I agree 100%. That was a very moving scene. Ewen McGregor really is an amazing actor. The end of Closer is depressing. Everything in Eternal Sunshine is depressing...

This scene was very sad and very well acted.

The theater audience started cheering when I saw it back in the day.
I absolutely love this movie, and the book on which its based "The Diggstown Ringers"! One of my favorite movie quotes comes from a deleted scene used for the trailer...After the scene where James Woods tells Louis Gossett Jr. "Remember one thing...you, are black."
Later on in the movie (and I'm stumped as to why they cut this line of dialogue) When Honey Roy is fighting Slim's brother, Honey Roy was supposed to say "Did you tell him he was black too?" MAN!!! I wish they'd left that in!!!
If you ever get a chance to read the book, get it...Its great. Doesn't follow the movie very closely, but its pretty freakin' sweet!

If I can find the book, I'll give it a try. I did a quick web search, but most places had it out of stock. Ebay had 1 first addition copy, but wanted 26 dollars.
I'll keep an eye out though.

I agree with Staggerly. I bawled through most of The Passion of the Christ, but the scenes with Mary were the hardest (I missed some of the more gory scenes because I had my hands over my eyes. So they don't count.)
Also, the end of ET, when ET goes home. I've seen it a billion times, but I always cry.
And Anne of Greene Gables 1) when Matthew dies and 2)When Anne and Gilbert finally get together at the very end.
(I'm such a girl, I know.)
From LOST, when Charlie died. He was dead for so long, I thought that there was no way they could bring him back after this long. That scene seemed to go on forever. I just kept thinking "THEY CAN'T KILL CHARLIE! THEY JUST CAN'T." And after Jack brought him back, I was so angry at the writers for putting me through that.
Oh, The Body got me, too. I was so upset. What really got me was when Buffy has the little dream where she saves her mother, the EMTs come, they're in an ambulance, and then it flashes back to her mom lying on the couch, still dead. It just HURT so bad. I don't think I breathed through most of that episode.

I loved this movie. The friends I saw it with hated it. I stayed with me for days. Have you read that book? Completely different, and just as good in its own way.

- The entire film of "Gia".
It was so well acted. I own it and look over at the dvd cover and smile because I own it, but I've watched it only once. I can't put myself through it again.
- Legends of the Fall..But only because I recognize the pain. I remember friends calling me and saying that they understood me better having watched that movie. ::puzzled look:: Okaayy. I guess they could see that pain in me as well.
I guess when I look over these two movies, I'm kind of a dark person. Oh well we all have to be some shade - just remember those hues change.

(Side note: Hi! I'm new here. * waves *)
Lost in Translation. The entire film has this beautiful, ephemeral feel to it, and the last scene embodies it perfectly.
Firefly, Out of Gas.

Firefly, Objects in Space.

Buffy's vision of saving her mother in The Body, her death in The Gift and Tara's in Seeing Red. ``Your... shirt.''
And this isn't a movie, but the last line in Andrea Seigel's Like the Red Panda kindof makes my heart stop.

Two scenes from the Abyss. I've mentioned before how this movie has flaws (though the director's cut is far superior to the theatrical version), but it did have some powerful moments.
The first is the scene where Bud has to watch his wife drown right in front of him, dying in his arms. As a husband, I felt his pain, knowing how impossible that would be to watch the woman you love die in such a horrific manner.
The other scene is the follow-up to the last scene, where he's brought her body back to the underwater drilling platform, and the crew is desperately trying to revive her. His frustration and determination is so moving, as he screams at her "You bitch! You never gave up on anything in your whole life! Now fight, FIGHT, FIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Powerful stuff!
Though as a whole, the Abyss wasn't perfect, that film had some of Cameron's best directing, and he got some amazing performances out of his cast.
I'd given some thought to movin' off the edge -- not an ideal location -- thinkin' a place in the middle.

Ok, let's see now...
Gotta agree with the Lion King. I remember seeing it in the cinema and crying my eyes out.
Also, does anyone remember My Girl? My mum almost sued those guys! They killed the Home Alone kid!!!
Can't forget the best ever ep. of the Creek when Pacey smacks his dad for taking the piss out of Andy, and when his dad apologises Pacey breaks down in his arms and says "I miss her so much!"
A film I've seen recently that I thought was amazing was a film called Rumble Fish. It's about this guy who thinks he's just like his older brother but in fact is nothing like him. The end of that film left me all over the place for hours afterwards. It sounds pretty crap from that description but I'm trying my best not to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Any fans of Mickey Rourke will love this film, definitely at his incredible best in it.
If I can just bend the rules a little here...
I'd also like to add The Dark Tower VII. When I read about Roland walking with Jake into the forest I had to put the book down for hours because it was too painful. I just wanted to kill King for doing that.
