most emotionally devasting moment in film

[BigPoppa]

People on Youtube have made a ton of vids of Band of Brothers set to music.

This video is terrific and shows the relationship between the medic Eugene Roe and the Belgian nurse that I mentioned earlier.

Every time that I remember that this really happened, that there really was a Eugene Roe and the people he served with really did live and die; it's like a kick in the gut. I was in the military, but in peacetime, so never suffered more than loss of sleep. Thinking about what they went through really works me over.


edit: Here's another Doc Roe video with the nurse.

Ok, probably not the most, but here are a few that definitely get me really sad off the top of my head.

Remember the Titans - car crash
Bridge to Teribithia - so glad I wasn't in a theater for this
My Girl - similar event to Bridge
Land Before Time - Littlefoot's mom dies (at least this was at the beginning)

Of Mice and Men - Lennie

Rick,

I wonder if most people still observe that 9:00 pm rule for phone calls. My pulse always races a bit when I get calls past this time, too. For some reason, I think we may be among the few here who have had that feeling.

Similar, except it's 9:30, and only if the caller ID shows that its my dad. It's happened maybe three times, all for really stupid reasons (e.g., he wanted to tell me that a guy I used to play baseball with works for him).

Just after the "Cease fire" bit in Children of Men, after leading the girl and the baby past the soldiers, when a rocket shoots out of the window and the fighting begins again.

Clip

I was still jacked up from adrenaline from the gunfight scene (same scene actually) just a few minutes earlier, and the awestruck looks on the soldier's faces coupled with the baby's crying lulled me into this state of shocked calm. I nearly jumped out of my seat when the shooting started again. It wasn't until after the movie ended that I realized how horribly [censored] up it was.

Im gonna watch Sophie's Choice and Grave of Fireflies because of this thread.

Movie- Last scene in Zwick's 'Glory'.

TV show- I get more emotional during the last 5 minutes of the last episode of Six Feet Under than anything else i have seen in film and tv. not sure why.

I have been enjoying this thread and have decided to add:

When Jon Voight dies and Ricky Schroeder is by his side telling him to "get up" in The Champ, I was 10 when I saw it and I balled
