most emotionally devasting moment in film

[andyfox]

Nice when you own the whole shebang and have that luxury, huh?

I think I'm the only one who actually liked Attenborough's Chaplin. Great performance by Downey, IMO.

I just checked; my two nominations are definitely not spoilers. Besides, how many of you are going to run out and see Au Hassard Balthazar (even though you should)?

I have the donkey film in my blockbuster queue but if it's emotionally devastating I don't want to watch it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Katy,

In a way, though, it's also emotionally healing too, so watch it.

1st wife's death in braveheart breaks me

in blow, when he lets his daughter down @ the end, leaving her hanging when they were supposed to go to cali together

in do the right thing, when the entire movie hangs perfectly in balance 50/50, and mookie, who holds the key to tipping that balance decides on chaos in front of the pizzeria -- it is the epitome of cinematic climax... tragic, and truly hitting at the human condition in so many ways.

and one more, american history x, bathroom scene @ the end, i can't describe how well the entire movie builds up to that scene and never ceases to frustrate me

of course, sophie's choice, just wow @ that entire movie...

C'mon! Who didn't cry when Old Yeller died!

jesus [censored] christ. how do you people manage to spoil season 4 wire moments in a "most emotionally devastating movie moment" thread? i have held off even reading forum threads and essays about the earlier seasons specifically to avoid this sort of thing, and you can't hold off even in a movie thread? unbelievable. and in this sort of thread which is very much a "skimread looking for names that might jolt a sentiment within you" typing SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then putting it just below the exclamation marks in plain text which through presentation stands out does not exactly help.

this thread is BS. there are spoilers for season 5 of the wire in it. wtf.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just read more carefully next time. The guy that originally brought the wire up typed spoiler before he mentioned what happened, and I typed in <response to spoiler> before I mentioned what happened. I know you're skimming and all but that's on you, not anybody else. Especially in my case where I typed in <response to spoiler> and isolated it a break before my post. And you act like it's completely irrelevant to the thread, when it's not. Next time I'll put it in white, being a newbie that's what I've noticed others doing so that's what I'll do from now on. I'm sorry it happened, but don't blow a headgasket.

And I didn't spoil season 5, I merely said what I suspected will happen. Although I am willing to take bets that Dukie's going to get capped.

Photo album in Oldboy is a good one (if you saw it without having been spoiled, etc)

and if we're going TV, I'll add Wesley's story arc in Season 3 of Angel

-The conclusion of the Bicycle Thief. Actually, we might as well include De Sica's Shoeshine and Umberto D. There's a trilogy of pain.

-Dr. Zhivago, when Yuri is riding on the trolley and notices Lara walking down the street and tries to get her attention.
