his mutated dog that the scientist's had experimented on. Properly sad moment, the poor dog.

The first 15/20 minutes of Disney/Pixars "UP" A childrens animated film should not reduce a grown man to blubbery snotty tears and sobbing so he has to pause the dvd and go and splash his face with water in the bathroom before he can continue.

The final credits from Philidelphia, showing Hank's character as a child set to a really haunting tune.

[The Hypno-Toad]

The ending to Starman.

"Let me come with you,"
"I can not. You will die,"
"I don't think I care,"

"Goodbye.... Jenny Hayden,"

Almost this. It's not the first 2o mins, it's THAT scene. No dialogue, just 3 or 4 mins of visual montage set to music. I tried to describe it to a mate and it made me cry. Absolutely genius film making.

It's a kids film ffs!
