The scene in Dead Poets Society where Robin Williams' character is introducing his students to poetry. He says something along the lines of "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute; we read and write poetry because were are members of the human race and the human race is full of passion. And medicine, law, business, these are all noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

This whole scene from Glory

in titanic when the captains of the ship were going though the water to look for surviors and they go pass a mother and her babylaying dead in the water. it made me cry.

Only two scenes, and by one of the best things that has ever happened to me, I found one on YouTube. I have never cried as much from a movie as this. I feel very strongly toward these scenes and I... I just LOVE THEM!! I could only find one, and watch it. You might not cry as much as I did, but I still did. Stop at 6:24, that is where the scene ends. THIS IS CLICK, BY THE WAY.

It would have to be the scene from "Good Will Hunting" when Robin Williams tells Matt Damon "its not your fault" over and over again. Ive seen the movie like 10 times and it still makes me cry.

I wish I had a YouTube for this scene. It is truely a masterpiece. From the superb 1989 civil war film "Glory". The defiant ex-slave played by Denzel Washington, is punished by a leather strap on his back. Though no words were said, the scene is unforgetable. It was this scene that won Denzel Washington his first Oscar, for Best Supporting Actor. If you haven't seen "Glory", it is a must see.

recently i saw Martin Scorses's "The Departed" the ending has a very powerful almost shakespearian ending. Donnie Darko is also great and this italian movie i watched in school called "life is beautiful" its about the holocaust is also rememerable

The bit in Scarface when Tony Montana is looking out of his window and sees the airship float past with the words "The World is Yours" on it.

For your pleasure, this inspires me (good or bad I'm not sure) every time. It also has my favourite line too!

Ever seen the Shawshank Redemption? What do you mean no?!? Anyway there is a scene that shows an old prisoner who has spent so much of his life inside that when he is finally released he simply cannot fit back into society. He is given a job packing bags at a grocery store, but he has no purpose in life anymore, since he achieved freedom. He has no friends on the outside and no social life, so in the end he writes a letter to all his friends inside the prison, then ties a rope around his neck and jumps over a stairwell. You feel so sorry for him as you watch him trying to integrate back into life outside but the world had changed so much he just couldn't cope and in the end the only release for him was the ultimate release of death. Trust me, if you watch the whole film, it is really emotionally charged.

The anime "Lain" gives me a feeling of strong anxiety every time I watch it. I'm not completely sure what specific scene sets it off from the others, but it gives me a sadistic sense that anything is possible.

The scene in Ghost World, were everyone's gone, and Enid sits down on the now empty bus stop bench, gets on the bus and just rides off into the sunset.

The scene from "Forrest Gump" when Forrest's girlfriend leves him after spending a few days with him..and he is left all alone in the big house...and he puts on the shoes she had given him and keeps staring in the open! Then he suddenly gets up and starts running...and keeps running..all across America.... Thats a really touching scene.

Only one comes to mind... Saving Private Ryan, the scene where Tom Hanks is sitting in front of the radio tower after losing one of his men (the scene where they capture the german machine gun nest),... he looks behind him to make sure no one can see him and he just loses it. Powerful acting.

The last scene in the movie "Wit" with Emma Thompson is especially heartbreaking to me. It is when she is in the hospital dying of cancer, and no one comes to see her and in all her pain the only thing that matters is that she doesn't want to be alone, so her nurse comes in and reads to her.

The scene in "Scent of a Woman" where Charlie (Chris O'Donnell) stops Frank (Al Pacino) from killing himself.

with out a doubt in my mind it has to be in "American history X" when the guy kills the black guys that are trying to steal his truck, then to finish the last one off he curbstomps him into the street. very impactful

The opening scene in the movie "Contact". It sort of puts things into perspective...

Absolutely hands-down for me, it has to be the near-end scene of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, when Joel + Clementine are in Joel's memories, trying to prevent their erasure. They are at Montauk, in the big beach house. Everything starts crumbling around them while they are having a short exchange about what went wrong. Then, as it is all falling apart at last, you hear Clementine's throaty whisper of "Meet me in Montauk". It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Then again, I am kind of a sap. :-)

The scene in "Angels with dirty faces" Jimmy Cagney kicking & screaming on his way to the chair did he turn chicken or did he do it for the kids so they would not idolise him anymore and follow in his footsteps Mr Cagney would never tell

The movie scene that has had the most powerful effect on me is from the movie adaptation of the play Wit.It comes towards the end when Vivian, (the main character who is dying from ovarian cancer) has become very weak, and is in a great deal of pain, and despair. At this point, she has her very first, and her only true visitor, her old professor, E.M. Ashford, who comes to comfort her. During this scene, professor Ashford reads Vivian the short story The Runaway Bunny, as Vivian cries into her lap, and soon falls asleep.The part of this scene that really touches me is the professor's last words to Vivian, which are: "It's time to go. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest." Not only are the words beautiful and comforting, but the visit itself was so brief, that it was as though the professor were herself an angel simply telling Vivian that her time had come, and that the visit represented the end of her suffering. This is a film that I highly recommend. To truly feel the effect of this scene, one has to watch the entire movie, and see first-hand Vivian's tragic deterioration. I watched it about a month ago, and I am still effected by it. I have never been so moved by a movie, let alone a scene from a movie.

The climax to Requiem for a dream. Where the guys is getting his arm sawed off. and his mom is getting electrochock therapy, and his girlfriend is being forced to have sex with another girl. Its all because of drugs, and made me never want to do any drug EVER again.

ARMAGEDDON WHEN BRUCE WILLIS IS TALKING TO HIS DAUGHTER FOR THE LAST TIME.... CLICK AT THE END WHEN HE'S DYING AND TALKING TO HIS KIDS LOTR THE LAST SCENE WHERE THE GUY DIES TRAINING DAY WHEN DENZEL IS YELLING ABOUT THE COPS LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL WHEN THE GUY IS JOKING WITH HIS SON THEN HE GETS TAKEN TO THE BACK AND GETS SHOT EVERY SINGLE SCENE PRETTY MUCH FROM PASSION OF THE CHRIST THE PATRIOT WHEN BOTH HIS SONS DIE

Blood Diamond (2006 with Leonardo DiCaprio) The title refers to blood diamonds, which are diamonds mined in African war zones and sold to finance the conflicts and profit the warlords and the diamond companies across the world. I've never had a veneration for diamonds and after seeing this film, I have absolutely no desire to ever own one. I also remember, Un Zoo la nuit (Night Zoo), an award winning Canadian film about an ex-con, Marcel (Gilles Maheu), who tries to pick up the pieces of his life after a brutal stint in prison. Struggling for equilibrium, he reunites with his dying father (Roger Le Bel) and the pair retreat deep into the woods to fish and hunt. His father dies; there is a heart wrenching scene where the son washes his father's body in preparation for his funeral.
