What the best TV or Movie scene you've seen?

[Mrsmedley]

This is off the back of the other thread for the most disturbing scene'
It can be something that moved you, thrilled you, made you cry etc.

I've just seen Ammonite with Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan as lovers and it has hands down the most realistic lesbian love scene I've ever encountered - they co-ordinated it themselves apparently ( rather than let a male director show what he thinks women might do together in bed) and it shows. Passionate, tender, very rude, realistic.

At the end of The Railway Children where Bobbie shouts 'Daddy my Daddy'.

Last scene in Homeward Bound when Shadow makes it back. Has me in tears just thinking about it.

The scene in ' Charlie Wilson's war' (if you haven't seen it and Love TOm Hanks then it is his FINEST!!). Where Philip Seymour Hoffman takes down his boss !!

Best bit of cinema in Historyin MHO !

Agree with 2 cathedrals.

Also WW when CJ finds out the secret service agent is dead, to Jeff Buckley's hallelujah.

But for me best of all is John Hannah reading stop all the clocks in 4 weddings and a funeral!

The final 'dream scene' of Drop Dead Fred when Phoebe Cates character rescues her younger self from her evil mother then wakes and does it for real.

Also the "Oh captain, my captain" scene from Dead Poets Society. Smoky in here, innit??

Oh, and another. The last 10 minutes of Ashes to Ashes.

When Sofia walks out of the barn in The Walking Dead season 2.

The reunion kiss from Brokeback Mountain is really moving

Jenny’s death in Forrest Gump.

The ending of one flew over the Cuckoos nest where chief uploads the simk and escapes

Shelby's funeral scene in Steel Magnolias. Sally Field is epic.

Yes to Sheldon's Nobel speech in The Big Bang Theory. Has me in tears every time.

George Bailey scraping the snow away from his brother Harry's headstone in "Its A Wonderful Life" to look at the date of death. Also the young George Bailey crying when he gets his ear boxed by Mr Gower and with Mary Hatch listening.

Danny Zuko looking over his shoulder with a fag clinging to his lips in Grease. He didn't need to say a word 😂. 4 year old me fell in love there and then.

The opening scene in The Newsroom where Jeff Daniels does his monologue about America not being the greatest country in the world. Mind blowing.

Also Two Cathedrals in the West Wing. That whole episode is exceptional. Sorkin though, innit?

Can't pick between the final 10-15 minutes of Last of the Mohicans or the Godfather Part 3 when the daughter is shot on the steps of the Opera House - Al Pacino's acting in that scene is something else.

Or maybe the kissing in the rain scene from 'Desert Hearts' which I saw age 14 and pretty sure turned me gay...

I saw Ammonite at the weekend also, and although thoroughly enjoyed, did wonder whether the sexual relationship was required to get it made. They couldn't just celebrate Mary Anning for her work, they had to spice it up by adding a totally unsubstantiated sex life.

@sally067 we have the same taste in films... Those are my other favourites!

Yes to Up.

Yes to Blackadder.

Yes to Inside No 9. The episode is call The 12 Days of Christine.

And my contribution is when Buffy's mother dies in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's so well done and feels like the longest scene in the world.

Anyone else got something in their eye 😭?
