Movie scenes that sank your heart

[Mike_Tyson]

First one that comes to mind is New Jack City where Chris Rock cries as he reaches out for the crack pipe. He just cannot stop his addiction. It's not a scene where you cry or anything you just kinda sit there and say "Damn" with a sigh.

 

[MGS]

The dead baby in Trainspotting.

 

[El_Oso]

The killing of Costner's wolf

 

[austintexas]

Ol Yeller

Private Ryan-"earn this"

 

[Third Coast]

The scene in "The Fountain" when Tommy's wife Izzy dies of cancer just as a possible cure is found and simultaneously in the future as the Tree of Life dies in Tom's spacecraft.

 

[RC Didnt Offer]

Every moment of Requiem for a Dream.

 

[HornGrandioso]

When the guilty verdict is returned in To Kill a Mockingbird.

 

[threesheets]

Corny movie, but the first one that came to mind was the scene in Hope Floats where the dad just drives off and leaves his daughter in the street crying her eyes out.

 

[bevo barry]

Braveheart, when William Wallace sees his slain wife walking in the mists and says to her, "I must be dreaming", and she says, "you are...wake up...wake up!"

 

[ajax]

That scene when you realize in horror that there is no basement in the Alamo.

 

[TxStHorn]

Midnight Run

DeNiro, run out of town 9 years ago anddesperate for cash, grudgingly goes to his ex-wife's house to ask for money.

As he starts bickering with his ex, he turns as his daughter, who he hasn't seen in years walks into the room.

His reaction makes it one of the most touching scenes I've witnessed.

 

[RyanUTAustin]

#1 Forrest Gump : When Forrest is talking to Jenny's grave about little forrest being smart.

 

[BOSS]

Castaway when you figure out Tom Hanks has spent all that time wanting to get back to Helen Hunt and thinking about every day only for her to have moved on.

That movie is the most depressing movie ever.

 

[Jive_Turkey]

"I would like to have seen Montana."

 

[johnny chimpo]

In Traffic, when Michael Douglas' daughter is getting nailed by the crack dealer.

 

[austintexas]

bravo, johnny

 

[MizzouSnives]

In Platoon, when you see the helicopter has taken off, and Willem Dafoe running after it as he's being overrun.

 

[wolfman]

The scene from Schindlers List with the little girl in red.

 

[TyphoonSe7en]

the scene in great expectations when chis copper shows up to ethan hawkes big art opening in a ****** tux and knocks over a waiter with some drinks, it is just so sad and awkward for cooper and hawke is a dick to the guy who raised him

The ending of Pay it Forward

 

[jmatt]

Oh please. Old Yeller, and if you have to ask which scene....

 

[netslave]

Flogging of Jesus in "The Passion of the Christ"

 

[orange_xpress]

I second "two socks" getting shot in Dances With Wolves, and the flogging of the Lord. Both grabbed me.

Anybody remember the end of the Last American Virgin? Poor fella.

 

[GatorHorn]

Brad Pitt. Morgan Freeman. Kevin Spacey. Gwyneth Paltrow.

Guess...

 

[ACuriae]

Out of an abundance of caution...

**SPOILER**




Er, there's a particular scene in I Am Legend involving a dog, but since it's still in theatres....

 

[KC-97HORN]

triple nominate ol yeller

SPR, but not "earn this" the very next scene where the old Private Ryan is in the cemetary, has tears pouring down his face, pleading with his wife to tell him hes been a good man and led a good life and "earned it"

That scene is doubly tough for me to watch after lost my WW2 vet grandfather.

 

[threesheets]

jt- I have a a 17 month old daughter and a deadbeat dad. I haven't seen that movie in years, and I don't imagine I want to.

Here's a another one: the scene where drunk *** Cindy Mancini lets the cat out of the bag and sends poor Ronald Miller back to the nerd life.
