Gallipoli. The very end.
Hoss
I cry when there is a plausible, realistic scene where an every man, knowing full well the fate that awaits him, musters the courage to face it with dignity and honor. I believe this is actually ingrained in all Christian men, because it tugs at our heart from John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Braveheart
Although Hopkins is not laying his life down for another *directly*, his final scene in Meet Joe Black is also a picture of courage and redemption that brought tears to my eyes.
Also, movies where the focus character is exemplary, and death is so absolutely unjust that you spend the movie hoping that somehow it will be avoided, but it is not.
