The Best movie I have ever seen well actually two are little known sleeper movies. If you get the chance rent one: Smoke and The Trip to Bountiful starring Geraldine Page (this was her last movie)

God Bless!

What??? you guys are copying me. I got this idea a long time ago and did a scene @ TOL from Smoke. I have been writing down movie scenes for a long long time. Before you were born probably.
Yes I read some of what was written here. How about the opening scene from 'The Apostle' and the wreck with the young man and his girl friend. This scence was very sureal as death sometime can be....Duvall tells the cop that he would rather die today and go to heaven than live to be a hundred and go to hell. This after giving comforting words to the young man.

For me, it's the end of Field of Dreams.

When Costner says "hey...dad? you wanna have a catch?" I just lose it, 'cause I never got to say goodbye to my father.

Gets me every single time...

The Odessa Steps scene from Battleship Potemkin. If you haven't seen it, you should.

Oh, yes - that scene makes me bawl like a baby without fail.

And someone mentioned Never Cry Wolf - the scene where the guy (Charles Martin Smith) is running naked with the wolves.

And from Saving Private Ryan - the fight scene where the German soldier kills the American with a knife, then walks down the stairs past the coward.

There is nothing sadder for me than the scene where the boy has to take the rifle and finish off his deer (flag) which was wounded by his mother shooting him in the movie 'The Yearling'. I just cry my heart out.

I can think of lots, but this one reigns supreme.

I will never, ever, EVER watch Sophie's Choice again. I can NOT handle the scene where she must choose which of her children will die. I have two daughters. That one scene tore my heart out. I cannot even think of it without bawling.

That one scene even made my father, a minister and the kindest, sweetest, most peace-loving man you could ever hope to meet, want to take a gun and do to the Nazi what he did to Sophie.

Yes and she sacrifices everything to keep her son alive and eeven this fails her and her son is murdered by the Natzis. She survives her children which destroys her. This is a very sad movie.
