First thing I thought of on seeing the thread title. I watch this movie probably 3 times a year, but I don't think I've seen this scene more than twice. I just can't watch it.

My other choices are the first time they shwo ground Zero in 25th Hour, the ending of Castaway, and the entirety of The Sweet Hereafter

Oh yeah, and when Wash dies in Serenity (right after "I'm a leaf on the wind")

There are some other moments that are oddly effecting also for no good reason, like when Radha Mitchell's character gets jacked at the end of Pitch Black...

(SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


Also, different category, but Bodie's last scene in "The Wire"

(/SPOLIER)

<response to spoiler>

Bodie's death didn't nearly get to me nearly as much as Wallace. I guess I'd put D and Stringer before Bodie as well. And I suspect Dukie's death when it happens in season 5 will be the worst of all.

I didn't even love the movie, but the end of Requiem for a Dream just gutted me.

Going by results, though I can't figure out WHY this moment destroyed me the way it did: Martin Sheen's death in The Departed

cause a few of us in here had seen Infernal Affairs and had already been shocked by that death [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

seriously though, I still can never get over the youngest brother in Legends of the Fall getting torn to bits by a german machine gun in that WWI scene. It messed with me when I was a kid, it messed with me when my brother was in Iraq, and it messes with me now. As an older brother, it's just gut wrenching to watch and put yourself in Tristan's position

Hell, the entire film of 21 grams was insanely devastating and just left me brutally cold after watching it

21 Grams is an example of too much devastation. It didn't add to the story, it was the story.

For those who haven't seen it, the look on Chaplin's face at the end of City Lights when the formerly blind girl realizes her benefactor was The Tramp. The single most memorable shot in cinema, including everything.
