Best Emotional Scene

Good Will Hunting - when Minnie Driver's character(Skylar) asks Matt Damon(Will) to say that he doesn't love her & says it.

Little Big Man - when Little Sunshine is running with her baby to escape the American soldiers & is shot dead while her husband played by Dustin Hoffman watches.

Cruel Intentions - when Sebastian pushes Reese's character away from the oncoming car & gets killed.

21 Grams - when Sean Penn's character tells Naomi Watts' character the truth. Sorry don't wanna give away the whole movie haha
 
Moulin Rouge - when Christian is holding Satine in his arms while she's dying :bawl:. 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.
 
Breaking & Entering - The last fight between the married couple. The scene is so great because it's probably the climax of the movie but it's at very end. The emotion and the issues the characters are dealing with are so complex, you don't know how it's going to end.
 
Beth's death in Little Women is heartbreaking. The dialogue always gets to me.

Vada at Thomas' funeral...:cry:

It's sad in Ray when his mom is crying at his brother's funeral and eveyone is trying to comfort her.
 
Swimming Upstream (2001 Lifetime Movie)-when Morris and Teddy hug..and at the end when he comes back!!
 
:star:PLEASE READ:

I made a mistake.... I saw the spoiler for "Matrix Revolution" but since we have a rule that once the movie is released on DVD it's not considered a "spoiler" on the board.

But please, guys & gals, mark spoilers, especially for big popular movies. Use this smiley -> :spoiler:

If the movie has been released for less than a year, be extra careful and considerate unless the thread is specifically marked as a "spoilers thread"!

Thank You.
 
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.

Romeo and Juliet is a tear-jerker. It is sad when the star-crossed lover died together in each other's arms... They did their best to defy the odds, but their love wasn't that good enough to make them survive...
 
The first time I watched this scene, I could hardly breathe. 100 times later, I still can't. It's so heart wrenching and yet so beautiful. Gosh, it's a sad, sad moment.
 
Possibly all the last scenes in Titanic. Rose jumping back on in when it's sinking to be with Jack. The promise he asked her to make him, then him dying. Another one is emotional but in a good way, when they both reunite at the end, in heaven. That movie is my favorite of all time and always make me cry.
 
Babel- the scenes with Adrianna Barraza and the two kids in the desert...esp adrianna by herself helplessly wandering and just breaking down

and the scene at the when the cops tell her she cant go back to the us....so emotional

she was phenomenal in that movie and should have got the best supporting oscar
 
Baz Luhrmans "Romeo and Juliet" the very end when they both die (sorry if that spoiled it for anyone, but CUMMON its ROMEO AND JULIET! Everyone knows... haha) and then the credits come in with that song by Radiohead: "Exit Music for a Film". Oooo man gets me every time. And to whomever said Beaches... they were right!
 
Monster with Charlize Theron - most notably at the very end when Selby is condemning her to prison and that music is playing and Aileen gets dragged away out of the courtroom then she says something like 'True love never dies -- well they gotta tell ya something" as she is escorted down that white corridor to be executed... That scene was so powerful.

I know it's a weird one but in Dawn of the Dead when Sarah Polley's husband has just gotten bit and he's dying on the bed... She's totally hysterical as she tries to close the wound so he won't bleed to death then she starts banging the phone down and crying when she can't get a connection.

Every single part of The Passion of the Christ.
 
The last one I saw was the last scene of Big Fish. I couldn't stop crying. that was so sad.
 
The goodbye scene at the end of E.T. That whole film is filled with great emotional moments though.
 
Moulin Rouge - when Satine died in Christian's arms, all the way through until the credits rolled at the end.

A Walk To Remember - when Landon was driving to his Dad's house after Jamie told him about her illness. I was crying on and off from that point and was absolutely bawling at the end.

Finding Neverland - The ending was so sad!

Titanic - I haven't seen it for a long time but I remember crying when Rose had to let Jack go.

There are more but those are the ones that first come to mind.
