Most emotional scene in a movie?

the real end of titanic when Rose (old) drops the Jewel into the sea......with Jack *sob* *sniffle*

The end of Goodfellas where devito and his bro get done with baseball bats- very violently emotional scene:eek:

The end of Back to the future when Doc says "roads, we dont need roads" happy emotional:)
 
The end of Gladiator when he goes to meet up with his wife again...:(
Saving Private Ryan when Tom Hanks dies...:(
The last Samurai when Katsumoto is saying goodbye to his Son..:(
 
Final scene of It's a Wonderful Life where all Jimmy Stewart's friends rally round to give him the money he needs.

Scene in Casablanca at the aerodrome where Bogart tells Ingid Bergman she has to leave with her husband.

Scene in the Dambusters where Guy Gibson tells Barnes Wallis that the guys who didn't come back from the raid would have gone anyway even if they'd known they wouldn't return.

Now I'm blubbing like a baby.
 
Didn't reduce me to tears but it made me extremely uncomfortable watching it. Ben kingsly screaming abuse at Ray winstone in sexy beast. Ben kingsly was unhinged and truly terrifying!

But for proper tears it has to be watching Casper the ghost, maybe cos I've got two young sons, I can't watch it it's too upsetting, I'm starting to well p just thinking about it!

Cheers

I thought ist was Casino where they get doen with baseball bats in the corn field. Pesci got it in the back of the head for killing a made man in Goodfellas.
 
Yes, it was Casino,and it looked like they were still alive when they buried 'em.
Wouldn't call it emotional though !

For me, probably The Green Mile.
 
The end scenes in AI artificial intelligence, the bit where the robot kid gets to spend one more day with his mum before living the rest of eternity alone, he has a robot teddy that lives with him and he goes and lies down with him at the end...I'm bloody welling up typing this. It get's me beefing every time.
 
Not 'emotional' in the sense of tears welling up etc, but I the range of emotions on Bob Hoskin's face in the last scene of the Long Good Friday is incredible.
 
Forest Gump when Forest is talking to Jenny's grave.

Was about to give you all a load of abuse for being silly softies, but then the above appeared.
have watched FG god knows how many times and this really gets me. In fact it's usally teh bit when she's still alive, when she's got AIDS or whatever she has, and she realises what what a good bloke he is.

I reckon it's just like my life where the really nice guys never gets the girl until she realises much later on that he was a solid bet all along (not the bit about playing table tennis against the communists or meeting Pre kennedy etc)
 
Terms of Endearment the whole mother and son relationship when she passes.

Beaches is a bad one too (the missus makes me watch it ;))

And here's one for you... The Passion of the Christ when carrying his cross to Calvary and falls and Mary see's him and recalls how when he was a baby she runs to help him...
 
Yes, it was Casino,and it looked like they were still alive when they buried 'em.
Wouldn't call it emotional though !
.
Yes it was casino, my bad! You watched that scene without any emotion! Man your hard!

@gb72, I thought I was the only one that loved that scene, the music, brosnan staring and Hopkins going from WTF thru anger to final acceptance was just genius

@robontherock, agreed, Kingsley just oozed violence in his manner, totally gripping, I also thought Ian mcshane looked and acted hard as feck and his dead eye stare was incredible.

@mashie, forgot about a wonderful life, think I've seen it 600 times and blubbered 601 times!

Can I offer Will Smith's suicide in "Seven Pounds"

Left me in tears, and I can't bear Will Smith.

That and when Sully (and Mike?) go back to visit Boo in "Monsters Inc".
 
Few have been mentioned of mine. Goose dying in Top Gun. Man on Fire ending. Will Smith's 7 Pounds. I am legend (the bit where he has to kill his dog)

Ones not mentioned. The speech Owen Wilson makes in Marley and me about him being the best dog ever.

Hachi ( the ending)
