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 ?

I Watched Star Trek: Thw Wrath of Khan in Pensacola with a theater full of Navy guys in uniform. During Kirk’s eulogy of Spock at the end, two burly sailors next to me were bawling their eyes out.

Another vote for the "telegraph" scene in "Saving Private Ryan". I have one of those telegraphs from ww2 with my grandpa's name on it.

"The Blindside"...When the family opens up it's home to Michael when he had no one else. I been in Michael's shoes and a family do the same for me.

The scene in Star Wars where Luke Skywalker’s in that dungeon and the monster chases him through the doorway, then Luke throws a rock at the control panel and drops that heavy spiked iron door down on its head, and the monster’s owner starts choking up while he’s walking over to him.

I know, I know - call me a romantic...

No question. Kevin Cosner's’ character, Ray Kinsella, closing line in “Field of Dreams” when he calls out to his father, “Hey, Dad? Wanna’ catch?” I weep like a little boy every time I watch that scene.

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

It would have been nice if that "good" witch Glenda had told her about that little shoe function when she first put them on.

Would have saved the poor girl a lot of walking at least.

“The Blindside”

What made me tear up was the scene when the Michael said, “I never had one before”. The Mom said, “A bedroom?” Michael: “A bed”. Dang, I just teared up again.

One scene that gets me every time is the beginning of “Finding Nemo”, when the father holds the one remaining egg, and says “Daddy’s Got You.”

The scene from Wuthering Heights at Kathy’s deathbed was a real tear jerker.

Somewhere In Time, Jane Seymor (?) and Christopher Reeve. The movie is a masterpiece. He goes back in time to find the woman he has fallen in love with. He is told to take nothing of the present back in time with him but a coin remains in his pocket that once he and Jane consummate their love she finds the coin and he is immediately thrust back to our time. He is so heartbroken at losing her because he can’t return to the past that he sits in his hotel room and starves to death mourning the loss of his great love. They are reunited in death when she meets him and holds her hand out to him. I’m crying just remembering.

Well, being a parent, I've always liked when Kate Nelligan is walking home with a bag of groceries and turns down her street and looks down the block at all the commotion and police cars in front of her house and wonders what's going on. Without a Trace, with Judd Hirsch. Very low key movie and a little hard to watch (again, as a parent) at all the frustration Kate goes through about her missing son, but the end makes up for it.

The lines I’ve seen lately were in the movie Taken when Liam Neeson said....I get those tingles up my leg.

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

The ending in “Breaker Morant” and pretty much all of “Out of Africa”

Nicolas Cage’s death scene in “Kick Ass”

Hit Girl: “It hurt less when you shot me, daddy.”

Big Daddy: “I used low velocity rounds.”

Hit Girl: “I love you, daddy!”
