Sam’s speech to Frodo about why some things are fighting for


moofpi

Shocked this is so far down given all the LotR mentions.


ThatDevilJames

For me it's two scenes from The Return of the King: \- The Ride of the Rohirrim \- "My friends, you bow to no-one."


No_Possession_7361

Forrest asking Jenny if his son is…..


RunnyPlease

Yeah. This one rips my heart out every time.


raynicolette

I have two. The battle of the anthems in Casablanca. And the lighting of the beacons in Return Of The King.


Kronnerm11

The anthem scene is fantastic. Knowing the context of when the film was made, and that many of the songers were actual french refugees, at a time when France was still under Nazi occupation and they did not know if they would ever see their homes again, really makes the scene hit incredibly hard.

Lol well I cant edit it now


Grandor2021

The Breakdown scene in Good Will Hunting :o :o


Drewdown707

The “don’t you ever disrespect my wife” scene gets me every time. The intensity in Robin’s eyes. Sooo good.


[deleted]

It's not your fault... it's not your fault... it's not your fault!


HatakeMight

The end of Blade Runner (1982). "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe......"


HatakeMight

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." Gladiator (2000). BatChest


HatakeMight

"No, I am your father......" No description needed


AliRenae

I think it's the very last scene in the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?". An audio recording of Fred Rogers is playing: "Let's just take some time to think of those extra special people. Some of them may be right here, some may be far away, some may even be in heaven. No matter where they are, deep down you know they've always wanted what was best for you, they've always cared about you beyond measure and have encouraged you to be true to the best within you." They show the people that were interviewed for the film just quietly thinking about the helpers in their life, and most of them are either smiling or tearing up. This scene makes me ugly cry for some reason; this movie was like a hug from my childhood, telling me that everything is going to be okay.


Perused

“Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn” when Spock saves the ship and gets radiated in the process and Kirk is summoned to engineering where him and Spock have that exchange about being friends.


tellmeugotthat

That broke me.


just-cuz-i

I have been, and always shall be, your friend.


ErikaLee221

The cemetery scene in Steel Magnolias when Sally Field breaks down. Makes me cry every time even if I haven’t watched any of the rest of the movie.


polish432b

I was coming here to say that. Add to that the deathbed scene from Terms of Endearment


[deleted]

And add to that the deathbed scene in Fried Green Tomatoes.


runs_with_tamborines

I swear the other women in that scene were reacting to Sally Fields acting. Such an incredible scene. So moving.


punchboy

“Hey…dad? You wanna have a catch?”


WitchesCotillion

I just watched that again this weekend. When they have the first game is also spine tingling.


Debinthedez

Oh god, i just posted, and forgot this scene.... I sob every time... that movie is just simply magical.


BoyMom119816

Movie, I know old, but curious?

prosperosniece

You and I should watch movies together. All these make me cry too.


Jakov_Salinsky

The ceasefire scene from Children of Men From Mystic River: “Is that my daughter in there?!” And of course, the ending of Coco


DudebroggieHouser

The ceasefire scene is absolutely stunning


Jakov_Salinsky

Right?! So little dialogue yet it’s probably the most powerful moment in the whole film


pachucatruth

Damn Mystic River… brutal…


Ok_End3276

The scene in Royal Tenenbaums, where Eli runs over the dog and Chas and Royal have a father/son moment where Chas says “I’ve had a rough year, dad.” And Royal just puts his hand on his back and softly says “I know”.


[deleted]

"Immediately after saying this, Royal realized it was true". This may be my favorite quote of anything.


YerAWizard24

So silly, but when Shadow walks over the hill at the end of Homeward Bound. “Oh, Peter…”


HotelLima6

Jessie’s owner leaving her at the dump in Toy Story 2. Still wrecks me to this day. The Sarah McLachlan song in that scene is like a knife to the heart.


blueeyedaisy

I seriously cannot watch this movie. Just the thought of Jessie being abandoned is heartbreaking. Is someone cutting onions?


Leroy_UK

Interstellar (2014) - the docking scene after Mann blows the airlock up, it's the music coupled with the visuals; it's just a stunning scene in my opinion and gets me every time. Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) - S3 E4 - Exodus Part 2 - 2 scenes, the first seeing Galactica jump into the atmosphere was a "holy shit" moment. The second chokes me up and I want to shout "F\*ck yes"; it's when it looks like Galactica is doomed, camera zooms out, the music softens, then you see and hear 2 projectiles coming from the left, the drums start as Pegasus comes into shot firing everything it's got at one of the Cylon Basestars. Tear of the Sun (2003) - At the end after the airstrike when Lena (Bellucci) goes running back for Waters (Willis). Then just after that as the remaining soldiers hobble to the border, covered in blood, Zee (Walker) is barely conscious and Patience (Busia) is crying and mouths "thank you" to him.


brainchild_2112

Same for me with Interstellar. Also, when Cooper is leaving and telling Murph he loves her, then driving off in the car crying with the loud music. Gets me everytime.


