most emotionally devasting moment in film

[O Fen�meno]

American History X creates an amazing suspense in the last third of the movie, you know something is going to happen but you dont want it to. I was just so sad considering how both of them had finally turned their lives around and had given up their nazi beliefs. One of the few movies I have cried at the endings of.

Wow, he's not. It helps when posting a spoiler to mentione what your spoiling first. Not to write a long rambly post about different films, then write SPOILER!!!!, and spoil something completely unrelated. What makes it truly stupid and lazy posting, though, is that even after he typed SPOILER!!!! he didn't say "In The Wire when...", he mentioned the scene and character THEN the show.

Sorry, I know this is meant to be a civil forum and everything, but it's hard not to get worked up at people being so nonplussed at key scenes from The Wire being revealed.

Seabeast: after all that did you just turn around and spoil Carlito's Way? wtf?

Definitely "Au Hasard Balthazar."

The film distills existence down to its essence: He was born, he lived, and he died.

Since John took care Balthazar, I'll suggest the ending of "The Hustler."

Spoiler:

Fast Eddie beat Fats, but has lost everything. The love of his life, his best friend, and the freedom to play the game that has brought meaning to his life, after mobster Burt Gordon tells him, "Don't ever walk into a big pool hall again."

This is nicely echoed in "The Color of Money" when Vincent asks Eddie, "How come you don't play pool anymore?" To which he replies, "Somebody retired me."

In general...."The Deer Hunter".

Specifically.....The Christopher Walkien "Russian Roulette" scene.

I've seen the movie just once, and will never watch it again.

It takes my mind to places where I don't ever want to go again.

yea, I have that same feeling. I may watch it again at some point, but I really don't think that I'm ever going to see it more then two or three times in my life. The Elephant Man and Schindler's List are like that for me too

my life without me

when she's making the recordings for her daughters. man i'm getting teary eyed thinking about that scene.

The scene at the end of Titanic when Jack looks alive. But, he really isn't and he just drifts down into the cold, black water....


OK, seriously. McMurphy, post lobotomy, slays me.
