Most Touching Movie Scenes (vanity - chit chat)

Posted on 06/21/2011 8:44:55 AM PDT by Scythian

This scene, when I saw it for the first time as a kid, cut deep, still moves me today:

Death of a Soldier ...

A dying wish given without words, a simple pleasure, the last memory of home, a smoke of tobacco.

What are some of the ones you remember ?

The Best Years Of Our Lives, the flashback scene in the cockpit in the junkyard, and when he comes out of it. Chokes me up just writing about it.

The scene in LOTR Two Towers where King Theoden mourns his dead son at the burial mounds.

Immortal Beloved

The scene at the end where Herr Schindler finally delivers the letter to Johanna Reiss. Her painful squall was gut-wrenching.

Pickett’s charge in “Gettysburg”.

The peak of the Confederacy and an epic tragedy.

For ALL Americans.

When I was little, the ending of Shane made me cry, according to my Mom.

Off the top of my head there are two:
‘Saving Private Ryan’ when the Ryan brothers’ Mother sees the car pull up and officers/pastor get out. She’s on the porch and kind of in silhouette. No dialog here. She slowly and methodically sits herself down on the porch anticipating the worst. Very sad.

Also, ‘On the Waterfront’ at the very end. There’s not much dialog here. The dock boss gets the tag line and I think it’s: ‘Let’s go to work!’ The camera switches to Brando. He just nods and walks into work. Very strong.

Also in the same film, Rod Steiger was probably his career best as Brando’s brother. The scene in the car sort of defined the movie for me.

I always liked when Dorothy finally was able to click her heels together and say, “There’s no place like home”.

Yep - that's tough. Or when a dying Theoden tries to comfort Eowyn on the battlefield.

Vanishing Point when Kowalski crashes the ‘70 big block Challenger into the D8 blade.

I still get misty thinking of that one.

The scene where Wilberforce was meeting with abolitionists and they dropped the heavy chains on the table.
