Moving movie scenes.

[Bedbynoon]

Please share movie scenes that moved you. I have 2. First one is Mama Mia here we go again when Donna snd Sophie do a duet at her baby’s christening (even typing this I’m welling up ). Also another the end of Artificial Intelligence where the little robot boy has one last perfect day with his mum then he gets in the bed with her knowing she would never wake up. Never heard anyone else mention this one. Totally sobbed!

Shelby's funeral scene in Steel Magnolias. Sally Field's portrayal of a grieving mother is epic. "Oh god. I realize as a woman how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life."

Half of Marriage Story. When Scarlett Johannsen’s character does her monologue about how she lost herself to her husband’s life and dreams, so very true for so many women. And ends with a spectacular, “Oh, and I think he slept with the stage manager.” And then when Adam Driver’s character reads the letter she wrote at the end, about why she loved him. And of course that amazing rendition of Being Alive. That film is so good.

Lion...where he is reunited with his mum and asks about his brother.

Jojo Rabbit. Where he tried to tie his mums shoe laces after he finds her and can't 😭and then the dancing at the end

Practically every scene in Up! Especially when we see the flashback history with his wife 😢

Slipping through my fingers bit in Mamma Mia.
Emma Thompson holding back tears and making the bed in Love Actually.
The bit in Billy Elliot when his dad crosses the picket line.

All have me blubbing like a baby!

For me, it's the poignancy of it. Films based on a generation of people passing away. In 20 years time there will be no WW2 veterans left. The word "hero" is so overused these days. Hero to me is someone leading a bayonet charge against a machine gun post, whereas the modern interpretation is to come on MN and request a "hand hold" because the neighbour has put up a fence panel the wrong way round. Emotional incontinence.

Yesterday Bobby Charlton died. The last survivor of the Munich air disaster. A living link gone forever, and survived only in history books. I went on BBC news to read the tributes but instead my attention was drawn to a story about a tube driver whipping up pro-Palestine protestors. The UK as we knew it is dying. The lunatics are taking over the asylum and it's all a bit depressing if I'm honest.

Michael Caine & the late Vanessa Redgrave play Bernie & his wife, Rene.

@MaidOfSteel apologies if someone's already said this, but Vanessa Redgrave is still alive. Rene was played by Glenda Jackson, who died in June this year. 😢

Schindler’s List, the whole movie I was in tears but the scene at the end where the real people and the actors playing them lay the stones down - . Had to be taken to the pub and bought a brandy after this.

Yes.

It should be the least sad part of that film but it gets me too.

ET when he finally gets to go home 😌

The last few minutes of Billy Elliott, moving but in a good way.

I was going to say this too!
If you know, you know!

The bit in the Book Thief when the bomb drops on Himmel Street.
The end of Allied when Marianne kill's herself to save her family.
Sarah's key when they discover Michel's body.
All of Hotel Rwanda.
The bit when Ismail dies in The Ottoman Lieutenant.

The bit in Crash when the little girl jumps between the man shooting and her father to save him.

Dances with wolves, the friends scene/speech at the end on the cliff.
gladiator final scene

Shelby's funeral in Steel Magnolias.

Also the re-entry moment in Apollo 13.

I've never been able to watch Up! Pixar movies crush me.

Never been able to watch the final Morse.

The bit in Shadowlands where Anthony Hopkins (C.S.Lewis) finds his stepson trying to get through the back of the wardrobe to where his mum was still alive. Absolutely blubber.

Blubbed!

Anthony Hopkins in The Father.
He brings us on a dignified journey from anger and suspicion to bewilderment and apathy and it’s heartbreaking.

Anyone with family members who had or have Alzheimer’s should watch it.

The last scene in Cinema Paradiso 😭

An Affair to Remember when Cary Grant realises why she didn't turn up to meet him at the Empire State Building

Being childless, the beginning of Up is like a punch in the gut - I can’t watch it without being a sobbing wreck

The Lovely Bones when the little girl meets the other children in heaven.

Sophie's Choice.

Twin Towers with Nicholas cage the bit where they are saved from the rubble.
(Also not a movie but I watched a series about 9/11 called One day in America and sobbed throughout.)

The funeral scene in My girl.

When the little boy escapes in Room.

Among many..
but for me the Emma Thompson/Joni Mitchell Love Actually scene gets me.

If you have been ‘that’ women who has to put on a brave face in front of your children 😔

First time I saw it at Xmas after becoming that wife/mother my god it hit me. The whole getting herself together in the bedroom and making appearance back in the lounge.
