Most would be sex scene and ending scene.
@Doctor_D That’ll be the climax then? Good taste!
frankie and johnnie…..last 10 minutes…...Clair de Lune
Michelle Pfeiffer brushing her teeth in the window
I have so many favorite scenes.
The final car chase scene in Ronin is probably one of the best car chase scenes I have ever seen.
The scene in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon where she is watching her dead husbands brother do his form and she realizes she is in love with him is a pretty moving scene.
Donnie Darko when he shows up for school. The Tears for Fears montage.
O’ Brother Where Art Thou, the recording of Man of Constant Sorrow.
Shrek 3 where everyone is asking him to do “the roar.”
I know this is going to sound all girly and makes you wanna puke or something. Anyway movies I enjoy mostly always have something to do with love!, girls, starting in a new school and they have no friends and then comes this cute boy and they become really good friends and stuff. Also everything in The Vampire Diaries is so romantic, I have to see the Notebook though! I am sure I’ll cry.
@Thesexier Nah don’t make me puke, more like go awwwwww ;¬}
@ucme , lol okay, well I love movies like that. I could watch the same movie again and again and again, continuosly, without gettting bored of it.
Oh and the scene in Dog Day Afternoon, where he starts to cry because he does not want to hurt anyone but realizes that if he doesn’t he will be shot to death, at that moment the hostages actually feel sorry for the captor. That was good cinema.
Roy Batty’s death scene in Blade Runner.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack-ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I’ve seen C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.”
He’s holding a dove he caught and it flies free as he dies. Just brilliant.
If I listed all my favorite scenes this post would be a mile long. Here are two that immediately come to mind (both from old movies).
1) “The Red Shoes” – two young lovers ride in a horse-drawn carriage at night along the Riviera, a path so familiar that the carriage driver dozes and lets the horse lead the way. The photography, the color, the mood, the dialogue between the man and woman… breath taking!
2) “Viva Zapata” – Marlon Brando, portraying Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, in bed with his wife on their wedding night, pleads with her to teach him to read. So much does she love him that she fetches a Bible and begins toshowing him how to sound out each word, starting on the first page. Incredibly touching.
also if I may ask, what movie or tv shows do you suggest for me to watch, that make me cry???
@Austinlad I totally forgot about Viva Zapata. Great flick.
This scene from Full Metal Jacket ranks up there at the top.
I really had a hard time choosing between that scene and the scene from Fight Club where Tyler Durden gives this speech: “Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who’ve ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives.
We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off. ”
Apocalypse Now
At the end of the lunch scene where Captain Willard listens to the tape and accepts the mission, he looks up into the camera and breaks the fourth wall, and follows with a series of voice overs that, although not purely cinematic, nevertheless are for me some of the most powerful moments in film. Along with the striking cinematography, they set tone and mood par excellence.
“At first, I thought they handed me the wrong dossier. I couldn’t
believe they wanted this man dead. Third generation West
Point, top of his class. Korea, Airborne. About a thousand decorations.
Etc, etc… I’d heard his voice on the tape and it really put a hook
in me. But I couldn’t connect up that voice with this man. Like they
said he had an impressive career. Maybe too impressive… I mean
perfect. He was being groomed for one of the top slots of the
corporation. General, Chief of Staff, anything… In 1964 he returned
from a tour of advisory command in Vietnam and things started to
slip. The report to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Lyndon Johnson
was restricted. Seems they didn’t dig what he had to tell them. During
the next few months he made three requests for transfer to airborne
training in Fort Benning, Georgia. And he was finally accepted.
Airborne ? He was 38 years old. Why the fuck would he do that ?
1966 he joined the Special forces, returns to Vietnam…”
Later
..“He could have gone for General, but he went for himself instead.”
The opening bowling scene from the Big Lebowski.
In fireproof when the guy picks up his wife and they begin to kiss. Around the end of the movie…
Sleepless In Seattle! “I want whatever she is having!”
@BoBo1946 ...Is that line really in Sleepless in Seattle, or are you thinking of “I’ll have what she’s having!” from When Harry Met Sally?
The feather in Forrest Gump.