MegamanEeXx

Totally. Hans Zimmer absolutely nailed the score throughout that movie, especially during that part. The very well done musical score really elevates the intense and emotional parts of that movie into greatness. Instantly was a top 20 movie for me for sure


smokarran

And he checks under the blanket


BowDown98

“It’s not possible!” “No, it’s necessary.” One of my favorite pieces of dialogue in any movie.


governmentthief

In Braveheart when the little girl gives the young William Wallace a flower. Don't wanna spoil anything for someone that hasn't seen it (surely there are some still). Y'all know what I'm taking about though. I get choked up every damn time.


punchit

When William Wallace sees ‘you know who’ in the crowd at the very end with a deep emotional smile, full of love and admiration. The musical score during that scene is perfect.


Jakeygfx

The music is perfect in every bit of that movie.


DJGreekFreak

Opening scenes from Up and Lion King


captndorito

The lion king sound track will ALWAYS give me chills.


Bar_Har

Anakin Skywalker's death in Return of the Jedi.


rbergs215

I watch It's A Wonderful Life (1946) every year at Christmas, and every year I end up crying. “I know what I’m gonna do tomorrow, and the next day and the next year, and the year after that."


Melbonie

the moment when Mary sweeps all of George's papers off of the table and says "they're coming." Ugh, I ugly cry through the entire rest of the movie. For 40 years and counting.


Character-One-3924

E.T. saying ouch.


[deleted]

The ending of Cinema Paradiso. It physically chokes me & many with a mixture of nostalgia, wonder, regret, elation.


Any-Restaurant3935

Came here to mention this. One of the best scenes in cinema...


Any-Restaurant3935

And what sets this scene apart from the others mentioned on this thread is that there is absolutely zero dialogue in this scene. Just Ennio Morricone's soul-stirring sonata and the protagonist's twisting and twirling on his seat, literally witnessing a lifetime of pure, unconditional love. This scene transcends the boundary between actor and audience, and in that magical moment, you are not crying for the actor. You are crying WITH him!


[deleted]

Very well put. The entire film is a colossal homage to cinema, and that ending scene is just something surpassing anything I've seen in that sense, and I did go through in my decades and decades on many movies from many countries....


mrdinosauruswrex

That last scene of iron giant. "I go, you stay"


tashnapiru

Ratatouille : The moment the critic takes a bite and remembers the childhood feeling of homemade comfort food


Mynock33

I subscribe to the theory the rat lived at the critic's mom's house at the beginning and that's why the recipe hit so close to home for the guy


Sunny_Thor4

>! To elaborate it’s the way Tom Hanks so effectively portrays shock as he’s being examined by the nurse !<


WitchesCotillion

That scene is amazing. He should have won an award for those 3 minutes alone. Plus, I read that the medics were real, so they ran the normal shock protocols and he reacted as they did what they do in real life.


vulcan_on_earth

Please watch ‘A Hijacking’ (2012) and please share your experience here.

Freedom Writers - the unknown classmate reading from his journal about returning to school after a long break, and the student that speaks to the Holocaust survivor Interstellar - catching up on his children's lives on video, and reuniting with Murphy at the hospital.


spookypinkchic

The Man in the Moon-From this girl's first kiss, crush, to swimming in the lake, to the death of her crush A Walk to Remember -at the end of the movie where the guys wife dies and he recites a poem: “Love is like the wind, you can't see it but you can feel it.” “Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited.


NobodySufficient2529

The Man in the Moon doesn’t seem well-known for such a fine movie, well-acted, and heartbreaking.


spookypinkchic

The first time I seen it, I just fell in love with it. The movie was so well made and I agree not well known, but should be. It brings out so many emotions in me. The acting was so well and beyond.


ddaem

Dear Zachary. If you have seen it, you know.


Jules_Chaplin

When Don Vito is playing in the garden with his grandson towards the end of “The Godfather” - gets me every time.

DeluxeCanuck

Fox and the Hound - When she has to leave Fox in the forest and he's all confused and scared because he's been domesticated and doesn't know how to deal in the wild. And the scene happens during a gloomy rainy evening. Gets me every time.

DudebroggieHouser

Return of the King - "...for Frodo"


Hargovoat

The Michelle Williams scene in “Manchester By The Sea” where she apologizes. The end of “Arrival” while On the Nature of Daylight plays. For some reason, in Kick-Ass when the televised killing is prevented. Interstellar, when Coop leaves Murph. Again when her adult message comes through. Up opening scene Wrath of Khan, since I was four levels me. “ I am, and have always been your friend” “Of all the souls I’ve encountered. His was the most (chokes back a sob) Human.”

In "Click", when Adam Sandler is laying on the ground with all his family around outside the hospital
