I just got done watching ROTK on DVD and it does have a lot of touching scenes.

But the scene that always gets me is when Pippin is singing and the Riders of Gondor are going on a sucidal mission. The enemies arrows are released and Pippin slowly fade his singing to a whisper. And then how he just stop as tears roll down his cheeks. Then it cuts to the Steward stuffing his face with food and Pippin is glaring at him with the tears still glistening in his eyes. Then it shows Gandalf sitting alone with his head bowed as bells can be heard in the background.

So sad...

I was wondering what are some of the scenes that pull at your heart strings everytime you watch them and why?

The Notebook-

Allie and Noah breaking up and her having to move.

Allie returning to Noah angry that he didnt write her and when he told her he did for a year.

Old Allie's alzeimers returning in the middle of a dinner.

Old Noah having a heart attack.

WS Romeo + Juliet

Romeo killing Tibult(sp)

Romeo missing the fed-ex guy and while still thinking Juliet is dead drinking the poison.

Juliet finding Romeo dead and shooting herself.

Magnolia has plenty of them. When Frank and his father are reunited towards the end of the movie is one that jumps to mind.

The scene in Life as a House when Sam finds out that his father is going to die...It's really emotional and well-acted!

Actually, the whole movie, at least the last part of it, is emotional.

Also the scene in ROTK when Aragorn says to the hobbits that they don't have to bow to anyone and then everyone else bow to them was quite touching and emotional too....

The last one I saw was the last scene of Big Fish. I couldn't stop crying. that was so sad.

Hey everyone - this is a little too close to another thread, favorite scene.

Yes, I do see the difference but feel that most people won't - they'll put their favorite scene as the best emotional scene... *looks at posts*

So, I'm going to close this, but I'll remain open to any suggestions you all might have.

**********************
ETA - okay, I'm leaving it open for now since you're all describing what you consider to be emotional scenes, but if I see duplication, I'm closing this.

Moulin Rouge - when Christian is holding Satine in his arms while she's dying . I don't cry at movies, but watching that scene made the waterworks come on. My sis looked at me like I was crazy during that part cause she's not use to seeing me cry.

The Notebook when Allie is yelling at Noah in the rain on the dock about not writing her in 7 years and him telling her he did for a whole year. Then a very emotional, passionate embrace/kiss

Old Allie's alzeimers returning during a dinner with old Noah *bawl*
(I almost choked on a gummy bear during that one LOL)

Oh, there have been so many great emotional moments on the big screen. Captain von Trapp singing with his children for the first time in The Sound of Music, Rose jumping back onto the sinking Titanic to be with Jack, and Hallie and Annie's reunion in The Parent Trap are just a few of my favorites.

I want to add Steel Magnolias. It's always sad watching M'Lynn's rant during Shelby's funeral. I love how it starts off so sad and then Clairee turns it around into a comedic moment.

I agree with Moulin Rouge

Also I cried while watching A walk to remember, Passion of the Christ, and Cruel Intentions ( when Sebastian died )

I have more but I just cant think of any right now

~AnastasiaGrey~

Rose In Titantic, that she never will let go, and lets go of his hand.

*Ledi*

A lot of my favourite emotional scenes were already mentioned but okay..


Passion of the Christ ~ when Jesus falls down.. and Mary goes to him. Oh god, that had me bawling like a baby.

Moulin Rouge ~ I cry during the whole movie. When Christian says, "the woman I love is dead"... till the end of the movie, I'm bawling. Especially at the end.

The Notebook ~ When Ally & Noah are arguing and when old Ally's memory comes back for a few minutes.. and her and old Noah are crying.

Lord of the Rings ~ All three movies make me really sad. On the first movie, it's when Frodo gets injured by those black riders or whatever.. and when Arwen comes... and when she gets rid of those riders, and talks to Frodo.. it's just so sad. On the third movie - when Frodo can't make it anymore, and Sam gets him on his shoulder... and when Pippin is singing..



ok.. that's all I can think of for now, but I always cry during sad scenes, or even really happy ones for the matter...

Cotton Candy

OMG, that scene was incredibly powerful as well.

Minority Report: When the PreCog was at Tom's and his wifes house and was telling them how their sons life would've been if he had lived...{{sigh}}. The first thing she says is "Theres so much love in this house" and after she's finished telling them she says, "There was so much love in this house" and the lights coming through the window behind her. It was just a visually and emotionally beautiful scene. I would've cried if I hadn't been in the theatre.

Magnolia: When the gay character(can't remember his name or the guy who played him's name either) is in the bar with the bartender he has a crush on and he crying and he say's "I have so much love to give, and nobody to give it to" or something like that. I felt so bad for him.
