Most Heart-Wrenching Movie Moment

[moonchild64]

What is yours? I mentioned mine in my review of "I Am Legend", but I will mention them here also:

Mel Gibson's balcony scene in "Ransom" when he breaks down.

Tom Hanks' scene in "The Terminal" when he first sees on the overhead tv monitors that his country is being blown up. NEVER have I seen one man say so much without uttering a word!!!

And my latest 2 came from "I Am Legend". The scene with the dog (if you saw the movie then you know which one I am talking about) and the one right after when Will's character says "Hello" to the "Lady" in the video store.

Please share yours with me. Don't get too specific in case some of us haven't seen the movie. Yet, hopefully you can say enough to make me want to watch it also.

I can't think of many off the top of my head, but I got that knot in my chest this weekend towards the end of Bucket List - mostly for Morgan Freeman's character's family.
I second you on the I am Legend dog scene.
I'll try to think of more.

Das Boot

--some of the mining scenes, when it seems all hope is lost, particularly one where they are very dire straits, literally and figuratively--anger, resolution, crying, fear, desperation--quite a potent mix depicted on screen there

oh man, this movie is absolutely incredible! and i agree...definitely heartwrenching

one i think of off hand is This Is England...the scene near the end...I think my heart literally stopped at one point...

Step mom
when Julia Roberts character is talking to the daughter about her mom not being at her wedding. Julia Roberts admits to being jealous because she won't be her real mom. It was a real tear jerker for me.

Wow ... y'all have mentioned some great scenes! I haven;t seen Das Boot or Bucket List yet. Bucket List is one I was planning to watch. I thought it would be a good one to watch when I needed levity ... and now you tell me it has a tear-jerker scene. Oh no! Good to know though ... I will still watch it ... only now I know not to be alone.

The Notebook
I can't really pick a scene but I guess my favorite was the ending young/old love I cried so hard watching this movie.

The S E X and the City Movie when the Mr Big didn't show up to the wedding and when they met in the street and he realized he had made a mistake and she just kept hitting him with the flowers.... This was a great movie!
